Chicago, May 19. A clear cut and significant expression on the po litical situation was given utterance here tonight by Chairman J. S. Clarkson, of the Republican national committee. Mr. Clarkson, who is fully restored to health, is on his way to New York from Hot Spring. To a number of newspaper men who called on him at the Grand Pacific hotel he said: "The seven millions of Republicans who will be represent ed at Minneapolis have not made up their minds regarding their candi date. The result of the conventions held in the different states clearly shows this. There will be more un- instructed delegates at the Minneap- - . - - " - - known in the history of the Republi can party. The northern states and the states which cast the electoral votes which will elect have almost nil sentuninstructed delegates. A major ity of the instructed delegates come from the southern states. Some of the able editors and federal office holders claim the nomination settled already. I certainly do not think so, but as for being a party to any con spiracy in favor of the nomination of Blaine, Sherman or Harrison, I desire to enter a protest. There seems to have been considerable ill feeling manifested of late regarding the nomination. I will keep out of the contest and cast my vote for whomever I shall determine to be the winner." "Then you don't think Mr. Harri son will bo nominated on the first ballot?" "Now you can't draw me out as to whom I think will be nominated. Without much doubt there will be several ballots cast The man must be very popular who would secure tlm nomination on the first bauot when such a largo proportion of the delegates are uniustructed."
