JOURNEYING TO THE CONVENTION CITY
DISTINGUISHED REPUBLICANS EXCHANGE VIEWS
AT BREAKFAST.

Pittsburg, June 14.-There was a notable gathering
OF Republicans at Union Station this morning their
way to Chicago. Among the number Senator
and Congressman Mckinley and Butterworth, of Ohio
While taking breakfast the gentlemen were all dis
posed to talk quite freely.
Senator Spooner said. "Thc indications point to
the selection OF one candidate from New-York and
the other from Indiana. 1t is necessary that one
of the candidates belong to Indiana and It is unfor-
innate that two residents from that State should DO
in the field"
Senator Stockbridge said that the Michigan delega-
ton was not only going to present General Ayers
name but would nominate him. The delegation was
solid.
benjamin Butterworth said that the convention
would DO the greatest held by either of tho
parties. "Upon it," said he, depends the future.
that the future will either be Of grand success
or the going to pieces of the party. II destructive
element tries to nominate man whom wiser heads
know might be defeated then might well divide
the assets and build up the party anew. But do
not expect such result. / believe wise course
will be pursued and strong man nominated. The
talk Of more Blaine letters is nonsense. Blaines
honor lies between himself and acceptance OF the
nomination after the two letters he has written l
would regard 1t an ndiscretion I'm his friends to
crowd his name Into the convention aftor these two
letters
Major Mckinley said that Sherman was sure of
800 votes on the first ballot and he had every reason
10 believe he would be nominated. Blaine,' he
said, was out OF the race. Tho platform would be
sQuarely for protection"
