First, as ta the facts: It is true that the Chalrainn of the Cook County Central Comn- inittes called the Convention to order, and thereby recognized its regulurlty, From that moment Mr, Singer’s guthority ceased. In- stend of asking the Convention its plensure, ho undertook to control Its organizqtion by personally appoluting a Chalrman, It ‘Is truy that the Convention refused to submit to this presumptuous dictation, and that it nom Inated and elected a Chairman of Its own choosing, as ithad an unquestionable right todo, It fs no¢ truo that the nomination was Mhaie and seconded by gentlemen who were not delegates. MroAnthony, the Chairman, vas nominated by $. M. Booth, s regularly. elected delegate from the Thirteenth Ward, and tife nomination was sedonded by Arthur Dixon, a regularly-clected delegate from the First Ward, Singer, who sought to usurp tho right to appoint the Chalrman, was not 9 delegate to the Convention, but had been beaten in Lemont by Janes B. Neill in his effort to get into the Convention. It fs not truo that "the Chairman of the Cook County Convention xudjourned that Convention” to meet at the Democratic headquarters at tho Palmor House, a5 Mr. Storrs stated. Tho only Chairman of the Cook County Convention was Mr. Anthony, who remained in the regular Convention in Farwell Halland presided over it till It nd- Journed when Its business was finished. ‘Mr. Singer called on “all tho Qrant delegates to leave the halland go tote Palmer Ilonse.” Uc had not the prestumption to attempt to ad- Journ the Convention. Ie only called on tho Grant bolters to leave, and that, too, some thine after they had all gone off at the com- mand of Dick Tuthill. Ita action, in any respect, was simply a plece of impertinence, Deenuse he was not the Chairinan, and could not havebeon, sinco ho was not n delegate, Wis authority ceased from the moment he, ag Chalrinun of tha County Committee, cniled the Convention to order. ‘The talk about violence fs mere bosh. llaving thus corrected Mr, Storrs’ stato- ment of the case as to matters of fact, wo enn casily define the parliamentary status and moral rights of tho regulur Convention. There is abundant testimony, which we cite elsewhere, that the practice In the Coun- ty Conventions of this county has been for the Chairman of the Central Committes to enlt the Convention to order, and for the Con- vention then to proceed to nominate’ and elect its ‘femporary Chairman. Judgo Couch, onca Chatrinan of the Central Comn- tilltce, testified In the Convention that this course was taken under hls administration. Mr. Elliott Anthony testified in the Conven- tlon that ho was in the first Republican Con- vention over helt in Chicago, and hac either been a delegate to or in attendance ot all the others, and that “the Chalrman of s Central Committea in Cook County never undertook to name the Temporary Chairman of the Convention until to-day.” In the County Conyention four years ago (the Presidential year, a3 this is) the Chairman of the Central Committee merely called the Convention to gether, and the Temporary Chairman was nominated and elected by tho Convention. ‘The precedents are opposed to the usurpa- tlon attempted by Mr. Singer under the direc- tlon of the third-term minority. But, if. the practice had been the other way,—if the Chairman of the Central Com- mittee hed usually named the Temporary Chairman of the Convention without objec- tion,—that custom would not have deprived any Convention of the right to object or tha right to elect the Temporary Chairman whenever It should choose to exercise this right. ‘The Convention of Inst Monday had the traditional, the parliamentary, the repub- Heat, the inherent right to control {ts own organization, and the oxerclse of that right by a majority of more than: two-thirds gave tho minority of iess than one-third uo right to secede, ‘The Convention, haying organized by the election of a Temporary Chairman, had the right to scrutinize the credentials, ‘The bolters dtd not walt for this; but, If they had waited, the procedure would have been the same, Mr, Storrs cannot deny the Cook County Convention this right without deny- ing to the State Convention the same right, upon which the Grant bolters baso their’ hope of getting admitted to tho Springfleld Convention, The with- drawal of tho third-term bolters did not, however, betray the ‘regular Convention into any action whiich would not have been taken had the bolters remained. Tho only change in delegates was in the admission of eleven’ delegates from tho ‘Twelfth Ward whose title to their seats was proved by sworn testimony to the frauds by which they had been counted out at the primaries, Tho