to Stay and "Sure to be Nominated
Without the Least Friction"
WASHINGTON, Dec IKE POST
prints the following: Hon. Joseph Fl.
Manley, of Augusta, Me-, was in WASH

siderable time with Secretary Blaine.
Certain politicians who escorted Mr..
Hanley to the station on his departure
pressed him for an expression of Secre-
tary Blaine's intentions as to the presi-
dency. Mr.. Manley replied that Mr..
Blaine was not candidate in
the sense he was in 1876, and
was not asking and would not ask
anyone to support him. He would not
refuse the nomination if it were ten
dered him. his position now being the
same as it was in 1880 and 1884. This
reply did not satisfy the capital city
politicians, and they insisted on some
thing more explicit from Mr.. Manley.
One of them, recognized power in the
local republican party, and also a recog-
nized warm friend and admirer of Mr..
Blaine, declared, bluntly: "Mr. Man
ley, this district will, of course,
elect two delegates to the next
national convention. Now, we
can elect two Blaine delegates,
we have the unquestioned power to do
so; but we do not care to do it if Mr..
Blaine will not permit the use of his
name If he will we will give him two
votes as certain as the day of the con-
vention comes"
Mr. Manley smiled at the speakers
earnestness and replied: go ahead,
gentlemen, and choose Blaine dele
gates The old man is in the race, and
in to stay. He is certain to be nomi-
mated and that without the least fric-
ton. I speak by the card"
