"Priyate" Letter from lcicle Sherman of
Ohio - Not on the Programme
Officially but Yet Ready to
Play if Called On.

New YORK May 26.-The reapPearance
of Don Cameron at this time has been
variously construed but no one has yet
been able to say positively in whose interest
he will exert his influence Colonel +. A.
Burr, who is close to the Cameron machine,
is of the opinion that the Senator will do
what he can to hold the delegation in check,
to be used at the proper time for the candl-
date thought to be most available.
"Will it be Blaine?
No" he replied; "and am quite sure
that the Blaine strength at Chicago will be
barren ideality so far as Pennsyl ylvania is
concerned. There is curious condition Of
things in that State The situation is about
as follows: Blaine has much decided
strength, partially because Pennsylvania is
his birthplace. The delegates instructed to
vote for him will be divided into two
factions, those who intend to vote for Blaine
so long as he is in the field, and those who
will take the earliest opportunity to change,
presume that on the first ballot Blaine will
get two-thirds of the delegation, but the
claim that he can hold this against odds
first last and all the time is preposterous.
The statement that he controls the dele
gates-at-arge is also a mistake, for know
positively that three of the four are against
him. If he holds twenty of the delegates
through thick and thin it will surprise me
| can safely say that the Senator has not yet
decided whom to support. He wants few
dayS for consultation.

ply, says:
UNITED STATES SENATE. WASHINGTON, May
22.-Mv Dear Sir: Your kind note of the
10Th is received ] am gratihcd that old
friends like Yourself still have confidence in
me. This is more pleasing than success.
! have not regarded my nomination as
probable thing, nor have in any way sought
to influence the action of the convention. If
the nomination comes it will be more CRATE
full if unsought, and | will then try to meet
its responsibilities If not, | shall be con-
tent without disappointment TO abide the
decision of the convention. 1t is hardly TO
be expected that the Republicans ola State
so large as Ohio should all have the same
choice for President. especially Of one who
has been compelled to take so active part
in politics as myself Still the general
good will of the delegation seems TO be as
Sured and there is no one on it who could
fairly be considered as an enemy. If they
were entirely united and cordial they could
easily nominate me- With many thanks, ]
am very truly YOURS JOHN SHERMAN.
1t is believed the letter was addressed TO
Geuernl Beatty.

Friends of Blaine Said to be Trading Him
CHICAGO, MAY 26.-The News publishes
the following from its New York correspOn-
dent:
"Mr. James e. Blaine will undoubtedly
he surprised to learn that a strong move
mcnt among his de.re-i friends is on foot to
cast him overheard AS an available in the
Chicago Convention and to select success
ful candidate The gentlemen whose names
are mentioned below will likewise experience
something of sensation and while they can
find the leak without any great eNertion it
will he difficult to stop it. Last week there
arrived at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, in this
city. Mr.. Charles Emory Smith, editor of the
Philadelphia Press, and the hub in which
the Blaine spokes of Pennsylvania are In
serted, together with his faithful man Fri
day, Mr.. Moses P Handy, managing editor.
An hour later, Mr.. Murat Halstead, editor of
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, arrived
at the same hotel. and the afternoon train
brought halfa dozen Philadelphia delegates.
They met in a large private parlOrand were
speedily Joined BY Senator Sherman broth
er-in-law and second self, Mr. MOultOn. The
meeting had been prearranged and every
man in it understood that it was for the pur-
pose of dicker with Sherman by Blaine 5
trusted friends. This information comes
from first hands, and MesSrs. HalStead Smith
X Go. will recognise lis entire truthtuIneSs
The Brother-in-Law.
The sentiment of the meeting was that
Blaine could not get the nomination. and
the aim of the meeting was 10 secure sec
ond choice. Mr. Smith informed the meet
ing that Blaine could not depend upon the
PENNSYLVANIA delegation, and that it would
be advisable 10 secure another man while
Halstead felt confident that Sherman would
win if Smith and Handy could throw the
PENNSYLVANIA delegation his way. At any
rate, he would be satisfied with the Phila-
delphia city delegation, certain that the re-
mainder of the State would follow their
lead. What did Mr. Moulton think of this? ?
Mr.. HalStead had arrived in New York via
Washington, so that he was posted on the
subject so far as Senator Sherman was CON
cerned but as matter Of fOrmalitv, and to
bring it before the delegates present Brother
in-law Moul;on was asked the question. He
deemed it en,ircl, advisable, and as the
time was short the trade should be cOnsum-
mated at once All present acknowledged
that Blaine had teadily lost ground since
April. while Arthur had materially increased
his strength, and they considered the fight
narrowed down to Blaine and Arthur
Blaine Means Defeat.
"It was calculated that contingent sur
render of the Blaine people would be the
proper thing, making Sherman the second
choice, and when the Chicago Convention
fails to nominate a candidate after the
third ballot it will be found that Blaine men
who are not voting for Arthur are voting
for Sherman. Mr. Charles Emory Smith is
thoroughly convinced that Blaine means de-
feat. Mr.. Halstead was ina I-told-you-so
position. and worked in Sherman. The
meeting further agreed that Blaine did not
possess even a fighting chance.

tration of President Arthur and his claims
for the nomination at the cominA conven-
ton. The men who are quoted represent
the capital, enterprise and commerce Of
Chicago. The unanimity with which they
approve of the administration, and the per-
sonal words of admiration for President Ar
thur are remarkable All who were seen
are reported as they spoke. A number of
gentlemen whose views would have been full
Of weight and desirable, are out of the
city. The concentration of the opinions
here collected is that President Ar
thur is the candidate OF the business men
Of the country. These. opinions remove
from consideration the only criticism which
the opponents of the President were able to
make concerning the immense meeting in
New York on Tuesday evening, viz: That
the business men of New York City were
for Arthur because his home was in that
city. The business men of Chicago are for
him with as much unanimity. 1t may be
said here that outside of these business
circles, in gatherings of politicians during
the past week, the sentiment has been gen.
orally expressed that Arthur is gaining
strength daily.
