Tom Reed is silent, and his refusal to
talk may be significant.
TOM REEDS SARCASTIC REMARK.
He did make, however, one OF his
Enthusiastically sarcastic remarks. A
correspondent showed him the Blaine
letter on the floor OF the house. Mr..
Reed, who OF course had read the letter
at his breakfast table, perused it with
seeming care, and then turned the
paper over and asked, quizzically:
Where is tho rest OF it?"
In the past Mr.. Reeds friends have
said that if Mr.. Blaine were out OF the
way he could haro all the New England
delegates. Every hour, however, makes
clearer that tho followers of the
'Plumed Knight are scattered, and
tina. whatever opposition thore NAV be
to the denomination OF President liar
rison will require days and perhaps
weeks to get together.
The talk OF Reed and the New Eng
land delegation, which is sure to arise
in the next few days, may be discount
cd by the statement that Mr.. Blaine is
practically certain to give the AIaino
delegation to President Harrison, and
that such leading New England Repub-
licans as Hoar, Dawes, Proctor, Aldrich
and Platt, OF Connecticut, are all for
Harrison.
