It was admitted last night at tho Fifth Ave-
nue. Hotel that the Gubsrnatorial boomlet OF
Andrew d. White had gone whore do good mig
eahs go. For week 1t had all tho prismatic
hues and beautiful roundness OF soap bubble.
But tho bubble has been pricked By Repub-
lcans ana has vanished from this earth. The
Democrats didn't have time to get chance TO
blow 1t into oblivion. 1t was here to-day and
gone tomorrow.
The first opposition came whom stragelers
from all the Northern counties began to arrive
and trot through the corridors OF tho
Fifth Avenue Hotel. This contingent WAS
followed by other Republicans from
the Mohawk Valley. 1t Is singular that
the chief kIckers against White have been the
followers OF Warner Miller. the Herkimer
statesman. Mr.. Miller Is now in London. and
has had no opportunity to advise with his fol-
lowers
The White boomlet sprane into existence so
quickly that there was no opportunity to COM
municats with Mr.. Miller before his followers
had Of their own accord killed It. In this pro-
ceeding they were substantially unanimous.
Ono OF the most interesting arguments used
against Mr.. White was his attitude toward
President Arthur in Chicago In 1884. Mr..
White then thought that Mr.. Arthur was not
good enough to be rsnominsted.
In the last few NIGHTS at the hotel any num-
Der OF Arthur's old fiiends have publicly de-
clared that II Arthur WINS not good enough for
White In those days. White Is not good enough
for them In these days. Then OK

This is particularly painful to Mr.. Whites
friends. especially as the candidate had been
induced TO writa a letter saying that he would
accent the nomination.
