WASHINGTON. June 1.-The advance guard Of
the Republican lcRions left Washington this
afternoon. bound for Minneapolis. and the
men who composed the Blaine division wore
happy countenances. 1t is practically certain
that they have received the assurance from
Mr.. Blaine which they have been so long hop
Ing and working for. The talk OF last evening
at the blaine mansion between the Secretary
and senator Quay and other nnti-iiarri-
son leaders settled the matter. and it
IL now known rs q fact that Mr.. Blaine
Is lin the hands Of his friends" The
Suy correspondent was assured to-day. hy
two prominent Republicans who took part
In these conferences. that Mr. Blaine has at
last got his spunk UP. and Is lighting mad"
with the man across the avenue. mainly on ac-
count of the recently published statements
dcrogatory to him. emanuting from tho Prcsi-
dent. Attorney General Miller. and Secretary
Foster. He was also informed that Mr.. Blaine
declared last evening that he would write no
more letters. and that It was cyilnn from what
he said that he now wants to be nominated
and expects to be.
There was II great deal OF important work
done in these nnnl conferences a. tho Score
tarys house. Not only was it established to
the entire satisfaction OF all concerned that
Mr. Blaine would be candidate and would
accept nomination, but many Of the details

likely to bring about the expected stamI EIDE at
the word 60" This suggestion did not Ind
favor with tho Secretary and his confidential
friends. Some OF them thought It would be
well to have the announcement made by some
eloquent ora'or from some OF the States high
up on tho roll like Senator Wolcott OF Colo
RADIO or ex-senator Ingalls, OF Kansas. but
there seemed come objection or another to all
that thu Westerners suggested. because OF
their silver procltvities or other local reasons.
and 1t was finally decided that the nomination
shoild be made by Maine man. whose name
is withheld for tho present.
Mr. Blaine In these final conferences with
his friends expressed great Indignation at the
talk OF the Harrison men about his e. disIoy-
atty" He claims that no has been faithful
and tireless worker for the honor and glory OF
this Administration. and that the disoyalty"
has been entirely on the side OF his jealous as
sociates in the Presidents camp and he de-
clares that there is no member OF the Cabinet
who would not initiate his example in regard
to the Presidential nomination under similar
conditions The course OF the President
ant his lieutenants in sending out
authorized statements intended to disgrace
the Secretary OF State. and spreading them
broadcast over the country through the me-
dunn OF the press associations has angered
Mr.. blaine and his friends. and it is under
stood has caused a complete breach between
the Secretary and tho President The estab-

tion has also aroused much adverse criticism.
