emphatic denial Of the reported interview with him
sent out from Pttsburg last Saturday night in which
he was made to say that Mr. Blaine could not support
Allison sherman Harrison for the nomination. that
Mr. Blaine was socially friendly 10 these gentlemen
but politically they wide apart. THAT is
language which passed my llps,' said Mr. Jones'
The greater part Of the reported interview is SIM

Sherman, as reporedl'
"only the delegates at large and few Of the dis
trict delegates have far been elected 1t Is there

There is a story, Mr.. Jones, that in 1884 Walker
Blaine brought to you and $. Is. Ekins letter from
his father directed to Senator Conkng asking his sup
port, which left to your discretion to deliver or
not, and that II was not deliverod.'
"I never or heard OF such letter 1t is a
story OF the character the reports now being
spread that Mr Blaine has written letter withdrawing
his withdrawal, that he Will write letter refusing
