New York Not Stopping Over with En-
thusissm for Him.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
NEW YORK, June S.-Senstor Sherman
is building up his fences here, tut fuds
it hard work in the approaching heat of
summer. New York IS not stopping ever
with enthusiasm for him. The most seri-
Gus obstacle he everywhere encounters is
the solid declaration OF New J1k lead
ers, like Pistt, Hiscock, Depew and
others, that he cannot carry New York.
Tie worst of it is, so far as Shermsn's
canvass is concerned, that they sincerely
believe IT. Werner Miller, who was
quoted for Sherman, has gore over TO
Harrison. Still Shermsn's friends are
sciive J 7 Howard, who was sn sp-
praiser here, has been taking paper
around to bar 2rs and business men for
their signatures ind0rsing Sherman, but be
mas not CeenHeven f.irly successful. Ex-
Governor Foster, who is here grooming
Sherman, says he is certain to be nomi-
mated His opinion Is probably based on
The same estimates limited at in reports
that come from others Of Blsirt IS friends,
who say the Sherman column row num-
bers $50 to $50 votes, and that he will ge.
the necessary msiOritV on the second
ballot. am told tnat Sherman expects
half OF Maine, part CT Massachusetts, 2
from Rhode Island, 2 from Vermont, 2
from Connecticut, 10 from New York,
part OF California, 2 from Colorado. 9
from Nevada and IS from Pennsylvania
These are votes from unexpected quarters,
his friends say. He is confident that he
will be nominated. The speech present
ing him to the convention will be made
by General Hastings, who is 8 member Ct
the st.ff of Governor Beaver Of Penusyl
wants, and who is said to be an eloquent
orator.
Congressman c. A BouteIle Of Msine,
WAS sea captain before he became the
editor Of the Bangor Wing and Cou. Ter,
from whose ssnctum he entered political
life. He can spread his sea legs and bal
aLce himself in rapidly whirllrg railroad
car when other men would be knocking
their shins and elbows on the seats. Il
was II this athletic pose that he placed
himself in e psrior car en- route from
Bargor to Augusta, Me, one day in 1884
shortly after the Republican nstional
convention had selected Mr.. Blaine as the
party standard bearer. Mr.. Blaine him
self sat in the seat facing the Jolly sea-
man, who ct this particular moment
was rot jolly at all. He had been read
ing some "heavy editorials" in the lesd-
ing Republican papers at Augusta. As
Editor Of the Bangor Republican organ,
whether from sense Of rivalry or from
cool Judgment, he dissented strongly
from these Augusta editorials. HIS Ian
guage wss occasionally pointed by Ian
guage which implied that the white pa
per had better have been left "blank !"
Mr.. Blaine Tgas az first somewhst dis
mayed at the captains vehement out
burst and denuncistion Of the editorials
as STOOL productions" the "emsnstIops
Of idiots" and so forth. But presently,
as if sense CT immense righteousness
had come to hin, with knowing smile
on his fsCe, he said: "Why, Charley, are
these editorials so terribly bad?"
The Captain went of Into ano her
paroxysm Of denunciat,on and whitening
sarcasm, which was followed By Mr..
Blaine in this quiet remark: "Wen,
Charley, l am sorry 10 hear you say SO,
for wrote them myself"
The weather steadily grows hot and IN
comfortable for Captain )utelle, and he
went to window on the opposite side of
the car to get breath of fresh air, until
Mr.. Blaine laughingly invited him to
come back and sit Gown to discuss the
articles in question from the stand point
from which they were written. The
story got out only last week, and is
counted q good one on the Captain.

native OF Maine. He spends most Of his
time in Rome and has jlst come from
there on his way to his home near Port
land, Mr.. Blaine was visitor within
four or five weeks in Mr.. Simmons
studio in Rome, and the sculptor says his
appearance was one OF good health, vigor
snd Ppirits, When asked wEst he
thought OF the prospects CT Mr.. Blaine
accepting denomination, he laughed
quietly TO himself and sad: 81 sm not
politician, but don't you think any
man in Mr.. B,sine's position, if the peo-
pie wanted him, would waive his per-
sonal feelings and judgme MT to meet their
wishes AID desires? l believe that is
about ell there is to be said in answer to
your question. OF course, do not really
know anything about it.
Henry Oliver OF Plttsburg, who is bet
ter known as "Harry" Oliver, Is ct The
Fifth Avenue hotel. Mr.. Oliver again
has some political prominence through
bis election as q delegate st large to the
Republican national convention. HIS
election WAS IN large degree personsl
triumph, as the machine had "slsted"
another man. He once missed the U1ited
States Seua.orship by one vote, and has
slwsys been Jealous r republican. He
is ssid at the present, as delegate to
Chicago, to have as his motto, "Let Us
hsve 8 winner" In his conversation
with his friends he expresses the judg-
ment that, as the Fl ght is to be largely in
New York, New jersey and Connecticut,
the national convention should defer to
the judgment, Of the delegates from those
states in the Selection OTIS candidate.
