NEw-YoRK DELEGATES ON THE GROUND
The New-York delegates on the ground werd
headed by Senator Ilscock, who arrived shortly

and Edward c. O'Brien, Of the

Senator Hscock appeared in the libby Of the
West Hotel for half an hour or longer. and talked
freely in favor of the denomination Of Presideno
Harrison. When asked by The Tribune corre-
spOndent to say what he thought would be tho
outcome of the convention, he replied:
81 think that the action of the convention
should be and will be to sustain the present Ad-
mnistraton. On the record of the last four
years President Harrison clearly deserves re-
nomination. Mr.. Blaine, of course. could
have had the nomination this year if he
had been in any legitimate sense Q
candidate. lie is the most popular of Republic
can leaders, but he has written letter Of de,
clinaton which can have but one Interpretation.
On that Interpretation of his wishes and inten'
tons the delegates to this convention were
chosen, and it is entirely unjust to them to ask
them now, some party leaders are DOING to
find a new meaning in Mr.. BaiDe's plain and
definite withdrawal from the list Of possible
candidates. The delegates should not be placed
in such false position, nor do l think the good
sense of the convention will submit TO It, view.

denomination to the President. II is Of great
importance that q nomination should be made

good feeling and unanimity. If the opponents Of
President Harrison persist in making Mr.. Blaine
a candidate against his wishes the good effect Of
such harmonious action will be lost. look
and hope for prompt and cordial
Endorsement Of the brilliant and effective ad.

lar, Mr. Clrter said:

Why do You as a Southern man feel so earnese

I'VE of the South demand personal and political
liberty. We want free ballot and fair
cunt We think that President Harrison has
shown himself more clearly our friend than any

ill but we feel that IIarrison's
record and attitude on behalf Of

him to our support. We are willing TO give
him another term. If Blaine ever intended to
re candidate or expected TO be nominated by
