GEORGE b. WILLIAMS
Tells Who the Candidate Is That Indiana
FavOrs.


FavOrs.
Chicago Tribune.
General George B. Williams, who has been
elected delegate from the Ninth district of In
diana to the national Republican convention, be-
ing asked yesterday at the Grand Pacific about
the proclivities of himself and Fellow delegates
to candidates. said: II am naturally for an In
diana man; would prefer to see home candidate
and believe most of the delegates feel the same
way. But recognize fully that the Republican
party must carry New York to win, and for that
reason I am for the man who can carry the EN-
pire State l think that our delegation will all
view this matter in the light do. do not be-
lieve the Indiana delegation will be divided up
among the various candidates. On the contrary
personal preferences will be sub
Ordinated and we will probably all
vote together as a unit, and for the man
that the convention as whole seems to think
will have the best chance of winning; and, as
said before, New York is essential"
Whom do you regard as the strongest manP
II cannot see where we are going to find man
more apt to carry New York than Arthur. He
has made New York politics study, and knows
the ropes. Perhaps Edmunds would be yet
stronger. Edmunds and Lincoln would be q
splendid ticket. 1t looks to me as if Blaine and
Arthur are using each other up. The Utica con
vention will weaken both Of them if spirit of
bitterness enters into it.
General Williams thought that Congressman
Calkins would be the Republican nominee for
Governor of Indiana, and that he would be
elected. Indiana Republicans were not bit
afraid of Tilden. The man they most feared
was ex-senator Mcdonald. If the Democrats
nominated him for Presidentth the resultin Indiana
would be doubtful, but he believed the Republic
ans would win

reporter
''No, not in the general aceeptation of the
term, but he will, like any other American citi-
zen, not excepting Tilden or Seymour. with
their stereotyped declination, accept it if it is
rendered him"
''Where are Grants elements of strength"
Everywhere He is the second choice of the
followers of Blaine, Logan, Arthur, and the other
candidates. Mark my word if more than three
ballots are taken without the selection of some
one, break will be made for the hero of Apo
mattox that will be in the order of flock of
sheep following its leader over a fence There
is political undercurrent at work just now,
which, if it means anything. means Grant"
