A VOK'R PROM KANSAS.

Representative I). OL Haskell is vice-president forKansas. He said he Was foi Ullin.* beeaooe hethought the drift of public sentiment in his BtatOwas that way. " For myself," ho said, "I am tor

tbe nominee of tho Convention. I don't knoxvwhether Maine ia the strongest candidatebefore the people or not. I didn't knowonythinc about this Maine Club; 1 was not lherewhen itXirganized, aud, though I tare no obj,ct nmto having my name on the, list of vice-president-, Imust say that I have little faith in clubs of thiskind. I don't belier* that they da muchgood. Blaine is a good man, but wo have a BOSt ofgood men, like barfield, Washbnnie and a scon ifothers. Sherman u a very good mau, and un aideone, well worthy the office. I nave no decided per-ooual preference. If Mauro is possessed ofIhe requisite amount of backing ho will bi*a magnificent caudidute.

with the ai.i of tlie party machinery of the State.Mr. Reed BB70 tbat Ibo (irant boom has h. ea mis¬
