Keyes hero showed the reporter a press despatch to an I
afternoon i<a|KT, staling that Blame had made a per- !
sonal explanation on tho Ooor of tho House, and read ;
ibe letters taken from Mr. Mulligan, and lie expressed !
bis satisfaction with Huh intelligence and his contiuuod
confidence in Biatne.) lie further Mid: '"1 cannot tell
what my second choice will be until wc have been to
Cinciunnti, and the delegates have conferred together.
1 am lor ir.e best man, and think Blaine, standing
fairly ami squarely, is the strongest and best man.
Notliitu can be saidabout second cboico till we bave
wet at Cine unati A* to Wash burnt?, I decline to say
anything at present. I go for Illaine because I think
be is the best man of the lot. He will enthuse the re
publican party more than any other tuun; and I believe
bim 10 he the undoubted choice of a large portion of
tho republican party in this State. I don't say that I
am for Itristow for Vice-President; the person I will
support for Vtcc President will depend very much on
toe nomination lor President.
Jamkm T. Lkwih, Columbus (ex-Governor), farmer
It Kevins to me, judging Irom conversations with per
sons generally pretty well posted, aud representing
various views, that republican opln on in this State
favors the nomination ol Mr. lHaine. I do not at pres
ent say he is my chotco, but that ho appears the choice
?f the majority of the party in Wisconsin. I do not
say, cither, that he Is tho best man. 1 wish to state
that I am not pledged to any candidate, and I desire to
be tree until 1 can survey the ground lor myselt. 1
will go s<> lar as to stale my present impressious sre In
fevor of Blaine. The views of all of us, however, miy
rssibly change after we bavo arrived at Cinclunatl.
think Conkling aud Bluine are probably the best
candidates. It is impossible to state llrst and second
choice muter iho cirriiinstaurcp. 1 think possibly that
Bristow's locality is against him; that sceins to be the
general impression, and 1 siuiplv repeat what I hear.
1 am not well posted; perhaps not so well as yoniselC
Still 1 am, as at present advised. favorable to Blaine.
Conkling 1 regard as a statesman and a great man.
There may be other candidates worih supporting,
Bialne, it is generally believed, will create more enthu
siasm in tho Wosi th m any other candidate.
THIRD DISTRICT.
F.rHitAiK Bowkk, BrAdhead, banker and retired
lumberman?Until within the past lew days 1 was a
Blaine man. Since the Mulligan matter I have not
been clear what courso ought to be pursued. Blaine
is still my Qrst choice, provided he clears himself, and
I have a good deal of laith that he will. Under such
circumstances I have no second choice. 1 shall bo
guided by events. My support will he given to men
who will command the strongest support. Bristow
bns shown be has backbone but ho does not appear so
strong in the West as he once seemed likely to become,
lie might strengthen tho ticket if nominated lor Vice
President. Coukling is a good tnati and a statesman,
bull do not think he is strong in ibe West or would
dra w out the lull republican vote. 1 think well ot
Wheeler, of New York, whom I once met. 1 look on
biin as a sound man with a tlcitr record, but I do not
know if he has any show or that be thinks of such a
thing. Tho Ulaine investigation, in my opinion,
worked weil In his favor till this Mulligan matter. 1
think Blaine did right to retain his private li tters.
Tho Mulligan matter may or may not injure Blaine;
nniil the result I can say nothing. 1 atn undecided,
tl Blaine clears his record be will bring out a heavy
rote. Tho peoplo will sympathize with him. Ho ap
pears to bavo beon mado tlie object of a systematic
plan ol persecution. I think that tho general impres
sion at the West Is that this persecution of Blaino is
Instigated by the friends of Morton, and perhaps Conk
ling. (The reporterquestionod Mr. Bowen closely from
?very concolvablo poiut of view, as to his llrst mid sec
ond choice under all kinds of supposititious circuin
nances, but was uuable to get any nearer than the
auovo general statement of his views.)
Wii.uax H. Bkisbank, Arena?Tho journey in search
of Mr. Brisbane was fruitless; he had several davs be
fore left lor the East. His sentiments hud been freely
expressed, however, to his neighbors, and were
strongly for B nine. Ho bad told several neighbors
that Blaine was Ills choice, aud recont developments
bad not affected his resolution, except to render him
cautious in expressing approval of one man more than
another. He is understood generally to be willing to
support any candidate likely to strengthen tho party In
the coming contest. He has not named his secoud
choice, and is not bi lieved to bavo any, desiring to be
governed by events at Cincinnati and the sentiments
pi ills fellow uoiogatof.
