But no support could posstbly be less spontaneous than that accorded to Gen, Grant, Alltho machinery of polities has Deon strained to its utmost tenslun to secure and bind delegates to tho ex-President. Purty leaders have bent all thetr energies to 4 this end, and ised the party whip savagely upon thelr oMfleinl dependents to foree them Suto the ranks of their third-term followers.

In New York and Pennsylyania, Conven- tions were forced enrly to forestall public sentiment. But it was not deemed necessary then to deprive Congresstonal constituen- eles of the right to name their own dele- gntes. I/Wwas enongh to gag them with In- structions and the unit rule, ‘As thie wore on, however, and the opposl- tion to a Usird term Ueenme more pronounced, the Senatorial Syndicate became more au duclous, until in Illinois thoy ordered a bolt in Cook County to avert an adverse majority In the State Convention, and then by virtue of tho dishonest power thus acquired pro- eveded ruthiesly to disfranchise a majority of ths Congresslonal districts of the State!

The Grant face {ion hod a mojority in tho other nino Congressional = districts, and In the whole Convention oy finally doctored by Logan, The delegates representing those dlatricts elected eighteen delegates to the National Convention to vote for Grant; the majority of the whole elected four delo- gates-at-large to vote for Grunt, ‘The tota} number of delegates olected to the Chicago Cdvention was twenty-two for Grant. and twenty opposed to Grant.

Belng “Conyentigns of States,” they repre- sented equal soverelgnttes, and cach State had an equal vote, Population and nation- altty were all Ignored, und the Conventions recognizing States as units of representation, all the States had an equal representation, — two votes each. Sines tho Constitution was adopted In 1787, no “Convention of States" has been held, and representation has been National, every voter having hts right to be heard. ‘The attempt of Logan to adopt the State-sovereignty plan of voting in the Conventions of tho Republican party will be repudinted by the Republicans of the United States with hearty unanimity, Let no Convention Invite the defent of Its eandl- dates and defent of tho party by denying the Nationaltty of the Republican party. ———————_—_—_—S— MORE OF SHERMAN’S VAGUE ‘THEORIES.
