H. B. Claflin Cannot Vote for Blaine.
Horace B. Claflin, the great New York dry goods prince, in a recent interview declared that, while he had not made up his mind to vote for Cleveland, Butler, or St. John, he positively would not and could not vote for such a man as James G. Blaine. When asked to give his reasons he said: “1 prefer not to do so. I think it must be apparent to every one why Ido not. I le ve you to draw your own conclusions when I say thnt I will not vote for Blaine."
