WHAT EDMUNDs THINKS.
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
Edmunds spent the early part of the
day and OF the afternoon after adj
journment of the senate, in his COM
mittee. He was fonnd at home early
in the evening and said in re-
ply to a request for his
opinion regarding the nomination
of Blaine; it ought to be the most
popular thing going. All the great
central states and pretty nearly ma
jority of New Y ork, on the latter of
which the tug of war has got to come,
are very enthusiastic for him. The
states that have got republican votes
to give certainly furnish very strong
reasons for the hope of success of the
party. He was great deal stronger
than anybody else ia all those states
that are doubtful.
An allusion having been made +
his own candidacy, Mr.. Edmund
said: Everybody knew that every
movement was made against my earn
| est remonstrance. l have never had
any bee in my bonnet"
| In regard to reports from Chicago
indicating the probable nomination of
Gen. Logan for vice-president, Sena-
tor Edmunds said: 81 don't see but it
is the best thing that can possibly be
done"
