THE .YALLANDIGHAM QUESTION =
WHAT WILL THEY DO WITH HIM
WHAT HE THINKS ABOUT 1T.
The only question discussed among
delegates, to-day, is the admission of
Vallandigham. There are those who
assert that he must be excluded, and
those who assert, with equal deter
mination, that he must be admitted.
The objection is not to him personal
", but he is named as a representative
man of what were known as Peace
Democrats during the war, and when
it is said that men are opposed to his
admission, it is meant that they are
opposed to all who were not in favor
of the late war as means of preserv-
ing the Union This includes Ben.
and Fernando Wood, from New York,
and many from other States who have
agreed with them politically during
the past five years. .j.....
The opposition to Vallandigham is
greatest among the Ohio delegates.
A majorityof the Ohio Democrats are
in favor of his admission, but Lew.
CampbelPs delegation and a minority
of the Democrats are strongly against
him. 4al5d f#a IS
General Steedman has drawn up
resolution, which he says he will offer
Immediately after the temporary or
ganization of the Convention, to ex-
clude all from the South who were
originally secesh, und all from the
North who, during the war, were con-
victed of disloyal acts, or countenaneed
resistance to the draft. This is in
tended especially for Vallandigham.
Governor Orr, of South Carolina, is
said to be strongly in favor of it, and
the names of most of the leading
Southerners are quoted in the same
connection.
/ called on Vallandigham this af-
ternoon to ascertain what were his
views on that subject. / found his
rooms filled with friends who appear
ed to be extremely glad to see him,
and many who had never seen him
before were assuring him how glad
they were to meet him. Judging
from the number of delegates who
honored him In this way, it will be
hard work to exclude him from the
Convention.
/ asked him how about this talk
against him. He replied that it was
all clamor, and would amount to
nothing. But" said / they say
they Will put you out. They can't
do it,'' said he; " my credentials are
in my pocket, and they. are certified to
just as others. are; whoever attempts
to put me out will have hard work of
it; if they rule me out, they will have
to rule out a majority of the Demo-
Gratis from Ohio, all from Missouri,
all from Maryland, and all from Ken
lucky, for of course their resolutions
could not mention names, but would
have to apply to class.
| then told him that | heard of
resolution being suggested in the
Ohio delegation that no man from
Ohio should speak without the con-
sent of majority of the delegates.
He said he had heard of this too,
but it wouldn't do any good; if he
wanted to speak he would speak, but
he did not come here to make
speeches, and probably should not
have word to say in the Convention.
As | left him, he said to me, You
can say that / win be in the Conven-
ton, and that all attempts to keep me
out will fail. = a iem M
Thus matters stand in regard to
what seems to be the most important
topic of discussion in Convention
circles to-day. re fa
Mr.. Pendleton, of Ohio, will not
be here; neither will Mr.. Allen nor
Mr.. Ewing. If the latter were here,
he would be made President of the
Convention. Frank Blair will not be
here, either. He is busy on his cot
ton plantation. aa
Mr.. Winthrop, of Massachusetts,,
and General John A. Dix, are named
in connection with the Presidency of
the Convention; also Mr.. Ashman,
who was President of the Chicago Re
publican Convention, in 1860.
It is evidently the intention of the
leaders of the Convention to have the
session as short as possible. Many
say it will be concluded by Wednes-
day evening, but that is hardly possi-
BILE in view of the fact that it will re-
quire all of Tuesday to effect per-
manent organization. sisg.rs1 er
1t is the intention to have both the
Democrats and Conservative Republi-
cans efseaeh State represented In the
committees. The two parties will,
however, caucus separately until the
Conventions is organized. AA
