New YORK, June 8th.-The Herald says
to-day: Blaine is man who dies hard.
There is belief among the Republicans of
this State that Blaine will be nominated at
Chicago and forced over. With the
party for the past week the idea of stam-
pede in the Convention to Blaine has
spread so rapidly that there are many dele
gates who believe this will be done. They
say they do not see any other way on ac-
count of the start which many Presidential
candidates are getting.
Not only the New York delegates talk of
solving the present problem in this way,
but men who are here from other States
are becoming Of the same opinion and say
he is the only man the Convention can
unite upon. The race as it stands is be-
tween Alger, Gresham, Harrison, Allison
and Depew. The scheme is a simple one,
based on the supposed inability of the Con-
Yentlon to choose nominee from the
names presented. Intellectual balloting
will be continued for two or three days,
the time depending on the relative strength
of the candidates. If one gets long lead
and dangerously near the limit the mine
will be sprung sooner.
When tired out by their useless ballot
ing the delegates will see man, who per-
haps has nominated one of the unsuccess-
full candidates, arise and withdraw the
name he presented, in q well-prepared
speech. He will say it is no use. The only
man on whom all Republicans can center
is the one about to be mentioned for the
unanimous choice of the party. That name
will be James G.. Blaine. Then the Con-
vention will be stampeded.
Late last night ii was rumored that
Chauncey NJ. Depew wonld be prevailed
upon to present the name CT Blaine at
Chicago in the event of his own failure to
get the nomination after several ballots had
been taken. A stampede is regarded in this
event as certain.
THE OHIO BLAINE MEN.
SPRINGFIELD (O.), June Sth.-The Re-
publicans of the Eighth Congressional Dis
trict held an enthusiastic meeting a, Blacks
Opera House last night. The meeting was
addressed by William H. West, who nomi-
mated Blaine in 1884. He said that the
idea of the meeting was not to antagonize
any of the distinguished gentlemen in con-
nection with Chicago, but merely to ex-
press the preference of the Republicans of
the district for q leader. He doubted not
that all those men were qualified for the
high office of President; but personal
strength with the people, in addition to
qualification, was demanded of the candi-
date this year.
He said that Blaine had been driven from
the contest by the Endorsement of Sherman
at Toledo year ago, and stated that the
Florence and Paris letters would never
have been written had it not been for that
Endorsement.
He expressed the belief that Blaine or
Depew could poll 1900 more votes in New
York than any other candidate, and Ohio
ought to be mindful of that fact.
Resolutions were adopted pledging sup
port to the Chicago nominee, but COM
mending to the Convention " that peerless
statesman, James G. Blaine, whose name is
linked with certain victory"
A JOURNALISTIC IDEA.
New YORK, June Sth.-The Telegram, in
an editorial, says: But let no one imagine
that Blaine has permanently banished the
thought of some day entering the White
House otherwise than guest.
