I. F. Mack, of tho Sandusky Register, one of the most witty and snreustic editors. in Ohlo. Meferring to tho Shorman mecting © week ago, Mr. Mack said: “Lwaa greatly surprised to rend tho speech of Charicy Foster, our present Govornor, giving his advice to tho Itopublicans of Obto, and that ho advises us to stand by John Sherman. Now, I remember whon wo were at the Cinclnnatt Convention nearly four years ‘ogo, Mr. Foster, or own Charloy, camo to ma and said: '3fuck, you stand with us solld for Jin Blainc, of Maine. Io's tho best man fn this Natton to-day, tried and true,’ Now,” says tha speaker, “ what afla Jim Bluine vow, or didu't Mr, Foster mean what he sald? Was he joking then, or isho joking now, when he says that John Shorman fs tho greateat mau this Nation ever produced?

Wo aro truly tired of this policy bual- ness, and tho sooner we witke up to tho truo condition of this country tha botter for us, Wo want a man who has never wayorod, and ono whom allean enthusiastically aupport. We do not like Sherman legs, but wo, tho people, love Blaine moro," (Enthusiastic appinuse.] f Oneof tho apeakers, iu referring to’ tho favor- it-aon foolishness, said: “ Years ayo I lived in an: adjolning State, We wore aflicted with that vory catching opidomle, tho favorit-son ailment. Ho was clcoted to tho Presidency, but wo were onred, and have novor had a rolapse, thank God! Perhaps you bays heard of hin, Buchanan was hisnamo. Now, Ohlo may get her fulluoss of this same thing if a remody isnot administered.” Gen. John Beatty mado the closing speech, which took deep root, nnd was loudly and warm- ly applandod. In reforring to tho last Presl- dontlul eloction be said: “Thore was a dologa- ton of visiting statcamon who wont to Now Or- leans, Ono of that Committco was a mon whom the people of Objo had highly honored.

Gen, Beatty referred to tho resumption of speclo-peyments, aud said that Jobn Sherman 1880. bad but carried out the law. Had he dono tess he would have been Impeached, It was to tha people that tho credit: of resumption was due, and no ono man could claim the honor of bring- wing the result about. The meoting Is ncknowledged by tho friends of Sceretary Sherman as being yery successful, and tho more thoughtful are now disposed to concede that Senntor Mlatne will hayo a portion the Ohio delegation at tho Chieago Conyen- lon.

AS FAR AS COULD DE JUDGED from tho cursory expressions of those present, the Blaine men are supporting him on the ground that ho is the most effective candidate that there fs in tha fleld agninst Gen, Grunt. The Washburie men nll felt that thoy were put in an embarrassing position, innamuch as thoy had no authority from Mr. Washburne to act, and they fenred that if: hls nnine were used, and @ elib ‘formed in bis bebulf, ho would, 18 one observed, sit down on the whole proceas the morning pupera. Nearly all of thoso present sald they would support Gen, Grant in case he was nominated, jore were, however, two or three who sald thoy would not support him un- der any circummtances. One tnan sald he hnd no apprehensions at being classed a8 an independ- ent voter; that that ery.had no_terrors for him; and he would support a good Democrat rather than a bad Repubtican, The inceting at the beginning seemed Hkely to bo Inharmonious, but towards the end it was entirely Innccont. There was no dispute as to the propriety of appointing the Committee as uiven above, and tho resolution providing for it was carricd with but one opposing yote, A motion was made to have a committee of nine appointed by the Chalr to take action with reference to the Blaine meeting to be beld nt the Grand Paelfle Hotel Saturday, Thia, however, was voted down pretty ununimously, AS FOR THE POLITICAL PREYRRENCES Be itiose namod above, they may be clasaitiod na follows: a For ol LS Malng= Moses, Hawes Nelson, Eddy, rawford, O. 8 A.

WWSTORY OF THE RULE—HOW IT CAMP TO DE CHANGED AT THE CINCINNATE CONVENTION— NO GAG-RULY NOW IN FORCE. ‘Tho strong probubliity of u grand row in the Ponnsytvania delegation to tho coming Repubd- Kican National Convention, notwithstanding the adoption of tho “unit rule" nt Harrisburg, recalls that portion of tho proceedings at the Clnolunatt Convention four yoarsngo when the sumo de- vice for scouring and enforcing “unanimity” ina delegation and stittiag tho sentiments of members proved no better than a rope of sand, “The Cincionati anti-unit precedent” hua como to the front’ a good deal of Inte in connection with tho possibilities and probabilities at Chi- cago in 1880, and a bricf résumé of the manner in which tho unit-rulo question was brought up and disposed of four years ago will not be un- intoresting 18 a reminiscence.

