Blaine to be stronger by 10000 votes in New
York State than any other candidate the Repub
licans can name. One of the reasons given by the
Pacific States for urging Blaine is that to select
either Sherman or Harrison would be to abandon
those States. Neither could carry it, they say
on his Chinese record and Mr.. Sherman Is espe-
cially hampered by his financial ideas.
ATTENTIONS PAID To FRED. DOUGLASS.
Frederick Douglass was object OF much in
terest as he walked slowly through the corridors
of the Grand Pacific leaning upon the arm of a
colored friend. lie halted at the entrance of the
room Of the Alger headquarters and was quickly
surrounded by crowd of men eager to shake
hands with the venerable and honored representa-
tive Of his race. To every one who approached
him he extended his hand courteousy. On being
asked his views of the situation he replied:
There is nothing that can say to-day in addi-
ton TO what have already said so often before.
am, as you know, emphatically for John Sher-
man. L think the Republican party should nomi-
nate him, and believe that il he is nominated he
can be elected. sincerely hope that the New ork
delegation may eventually be led to give tneir
support to Mr.. Sherman
Ex-Minister John A. Kasson, of Iowa, arrived
to-day, looking sprghtly as he did four years
ago, but his hair and beard are somewhat winter.
OF course he said am emphatically FOR Mr.
Allison. First Of all, it is the duty of the Re
publican party to choose q who can be elected.
That is the main point on which we should agree.
in the second place, it is highly important that
the next Republican President should be man
who can harmonic and weld together the different
factions which have caused the party so much
trouble in the past. l regard Mr.. Allison as pre-
eminently the man to meet these requirements.
All can agree upon him, and such choice can
offend no one.'
Would the nomination Of Mr. Depew ieopardize
the vote Of Iowa, on account OF the hostility OF
the people of that State to the railroad interests
generality" Mr.. Kasson was asked.
" / can only say" he replied, that much as
Mr. Depew is admired by all who know him for
his splendid abilities and personal qualities 1t IS
my judgment that the prejudice existing in certain
quarters against corporations and those identl1ed
with them would have tendency to operate
against the success of his candidacy
ELLIOTT r. SHEPARD ON THE FIELD.
Elliott T. Shepard arrived this morning and is
stopping at the Hotel Richelieu. 1 believe"
he said that New-York will be solid for Mr..
Depew when the balloting is begun. Every one
admires his fitness for the office and it seems to
me that il is a reflection upon the common sense
and patriotism of the Republican party to say
that there are those who will not vote Tor MN
on the simple ground That he is identified with
great corporation. 1t is difficult for people IN the
East who know how popular he is with all classes
there TO understand this He is always in demand
among the labOring classes when they want TO be
addressed on current questions IN whlch they are
Interested Mr. Depew's candidacy is straight
forward and entirely without enmlty toward or
jealousy of any other candidate, ana may say
that think the entire delegation represents this
same spirit which Is the proper spirit IN WHICH
to enter National Convention" "a
Among the Michigan delegates is William o. At
wood, of East Saginaw, colored man. ana @ the
only colored delegate in the convention from me
Northern States He said Our State Is soma
for Governor Alger We all hike him very much IN
Michigan. He came to the rescue OF the Repuo-
lcan party in that State when we needed the as
sistance of Just such leader and we feel that we
should do all we can to advance him now Mlchl-
gan will stand firm for General Alger, and we do
not talk of any second choice
OPPOSED TO THE AIGER PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
Senator Teller, of Colorado, expressed himself
in very forcible language to-day regarding the Al
ger boom" why said he, " it is positively
disgusting. Such thing running candidate
simply because he has 'barP was never before
heard of in the Republican party; For one,
wouldn't vote il he were nominated But dIhe tb
Ssard Ssani0r S'1ai man say SG Why, w Wy igsr is
nominated, he will put up sl,O0O,O0O' SAID:
That's nothing to me-. 1 cannot vote for man nan
simply because he is able to contribute 81 ,0OOO 600
to o campaign fund. Better put the nomination
up at auction at once and be done With It, Inc
man hadn't another word to say. No, It's posi-,
lively disgusting. II the party Is willing TO award
nominations on basis of money, the quicker u
goes to smash the better. Why, IT'S aDsolutey
indecent for people like that seeking such honorS
in such way: / declare, lose all patience when
/ think of it, 1t is one Of the things which make
nun feel disguised with politics" 49,,
Ex-COngressman Brewer of New-Jersey, arrived
this evening with some other members OF the state
delegation "We shall put William Walter Phelps
in nomination." he said. " The whole delegation
is pledged to his support
" Who will nominate hlmY
"J. W. Griggs, probably, one Of the delegates
at-large"
Have you any second choice? 2"
Haven't thought of that yet We are nrst
for Phelps, YOU know But if it becomes neces-
sarv TO make a second choice, why then we are,
of course for the man that can be elected. lhere ere
is no trouble about carrying New-Jersey; the
trouble is with New-York and Indiana. III lt can
be shown that any one put in nomination can carry
those two States he will have the support OF
New-Jersey.'
NO SECOND PLACE FOR HARRISON.
Many of the proposed combinations here In
cluded the name of General Harrison in the second
r1lace on the ticket A prominent Indiana poll
tfcian said tonight that all such talk could be
dismissed as idle. In the first place, they were
greatly encouraged with the results Of their con-
yass thus far and expected their candidate 10
stand second place in the ballCtlng-neXt to Sher-
man; in the second place, General Harrison was
simnly too poor to give up his profession Tor the
Vice-presidency General Harrison was really not
worth more than sl5, 200 $4,000, having re-
duced what would have been competence by
charitable gifts, supporting dependent relatives,
etc If be continued in the practice OF the law he
would be able in the next few years, to accumulate
enough to make him comfortable for the rest OF
his life but for the reason that he needed to do
this the ce-Presidency was noJ to be thought
Of