FOURTH DISTRICT.
Edwakd Sandkhsu.n. miller, Milwaukee?It Is a
auction or work. The republicans can carry the elec
tion with either Conkitng, i.laino or Brisiow, but llris
low would bo the easiest lo elect, and I am to a certain
extent a Brl-tow man lor tliat reason, all bough I go to
the Convention uuletiercd, unci prepared to act accord
Inn to what I may seo and bear there. Blaino would be
a harder man to elect than Brlstow, who 111 my Judg
ment would go in with a rush. Conkling would be still
harder. There seems to be.a great and growing senti
ment in this cily and county in lavor ol Blaine, and ir
1 Qnd that to go on increasing 1 am not I he man to lly
In tho race ol all my constituents aud follow delegates
and bo tho only man in the crowd to vote lor Brlstow.
I feel it is a questlou of party and policy, not of men,
and I will support the best man. whoever ho is?tbo
man most likely to briug out ihe foil republican vote.
Irvinu M. Bban, Collector of Internal Kevcnue, Mil
waukee?II my vote would elect the 1'rcsident. I should
Klve It to James G. Blaine; but, as it won't, I will sup
port the man most likely 10 strengthen the party. I
think Blaine, Bristow and Conkling arc tho strongest
men In the party. 1 shall do what 1 can tn a propor
wav ror Brisiow, as I think ho is most likely to be
elected As collector my motives might be ?ubJoctc!l
to hostile criticism ir I were to tako an active part in
the contest. Heel that Bnstow is the strongest man,
and If nothing intervenes, shall give hltn my voto.
' rirTH DISTRICT.
Cal E. Lbwib, woolleu manufacturer. Beaver Dam?
v. first choice is Blaine. My man has been under a
cloud, bat I havo always had faith he would come out
all riaht. 1 think be is tbo be.t man, and that ho will
be tho choice ol tho party. K anything occur, to pro
vent my giving him my support 1 shall vote only lor
inch a man as 1 think will bo sura to receive tho
Strongest support. I have not made a second choice,
"over having thought H necessary, and considering
Blaine certaiu or the nomination.
J H Mkad, Shebiiygati, banker?Our people are
unity equally divided between Blaine and Brlstow and
although I was not personally pledged to Bristow I
mav vote for him in obod.ence to a resolution passed
at a caucus ol our delegates to-night. The Germans
are generally in lavor ol Bristow, whom they do not
regard as a politician.
SIXTH DISTRICT.
Gkorok Grimmkr, Kuwaunco, lumberman?I am ror
? Blaine llrst choice, out do not desire at present to statu
my second clioico. I think It a matter of policy not to
make auv statement on that point now, as allairs may
bo complicated at Cinclunati by such .teclaiaiions. I do
not object to state that 1 look upon Blaine aud Bristow
as tho people's candidates. Conkling I regard, to somo
extent as a politician. I have much the same view as
to tho other candidates I have heard mentioned. I nm
not a politician mysell and do not desiro to say any
thing that may bo construed into pledging me U) vole
lor any one. Although 1 have said Blaino and Bristow
aio in ray optniou, the peoplo's candidatos. yet you
are not to understand that Bristow is my sccob.I
choice. Those are the two candidates whom 1 regard
personally with most lavor, but which of tho two will
he mr first choice and whether I should aban
don him lor the other or lor some one else are
matters 1 cannol Anally pass upon hero. In further
conversation the delegate state.! indirectly, while still
relusinu to do so In so many words, that Blaino might
be considered his choice until Itbocomes demonstrated
he cannot bo nominated, when ho should go lor Brls
*?u' L. Pottsr, lawyer, Wautoma. author or the Potter
law?My choice at first was Blaine, but 1 must con
ies* that recent occurrences have shaken my confi
dence soinowhai, and I must know more before saying
he is Hill my first choice. II Blaine turns out all right
Bristow or Washhurno would be my second choice. 1
would have no objection to ino nomination or Conk
line. I think he is a sound, consistent republican, and
should not bo greatly disappointed il ho were to take a
ttrsi position. I do not want merely a man who Is
likely to be a strong candidate, but a iimii who has a
?ood record, one who will not bo obliged lo siand up
the whole lime defending himseir against charges.
SBVRVril DISTRICT.
