BY the proceedings in another column q take it
for granted the balottDgs will reach Washington to-
morrow morning in the Baltimore papers it will be
seen that the other Convention has again adjourned
without being able TO carry the nomination Of any of
the candidates hitherto mentioned. What a con,

could not be elected, will yet the policy and feel
the justice, of uniting the who beat Mr..
Clay. That man is John Tyler
Ever since 1910, as well as remember, all the
calculations of all the Democratic papers, have been
based on the admitted fact that 1873 vote. in the Con-
vention would secure a nomination. To-day-in one
single dayall those calculations have been scattered
to the Winds by the establishment of rule requiring
two thirds III votes in this Convention TO nomi-
nate. On the first ballot Mr.. Van Buren, received
Isl votes, and yet he was not only not nominated,
but, as the voting progressed, was apparent tina,
some other was destined to beat him. So far
from objeciing to the propriety of this course OF
things my design at present is merely TO show that
those who happened TO be particularly interested in
Mr.. Van Burcns success, we're very naturally indg-
nan,, and that ii was to be expected emphatic pro-
tests would be made.
