In the matter of the Repnb lean eau
Gus nomination for President pro tenn,
there was infinitely more feeling among
Senators than the caucus proceedings IN
dictate. The Blaine influence was from
the first thr wn against Mr.. Edmunds,
and as shown now, for that and for varl-
Gus personal lessons it would have been
impossible for him to receive the nom-
nation. A Senator, who is strong adj
mirer Of Mr.. Blaine, said that had Mr..
Edmunds, as he was repeatedly asked
to do, made at the close OF the Hresl-
Dental campaign one speech IN the New
York Academy Of Music, it would have
changed three times the number Of votes
necessary to give New York to Blaine
instead Of Cleveland A member Of the
National Democratic Committee, who
was on duty in New York during the
neriod Of the campaign, corroborated
this statement fully. and added that he
felt perfectly certain the friends Of Mr..
Blaine would never again permit IA
nlunds TO occupy the chair of the Senate.
