| In conversation with MIR. Flanagan be-
fore his departure yesterday for home
that gentleman said he should probably
vote for John Sherman for the first three
or four ballots, and that he believed that
Sherman would have $50 more votes on
the first ballot than any other candidate
When asked whether he believed Sher-
man would be nominated he said thai
depended in great measure on
what the Republican states did. He con.
sidered Blaine honest In his letter from
Florence; he had three years to consider
/ Thn In nd hat hn
nominated II he desired it, and could be
elected also. 1t YVES personal reason
that caused him TO decline, possibly the
reason wss known to himself alone. Mr.
Flanagan said he was not Blaine man
now and had not bsen one In the past.
Hon. A. j. Rosenthsl, questioned in re-
gard to the nomination Of state ticket
said he for one should never again favor
5 fusion, he believed in making a straight
fight. He said that while he believed
Blaine to be sincere In his letter that ar
occasion might arise at Chicago whjct
inently before the convention, in which
event ne would be proud TO vote for Mr.
Blaine. There was no ground for fusion
Efsh any Of the parties on the tariff ques
3fion, ana the hope OF electing one or two

the two great parties, the Republican ant
Democratic, and this hope woul'
not be realized should Re

lsNl1h the Union Labor or other part.
4 fcf state officers, as 1t would have
tendency to solidify the Democracy. o
course, there could be no fusion with tn
Prohibition party. These things bein!
considered It was more than probabli
that full Republican stste ticket wcult
De put in the field.
The friends OF Dave Black Of this Cit.
are very much disappointed that he wa
not appointed one OF the slsefnetes fo
the state at large. It was expected tha
this would be done, and J. W. Wray
chairman OF the Tssrsnt county delega
ton, asked Chairman Flanagan TO max
the appointment. WHIST was the surpris'
Of the delegation TO and that Burrel
Johnson xnd not Daye Black was tn
lucky man. It is said the "rabbit foot
was worked on Dave and his Repubiicsl
friends in some unaccountable manner.
