MIX. CLARKSON,S OPINION.
1t Would Be Proper for Blaine to Ac-
cent the Nomination.

WASHINGTON CITY, May 24.-1Special. l.
Chairman Clarkson, of the Republican
national committee. who arrived in Wash
ington City from New York last night,
made some significant statements today to
caller at his room at the Arlington hotel.
The gentleman who had this conversation
with Clarkson is a thoroughly reliable
man, and gave the substance of the inter-
view to the PosT-INTELLIGENCER CORE
spondent Immediately after his confer
ence with him. Clarkson showed feeling
in his talk with this gentleman, and en-
phaticaiiy insisted that as the nominal
head Of the Republican party he had per-
feet right to advocate the nomination Of
any candidate for president that he con-
sidered would be the strongest before the
people. Ciarkson stated that Blaine has
given the president every opportunity to
secure denomination, and that his letter
of January 6 last placed President Harri.
son in a position to go before the
people and secure their verdict. At this
time 1t was very apparent that the voters
In the Republican party preferred Blaine
to Harrison, and desired his nomination
at the national convention. Ciarkson
further insisted that Secretary Blaine
should, in justice to the party, accept the
nomination if it were rendered. He be-
lleved Blaine, if nominated, would con-
slider it his duty to make the race. Clark
son went on to say that by his declination
in 1855 he had really given the nomination
to the present chief executive, and aided
him as much as any other man in that
campaign TO secure his election. Clarkson
said that Blaine shortened his European
trip at that time and returned to take part
in the campaign in the interest of the Re-
publican party. He has also done as much
as any other man to make the present ad-
ministration success.
The people had never yet regarded
Blaine as out of the list of presidential
possibilities, and for the past sixteen years
he has been foremost before the people
as the Republican candidate. The presi-
dent. Mr.. Clarkson is stated as saving,
could in no way feel bitter TO Mr.. Blaine
if the nomination was rendered him at
Minneapolis, for he had given Mr.. Harri-
son every opportunity to succeed himself
The whole matter now rests with the del
egates at Minneapolis, and they Will prob
ably try To represent the will OF the people
who selected them to represent them at
the national convention.

SHELTON, May 24.-.Special. The local
Democrats met on Saturday evening last
to sound the clans as to their preferences
on silver and the presidential candidate
Several local politicians addressed the
audience, and showed that the Democracy
is by no means unit on either question.
One of the speakers euloglzed Cleveland,
but others favored Hill and denounced the
stuffed prophet" in none too select
English. going so far as to say they would
vote straight Republican ticket if Cieve-
land was nominated. As to silver, most
of the speakers favored free coinage, but
some admitted their ignorance. or were
non-committal or policy men. which
shows that fair-sized split Is worrying
the ringleaders. The meeting was held
in order to give the county delegates to
the Democratic convention a drift of the
public idea, but they are now more puZ-
zied than ever-between the devil and the
deep sea-but the local leaders will instruct