John Comstock. Hudson, bunker?What I have to
sav is very brier. My first choice Is Blaine, aud my
second, not altogether on personal giounds, but at tbo
desire of my constituents, is Brlstow. (I anything
should happen that Blaine is not nominated 1 suppose
1 should go ror Bristow. This, however, is in the event
or nothing unforeseen occurring. Thoro was a lira"
when, I must admit, 1 thought Blaine was out of tho
field- but circumstances have cleared up the dllhculiy,

Conkling.
Jons T. Sto.vb, of Glen wood, lawyer?My first
choice is Blaine. I have uo second choice yet, but
think well of Conklmg.
George D. Parkins, editor, is for Miami it It will not
place the parly ou the dolensive. For explanations
wiiich now appear possible Bristow would be next in
influence to arouse Wcsie. n enthusiasm. Ho thinks
the Vice Presidency wilt be gifou to one of tho doubt
ful States. He would like Wright or MoCrary, ol Iowa,
if consistont with the general programme.
Hiit.ix Pricb, formerly member of Congress for
three term?Iain in favor of Blaine's nomination. I
hare been In Congress with him, and know him Inti
mately. the recent attacks of Mulligan and othors
upon his charactcr do not affect mo In the least.
Knowing the gentleman, as 1 do, personally, I consider
it im|iosKible that he would bo guilty of anything dis
honorable. He has made a splendid public rccord bo
fore the country, and 1 do noi see anything to prevent
Mr. Blaine's nomination lor the I'resldenev. We wll
have considerable trouble to win the light. We may put
down nearly all tho Southern Slates >>n the democratic
sido, as they will do any thing to doleat the republican
party. As to second choice, 1 am divided betweeu
Messrs. Conklmg and Bristow. The former is a man of
great ability, and I nave no doubt would till the Presi
dential chair with KMtislaction to tho people. Mr prof
erenco, however, in ibis connection must bo determined
upon iny arrival at Cincinnati.
KIKST DISTRICT.
Frank Hattoh, of Burlington, editor of the Hawk

would bo a strong man.
J. N. Brush, banker?I believe Blaino is tho people's

TBI DELEGATION FOR BLAISE, DVT ATTEBWARD
FOB BBI8TOW OB CONKLING.
I.EAVKXWOKTK, June 7, 1978.
The republicans have held thoir Stato Convention at
Topeka and elected their delegate* to the National Con
vention. Your corresponds has taken pains to ascer
tain the views ol the gcntlemeu ciiosou regarding their
preferences for tho Presidency, and lluds iliat a majority
will vote solid lor Blaine as their first choice, when, if
it should appear that Mr. Blaine has not sufficient
strength to secure the nomination, seven of tho ten
will cast their ballots for Mr. Bristow.
One of the delegates, Mr. O. U. Siikldor, of Bur
llngame, raid that some of tho delegation prefer Bris
tow to Blaine, but be will vote lor tho latter to piease
their frlenda
In speaking with ex-Congressman O. P. Lows, also a
delegato and for a short time Chief Juslico of the Ter
ritory of Utah, as successor to Judge McKean, tbat
gentleman remarked that "under existing circum
stances 1 am for Blaine, with no detinue views as to
second or third choice."
A. L. Kkddix, of Butler county, says tbat a ticket
coiuposcd of both Blaine and Bristofr would command
his support and bo enthusiastically recoivod by tho
people ol Knox a*.
Judge A. H. Burton, of Atchison, also thinks this
ticket would v In, being preferable to any other.
F. M. Shaw, of Paola, banker, a leading republican
delegate, thinks that the sentiment ol tho people of
Kansas is J. G. Blaiue tor Prevident, with Bristow oh
second choice, and it the Great Unknown should receive
the nomination he could rely upon a large majority in
tne repubiioan Slate ?!' Kansas.
A. J. Bamta, of Bcloit, says that his first choice Is
Blaine, with no definite views as to a second or third
choice.
P. D. TiiAcnsK, editor of the Lawrence Journal, will
on the first ballot vote lor Blame, but after thai will
give the statesman from Maine ouly a lukewarm sup
port.
CVKi-a Lklasd, of Troy, fpr tho sake of preserving
unity and harmony in tho delegation, says he will vote
upon the first bellot for Blaine.
