Views OF Representative Republicans ON the
Presidential Nomination.
Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The Hon. B. F.
Jones, of Pittsburg. ex-chairmsn of the
Republican national executive committee,
is here and makes these observations: II
do not hesitate to say that l think Mr..
Harrison will be renominated and that the
outlook for his election is a bright one and
daily growing brighter. AS to the Demo-
Gratis nomination / can only make q guess.
/ think it will be Cleveland. The chief is
sues in the campaign will be protection and
sound money, so far as the Republicans are
concerned. and the Democrats will oppose
both of them"
Representative Pickler. of South Da-
kota. SAID, to-day, in discussing the presi-
Dental outlook: South Dakota will again
be for the nomination of President Harri-
son. You will remember that We voted
solldly for him at last in the convention In
1888. There il strong Blaine element In
South Dakota but since Mr.. Blaine has re-
tired from the field of presidential possi-
bilitles. South Dakota will undoubtedly be
solid for the Indiana man from first to last
/ believe that General Harrison will be re-
nominated by reclamation and reelected
by as large majority as be had in 1888"
who Is hero. says: Iowa has always been
very strongly attached to Mr.. Blaine.
The State supported Senator Allison as
presidential candidate in 1888, but with
that exception the sentiment has for years
been in favor of Mr. Blaine. Now that he
is not candidate, recognizing as they do
that Mr.. Harrison has given the country an
admirable administration, he will receive
the support OF the State in the Minneapolis
convention. Governor Boies will, in my
opinion. receive the support of the Iowa
delegation in the Democratic convention,
and deem him much more available presi-
Dental timber than o number OF others
whose names are mentioned In that con-
nectIon. The fact that he has twice been
elected Governor ofIowa. together with the
further fact that he is man of ability.
will arrest the attention and receive con-
sideratiOn from many delegates.
Mr.. Estee Says Caiifornia Is for Harrison.
NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Morris NJ. Estee. Of
California, who is at the Fifth-avenue
Hotel, was asked yesterday by o Times
reporter if his State would send Harrison
delegation to the national Republican con-
vention. he said that. although he had
not been in California since Mr.. Blaine's
letter was published, he thought that with
Mr.. Blaine out of the question the Repub.
licans of the State were for Harrison.
HAS Alger any supportsrsp Mr.. Estee
was asked.
'Yes. Alger is very popular on the coast"
he answered. "He has large property in
terests in Humboldt county and is person.
ally known to many of the prominent men
in the party. He would have something Of
O following If his friends attempted to
work up O boom for him as a candidate"
do you believe Blaine's letter was in
tended to be fDaiV
Yes; not only believe. but know it."
he replied. The letter was intended to
settle tho question. 1t is a delicate thing
for any man to refuse something which 10
not offered to him. No other man in the
country could have written q letter of that
sort. Mr.. Blaine could not do it if he in
tended ir for anything short of what it
appears to be on it's face. He could gain
nothing by misrepr esenting his position
before the people"
