Senator Wade Hampton, C. H. Buber, F. W. Dawson, and L. F. Youmans were elected delegates at large. Hampton and Youmans prefer Bayard, Dawson has been booming Cleveland in bis paper and personally for him, while Sobers's preference Is unknown, but he is sup posed to favor Cleveland.

New York, June 28.—The corridors of Fifth Avenue Hotel were unusually active this morning, the occasion being a meet ing of the Republican naUonal committee. It was agreed among the closest friends of Blame and Logan that the chairman should not he chosen from among those who had been pronounced radical advocates of Blaine's nomination, but that he should be some representative of the party gen erally, and especially a representative of tbe solid business and manufacturing ele ments of the country. To this end, Messrs. Elkins of New Mexico, Clarkson of Iowa and Chaffee of Colorado, who ba<l been discussed for the chairman ship, all declined to be considered a can didate, and urged the selection of Mr, Jones, of Pennsylvania, who stands at the head of the Pittsburg iron manufacturing interests. He is one of the most success ful business men of the country and a man who will command the cordial confidence of the public, and especially of the busi ness interests of the country. He is a gen tleman of fifty-five or sixty years, in his full power, and still a fully organized and developed Republican. It is understood that he will devote his whole Ume to tbe work, and will remain at headquarters here during the campaign.

They have within that period carried the House of ’’ iresentaUves four times out of fire, snd -870 they elected a President, but were cheated out of the office. With all this majority, the psrty managers have failed to uHlize this force, and blunders have been committed which have had the effect of prolonging Republican ascendency. Tbe Democratic party has now once more an _ opportunity to gain possession of her of honest and faithful Democrats, the government. If it be thrown The first thing to do in order to succeed Convention at Chicago are Thomas Ratlin. William F. Dutch, Jnban S. Carr and George H. Brown. The entire delegation will meet in Washington on the 4th of July. They lean to the opinion that it is advisable to support Cleveland, while they are in sympathy with Bayard. The alter nates are Richmond Pearson, Charles L. Cook, Rufus J. McAden and Walter Steele. Tbe platform challenges comparison be- twren the prosperity and good government attending DemocraUc administration in the State and the crimes, outrages and scandals of the period of Republican ad ministration ; affirms adherance to former platforms, as regards a free and fair ex- R ression of public will at tbe ballot box as ■e only meaus of preserving free Ameri can institutions, and denounces the cor rupt use of Federal patronage to control elections, as dangerous to tbe liberties of the people. It favors the unconditional and immediate repeal ot the whole of the internal revenue sys tem, on the ground that it is an intolera ble burden, a standing menace to the free dom of elections and a source of great cor ruption. and calls for a reduction of taxes to avoid a surplus in tbe treas ury. With respect to the tariff, is says: “We reaffirm the prinpiet of the last national Drmooratlc platform, leaving the details of the method by which a constitutional revenne tariff shall be gradually reached to our Congressional Representatives, but duties should bs lev ied for revenue, and discriminations should place tbe highest rates on luxuries and tbe lowest rate on necessaries.” It pledges a continual Improvement of the achool system, and will accept such a distribution of the Cole, Mississippi by John R.

The pres- entdude rebellion does not start with the Imposing auspices of that ot 1872, and, tf I have hope* of DemocraUc aucoeu, they are based on other conslderaUons entirety. We can cross tbe stream, 1 think, but It Is better to avoid the weak and rot ten plank. The foolish man menUoned in intiirc, who built bis bouse upon the a. could probably have found a good foundation only a hundred yards sway, where hia mansion would have stood for The contest with a series of blunders, which, unless soon checked, will inevitably entail diauter.

