FORAKER'S JEALOUSY.

FORAKER's JEALOUSY.
1t Is Brewing Trouble in the
Buckeye Camp---The Governor
Deserts Sherman.
Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, June 23.-Notwithstanding
the efforts to the contrary on the part
of that wing of the Ohio delega-
ton led by Congressman But
terworth, eX-Gov. Foster and
Marx Hanna, the principal topic of con-
VefsatlOn in the hotels tonight was the
rumor that Senator Sherman had with
drawn from the contest and instructed
his friends to cast the vote of Ohio for
MAJ. Mckinley. 1t was SAID on the best
authority that Murat Haistead had been
IN telegraphic communication with the
Ohio candidate, in which the latter had
been asked to withdraw his name, and
that he had complied with the request
in dispatch received this evening by
the cincinnati editor, and asked that
MKINLEY BE SUPPORTED.
The alleged recipient of this import
ant telegram and the gentlemen above
named deny the reception of any such
withdrawal, and insist that Senator
Sherman is still in the field.
Gov. Foraker was called upon by
representative of the GLOBE and with
his usual grace submitted to an inter
view. with the following result: II
don't wish to be placed in an anomalous
or questionable position before the
people of Ohio or the country,
but | am compelled to say in the clear
view OF existing conditions that Sena-
tor Sherman is no longer a presidential
possibility so far as this convention is
concerned. l have done my full
duty to him in his candidacy. | have
been just as faithful, is not more so
members of the delegation to furthe
his and Ohio's interests. But as | say
he is practically out of the question, and
my support ceases from now on.
There is almost so per cent
OF my delegation who are for
Blaine, and when the con-
vention meets Monday morning l shall
vote with those delegates for Mr..
Blalne'S nomination. | insist that it is
the best of good politics that we take
care of our state when it becomes ap-
parent that our own candidate cannot
be nominated.
AM A FREE LANCE
from now on, and l shall take care of
. L
done in the past"
Ohio delegation adhere to Mr.. Sher-
man?''
AS to that 1 could not say. but
don't believe they will. They may for
the first ballot, but of their course after
that am unable to speak"
Kinley?"
Il don't believe Mr.. Mckinley is as
yet III business for himself. He is for
Mr.. Gresham"
"Will you support Mr.. Mckinley in
case he becomes Ohio's candidate?"
Wei, Pll have to see Mr.. Mckinley
first, and before Ohio presents him as its
candidate I'll be around with a sugges-
ton, perhaps"
You are not absolutely positive you
Will not support Sherman Monday?"
Il can tell you that have had the
hardest possible time TO hold the Blaine
element III the delegation back. They
insisted on voting for their candidate
during the last ballots taken, but l in
sisted that we do our duty for Mr.. Sher-
man. We have done so. and now | shall
go with them. ] am also prepared to
say that if a ballot had been taken to-
day the vote would have been as | have
Indicated it will be upon the next op-
portunlty. On visit to the Sherman
headquarters at midnight a GLOBE
reporter disclosed the presence
of about dozen delegates. Several of
them were sitting around ex-Gov. Fos-
ter, and when the reporter begged for a
talk with the latter he was immediately
accommodated. Concerning the status
of the Ohio delegation in relation to the
vote to be cast Monday, Ohios late ex-
ecutiVe said:
I'VE were just counting the noses
when you came in, and | think
EVERYTHING Is ALL RIGHT.
The delegation will continue to vote
for its candidate, John Sherman
''HOw many votes will be cast for Mr..
Blaine asked the reporter.
''Oh, if there are any cast it won't
amount to anything-simply matter of
about eight votes"
''Do you admit then that such a thing
will occur?"
'Well, | have heard it rumored. We
have few Blaine men among Us, but
under an agreement which every dele
gate signed there will be no change of
candidates unless majority of the del
egation so decides. That's why [ don't
believe there will be any detection"
In the next room to the west, Mr.. Nc
kinley was reclining on his
bed, apparently completely worn
out. while in the third room
were present Congressman Butterworth
Mark Hanna and Gen. Green b. Raum.
This room has direct wire connected
with Senator Sherman'S residence in
Washington, and here tonight a con-
ference was held under
LOCKED AND WELL
guarded doors. 1t was understood that
only general topics relating to the out
look were discussed. 1t is claimed. on
good authority, that on the first ballot
Monday there will be about twenty
votes cast for Blaine and the rest for
Sherman, and that after this Sherman
will be abandoned and the forty-siX
votes cast for Mr.. Mckinley.
MURNURS FROM MANKATO.
Republicans There Are Disguised
With the Prospect of BIaine's
Nomination.
Special to the Globe
MANKATo, Mimi, June 23.-Local
Republicans are not joyful. There is
too great prospect for the Chicago con-
vention to become farcical to suit them.
Blaine simply as Blaine could be swal-
lowed by most of them, but Blaine with
his epistolary addenda produces feel
ings of WEAKNESS. The present pros
