A Conference OF the Secretary's
Friends Held at a Chicago
Hotel.
Their Plan OF Campaign at the
Minneapolis Convention
Outlined.
J. Sloat Fassett Says Blaine's
Next Letter Will Be an
Acceptance.
Hotel.

CHICAGO, June 1.-"Mr. Blaine will
not write another letter." said National
Committeeman A. L. Conger, of Ohio,
during the morning. He is in Chicago
en- route to Minneapolis and stopped over
day to break the journey. Either
Mr.. Blaine or the president will be NOM
mated" continued Mr. Conger, "and 1
am satisfied Mr.. Blaine will be the man.
The country wants Mr.. Blaine and his
reciprocity plan which has made him so
deservedly popular"
Mr.. Conger laughed to scorn the claim
of the Harrisonites that the president
has 693 delegates pledged to him. Mr..
Conger believes there is no doubt that
Blaine will accept and in any event some
Of his friends will know his intentions
before the convention meets.
Mr.. Conger held conference with
J. S. Clarkson, j. Sloat Fassett,
Henry G. Payne, of Wisconsin, National
Committeeman Hobart, of Michigan, and
other Blaine leaders during the evening,
at the Grand Pacific, and there is little
doubt that this meeting outlined the
plan of campaign at Minneapolis.
The Conference.
General Clarkson's party arrived at
the Grand Pacific at $50. The rotunda
was thronged with Blaine enthusiasts.
Several adjoining rooms on the parlor
floor were assigned them and in one of
them Mr.. Clarkson at once locked him
self and the following committeeman:
Hyde of Massachusetts,, Conger of Ohio,
Paine of Massachusetts,, and Sanborne of
Michigan. Congressman F. Allen, the
Michigan Alger advocate, was admitted
shortly after. During the entire hour
and a half in which this conference
lasted two typewriters were kept in con-
slant use in an adjoining room. The
presence of Mr.. Allen at the conference
gave rise to the rumor that final ar
rangements were being made for the
springing of the Blaine-Alger ticket.
Mr.. Allen is not delegate to the con-
vention and his presence in Chicago was
explained by shrewd guessers on the
ground that he came to confer in the in
terest of General Alger.
At the conclusion of the conference
all present denied that anything had
been done except to arrange for the trip
to Minneapolis. j. Sloat Fassett said:
Il am for Blaine and believe he will be
nominated. The second name on the
ticket will be that of Western man and
q soldier. New York is for Blaine"
"Can you carry it if Harrison is the
nominee?"
"Well, I will not answer questions
categorically. 1 will only say that with
Blaine we can certainly carry it."
as there any possibility that Blaine
will issue another letter similar to his
last public one to Mr.. Clarkson?"
Frankly think stationery is scarce in
the Blaine residence at present. Mr..
Blaine's next letter will be one of accept
ance."
Mr.. Clarkson smilingly offered to
guarantee all that Mr.. Fassett had said.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Representa-

McKinley's Secretary Talks.

COLUMBUS, O., June 1.-Governor
McKinley's private secretary, James
Boyle, was shown the dispatch from
GAINESVILLE, stating that Governor Nc
Kinley had pronounced for Mr.. Blaine.
Mr.. Boyle said: 81 know that the. gov
ernor intends to vote for Harrison, and
that he fully believes the president will
be nominated. While no man in the
country has greater admiration for Mr..
Blaine than Governor Mckinley, he
feels that Mr.. Blaine cannot afford to
let his name go before the convention,
and will not do So"
