DEAR S.R II am Obliged to you for
copy Of tho Dayton Journal Of to.
DIV: ~ ~
~ Your article on the Committee on
Resolutions does injustice to me, as
we'll as to other sncmbers of the Cou-
mittee. 70 -
The s,so committee waa not ap,
pointed with reference to Mr. Gaddis
res6iation That could have bccn dis.
posed ofby q direct vote without any
referonce to sub committee. But
there were several drafts Of resolutions
and platforms, designed 10 cover all
the questions upon which il WAS sup
posed it wonld be proper for the Con-
ventiohto act.
The subcommittee wasappointed for
the purpose Of ofselecting from these va
rious propositions, or preparing a sub
stitute for them which would freely
express tho sense of the Convention
upon the EXISTING condition of public
affairs. The resolution indorsing Mr..
Chaseby name was only one Of half a
dozen propositions submitted TO that
committee It would, therefore, have
lbesn improper TO constitute the COM
lnitt4e with special reference to that
resolution.
A resolution Of Mr.. KelloS' indors.
iBg the amendment 10 the Constitution
elected considerable discussion, and |
considered II much more important
than the resolution in reference to Mr
Chase. That was not to be overlooked
in constituting the sub. committee.
Your informant seoms to be mucl
better posted than lam as to the actor
Of the committee. ! have no recollec
ton as TO there bong vote taken or
tho RESOLUTION indorsing Mr. Chase
and that there were seven in the afr
native anl i've in tho negative
My recollection is that there wer'
moro members present when the dis
cussion and riUa uoce voto WAS ha ], ant
that no division or count was had,
am very sure that | did not know
when the sub committee was appoint
ed whether there was a majority il
favor Of the resolution or not.
Mr. Watson was placed on the com
rit.ee mainly b0caus) ho had prepar
cd an entire platform which was be
fore the committoe and constitutes
the basis Of its action. knew tina
no was personal and political frien
Of Governor Chase, of long standing
and he would not consent that an
injustice should be done him.
In the discussions in committee, Nj
Glover commended himself to me as
sound practical, clcar-hcaded man VIII
represented largo body Of publ
sentiment in tho southern part Of I'll
State. Mr. Bingham has u positio
before the country which clearly ind
Gates him as tho proper man, f
Chairman Of the sub committee.
he had voted in committee again
Mr. Galdis resolution, was not, an
am not, aware Of it..
-r. | know ahat in the sub. .CommttC
no desired to insert the name Of NJ
Chase in the resolution, which gay
to Ohio prominent position in u
field and in the Cabinet, but was n
nailed by Mr. Watson and Mr.. Gil
yer.
In conclusion, allow me to say, tn
ii Mr. Chase can be saved from the Il
~ and indiscretion Of his friends, i
enemies will not be able to injure hil
II has doom industrously circuat,
and extensively believed over Il
country, that there are factions in NJ
Lineou'e Cabinet one Of which
hc0del by Mr. Chase, and tho 9th
by NJ Steward. Tho committee d
not think it wise Tor the Convent,
l. take sides in such controversy.
There was perhaps, not Il member
the Committee on Resolutions, who,
he supposed the occasion required NJ
expression Of opinion, that would L
hGyemost cordially indorscd Mr., Cha
in every public position which he i
oo.upicI during the last ten years.
For myself, ] am under personal {
legations to him; most cordially Il
prove his administration Of the Ire
ury DEPARTMENT and whenever c,
consistently with my convictions
duty do any thing to aid in givi
him prominence or place, it will att,
NE great pleasure to do it, Yours,
