What Mr.. Blaine's Friend says.

Chicago Special Ex-senator Dorsey OF
New Mexico. generally recognized as one O I
MIR. Blaine's confidential friends, was ask.
ed here what he thought OF John H.
Manly's declarations that MIR. Blaine's
letter is not to he regarded as final, but is
to be considered only as an announcement
that he was not striving for the honor.
Mr.. Dorsey replied:
"Manly is not q good friend of Blaine's in
saying so. After that letter it would be
impossib le for him to be nominated. Tho
letter released IN any friends from their oh.
legations to him. and they would not sup
port him for the nomination. There was
no one on the national committee who
knew that the letter was coming except
Elkins. There are good many who are
saying they expected it. Blaine certainly
not intended to decline the nomination
when he wrote the Paris letter. He made
up his mind afterward and made q final
resolution. He withdrew because there
was an evident opposition to his nomina.
ton. and his election, if nominated. is
doubtful. believe the reason he with.
drew was because he did Mt think hs could
CARRY New York, and rather than run
again and he defeated. he chose to decline
at a time when he could do so with credit
to himselia and the party"
