The correspondent above does not state oil OF
the reasons why our Legislature did not instruct
our four delegates at large, TO present MI HAM
Inns name to the Chicago Convention, although
the statement Is true and amply sufficient. Mr.
Hsmlin forbade his name to be used In that con-
ncction, since by any act or volition upon his
part he has not been for the second time, nor Is
he now. . candidate for the Vice Presidency !;
