Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-06-25
,een. overestimated and exaggerated.

been overestimated and exapuerated. haven't met many Blalnc man among the delegates; they are mostly found on the out side But since the adjournment of the con vention yesterday tho talk of nominating E alne by exclamation or even at all has sub. sided. g
 .sThe fact is the Blaine men dlh notadjourn the convention. The opposition arranged that programme in the afternoon. and the Blaine men fell in with it because they could not defeat it. The stories of Mfr. Sherman's withdrawal;are without foundation. If Ohio stands by him he can be nbmhated.'' Mr. Quay added that he had receivAd assurance that Mr. sherman would recefke two addi. tional votes in tho Pennsylvania delegation tomorrow, which would gyo him ffty-flve votes from that State.
 Congressman Bayne, of Allegheny City. a member of the Pennsylvania delegation and a former enthusiastic Blaine mat, made a bet to-day with Thomas V. Cooper, Chairman of the Republican State Committed sof Pennsyl- vania, of $500 to S1 ,000 that Nr. Sherman would be the nominee of the convention.
 .We will not be stampeded and we will not vote for MT. Blaine," was the nlildest of the phrases in the Iowa, Illinois and Michigan delegations during the day-three of them in former years the strongest States in the Blaine phaianx. Iowa was solid for Blaine in three successive conventions. Michigan nominated him in 1880 and was for him in 1876 and 1884. Michigan is close state tllls year so might ',e Illinois with Blaine forced upon the con- vention.
 Speaking of the Alger interests. ]. H. Stone, of Detroit, said: "Of this you nay be per- fectly sure, MT. Blaine will never get Michi- gan'.s twenty-six votes ill this convention. We will il ,!.. any stampede to the bitter end. I
 1 tt,srf r,oi- thcr withdraw from the race nor compromise by taking second place on the ticket. More than this, am satisfied from Observations that other States feel as we do, and Blaine cannot be nominated"
 "You will be very much older than you are now when you sec any Iowa delegates for Blaine,' said Congressman Updegraf, of Iowa, speaking for the Allison interests. "We don't want him.
 "Why not, when your people were formerly 50 earnest for him?"
 "Wail. We think his nomination would be- well, say injudicious this year certainly. It would have ,this ..rcsul: We fear the disrup. tion of the Republican party. We don't be- Hove that tine mam who are urging MT. Blaine's nomination are his best friends. The result of the conference is that we are f1rmer than ever for our candidate. We have the most encouraging assurances 0f coming support from other delegations to-day,''
 For the Harrison interests, Delegate Throck. morton, of Indiana, said: "The twenty-eight Harrison men in Indiana can neither be stampedcd nor cajoled into voting for Blaine. As to the two Gresham men can say nothing but tho rest arc solid as a rock"
 All stories about the Gresham strength in Illinois going to pieces were denied by Judge Green, of Chicago, who declared that the forty-three men would vote for Gresham again tomorrow, and tho three who had voted for Harrison would return to Gresham just as soon Gresham began to show any additional strength. In regard to Blaine Judge Green said: "I am convinced that this convention will never nominate MT. Blaine The opposition to him is too formidable and determined. His nomination would be 6 monstrous political mistake.'
 Tho results last evenings conferences are that the Blaine forces are determined -to stand their ground and the anti Blaine men have combined to prevent his nomination. This means d deadlock and leaves the situa- ton unchanged. Tho colored delegates met tonight and tried to ngree on Sherman, but their deliberations ended in c fight in which raZors were f1ourished but nobody hurt.