five wards represented by the third-term bolters were regularly called off whenever a vote was taken and preferences asked, and the bolters would have had all thelr rights had they remained or had they returned at any thine, . . The bolt represented five wards and three county towns, and there remained in the Con- vention twelve wards and twenty-six county towns. Tho, legitimately-elected delegates who bolted numbered oxnetly 47; the total number of bolters, Including those who wera not honestly olected, was 68,—in elther caso Jess than one-third of the Convention. ‘These bolterg had. no credentiols, which, with one exception, had ‘beon left with tho regular Convention. When they nrat thoy Alled up thelr “Rump Convention” with a majority af delegates who hud been defeat- cd at:the primartes by the people. They thon went through the farce. of appointing ulnety-two delegates to Springfield—tho whole delegution—for Grant, though by tholr own claim they would -linve been entitled only to thirty if they lind remnitied in the Convention, and had suceeeded in retaining thelr eleven. bogus delegates. from the Twelfth Ward, They distranchised the clear Republican imajority of two Congressional districts, besides Irregularly selzing another. Thoy apvoluted Grant delegates for the ‘Third District, whore they had been beaten ten to ong in the primary elections, Their proceedings wero ® pretense and a fraud from beginning to ond, ‘Tho simple tact is, that the bolt had been arranged In udyance because tho third" tormers found themselves beaten moro than two to one iu the county in spite of all thelr cheating. But they did not watt even for a shudow of o protext, and thus delib- erntoly forfeited nll the rights they had. A fact of atill greater importance in Its buar- ing upon the State Convention is that tho result of the County Convention would have been preclscly what it has been eyen if the bolters had remaincd. Honco the bolters ave no claim whatevor upon tho attention of the State Convention, i Mn, 1, M, Srxcen makes a focble plea in behalf of himeslé and of the, Grant boltera. He says that before calling the Convention to order le consulted with Mr, 0, B. Farwell a3 to the order of procecding, telling him that he intended to Ict the majority of the dole- gutes whoso seats were uncontested docile the Chalrmanshilp, aud thet Mr, Farwell ap- proved of this; but when he told Afr, Far- well that he Intended to name the Chairman, instead of leaving that duty to the delegates, Farwell “told him that waa not the rteor practice in thts county." Singer thon adis that other porsons" tolufhifm differently, and he actedion the adylce of these “other persons,” Ay nuwe appears that Mr, Sloger intended to have Mr, George Struckman, of the Seventh Senatorial District, for Chatrmyn, because Struckmian was a Washirne Sir. Singor. however, ouilts to state In My plea PRECEDENTS FROM THE RECORD Temporary Chairman chosen on motion of a delegate.’ To prove this it a only necossary to quote from the reports of the Conventions, beginning with the last one and running backward: dJudgo G. W. Couch, Cl chi that Struckiman absolutely refused his con- sent, and so notified Singer, Mr. Anthony, who was elected Chairman hy the Convention itself, was also a Wash- buried delegnté,"Bo that the election of o Washburne Chatettan had been determined .on by tho Grant nen, oud tuo election of Anthony furnished no possibic causo for a bolt because of distYdhchisement. Mr. Singer omits to state that hd refused to put the voto on the nomination -of, Anthony after it had been made by a delegate, If9, omits also to state that, after Antiolt tind 4 been made Chairman, Roberts Seerelary, fitted aComnittes on Credentials appointed, all the delegates in the Convention except those from Hydo Park and tho Fifth Ward reeng- nizing the organization ns complete, handed thelr credentinis to that Committee, which had retired, before Mr. Singcr conelurted tat he had power to enlion "all the Grant men to leave tho hall sid goto the PalmerHouse,* or, ng another report has It, the Grant dele gates will adjourn to the Palwer House? Mr, Singer had no right to say a word In tho Convention after the Temporary Chair man, Mr, Anthony, had been elected by the Conrention and taken the chalr, That polnt of the proceedings marked tho end!of his powers and duties In that Convention. “Such has been the uniform usagd in Couk,County Conventions, ns Mr. Singer must well: know. ls atatoment, or plea, or wlintever ho calls it, establishes nothing except tliat hollowed. himself tobe mate a tool of by ruekless, desperate men of the rule-or-ruln deserlp- tion. . j oF COOK COUNTY CONVENTIONS. +, Mr. I.

