SENATOR EDMUNDs
spent the early part of the day and part
of the afternoon after the adjournment of
the Senatess in his committee-room. He
was found at home early in the evening,
and said, in reply to a request for an opin-
ion regarding the nomination of Blaine,
that it ought to be the most popular thing
going; all the great central States and
pretty nearly a majority of New York,
on the latter vote, where the tug of war
has got to come, are very enthusiastic for
him. As test of what the Republican
party want, the States that have got Re-
Publican votes to give, ii certainly furnishes
very strong reason for hope of success
of the party. He certainly was a
great deal stronger than anybody
else in all of these States that
are doubtful An alluslon having
been made to his own candidacy, Senator
Edmunds said deyery BODY knew, who knew
anything about it, that "every movement
was made against my remonstrance. For
my part, 1 ann happy to say have never
had any bees in my bonnet" In regard to
reports from Chicago, indicating the prob
able nomination of Gen. Logan for Vice
President, Senator Edmunds said: 81
| don't see but it is the best thing that can
po sibly be done. The soldier element
viii be most fittingly recognized in the
| selection"
| SECRETARY LINCOLN
said he could not at once get over the fall
| ure of the President to receive the nomi-
nation, which he Lincoln) thought Mr..
| Arthur had earned, il such thing can be
said of anyone. But he added that the
| party had expressed its choice and in
nominating Blaine and Logan had made a
strong ticket. 1t had also a strong plat
form, and upon ticket and platform all
Republicans would, he said, unite heartily.
Senators Allison, Hale, ingalls, and other
Republican Senators all Endorsed the
ticket, though they are not particularly
enthusiastic.
WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC SENATORS SAY
Immediately on receipt OF the sews oi
Blaine's nomination an Associated Press
reporter sought interviews with number
| of Democratic Senators, in order to get
their views as to the probable effect of the
nomination. Many Senators we're found
to be out of town or otherwise not accessi-
BILE. Among those seen was Senator
Lamar, who said he thought the nomina-
ton of Blaine a brilliant one, a very strong
nomination in many respects and
in one or two particulars the strongest that
the Republicans could have made. Blaine
he said, had large and enthusiastic fol.
lowing, which will make the canvass one
of animation and interest, involving issues
| of real importance. Sin order to beat
him." he continued, eve shall on our side
need to bring out our best men,"
"Whom do you think, Senator, the Dem
ocrats should nominate against him ?'
"Well,' said Senator Lamar, 81
am very confident that the most
available man the Democratic party
can nominate is Mr.. Bayard." Senator
Brown thought Mr.. Blaine about as strong
a man as the Republicans could have
nominated. "At any rate," said Mr.
Brown, che is the ablest man of his
party" Senator George said that if the
this time, which he hoped and believed
they would not, he preferred Mr.. Blaine
to all other candidates who had beer
named. Mr.. Blaine, he said, was un
doubtedly man OF great ability. l think
continued Senator George, that there is
something good likely to came to this
country from a more energetic association
OF the Monroe doctrine. In answer tc
the question, "Whom do you regard the
most available candidate for the Demo
Gratis to put up against Blaine ?' Senator
George replied: ''If Mr.. Tilden's health
permits and be is willing to accept the
nomination, l have no doubt ht
is much the strongest man, but if he il
not well enough or is determined not tc
take the nomination Mr.. Bayard is the
best man. Mr.. Bayard being at his home
/ in Delaware could not be seen
