The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1860-07-25

SuMxAR breckenridge, 1872; Guthae, d;
Douglas, Sln; whole vote given, 100. About
twenty re- used voting.
| Regular delegates were present from Georgia,
and their hearty sympathies were with Douglas,
but a point of honor prevented them castiag
their votes.
| The convention when full was composed OF
COG delegates casting 3o3 usses, of which 2O2
we're necessary to choice. When Mr.. Doug
las, coun ting bogus votes and all, received, on
,se third ballot, 1917 votes, 201a less than
the Two thirds resolution was introduced de-
caring him nominated and the motion was
agreed to. The whole numbar of votes in the
convention was but 1856, lacking six votes Of be-
ing two thirds, and 161a votes of the number
the editor of the Statesman is willing to take
his oath MI Douglas received.
4 Of these 1915 votes, many were bogus
The six votes from Louisiana and the nine votes
from Alabama were fraud, as were other
votes from Massachusetts, and Missouri Ta
{ king these from the list, it leaves but l64la
votes for Mr.. Douglas. Under ths unit rule
which compelled in States where MIR. Douglas
was recommended by State Convention, all
the District Delegates to vote for him, that gen.
5 tleman received the entire vote Of Ohio, lndanS
and the other Northwestern States, when i
. was notorious that six votes in Ohio five in In
c diana and seventeen from New York were or
posed to him. Deducting these and the boxu
votes and it leaves Mr. Doaglas but l9,6 vote
all told.
But admitting that all the States ought
70 vote according to the amt rule, w'liclA woui
" give Mr.. Douglas the entire vote of OHIO, Ind
!, ana and New York, yet it world take fro
; him three votes in Tennessee, thtee in Kel
= lucky, four and half in Miss oufi, one and
' half in Missouri one and halfin Arkansa
~ one IN North Caroline, thr ee in Virginia, tv
and half in Missouri, tw o and halfin Ne
- Jersy and ten in Pennsylvania, tbrty-ol
votes in all. Add to these the Is bogus vot
" received in Louisiana ana Alabama and we ha
4e votes to be dedW ;ted from the 1917 recei
y ed by Mr.. Dough- ), giving him all the adss
tage of the unit rule but making it univers,
:, This gives him but 1857 votes less by l6,
Nh votes than a rnajofity in Convention
;. The irie'lds of Mr. Douglas may take eth
:, horn OF tine dilemma, and he was not nom'n
ted. Even il they take the unit rule in Stzt
where it favors them, and repudiate it whe
:, they lose votes by it, and then add to it all
- ~ bogus votes they manufactured for ibe occasic
=. they fall short offs nomination by 2O1s vot
In the whole Convention there were not'anou
votes TO nominate, il they had all been center
on Mr Douglas, and that difficulty was .
RI over by the passage ofa resolution declar
a., that Mr.. Douglrs was the nominee when
o. was not, and when, under the two thirds ru
he could not be, in the disrupted Conven ton
notwithstanding The lacts we have stat
a., and the evidence we have furnished, the Edi
i"'u Of the Statesman is ready to swear that Doug
@ received 2l21S votes and was fairly nominal
mon" and other papers are ready to swear to
mink same thing. The Plain Dealer, for once in
the lie, is so strongly pledged to the truth tina
:. :, dare not ialsify the record, because we have
correct as made out by its Editor.
