presidential situation, in which Mr..
Clarkson says he favors the nomination
of the man who can unite all the ele-

said, had about 300 pledged votes, but
the eothcr600 are substantially unpledged.
When asked about Blaine General Clark
son replied: "Oh he's all right, as you
will find by asking the 1000 600 Repub-

would select another man than either
Harrison or Blaine for president, but all
Republicans should give up personal
friendship for party interests.
