of both Mr Arthur and Mr That there shall bo no question about thU hereafter both these men requeued to their attitude compiled in writing aa Mr Roosevelt I am unqualifiedly and absolutely opposed to tho nomination of Mr Arthur I do not he could possibly carry If Mr Edmunds la not nominated thon some mau Hawley Harrison or Lincoln should DC On no account whatever should wo fate Mr Arthur or Mr Tho result of tho Convention cannot bo regarded as In any a for Mr Arthur it wman out defeat for both him and Mr We tho who havo no leanings ever toward either of thoso two candidates nominated a straight-out ticket thought would best represent tho best nnd most advanced Republican sentiment Uc stood steadily by our ticket nnd of the two machines tho weakest went with us In ence to seeing the other win Senator Gilbert I think It to nominate either or Aithur Edmunds to mo on tho wholo tho best man both oa u candidate arid ta a President to bo ut Chicago Neither nor Arthur is my second choice I think It wiser to or John Sherman or perhaps Lincoln in case bo nominated I want tho candidate to bo a statesman proved to be such and ono who will aid most effectively In holding on to what Is good ana in attaining to what iy better I go to Chicago to ray matu rest Judgment after all developments have been made and tion had man should bo nominated who Ls not In sympathy with the aspirations of tho people toward better methods of administration State and municipal No mun should be nominated who does not deserve nnd command the confidence of tho public Thero must be no backward step The Nation should all tho while bo in favor of reform The candidate to bo chosen should bo able to comprehend and wisely guide all reformatory tendencies of the Nation I am much more anxious that these public Interests bo than that any particular mun should bo named Tho In- and effort of every delegate bo di- with on cyo single to that public result At continued Mr I to all with whom I on tho subject that I thought It to nominate cither Arthur or and that I favored tho nomination of Edmunds if Edmunds could not bo mted I was Inclined to favor Gresham or Gen or John Sherman or perhaps

that the desire to nominate a New-York mnn who stands In relations with tho pendent voters and whose would not re- quire factional discord la very general Arthur being nnd none of the other active
