TO learn precisely whore Mr.. Blaine stood regarding

10 find out Mr.. lIus'cd visited MI blaine ana

OF n President, which. you know. are unre-
m,,ting President has no deputy AXE any other
officer OF our Government. The strain upon him Is
constant
Mr. Hustled returned to me with this news ana
therefore decided that Mr.. Bnlne did not desire the
nomination. When Mr.. Blaine was In New YORK last
week. visited him and had free chat of about an
hour and n half upon political subjects. one part OF
that conversation can disclose without revealing any
confidence. | said to Mr.. Blaine You know that
have always been your friend and admired greatly
Your political record and career. Permit me u say
that II you nrc a candidate. n' one Of New iorks
Delegates at large will do all that l can TO obtain
your nomination. It is true that have said that
should glvc nv support to MIR Harrison. but have
not given n pledge OF that kind To him and can
without any charge Of d,loyaty to him declare now
that favor your nomination..
4" Mr. Blaine mad" reply 10 this statement Of mine,
leaving me to infer that he was not candidate
ard the subject dlsagcenble 10 him In view Of his
letter las, February declaring that his name should
not be presented to the convention. II he were II
candidate lie would rendiy to an old and faith
+ frind like myself; and yet these men who were
all his opponents local conflicts that he
privately told them that he candidate ! can
not believe thnt he has ever mndc that statement.
There Is no doubt Mr.. Blaine IS opposed 10 Mr. liar
risen and opposed his nomination, but beyond that
point do not believe he has gone. and yet think
his name will not 60 before the Republican National
Convention"
Mr. Depew has received during the dav a number
Of messages from New York CITY and state .ncourag
Ing him In his attitude In standing firm In his support
OF President Harrison. one Of these from
sgourncy Fay, the former secretary Of the Union
League Cub. Of New York. saving that majority
OF the cub sill adhered 10 Mr. Harrison. dIspach
also received by him from the Young Mems
Republcan club Of Rochester. urging him To do all
that he could In the interest Of Mr.. Iinrrlsons
rcnompation.
Mr. Depcw said 10 day that he had been Informed
BY one Of Mr.. Elalne's supporters that their highest
claim gave MIR. Blaine only about fifty majority and
some of his friends doubtful whether Mr.
Blaine would accept II there close q division
Of the vote Of the convention.

General Aleer. also personal friend OF ex-senator
