Some Republicans Of the radical wing,
having repented Of their proceedings on
Saturday. have become slightly indignant at
.ut our Eue history Of their convention, and
now deny that the delegates elected are
Chase men. We are surprised at these
gentlemen Their indignation Is rather
laughable than Otherwise TO any ono who
was on the field Of battle, and heard the
aclash Of resoonding arms" II is we'll
known to every intelligent man that that
branch Of the republican party which sc-
knowlsdges fealty to Mr.. Parrot and the
other members of the Journal clique, went
w ,oths conventiou intent upon the slaughter
ofChaso, and that the friends Of Chase,
knowing or fearing the danger were amply
prepared to meet il days in advance Mr..
Parrot csme down from Columbus to be
st'tp present on the occasion, He imagined that
great victory awaited him at home Per-
haps he saw the sun Of Austerltz rise at
Columbus that morning. But some one
else was here from Columbus equally as
keen in favor Of Chase. Sergeant Green,
who is desperately in love with the Senator's
political character, was here to act as his
friend But he found every thing most
beautifully arranged in advance. The dele
gates Lad been agreed upon. The tickets
had been neatly struck oil. The plan Of
operations had been thoroughly matured .
The forces were perfectly drilled and impa-
,a tent for the fray. There was nothing for
Sergeant Green to do but to look on and ad,
nire, whic h he did to perfection.
Did all this mean nothug2 Were those
sober business men, who were there hard
work, only Joking when they were strain

politicians and the "old guard merely anu
sing themselves when they argued SO stren-
uously for "reprcsentatye manT 1t may
be so. But If was the Republican party
is certainly the "lunniest' we ever saw
We don'tv the matter, however in that
light Our history was true to the letter
and to prove its correctness we quote from
the last Germantown Independent" what
editor Meyers, furious Chase man, says of
the delegates
"The successful ticket was composed Of
twelve names that were considered reliable
for Senator Chase, as a first choice, TAese
gentlemen believe, that while our represen
tatives at Chicago, should not be tied to any
man, they should support Gov Chase as
long as there is fair prospect of his elec-
ton
Meyers ought to know. He was Lead
ing spirit in the convention. 1t was Meyers
who moved the ballot dodge And he was
the FIRST to allude mysteriously to some
packing that had been going on.
p s. Since writing the above we have
seen a gentleman who was at the conven.
tion at Columbus, Montgomery county cast
votes for Chase, votes against him, Zone
of whom was Maxwell, of Centreville), and
three were absent-otherwise translated,
were dodging. There was some treason in
the radical camp, considerable lodging all
around but it was principally Chase after
all The delegates from this district are p
p. Lowe and Mr.. Beckett Both are known
TO be Chase men out and out. Chase was at
Mr.. Beckeps house a short while previous
to the convention, making the matter all
right Brodbeck is one of the delegates at
large from the State. He lives in Dayton,
and is extremely radical in his views He
will die in the ditch for the great Salmon,
ite. The anti-Chase men will please come
down. They are not orthodox They must
fall down and worship or sbe kicked out
