Governor Foraker was called upon by a
representative OF the Associated Press,
and submitted to an interview, with the
following result
anomalous position before the people
Of Ohio or the country, but am compelled
to say in view of existing conditions that
Sherman is no longer Presidential pos
sibility SO far as this Convention is con-
cerned. / have done my full duty to him
in his candidacy. I have been
faithful, if not more SO, and equally
as conscientious as any members
Of the delegation to further his and Ohio's
interest, but, as say, he is practically
out OF the question, and my support
ceases from now on. There is almost
fifty per cent of my delegation who are
for Blaine, and when the Convention
meets Monday l shall vote with these
delegates for Blaine's nomination, / in
sist that it is for the best OF good politics
that we take care OF our State when it
becomes apparent that our own can
didate cannot be nominated. / am
free lance from now on, and
shall take care Of Ohio's interest now
as / have always done in the past. As
to whether the remainder OF Ohio's dele
CATION will adhere to Sherman, I cannot
say, but do not believe they will. They
may for the first ballot, but OF course af-
ter that am unable to speak"
GLOW about the candidacy of McKin-
ley?"
81 don't believe Mckinley is vet in
business for himself. He is for Sher-
man."
"Will you support Mckinley in case
he becomes Ohio's candidate ?"
81 will have to see Mckinley first, and
before Ohio presents him as its candidate,
l will be around with a suggestion, per-
haps."
"You are absolutely positive that you
will not support Sherman on Monday ?'
~ can tell you that have the hardest
possible time to hold the Blaine element
in the delegation back They insisted on
voting for Blaine during the last ballots
taken, but / insisted that we
do our duty by Sherman. We have done
so, and now / shall go with them.
am also prepared to say that il bal
lot had been taken to-day, the vote would
have been as have indicated it will be
on Monday"
FOSTER TALKS DIFFERENTLY.
A representative of the Associated
Press called upon Ex-Governor Foster,
and interviewed him concerning the
status Of the Ohio delegation in relation
to the vote to be cast on Monday. Mr..
Foster said:
"We were just counting noses, think
everything is all right. The delegation
will continue to vote for Sherman. II
there are any votes for Blaine they will
not amount to anything, simply matter
Of about eight votes. We have few
Blaine men among us, but under an
agreement signed by the delegation there
will be no change OF candidates unless a
majority of the delegation so decides.
That's why l don't believe there will be
any detection"
In the next room to the west, McKin-
ley was reclining on his bed, apparently
worn out, while in the third room
were Congressman Butterworth and
Markham, and Green B. Raum. This
room has direct wire connected
with Senator Sherman's residence in
Washington, and here tonight confer
ence was held with well guarded doors.
1t was understood that only general
topics relating to the outlook were dis
cussed.
1t is claimed on good authority that on
the first ballot there will be about
twenty votes for Blaine and the rest for
Sherman, and that after this Sherman
will be abandoned and the forty.six
votes cast for Mckinley.
HARRISON MEN WILL STICK.
The Harrison contingent held meet
ing tonight at which it was claimed by
the managers Of that candidate that
several other delegates were on hand.
The flattering vote received by Harrison
to-day has made his friends very
sanguine, and they propose to stick as
long as they can.
Senator Spooner, chairman of the Wis
consin delegation, said tonight to an AS
sociated Press reporter, that Wisconsin
was almost unit for Mckinley, and that
he did not believe Blaine would receive
any votes from his State. He believed
however, that Harrison would be sup
] ported for another ballot.
