The delegatioas in the interests of the various places emulous for the honor of entertain- ing the next national republican convention were bustly engaged in buttonholing members of the committee that had hitherto eluded their grasp. Ex-Senator Platt, of New York, was doing what he could for Saratoga, and expressed the opinfon thatthe tide was turning in that direction. Ex-Speaker Keifer and Jotun G.

The long corridors leading to the room were also occupled tn a similar manner, When Col Martin, the secretary of the commit- tee, rapped on the Stable, shorliy after twelve o'clock, he sad: “Those gentiemen not members of the committee or holding proxies will please re- Ure.” ‘The response to this request thinned ont the crowd considerably, and alter they bad passed out the members took’ thelr seats.

MR. FRYE'S REMARKS. Mr. Frye, of Maine, on submitting his proposition for anew basis of presentation at the next na- Jonal convention, sai in {ts support that it pre- sented a subject which demanded honest and con- sclentious attention.

When the Cinetnnatt delegation “held” the ‘floor, the sailles of Ben. Butterworth’s wit created a hearty laugh In the committee room. It is expected that the vommilttee will reach a vote late this afternoon, but what place willbe the choice cannot be pre- dicted.

A committee was also appointed to wait upon the national re- publican committee at its session to-morrow and ask the recognition by that committee of the Straightout republican organization of Virginia.

ARREST OF A CRANK FOR ANNOYING THE LATE PRES- IDEN?’S DAU A Cleveland, 0., special to the Philadelphia Press says: For many months past Miss Mollle Garfield has been annoyed by the impertinent attentions of a young traveling salesman connected with a St. ois house. He has constantly addressed to her letters expressive of his profolind admiration and esteem for her, and has even gone so far as to pro pose Marriage. ‘These communications have, of course, been treated with the contempt they merl- ted, Latterly, however, his attentions have become an actual torment to the family of Mrs. Garfleld, and measures were taken to puta stop to them’ During the past few days he has frequently made his appearance on Prospect. street, In the vicinity of Mrs. Garfield's home, and has repeatedly sought interviews with the members of the household, but he has been frequently turned away from the door. Mrs. Garfleld consulted with Dr. Boynton, her brother-in-law, who notified the police, and ap- pointed an interview with the young tah to occur his afternoon. ‘The ardent youth was punctual; so was Detective Hulligan. The young lover was taken to the Central police station, where he gave the name of Geot ‘ashington, and asserted that he wasa neal descendant of the father of his country, “andit 1 don’t marry Molife Garfield,” he exclaimed, “11 myself.” He was hurried off toacell, mi little resistance, but constantly rotesting the sincerity of his affection, His sanity is of a mila form, and has apparentiy been caused by dissipation. Washington is the individ- ual who a few years since earned some notoriety through his persistent attentions to the niece of General Sherman at St. Louls. He was arrested for his annoying conduct, but was subsequently released.
