Sherma an Expected 1t.

COLUMBUS, o., Feb. 13.-Joln Sher-
man, who is in the city, on hearing that
Mr.. Blaine would not allow his name to
be used before the Chicago convention.
said that he had been expecting some
such utterance from Mr.. Blaine for
some time. He had understood that it
would be forthcoming. Mr.. Blaine was
one of the foremost Americans, whom
every Republican would have delighted
to honor, and it was a source of regret
that he had not concluded to make the
race again. Mr.. Sherman did not care
to talk much about the Blaine letter.
and thought it would cause number Of
other candidates to come to the front,
He proposed to take the race for the
Ohio delegation, and would contest
honorably for the nomination. Mr..
Blaine was Republican that could
sweep the country IL nominated, but he
had understood all along that he would
not again seek the nomination. 1t was
on. this hypothesis that he tSherman)
had entered the lists.

Senator Harrison said: ''Ihe letter of
Mr.. Blame was surprise to me. ] had
supposed he would neither do anything
to promote his own nomination nor any
thing to prevent it. If the majority of
the convention should be fayorabl it
seemed to be almost certain
He::certainly was not actuated in taking
this step either by fear of defeat In the
convention or at the polls. He has given
his own reasons and i have no doubt
sincerely. Mr.. Blaine will continue to
be:the leader whether his name is OH
the ticket or not. The letter breathes
the same intelligent and earnest de-
votiOn to the principles of the Republi-
can party that has always characterized
him.

JONES INTERVIEWED.
He Says That Blaine Is i'm the Best
of Health and Does Not Want to
Re President

PlTrsBURG, Feb. IS. - Hon. b. F.,
Jones, chairman of the Republican
national committee, was interviewed be
reporter this afternoon OH MIR. Blaine,S
letter of declination. Mr.. Jones stated
that Mr.. Blaine was in the best of
health, and it was not for this reason
that he declined a denomination.
''As given to me at the time to which
Mr.. Blaine refers, the reasons were
these: Before the nomination by the
Republicans i'm 1876 Mr.. Blaine was
very anxious to obtain the presidency.
and worked for it, with the aid of his
friends. He was disappointed when it
went to another man in the manner if
did. In 1880 he was still anxious, al
though in lesser degree, and his disap-
pOintment was less marked In 1854 he
had to great extent lost the desire for
the office, and now he withdraws from
the contest because he has no wish to
become president. He takes keen in
tereSt in literay work and wants rest and
quiet. l assure you these are the ONLY
reasons for Mr.. Blaine's letter that are
known to me. Everybody sooner or
later loses desire for something which
they were anxious to obtain: and this
is entirely true in The ease of Mr..

is not greatly surprised at Blaine's let
ter ana believes it removes Blaine from
possibility of nomination. While it has
Tor some time past been clear that as
the situation stood Blaine had walk
over for the nomination, Gen. Alger
says yet there has been an element in
the party that did not want him nOmi-
mated, and this representation is strong
enough to take him at his word and
hold him there, if there was any desire
on the part of the man from Maine to
take back what he has written.

BLAINE'S HOME.
Manley Says the Situation is Not
Changed by the Letter.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Feb. 13.-The an
nouncement in the morning papers that
Mr.. Blaine says he will not allow his
name to be presented to the national
Republican convention has created a
breeze of excitement IN this city, and
has been the only subject of discussion
among Mr.. Blaine's friends. Mr.. Man
ley says: sit does not change the situa-
ton. Mr.. Blaine's friends have in
sisted that he was not candidate. If,
however, the Republican convention be-
lieves Mr.. Blaine is the man who can
best unite the party and nominate him,
[ believe he is too much of patriot to
decline. Having once been the candi-
date and having been unsuccessful he
could not again seek the nomination.
He must leave the party free to act
He has no right to decline. If, how
ever, some other Republican than Mr..
Blaine should be nominated Maine will
vote for the nominee"

Like an Amorous Widow.

special TO the Globe.
NEW YORK, Feb 1S.-Robert G. Inger-
soil said tonight: "Blaine is like an
amorous widow, Stimulating cOyness to
allure wOOers. She says no, but
she means yes. Mr.. Blaine, to my
knowledge has had the presidential
fever for the last twelve years, and that
never leaves a man until life leaves him.
He is trying the same drawing dodge
that 'Iilden tried in 1880, and, as hap
pened to Tilden, he may, much to his
disgust, be taken at his word.''
