| W. Flanagan, ]. c. DeGress, st large.
| In conversation with Mr.. Flanagan be.
fore his departure yesterday for home
that gentleman said he should probably
vote for John Sherman for the first three
or four ballots, and that he believed ths
Sherman would have $50 more votes OF
the first ballot than any other candidate
When asked whether he believed Sher.
man would be nominated he said tina
depended in great measure OF
what the Republican states did. He con
sidered Blaine honest in his letter from
Florence; he had three years to conside
the matter in and knew that he could b.
nominated If he desired it, and could b
elected also. 1t WAS personal reason
that caused him to decline, possibly thu
reason was known to himself alone. Mr.
Flanagan said he was not Blaine NAL
now and had not been one in the past.
Hon. A. J. Rosenthal, questioned in re-
gardto the nomination of state ticket
said he for one should never again favo
fusion, he believed in making strsigh
fght. He said that while he believed
Blaine to be sincere in his letter that q,
occasion might arise at Chicago whicl
would bring Mr.. Blaine's name prom
inently before the convention, in whicl
event ne would be proud 10 vote for MI
Blaine. There WAS no ground for fusiol
with any Of the parties on the tariff ques
tion, and the hope of electing one or tw
Congressman, one in S,yers' district, tn
other in Grains, could only be realize
by making fight on the issue betwee
the two great parties, the Republican an
! Democratic, and this hope woul
not be realized should Re
lpublicans as party unit
with the Union Labor or other part
for state officers, as 1t would have
tendency to solidlfy the Democracy. o
course, there could be no fusion with tn
: Prohibition party. These things bein
considered 1t was more than probabl
that full Republican state ticket woul
be put in the field.
The friends of Dave Black OF this cit
are very much disappointed that he wa
not appointed one of the alternates TO
the state at large. It WAS expected tha
this would be done, and j. w. Wray
/ chairman of the Tarrant county delega
ton, asked Chairman Flanagan to max
the appointment. What was the surpris
OF the delegation to find that Burrel
johnson and not Dave Black was tn
lucky man. It is said the "rabbit foot
was worked on Dave and his Republica
friends in some unaccountable manner.
NOTES.
