lie said the situation was different from that
OF all previous Conventions in that there were
no favorite sons to be sacrificed. All of
them had been sacrificed in their own
States. The only chance in his judg-
ment OF Harrison being defeated was that
the Convention should vote for half a
dozen different people. and so prevent q choice
until the opposition to the President had a
chance to concentrate But the supreme cf-
fort to induce Blaine to become a candidate
had practically retired all other candidates. SO
that unless Blaine allowed his name to be used
Harrison would DO the nominee. both by the
potential force Of his record Of his friends. and
By the default Of opposition.
