New YORK. June ia reporter called
upon Ex-Governor George Hoadly of Ohio,
yesterday, and was intrepid enough to ask
him how he was pleased with the nomina-
tion of Thurman.
"Pye got nothing whateve to say ON that
subject" said Mr.. Hoadly.
Don't you intend to vote for him?"
81 am going to VOTE" said the Ex-Governor

Then you don't think his name lends
strength to the ticket?"
''Pye got nothing to say about that use
white handkerchiefs, though, and don't go in

Az all events, concluded the Governor,
Il shall vote the Democratic ticket, although

Louisiana's opinion.
NEW YORK, June 11.-Ex-Senator William
Pitt Kellogg of Louisiana, who is one of the
delegates at large from that State to the Re-
publican National Convention at Chicago, is
guest at the Fifth Avenue Hotel When
asked about the Louisiana delegates, Sena-
tor Kellogg replied: I'VE are all at sea

condition of perplexity. doubt and anxiety
all around, now that he is out of the way. l
guess, after all, the best thing the 9TH

too, and let us nominate him by acclamation.
There is no positive drift to any other man
yet, so lar as our delegation is concerned. If

a few delegates are now fol Sherman, but
everywhere they are desirOus to know what

on any man he can have the nomination.
DO not see how we can nominate Mr.. Blaine
after his last letter. OF course there will be
some votes cast for him anyhow. If all the
candidates should pull out and ask him to
come in, that would bring him. But they
are human beings and not likely to do that. +"

HARRISBURG, June lin the course of a
conversation on the Democratic ticket and
platform, Governor Beaver said Speaking

never heretofore distinctly raised. The Re-
publican party will gladly and unconquera.

unhesitatingly upon it. The re suit will, in

Promptly Denied.
New YORK, June 1.-THE statement rep.
resenting ex-senator Thomas c. Platt and
Senator Hiscock as having formed a com.
bination to drive Mr.. Depew out of the race
as Presidential candidate was generally re-
garded as having its origin great deal more
in imagination than in fact. The story was
specific in this: That on Friday last at a
conference at Mr.. Depew's house Messrs
Platt and Hiscock informed Mr.. Depew that
they could not support him and furthermore
demanded that he should announce his with.
drawal. Mr.. Depew is represented as say.
ing to his visitors that they were at liberty
to announce that he was not candidate
This was not regarded as sufficient, and His
cock and Platt are said to have insisted that
Mr. .Depew should write positive letter of
declination, which he peremptorily refused
to do. The conference is reported to have
broken up with the understanding that nc
definite decision would be reached until il
should be learned at Chicago how the Re.
publicans of the Northwest were disposed
toward Mr.. Depew.
Mr.. Hisoock returned to Washington or
Saturday night and Mr.. Depew was at his
country home at Peekskill yesterday, so thai
neither could be asked as to the truth OF
falsity Of the assertions. Mr.. Platt was founC
