WHAT THEY THINK.
REPUBLICANs TALK ABOUT JIM
cos RESIGNATION.
1t Means, They Think, War with Hnr-
rison-some Attempt at a whoop up
which Did Not Materialixe.

The news of Secretary Blaine's resig
nation caused considerable interest
among Republicans yesterday. An at.
temptwas made last night to get up a
Blaine enthuse, but it failed. These
Blaine men, with pampas plumes stuck
in high white hats, band compos ed
of q big drum, little drum and fife
pranced about the streets for awhile
and few fire crackers were exploded
and then the affair faded away.
The following are some expressions ol
opinion gathered last evening from
members OF &. 0. p. on the matter:
L. F. Vetter-I think that Blaine il
in it.
]. NJ. Meredith-The resignation Of
Blaine means his nomination and be is
sure winner.
P. M. Darcey-We have got to have
Blaine to catch the Irish vote. Blaine
was the first man to give an Irishman q
cabinet position. / refer to Patrick
Egan. &
City Attorney McFarland-I think
that Blaine is in the field too late.
w. M. Edwards-It means that Blaine
will be nominated by acclamation.
Mayor H. T. Hazard-I think the
resignation means the nomination ol
Blaine and with much enthusiasm) his
election.
County Recorder Kelly-It indicates
beyond any doubt that Blaine has cut
loose from Harrison and there is fight
in prospect.
DR.. Granville MacGowan-Blaine's
resignation means that the wishes oI
the young element in Republicanism
will not he ignored now at Minneapolis.
Blaine will get the nomination, and he
will be elected. too!
Walter F. X. Parker, deputy county
recorder and secretary of the Republican
central county committee-Blaine's res.
signation shows that he is right in the
fight. He surely would not have re.
signed if he was not certain OF getting
the nomination, and under the circum.
stances it was the best thing for him to
do.
General Mansfield-It shows a fight
that's all you can get out of me.
Ex-Postmaster Shoulters-It means
Blaine has jumped into the fight. but !
don't think it will strengthen him bit.
Ex-Governor ]. j. Gosper-I don't
think it means Blaine's nomination.
1t is too late in the day for him to &C
cept. An undertow will set in next
week which will take him away from it.
l am great admirer of Mr.. Blaine, but
he will not get the nomination.
Police Clerk Cottell-I am tickled by
the news. have wagered that Harri-
son would not be nominated, and now
think Blaine will be the man. The
ticket that will get there is Blaine and
Alger.
W. P. Hamilton The resignation
means Blaine, Blaine, Blaine.
Mr.. Kinsey, who had big roll of
bunting under his arm-It means Blaine
will be the nominee, and then that he
will be elected.
Z. w. Fortune-I tell you they have
made it so uncomfortable for Blaine in
the cabinet that he has pulled out OF it
Blaine is "bigger" than the whole cabi
net. He will be nominated.
Chief of Police Glass-Blaine's resig
nation means that he is candidate
and it looks as if he would receive the
nomination.
Robert HI. F. Variel, Esq The resig
nation of Mr.. Blaine as secretary ol
state means that he is candidate fol
the presidency of the United States
There can be no other explanation, and
Blaine will surely be nominated at Min
neapolis.
Judge William P. Wade, of the su
perior court. who was present, agreed
entirely with Mr.. Variel, adding, how.
ever, that Blaine should have resigned
sooner. she did not want the nomina-
ton as he was tired of running for presi.
dent, but had been dragged into the
race again by his friends, as I under.
stand it."
