NOT FOR BLAINE's NOMINATION.
The Hartford Courant sets forth that the
story that the Connecticut delegation to the
Chicago convention was ready and waiting to
vote solidly for Blaine is a Misrepresentation.
1t says: "This was just what majority OF
the delegation would not do. Not that they
were of necessity opposed to Mr.. Blaine per.
sonally, but they kept before them the mem
DRY of his letters and did not consider it good
politics after he had so spoken to put him in
nomination. To that conclusion they came
"a decided majority of them) before they
reached Chicago and they grew more positive
in it the longer the convention endured. Mr..
Blains's own additional dispatches forbade q
vote upon him as a candidate and SO no di-
vision of the convention took place upon that
question. All cordially united in the nomi
nation of Harrison and there were no splits
or quarrels. A chief difference between the
Chicago and st. Louis conventions was that
the Republicans went home pleased with a
candidate they had chosen while the Demo
Gratis went home mad at the candidate they
had had to take"
