On the other hand, some members of the Sherman campaign were disappointed by Garfield's speech. One telegram from a Sherman backer sent to Sherman himself claimed that, "has been of no service to you...he was extremely lukewarm in his support." Rumors began to spread that Ohio Governor Charles Foster and Garfield, who were in adjoining suites at the Grand Pacific Hotel, were "conspiring to bring Garfield out as [a candidate..." News of the finger-pointing within the Sherman camp had carried into newspapers across the country. The "Albany Evening Journal" reported that "here is a general belief that the Ohio delegation is ready to desert Sherman and go over to Blaine in a body."