Asa needssary preliminary toun undergtanding of the rule, it sas well first to state.tho facts, which are plain and directs =.‘ | 1, Mr. Binger, Chairmigt of tho County Comuulttoay galled the Convention to ordor, ng tio had"tho right to, do, Hu then an- nounced that he would namo a person to act as Temporary Chairman, ‘This was objected to by a number of dele- gates, Mt; Singer was not a delegate. Wheretptit delegate from the Thirteenth Ward moved that Mr, Anthony be appointed Chairman, ‘This motion was seconded by Mr. Purlngton aud by Ald. Dixon. 3fr, Stluger refused to put tho question to the Convention, claiming the right to appoint the Chalrimn, Whereupon tho delegate fom tid Thirteenth Ward put the question to. the Copyention, and tt was cartled by 9 vote of threa to one. 3, The Conyontion having appointed Mr, Anthony theéTemporary Chairman, Singer refused to recognize him. Anthony took tho ehair, On motto {bf Dixon, Col, Roberts was elected Seerctur} by the Convention. 3. ‘The organization belng complete, Mr. Sluger’s further interference,. personal or oMelal, was cniled, and. he wis no more sthoreafter than any other citizen not a dele Bi ate, 4. Me. Purlngton then moved the appoint- ment of a Conunittee on Credentials, which motion was adopted’ by the Convention. The Chairman then appointed as that Committes Cary (‘Thtre Ward), nWoodward (Fourth, Ward), White (‘Tenth Word), Appiston (Six- teenth Ward), Floto (Eighteenth Ward), Maer (Elghth Ward), W. 1. Johnson (Fourteenth Ward), Brainard (Evanston), Campbell (‘Lown of Worth), Some one ob- Jecting that Johnson’s seat was contested, iho Chair appolited Booth, from the Thir- teenth Ward, in his place, Thesent of no delegate on tho Committes was contested, #5, All tife delegations thereupon handed thelr credentials to this Committee, excopt those of the Fifth Ward and Iyde Park, and the Comunitteo retired, G At this stage of the proccedings,. Mr, Tuthill, « Grant delegate of tho Eleventh Ward, in groat excitement, yolled at the top of his volee: “AJL in favor of Gen. Ulysses Grant for President, follow me from the hall?! Whereupon the fifty-seven Grant delegates (including tho eloven of tho ‘Iwolfth Ward whose seats were confesteil) marched out of the Convention after tholr secession lead- cr, and proceedad to the Palmer Iouse, Some time after they had gone, Mr. Singer, who had necompauted them out on the side- walk, returned to tho hall, and, mounting the stage, called ont (according to tho Times? report), “All Grant delegates will meet im- medintely at the Palmor House.” Tho third- term organ reports it thus; “Mr. Sluger again mado his way to the platform, and an- nounced that the Grant delegates would ad- Journ to the Palmer House.” Io did not say, “This Convention is ndjourned to the Palmer House”; or, “ The delegates to this Convention will meet at the Palmer louse”; but, “ All the Grant. delegates will meet Im- mmodiately at the Palmer House’? His in- vitatlon or order was made only to pirt—to amlnorityat that—of the Convention, What right or business had he to command or order the Grant delegates to have a conyen- tion at thatstage of the proceedings, orntuny atage? 16 was not 2 delegate to the Con- vention, and had no business to address it after {ts 'Lemporary Chairman had taken his seat, But, any way, where did ho got his authority to order orcall the Grant delegates to adjourn to the Palmer: House? Did thoy alone—numbering but fifty-eight persons in aconvention of 191 delegates—constitute the Covk County Convention? 7% Tho Committee reported as tho list of thoso elected all those who had handed tn orcientinta, ineluding all the Grant men who iad elntined elcetton, except eleven from tha ‘pweltth Ward, In whoso places contestants wore admitted. This report was confirmed, and the Conyention was -complete,—forty- soven delegates declared olected having ab- sented themselves, . ‘These are the essential facts, Now Mr. Storrs applles the Inw as follows: » Cas not presout at Farwell Hall, butam ad+ 1. ‘Phat the Convention was called to order by tho Chairman of the County Committee, ‘That tho preliminury motion was put,—the name of n candidate for umpornry chairman. @ Tamiudvided that a nominution was mude for Canirman by a mun nota delogato, 4.

