NEW York, June 1.-THE esteem in
which Whitelaw Reid, the republican
candidate for the presidency, is
held by his neighbors in White

IN a friendly demonstration by the
citizens OF that town, who, irrespective of
party affiliations, went out on the 0phir
farm and serenaded Mr.. Reid. Mr.. Reid
was enjoying q chat with the members of
his family when a party of several hun

New YORK, June u.-Accordiug to an
evening paper one of its reporters today
saw the Hon. Whitelaw Reid at his country
home and the paper quotes Mr.. Reid as
having said that ten days before the con-
vention he and Mr. Blaine dined together
In the course of a general conversation
they got down to politics, and Mr.. Blaine
told him that he (Mr. Reid was likely to
be the next republican candidate for the
presidency.
Mr.. Reid told Mr.. Blaine that he did
not particularly want the post, and could
afford to wait. He was satisfied with the
honors he has had in the shape of one of
the best posts abroad at the disposal of
the government.
Mr.. Reid turned the conversation on
Mr.. Blaine himself. He said to him:
Whats this talk about you?'
Mr.. iBlaine said: Il have no wish to
be candidate" and left the impression
that his withdrawal was final. Mr.. Reid
was then asked if he could explain the
meaning of Secretary Blaine's withdrawal
from the cabinet if it had not in view the
nomination for the presidency at the Min
neapolis convention. Mr.. Reid said that
in his opinion the secretary's resi- gnation
had nothing to do with the possible NOM
ination, and that it was something alto
gether foreign to what might take place at
Minneapolis which led Mr.. Blaine to take
this step.
An Ereninq World White Plains special
says Mr.. Whitelaw Reid this morning, re-
plying to a reporters questions as to
whether his nomination was a surprise or
not. said:
Il assure you that bad no expectation
of being nominated. When l was APP
prised of the fact last night it was very
much OF surprise. / should like to say
just here that as l occupy a secondary
position on the ticket, it therefore becomes
me to take secondary position In the
matter of interviews"
What, in your opinion, will be Mr..
Blaine's attitude in the coming cam
paign?"
"Oh, Blaine is all right Mr.. Blaine is a
republican, and as such his attitude will
he one Of cordial support to the republican
ticket"
who will be the republican leader in
New York ?"
There you have me. know abso-
lutely nothing concerning that"
"How about Mr. Platt?"
81 never knew of any real difference be-
tween Mr.. Plat and the administration,
and as Mr.. Plat is O republican bred in
the bone, 1 think my answer concerning
Mr.. Blaine's loyalty applies to Mr.. Platt's
case"
Shall you enter actively into this cam
paign, Mr.. Reid ?"
mo, shall not 20 into the campaign to
any great extent, but will confine myself
to work in New York. My throat troubles
me, and on that account it will be impos-
sible for me to DO very much speaking.
My voice gives ont very easily"
All this time Mr.. Reid was busy receiv-
ing congratulatory messages over the tele-
phone and opening the numerous tele-
grams OF the same nature, In bidding the
reporter good-by Mr.. Reid said:

US, but we shall make an honest and l
hope successful endeavor to win"

also remarkable because of the fact
that there was nothing OF bitterness,

MINNEAPOLIS, June 1.-THE echoes of

of the first to announce mis- devotion to the
nominees OF tie republican party, and his
belief that they were not doomed to defeat
in November.
The events of the week have shown how
futile, after all, is the power Of self-con-
stituted leadership among the rank and
file of the delegates. In many instances
was this demonstrated by the sudden
breaks that occurred in those delegations
which the managers OF one side or the
other supposed were docile to their leader
ship. When the contest reached it's criti-
cal stage the delegates evinced a sudden
desire 10 act on their own responsibility
and the persuasions of the leaders were
sin0ularly ineffective to change their in
tentions.

Graphic as are the correspondents their

The distress there is widespread. Hundreds of

LONDON, June 1.-THE burden of the
comments of all the evening papers on the
denomination oil President Harrison and
the selection of Mr.. Reid as the repub-
lican candidate for vice-president is Joy
over the defeat of Mr.. Blaine.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: Even those
least in sympathy with Mr.. Blame as
politician may spare passing regret at
the cruel disappointment OF the man who
is the aDlest republican and most astute
politician in the United States"
The Globe says: "For once the Amer
lean caucus was of real interest to out
siders and especially to England. In view
of the dissension in the democratic party
the nominee of yesterday glands a good
chance OF being the next president. IL
was a happy thing that the caucus de-
cided Overwhelmingly against the great
wire-puller, whose entire career has been
marked with attempts to make party cap
ital out of foreign politics" The Globe
then relates at length Mr.. Blaine's acts of
hostility toward England, as shown in the
Gillian affair, the Boring sea question,
the Newfoundland matter, etc., and adds:
Even as it was, President Harrison some
times had difficult task to check the mis-
chief"
The Star publishes a most violent attack
on Mr.. Blaine on account Of his protection
principles, and sums up its estimate of
President Harrison's qualifications by de-
claring that he is quiet, unassuminV old
gentleman of great personal integrity, but
without great ability. 1t then predicts the
nomination of Mr.. Cleveland by the dem
ocrats. and concludes by SAYING: The
sympathies of all free traders and liberals
should be With the champion of reform,
