n. York BLocKING THE DOUGLAS CANE
1t is charged-and proven-on all hands,
both by the Douglasites and the Seceders,
that the New York Soft delegation was
admitted to the Charleston Convention on
the strength of pledges which they repudi-
ate, after being suugly in their seats. They
voted for the two-thirds rule, although they
were told that the effect of that rule would
inevitably be to defeat his nomiration. 1t
is now stated that an effort will be made
to rescind the rule, and that the New York
delegation will oppose-their reason for
this is said to be that any nomination by a
simple majority. and that majority compos.
ed Of northern delegates, who cannot rely
upon giving the candidate a single electoral
vote, would be the foreFunner of defeat
in November.
