SHERMAN AND HARRISON TALK.
The Ohio Senator in for the War-No Sec
ond Place for Ben Harrison.

The Ohio Senator in for the War--No Sec
ond Place for Ben Harrison.
CHICAGO, June 25.-A telegram from New
York gives an interview between John Sher-
man and a New York Herald correspondent
at Washington City, in which, referring to
telegram received by Sherman and which he
refused either to deny or affirm the receipt
of, he said he did not intend to withdraw
and was emphatcally in the race to the end.
He did not think Mckinley would permit his
name to be used, but if he did he would be in
the same position as the her candidates,
and SO would Blaine if he was
put before the convention. The OHIO delega
ton had been instructed to stand by him
[Shermanl by two successive state conven-
tions, and every district convention. The
senator said he was not over-sanguine to
the result, nor was he discouraged. The tel
egram Sherman received Saturday was from
Halstead and was as follows:
Blaine will certainly be nominated unless the
movement be checked by placing Mckinley
In nomination and concentrating the anti Blaine
forces Can We afford to lose this opportunity of
securing nomination for the state? Give MS the
word, and We believe can pull Mckinley
through.
The Herald. of this city, has a special from
indianapolis in which it is stated that the
Harrison men there had about come to the
conclusion that the convention has been
"jockeying" with Harrison and would event
ually nominate Blaine, and it was said that
Harrison himself had the same view. Harri-
son was asked if he would accept second
place and answered emphatically: mo. /
did not go into the convention for two places,
nor have ever had to be placated. In 1872
l was candidate before the Republican
state convention for governor, but Gen.
Browne was nominated. | was then solicited
to accept place on the ticket for congress
man-at-large, hut | told my friends that |
would not do it; that / had settled it as a
rule of my life never to ask for
two places at the hands of the same
convention. have no sore places at all.
/ have made two desperate races In this state
for offices that really did not want, and
made them only for the good of the party.
l made up my mind some time ago never to
make a race again for an office that did not
want. | would not accept the second place
on the national ticket, nor would l accept "A
cabinet position should a Republican be
elected"
Gen. Harrison was told that the inter
viewer did not believe Blaine could carry
Indiana if nominated, and said he was not
prepared to go that far, but his tone con
WINGED every one present that he had some
doubts that Blaine could carry the state, and
that is the opinion, says The Herald tele- |
gram, "of nine out of ten indianapolis Re- |
publicans who will say anything on the sub |
ject"
