BROOKLYN Eagle: Any ticket placed in the
field will be constructed az to afford the best
chance Of capturing either Indiana or New Jer-
sey and Connecticut. This strateeical necessity
gives unique prominence to Senator Hswley,
William Walter Phelps and ex-senator Harri-
son.
S. II. ALLEN . delegate to Chicago from
Maine, said to Boston reporter: "Maine will
send TO Chicago delegation prepared to vote

New York. Since Blaines last letter they have
given him up entirely. aud, although greatly

preferences TO the larger States"
SENATOR SPooNER. of Wisconsin, in Pittsburg
interview: The Chicago convention promises
TO be the most interesting ever held by the Re-
publicans. Who 10 likely to be the NOMINEES! I
will mention names. but the indications point
to one being chosen from New York and the
other from Indlsna It is necessary that one Of
them should belong in Indiana.
DELEGATE GREEN, Of Nebraska Much ID
said about Gresham in the Garden City and he
organ. the Tribune. has placed him in q very
uniavorable position for second choice. His
friends do not stop when they have lauded him to
the skies. but insist on belittling and beratine
his competitors Mark my word, that thu fed
eral judge will be the second choice Of but few
members OF the convention.
RUSSELL A. ALeER will be- IL nominated, one
of the poor-boy candidates. he was left an or
phan at eleven, and went to work farm for
seven years to help care for younger brother
and sister. That was in Richield, in northern
Ohio. Then he went up to Akron and studied
law. He paesed q fine examination before the
Supreme Court and then went away to seek his
fortune; and eventually found it. to the extent
of ST., 600. 900.
KANSAS CRY Journal: Cyrus Leland, IT,, the
Kansas member of the national Republican
committee, voiced q sentiment that will have
powerful influence in determining the nominee Of
the Chicago convention when. in speaking Of
the probable action of the Kansas doe gates, he
said: I'VE want q man who can win above all
things, however, and will he disposed to let the
representatives of the doubtful States-New
York, Indiana, Connecticut and New Jersey
name such man if they can"
BEN BUTTERwoRTH: The rumors about more
Blaine letters and his being nominated are nom
sense. Biaine's honor lies between himself and
acceptance of the nomination after the two le f.
sers he has written. / believe that he himself
would regard it 40 discourteous treatment If bis
friends presume to try and nominate him after
II I'd Z aa
indscretion in them to crowd bis name into the
convention after these TWO letters.
PHILADELPHIA North American: Charles
Emory Smith, editor Of the Press, has been Sc
lected to present the name of Mayor Edwin n.
Filter to the Chicago convention for the Repub-
lcan nomination for President Mr.. Smith will
go into the convention by courtesy OF Charles A.
Porter, OF the Fourth district who retires to
permit the editor OF the Press to make the
nominating speech for Mr.. Filter. This arrange
ment is the result OF . long conference between
Mayor Filter and editor Smith.
SECRETARY FEssENDEN Of the national COM
mittee. says his State, Connecticut, will come
to Chicago for Hawley. he is, however, very
fairly inclined toward Allison. Secretary Fes-
sender is pronouncedly opposed to Gresham.
II admire Judge Gresham . man, but the
East distrusts him. First, because Of his mug
wump tendencies. and second, because of his
advocacy by men who have been preaching the
gospel OF free trade to the exclusion of every
other doctrine which true Republicans hold
dear"
son and Phelps, and the friends OF this ticket
state one argument very forcibly. It is that
Harrison comes to tho convention with his State
in his hand. State that he can carry and q
State that Blaine could not carry. That is q
h IN Ia in, thA han
delegates are around. Then Phelps, they say,
carry New Jersey, and that 10 another State
Blaine could not carry. Again, Allisons candi-
dacy is not TO DO considered unimportant by any
means"
WASHINGTON special in Boston Advertiser:
There is a feeling here that the present conspic-
uous aegressiveness of the Michigan boom is to
have . reactionary effect Should this prove
true the struggle would be narrowed to the two
Indiana candidates. and = New England Repre-
sentative remarked to-day. after reasoning the
issue down to this point. that the Harrison peo-
pie were conducting an exceedingly judicious
campaign. and that his candidacy had as yet
aroused NO antagonism such would tell against
Q concentration upon his name.
MR. CHAUScEY ]. FILLEY, Of Missouri who
IL talked Of 40 permanent chairman Of the con-
vsntion. VIII en- asked by Chicago interviewer
IL he were Sherman man, said: my sympa-
thies are with Sherman. certainly, more than
with any other candidate, but can only desig-
nate my position by saying that / conceive it
the duty Of the Republicans in the Southern
States to let the men who will have to elect the
President nominate him. OF course. We have
our preferences but take il that il is the Re-
publican States which should name the men,
SPECIAL in Boston Herald: All Of the New
Jersey men arc wildly enthusiastic for the can
didscy of William Wsltsr Phelps They claim
that ticket of Harrison and Phelps Or Allison
and Phelps would be impreenable in their State.
Mr.. Phelps knows every ward and precinct in
the State of New Jersey, and is ono Of the
shrewdest political workers in that State OF
short-haired wire -pullers. In addition, he is a
man Of very large means, OF culture and refine
rnent. This selection would do much 20 remove
the complication now existing in New Jersey
affairs. and pave the way for ex-senator Sewells
return TO the United States Senate.
