IsroRrAET CHASGEs IN THE ONE DELE
CATION REASON OF THE CHANCES.
The correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
zette (RadicaD telegraphs. the following:
( NEw York, july 5.-A decided sensa-
lion was created in the PendletOn ranks to-
DAY By an effort TO secure the retiracy Of
one or more delegates, and the appointment
Of certain prominent, r. Democrats in their
place. Wash Mclean is father Of the
movement Yesterday morning he was
consulting with his friends as to the policy
of retiring from the delegation, assuming as
reason, that they needed, above all thing,
some first class parliameutarian. Such
strong opposition was expressed that be
was supposed to have abandoned his pur-
pose. Afterward the delegation went into
the convention under the leadership Of
Geo. W. McCook, aud came out convinced
that it had sustained an unfortunate re-
verse through his laundering. MeCook
failed to see il, but the delegation was very
sore. Mclean then went to work to secure
a change, but coald not well ask others to
retire without doing 80 FIRST himself. Ac.
cordiHgly, after much consultation last
night and this morning, a meeting was held
to-day at which Mclean explained his
opinion that the delegation needed expe-
Tieuced parliamentarians, and ought to
aYail itself Of the talent that was accessi-
ble-alluding specially TO the presence in
town Of Nallandigham, George Z. Pugh
and others. He then led off by rendering
his resignation. ThereuPon, Joseph G.
Butler, Granville w. Stokes, Jeremiah
Williams and John I. Bloss followed his
example. and the following gentlemen
we're Immediately elected TO fill vacancies
thus created; Clement L. Eallandigham,
ex-senator George E. Pugh, Judge Hngh
j. Jewett, Senator Allen G. Thurman,
Gen. George W. Morgan. ..... -
The explanation above Of these changes
is the one given out by the members ofthe
delegation. 1t is undoubtedly true As far
as it goes, and there Is no question that
those OF the delegates capable of compre-
hending such matters were greatly dis
gusted with McCook's management on
Saturday, bat it appears that there was
dnutuSi ulullfS lOI the movement.
Vallandigham has been demoralizing
the Pendleton influence with Eastern and
Southern delegates by his lukewarm snip
port of Pendleton, and scarcely concealed
desire for the nomination of Chase. The
Pendleton men felt that the only way Val
landigham could be kept from mischief
would be by advancing him to position
Of leadership in their ranks. Outsiders,
who are in the secrets of their operations,
doubt if they did not Overdo the business
by increasing his power for harm without
securing his unqualified support 1t is also
doubted whether Pugh or Jewett wonld
not also be willing to accept Chase after
making a sharp fight for Pendleton and
finding his chances gloomy On the whole
it may be conceded that the delegation has
gained brains and influence 10y the changes
and possibly lost devotion. Wash Nc
Lean, however, who il the real organizer
of the Pendleton movement, is harder at
work than ever, and believes that he can
exert more influence outside the delegation
| than he cauld before. ..