Now, whon those very hot dissocinted gasce in the pairs of chambers are brought togotbor through tho hot pipes whitch’ connevt cach palr of cluunbers and are ullowod to isaue forth from prall Jota long pipes placed where the hot firo 4g wanted and frvo alr is plowed to touch thoi, chourfcal combinations (asdoctatians) tuke place, ‘Tho carbon from the naphtha combines with the oxyKen of tho wator, the liberated bya rely combines with the oxygen of tho air burning with tho hydrogen Uauie (thohottost fre that can be produced by combustion), and the whoto re: sult Ie nn oxo-hydro-eartun Jhune, or heat, Car: bonita avtd gas nnd water are tho ashea of tho comtustion, nud thoy pass off through tho stack, Although tho test was nota fale one, 18 tho locomotive that was used had been Inld up for seven months ready to be repalred, and Its flues wore rusted and clogged and all its arrangoments Intended for coal, the en- alncersand railroad men universally teatifed that it was the most perfect combustion they had ever secon. The engine propelled the ear alx miles at an average rato of from thirty to thirty-five intfes per hour, using an average of ailttle Iess than two gallons of naphtha for fuel per milo. In small. quantitics, naplitha costs about three cents per gallon, ‘while in largo quantities it can be bought for onc ands half to twa conts, while a low av- erage of the present expense of fuel on rail- ronda fs from 74 to 13.conts per mile. Dr Holland believes that, with his retort, engines ean be run at an expense of from three to four cents per mile, Another great nd- vantago of the retort fs tho complote- ness of combustion. When the train was tn motion there were no sparks, no sinoke, no elnders, no sulphurons gases, as in tho casa of coal, where only 5 per cent of the heat- producing elomonts is utilized, the remainder passing off in smoke, cinders, and clinkers. Apnin, it is claimed that tho iron of the cn- gine cannot be injured, as there are no im- purittes in the gases to combine with and «dls integrate the fron. \ Every phaseof thoexperlmont seems favor- avis and indicates that the Inventor 1s on the rond to success with Mis retort. There fs nothing new {n tho gencral principle, as car- bolt from oils is now used to some extent In England and quito largely In Russia, where they have succeeded in uttlizing about 30 per cent of the carbon, The great diMleulty in the way, however, hns been the separation of the Bases 80 ns to produco perfect combustion. ‘This diMeutty seems to have been solved, at least In very large degree, by Dr. Holland. Iie may clafin to have produced the most per- fect fire yeb made from Iiqukl fuel, and thisfs a step forward go fimportant that it should encourage him and others to porsc- vera until porfect combustion Is obtained. ‘Thore has long bacn no question among scl- entific men that Iquid fuel fs tho fuel of tho future. Its econouy is appargpt at o glance, ‘The supply of water and of~oils that yield carbon fs simply inexhaustible, and, ns It has been estimated that there is ten times as much Hquld fuel tn the world as solid, its economy over wood and coal is sufictently indicated. Besides all this, it does away with smoke, soot, and cinders, Is enster han- dled and controtled, and is less Injurlous to the running gear of the engine, As ft can also be appiled to cooking stoves, stationary engines, and steambonts, as well as locomo- tives, it will be seen that Dr. Holland, unless all signs fail, fs on the verge of 2 successful solution of this great problem, which will revolutionize the fuel question of the worl, Turene has been a good denl of clamor In the third-term organs ubout representation by Sonutoriul districts. In polnt of law and equity such represontation fa not required. Tho call forthe Cook County Convention gnys nothing nbout Senatorial districts, The cull simply says: Tho Republican voters vf Cook County aro requested to send delegates to tho Cook County Convention, tobe held nt Farwoll Iuil, No. 148 Madison street, In tho City of Chicaygo,on Mon- day, May 10, af tho hour of 10 o'clock in tho forenoon, for the purpose of nominating ninety two tele eyatea to uttend the Stale Convention at Springfed on the 1th day of May, A. D. 1880. Nothing is suid horoabout Sountorial districts, or wards, or precincts, or noighborhoods, The manner of apportioning tho delegates wag soniu- thing that tho Stato or Cuunty Committee could not determine, It was the province of the Con- vention to decide bow the delegutes should bo distributed through the city, So much for tho theory. Now ug to tho practice. If tho third termors had waited, and taken thelr chances mantully, in defeat as in victory, thoy would on their own showing have been entitled to but ono smull Sonatoriul district, which cnsta but ning votes in the Stute Convention, The Sonatorial districts (omitting, for the present, the Fourth, in which thore was a contest) stood ns followa: Antt-Grant, Grant, TH 4 ‘Tho contostet Fourth District turned on the decision in the Swolfth Ward. Tho third-term- ers claimed clovon delegates in this ward by 6 muority ranging from J to 20 votes. Lut it was conclusively shown that thoy cast hundreds of Domocrutic yotes in the ward. Attitavits of Democrats why peddtod third-term tloketa and yotod for Grant at the primurles in this ward were forthcoming, aid buye slice beon printed, Ono mun swears to tho names of nineteen Dom- ocrats who go voted, nnd others testify to tho samo effect. Indeed, fow, If any, honorable men in this community will deny that tho contest was oquitablo ‘nnd properly sus- tained by tho Convontion. This Fourth District must, therefore, be put down with the Firat, Second, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh asantl-Grant, The Fifth and Sixth, itwilllbo observed, aro unanimous on that sido, and tho |, Seventh nearly so. The thind-termers would have hud only the Third Senatorial District, and {thas but nino delegates to Spriugiold, not sniticlent to aifect the rosutt In tha Congrosston- aldistrict, But thoy surrendered a right to tho ning delegates thoy might. huyo clutined under tho Sonuturlul-district plan by baiting the Con- vention, HRathor than adinit, as thoy would have been obliged todo, that thoy werv ontitied to but nino delegates to Springfield, thoy preferred to bolt the Convention, and nppeal to the ma chino in Springfield to bent tho trropressiblo unti-third-toim fooling among tho Itepublicans of Cook County, <a Carr.