Inthe midst of a great donl of contusion Mr, SteCormick asked to be heard, but tho Chairman, owing to tho confusion, did not gcem to have heard him. Mr. Cessna, also of Ponnsylvania, called bis attention ta the ro- quest, and the Chairman replied that he tind not heard it, ‘This brought out the angry rotort from MeCorinick tit “the Chyirman’ did not want to hour him,” and the Chulrman got back in kind by replying that “tho imputation upon the prealdlag onlecr waa dishonoring to the gens tloman who made it."

Before the Chalr could get ina word, Gov, Yan Zandt, of Rhode Island, got tho floor and made n vigor- ous speech in favor of Gn tts the delegation to voto ns Instrictod. Mr, Oliver, of Pennayl- vanin, followed in much the samo strain.—only moreof ft.—and the Chair himself finally de- termined to on something, What ho did say was that all of this proceedin was fn violation of tho rules. Tho Convention's first duty was to DP with the roll-calt. ‘The Chalrman’s firat duty was toenforce the onler of the Convention and to direct the roll-call to proceed. Tho only question he had decided was that of these parties fo latin tho right in thelr Individual capacity to voto thelr particular sentiments. As Chairman of the Convention he know nothing of any rules except those tho Convention itaelf had nid sowit for hig control, aud under those rutes it THB DUTY OF THE CHAIRMAN Of each dclegntihn to record the vate.

Tho question then aroso on maintalning the decision of tho Chair, and Col, Ingersoll, of {iInole, moved to lay the whole question on tho table. ‘The temporary Chalr- mun held that there was no occasion for that, since the question waa directly on sustaining tha appeal. Col.

Wood- ford, of New York, held that, while hav- ing no sympathy with the vote which the minority from Pennsylvanin sought to sant and believing that nny nomination that could not carry the doubtful States wns the burial of the Hepubliean party in. tho coming canvass, thoy believed that urider tho very existence of tho Nation and the party was tho right of every man to cast his own vote. Mr, Atkin, of Tennesace, beld that the National Convention was supreme, and had the right to let ench dele~ gate represent the sentiments of his constitu- ents, ended for * the inviolabil- ity of individual rights.” | the specch- making Mr. McPherson resumed his seat as Chalrman of the Convention, and when Mr, Halo But down somebody moved ‘THE PREVIOUS QUESTION on the motion, “Shall the decision of the Chair stand of the Judgment of tho house?” The main question was ordered, ond tho Chair atated it clearly and explicitly ua follows: “Tho question fs, Shall the decision of tho Chatr stand as the judgment of the house?

Blaine, have a ylght, under tho rules of the Convention, to havo thelr votes recorded accordingly.” In response to n request for the rending of the rule, the Chair continued: “Tho sixth rulo says: ‘In the record of the vote by Btates, the vote of cach Btate, Territory, and the District of Columbia shall bo announced by tho Chairman; and fn caso tho voto of any State, Territory, or the District of Columbin shall be divided, tho Chairmun shall announce tho number of votes cast, for any candidate, or for or aguinst any proposition.’ Now, 1 put itto the gentlemen of this Convention how it was posatblo for tho Chair to rule atherwigo."* Mr, Dutcher, of Now York, tried toMient, but tho previous quostion had been called, and ho could .only do so by consent. Tho Chair told Alm as much, adding that ho had no objection himeelf. which moved Mr, Dutcher to. charzo that this was a nee game.” The question was then put on sustalninc the Chair, and, amidst. A GENERAL APFIRMATIVE RESPONSE, " Mr. Cumback, of Indiana, inoved that the yote bo taken by States. The motion prevaticd. When the vote of Pouneyivnnis wits taken tho delegate who voted for Hinine asked the Chair to rocord bis vote in opposition to thatet tho delegation, or. in othor words, in the affinma- tive. Tho Chair said that, kaving ruled beforo in favor of the right of an Individual member to have bis: vote recorded as ognlust. tho vote of n delegation, until that was changed {t would of course stand as tho rule of the Convention. * ‘There were loud cries of No" to this, but the Chair succceded in getting ordor and making the following announcements “The result of the voto ja: Yoas, 8%; nays, 851; 80 the decision of tho Chair fs sustained, ond it stands a8 the sentiment of the Conven- tion, under tho sixth mile, that it is the right of avery individual member to voto hls indlyidual sentiments." THAT BETTLED 1T,— established tho precedent,—and the unit rule had to give wny before one of tho rules which the National Republican Convention {tacit had adopted the day before without tho faintest dis- cussion or one dissenting voice, The quecreat thing about it was that this very sumo rules-tho sisth—wus reported by m committee of which Mr. Cessna, of Pennsylvania, who nfterwards objected 80 Atrenuously to any infroction of the unit rule, was the Chairman.