' jill of the republican delegates deny tho statement
telegraphed ovor the country by the Associated Press
agent to the etreoi that Mr. J. J. Ingalls, United Htales
Senator from Kansas, Is their first choico lor ibe Vice
Presidency, and that, while recognizing in mm an able
and useful member of the Senate, ibcy fegard his cau
didacv for tho second place upon tho republican Presi
dential ticket as a larcc. Judge T. C. Sears, of Ottawa,
inclines to Blaine aud Huycs, being ihc only dclogale
who has meutinnod the name of the lattor gentleman.
From the general tenor ol the remarks made by tne
different gentlemen composing the republican delega
tion your correspondent is led to believe that In the
event of both Blaine and Bristow falling to be nomi
nated tho Kansas delegates will uuile upon either

UNWRITTEN HISTORY.

WEED.
Likhrtt Hall, J
CRAWronuviM.R, Ga., Juno 0, 1870. )
To trr Editor or thk Hsrald:?
I bavo noticed, in a late issue of your paper, an ar
ticle by Hon. Tburlow Weed, entitled "An Unwrttton
Chapter of History," in which Mr. Weed gives a
"narrativ? of how the Hkrald's influence was obtained
for President Lincoln's administration." Alter re
lating the incidonts which preceded his arrival at Mr.
Bennett's mansion oa the Holghts, the following sen
tences occur:?
"Wo then walked for halt an hour aronnd the
grounds, when a servant came and announ9cd
dinner. The dinnor was a frugal one, dur
ing which, until the fruit wis served, wo
held general conversation. I then frankly Informed
him of the object of my visit, closing with tho remark
tnat Mr. Lincoln dcomed It morn important to secure
the Herai.d's support than to obtain a victory in ihe
Hold. Mr. Bennett replied that tho abolitionist!), aided
by whig members ot Congress, had provoked a war, of
the danger ot which be had been warning the country
for yearn, and that now, when they were reaping what
they bad sown, tbey had no right to call upon him to
help them ont of a difficulty that thiy had deliberately
brought upon themselves.
"1 listenod without interruption for ten minutes to a
hitter denunciation ol Greeley, Garrison, Seward, Sum
ner, Guldings, Phillips and myself, as having, by Irri
tating and exasperating the Sonth, brought the war
upon the country. I then, In reply, without denying
or attempting to explain any ol his positions, stated
the whole question from our standpoint. I informed
him of lacts and circumstances within my
own knowledge showing conclusively the deliberate
dvsigu of severing the Union to prevent Ca iforma
from coming Into tho Union as a freo
State. / gave him the then unknot on particulars of an
interview of Messrs. Toombs, Stephens and Clingman,
members of Congress from Georgia and A'orth Carolina,
with General Taylor. The object of that interview was
to induce General Taylor, a Southern man and slave
holder, to veto the bill permitting California to enter the
Union as a free State. It was a stormy interview, with
threats of disunion on one hand and of hanging on the
other. The facts were communicated to Senator Hamlin,
of Maine, and myself within ten minutes ajter the inter
view closed."
1 put the last part of this extract In Italics. It Is the
only matter in Ibis "chapter of history" that 1 wish
at ibis time to notice; and the only notice I wish to
take of it Is to assure Mr. Wood and all your readers
thai no such interview of Messrs. Toombs, Clingman
and myself ever took place with General Taylor. How
he and Mr. Hamlin conld have been Informed within
ten minutes after of the particulars of an interview
which never occurred 1 do not kuow; but I do know I
nover asked General Taylor to veto any Dill whatevor
during bis administration. I know also, and
the records show It, that the bill permitting California
to eoter tho Union as a free State did not pass Congress
until after General Taylor's death; I do, moreover,
know that I and my colleague, Mr. Toombs, favored
the admission ol California as a free State under her
then constitution during tho wbolo of that stormy ses
sion. This the records will also show. Wo never
raised an objoctlon to iho admission of California on
account of her anti-slavery constitution. In one of tho
stormiest debates I ever heard in tho Houso of Repre
sentatives my colleaguo, Mr. Toombs, said:?"Wo
do not oppose California on account of the anti-slavery
clause in her constitution. It was her right, and
I am not prepared t? say that she acted unwisely in
Its exercise; that is ber business." What he and I
maintained was that the samo rights which the free
people of California had oxcrcised for themselves In
forming their constitution should be equally sccurod to
the free people of other Territories of the United 8tates
when they came to form their constitutions.
How far this portion of Mr. feed's narrative may
have influenced tho course of the Hrrald toward Mr
Lincoln's administration I know not, but 1 do most sol
emnly protest against its being received as a correct
item in the history of this country.