The DemocraUc party has been convulsed and torn by this needless agita tion, and such leaders u Hard, Watterson, and others propose to renew the strife at idi to insist to to make a platform anil nominees that will unite, and thoroughly unite, the Dem ocratic party. With this, victory is reas onably safe. We cannot win by taking counsel of the dndes. New York is the battle ground. Who can carry It? Ido not propose to urge or even suggest a noica inee, but Randall, Flower, Field, Payor. Hancock, and others I could name, would be greatly stronger than Cleveland. De spite the talk about Mr. Bayard’s Dover siieech, I should feel more confidence if he WAS the nominee than Cleveland, so far as New York is concerned. Dut one thing Is certain, if the papers which dodge In and out of tbe Republican party, hero to-day and these to morrow, ready to print any falsehood abont the Sonth, are suffered to dictate the DemocraUc nomination and platform, Mr. Blaine will surely be the next 1’restdent of the United Slates.

Tbe statement sent oat by the general press agent of Saratoga, and telegraphed ail over the land, to the effect that a ma- ority of the delegates were elected as rlendi of Governor Cleveland, is false.

But Cleveland failed to eecnra a majority, and the at tempt to make the country be lere that ho did is a fraud that deserves rebuke. To try to carry New York by false representa tions of outside strength, and then to hoodwink other Statu l>y the false pre tense that New York demands him, Is a species of sharp practice that can hardly succeed. I shell not discou Governor Cleveland's trlesrs on the many sets ot the Republican party which have violated the constitu tion and oppressed the Sonth; on the sec tionalism which anlmatu and digraces the national government; on tho reform of the Federal judiciary and the Federal election laws; on the Chinese quutlon; on the re vocation ot land grants; on the tariff; on the abolition of the system of Internal rev enue taxation; on the currency, and the power to tune le gal tenders In time of peace; on negro social equality; on legislation which perpetuates the present Republican bur eaucracy and monopoly of offlos; on tha Improvement of the Mississippi river, and the improvement of tbe rivers and harbors of the country, and many other questions of grave concern, for the simple reason that I do not know whtt his views are.

Plan to Force Tilden to Run a* the On* ly Way to Save tho Party. Philadelphia Time*. New York, Jnne 25.—The Demo crats are having an interoating session to-night. John Kelly’s assault on Cleveland hu borne fruit and a ecoro eminent Democrat, are at the Fifth avenue In close and earnest consulta tion, Senator Davla, of Weat Virginia; Sonator Gorman, of Maryland; ex- Scnator Uarnum, W. L. Scott, ot £rlc; Senator Mcl'hetion, of New Jersey, and other leaders ot the Democrats aro sitting ap trying to devlae some plan for securing party harmony. None of these gentlemen are for Cleveland, which adds double significance to tho conference. Bayard ta tho favorite of moat of them and tho Senator from Delaware la the choice of Tammany’s chief. General Batler is also hero, but seems not to be actively in the consul ted. and he remarked significantly to night that be did not beuevu that any man from New_York wouldU» named «i Chicago. Thia gathering ui Demo cratic leader* bu revived the talk of Tilden. It has been proposed-that the old man be nominated notwithstanding his declination. Itwu conceded on all sides that, with the tarn things have taken, Cleve land cannot begin to carry New York and is there fore out of the race.

Col. Bcshrod Johnson stood his ground until he had emptied the last barrel of his old i«?p- per-box pistol, then retreated amid tho universal shout of tho boys to “run." James G.

A few days later Col. Buahrod Johnson and James G. Blaine made their appearance together at Drenman’s Springs, the new Head quarters, where about 150 ol the old cadets had assembled. As soon as tho former of these two professors appear ed, the cadota ralsed a shout of “Three cheers for Old Bush!” They mode the * resound with their hearty cheers. then shouted, “Throe groans for Blaine!” And the night was rendered hideous by the howls, grunts anil groans of the schoolboys. The tent- sion wu too much for Blaine, and ho aoon tendered its resignation and left for the hills ot Maine. M. It. U. Menton, Texu, June 15. Discriminating Against H«br*w«« St. Louts, Jane 26.—M. J.
