DISCUSSION IN OHIO DELEGATION.
The Ohio delegation, this morning. had a
free and harmonious discussion, resulting
in substantial unauimity as to the policy to
be adopted in shaping the platform of the
Convention. Gen. John G. Lee was elected
to represent Ohio on the committee on Res
olutions. Mr.. Hassaurek was warmly sup
ported by the Cincinnati delegatian for that
position.
The following selections were made
unanimously by the Ohio delegation for
representation in the Convention: For
committee on Credentials, James Scott
committee on Permanent Organization,
Israel Green; committee on Order of Busi-
ness, Thomas l.. Young; for member of the
National Central Committee, B. r. Cowan,
Coates Kinney.
UNANIMOUS FOR GRANT.
Very little is said about the nomination
for President, it being conceded on all sides
that Grant will be nominated by acclama-
ton.
THE VICE PRESIDENCY.
A very bitter fight is going on among
delegates to secure the nomination for
Vice President. The friends of Governor
Fenton, of New Y York, are in full force, in
Guiding many noted LOBBYISTS from Alba
ny, and are working industriously to Sc
cure the success of their candidate. They
appear, however, to have no real strength
among Northern delegates, outside of their
own State. Their only hope seems to be to
secure vote among Southern States, and to
accomplish this they proffer large sums of
money to aid the Republican cause in those
States. This plan has not, therefore, sue
ceeded very well. Money is flourished, aud
great efforts are made to get up strong
local feeling in favor of Fenton. Yester-
day everything indicated that the fight
would be between Wade. Colfax and Ham
lin, with the prospects very favorable to
the former. The arrivals last evening, how
ever, were very unfavorable to Colfax, and
this morning he appears to have less
chances of success than yesterday. Sena-
tor Wilson has some strength among the
New England delegation and few South
ern States, but his prospects are
not even medium. The New England
delegates are very much divided
between Wilson, Hamlin, Buckingham and
Wade. Efforts were made to harmonize
the different factions, last night, but they
failed, and the result is that each State will
go into the Convention supporting its own
candidate. The New Hampshire delega-
ton held meeting this morning, and de-
cided to support Wade. The Pennsylva-
MIA delegation are also very much divided,
and after the first ballot for Curtin
the friends of Wade claim they will
carry three-fourth of the delegates
Both the Cameron and Forney factions are
using their influence to bring about such a
result. The northwestern delegates are di-
vided between Wade a-d ColfaX, with q
strong preponderence in favor of the for
mer. On the whole, indications this morn
ing are that the fight will be narrowed
down between Wade and Hamlin. The
latter's friends have no organization, hence
tie chances are against them. Mr.. Wade's
friends, who are alert and working in-
dustriously, claim this morning that he will
get 175 votes on the first ballot.
THE PLATFORM.
The most important part of the Conven-
ton, that of framing a platform, has been
very little discussed at yet. The Eastern
delegates ONE very strong in favor of the
adoption Cf a resolution denouncing the
course of those Republican Senators who
voted for the acquital of the President; but
this does not meet with much success or
encoura cement from the West. A resolu-
tion will undoubtedly be adopted sustain
ing impeachment and standing by the acts
of Congress.
THE RECREANT SENATOR'S.
Although there is every prospect that
there will be stormy time i'm the Conven-
tion over the resolution reading the seven
Republican Senators who sustained the
President out of the party, General Logan
and Senator Thayer are both here advo-
eating such resolution.
