duOLneI llckeL IN the uelQ. MT. Long
greatly encouraged the Blaine men.
''HOw would the old ticket, Tilden and
Hendricks, run with Blaine in IndianaY'
i think that Blaine would beat that
ticket. The people have an idea that Til
den is in very poor health and has to be
fed with a spoon, and whether true or not
that is the impression. Bayard and Nc
Donald would be the strongest ticket the
Democrats can nominate. Bayard and
Morrison would made stronger ticket"
BOOMERANG.
Said an anti-Blaine New Yorker to-day:
"a letter which Blaine wrote in the sum-
mer of 1882, when Folger was up as the
Republican candidate Tor Governor, to a
late friend in New York, vindicating the
right Of every Republican to rebuke unfit
nominations by refusing to support the
nominees, will be used with as much ef-
feet against Blaine as it was against
Folger."
ANTI-BLAINE DOCUMENTS.
The Democrats are preparing cam
paign documents showing Blaine's bad
record and Logan's financial vagaries.
They Will republish the Puck tattOod
man cartoon, and will also publish a cut
of Blaine's handsome house on Dupont
Circle.
BLAIR PLEASED.
Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, SAID
that he was very much pleased with the
ticket. He attached more Importance TO
the platform than to the ticket. He had
succeeded in getting the resolutions favor
ing general education and a labor bufeau
IN the platform, and had thus accom-
plished all he desired. He thought that
the ticket would be elected. and saw no
reason to fear any falling off in the Re
publican-~YOte Of New England. Mr..
Blair added that whether Blaine or
Illden be elected the country will no
doubt continue to prosper.
KENNA ON WEST VIRGINIA.
Senator Kenna, Of West Virginia, said
that the claim that Blaine is stronger
than any Republican in that State grows
out of the fact that he has invested some
money in a railroad there and that he has
declared in his book in favor of the pay
ment Of the West Virginia debt by the
government. "But why didn't they put
that in his platform if they mean it?v
asked Mr.. Kenna. THAT" he continued.
''will have no effect in West Virginia, be-
cause the people know that it Will never
be done; but even if they had reason
to believe that the Republican party
were sincere in this matter that
would not loose US the State. We will
carry it by our usual majority and will
defeat Blaine and Logan" Mr.. Kenna
thinks that Tilden Will be the Democratic
candidate.
BUTLER, OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
Senator Butler, of South Carolina, says:
''We will beat that ticket.v
Senator Voorhees, said: 81 do not con-
slider it strong ticket. l say that in>all
sincerity. Why / never in all my life saw
such revolt within a party against
ticket. The men on that ticket have
kicked an Independent every time they
a
will kick them back"
Senator Mcpherson, of New Jersey.
SAID: I'VE are going to swamp that ticket.
Yes, we will beat it in New Jersey and
in the country"
Senator Williams, of Kentucky, said:
"lt is strong ticket; no doubt of that,
but we Will beat it.''
BLAINE's BLUE BOOK OF DELEGATES.
The Egeninq Sters Chicago special
says: "SOme of the details of the manage
ment Of the Blaine canvass have come to
the surface since the nomination Friday
last, and prove to have been of the most
thorough and efficient character. Before
the convention met over 800 letters had
been received, giving the personal and pO-
litlcal status OF the SIG delegates, leaving
but four unaccOunted for. These letters
were epitomized into a ledger, so
that the record of every
delegate could be found at q glance.
Where any question arose, the sub-com-
mittee was detailed TO confer with a
delegate to secure certain pledges and
promises. 1t was partially through this
service that the motion TO adjourn after
the third ballot was defeated. There
were great many delegates who would
not vote for Blaine as a candidate, but
who were willing to vote on certain pre-
liminary questions not affecting, as they
4 l,
there were others who were not unwill-
ing to hedge a little for a possible
contingent in Blaine. Besides
this personal knowledge of each
delegate, committees We're selected to
wait on all the delegates known to be
doubtful and to influence them to Join the
Blaine column after the second ballot.
SOME OF THE HENCHMEN.
"Nhitelaw Reid and ex-senator PIatt
rendered such excellent service i'm this
direction, by assurances that Blaine
could carry New York, that many men
who were in doubt were thus captured
and held, and requested not to vote
except on the second or third ballot. So
certain was this strength, that
even if Illinois had not
changed the fourth ballot would
have shown an increase of 80 votes for
Blaine, and the column would have risen
III all pOSSiDle COM DlnaJlO0S laQ Doen de-
feated, as the result showed. In addition
to all this, the Blaine management had
vigilant men detailed to watch each dele
CATION where votes had been promised
them. The course of the stalwarts also
had great influence. George G. Gorham
and other well known and intimate
friends of Conkling worked unceas-
ingly for Blaine, and it had
the decided effect Of cutting down
the Arthur column. On the other
hand, there was no good manager in
charge of Arthur's campaign. All the
efforts that were made for combination
failed utterly, as is known, and like the
Edmunds managers they were at sea half
of the time. Preparations have already
begun for the Democratic Convention.
Col. r. J. Bright, late Sergeant-at-arms
OF the Senate, is here in charge"
TICKETS WHICH WOULD WIN.
Privately, Congressman Calkins, candi-
date for the Republican nomination for
Governor in Indiana, admits that Blaine
and Logan cannot carry Indiana. Pub
licly he SAYS: cit is good ticket. 1t is
not as strong in the East as Arthur would
have been, but much stronger in the West
Blaine is stronger in Indiana than Arthur,
but not as strong in Ohio"
"How would the ticket run in Indiana
if Joe Mcdonald was nominated by the
DemocratsY"
''It would be very close. If j. F. Nc
Donald is put on the tail of the ticket, it
won't make much difference; the people
never think or care but little about the
