MORTON'S MANIPULATIONS.
ANGRY COMMENTS on THE AC-
TTON FIXING CINCINNATI
as THE PLACE OF THE
CONVENTION.

WASHINGTON, January 14.-There is a
good deal of angry comment here among
Pennsylvanians and others who are op-
posed to Cincinnati as the city in which
to hold the Republican National Con-
vention regarding the manner in which
it is alleged Mr.. Morton and his friends
manipulated the Executive Committee.
These persons say that Mr.. Morton not
only acted indelicately, being himself a
candidate; in serving on the Committee
at all, but that it was unfair in him to be-
come the advocate of place supposed
to be favorable to his ambition. Com
ment even goes so far as to say he pack
ed the Committee in his own interest.
Six of Mr.. Morton's colleagues were
present, either as principals or substi-
tutes, actively working in his interest
namely, Messrs. Clayton, Of Arkansas;
ingalls,, of Kansss; Mitchell, of Oregon;
Spencer, of Alabama Conover, of Flori-
da, and Patterson, of South Carolina,
and, in addition, United States Treasu-
rer New, of Indiana, served as proxy
for Wyoming, and another friend as
proxy for Colorado. According to men,
bers of the Committee he had every
carpet-bag vote except that of Marshal
Packard, of Louisiana. who was in favor
of Philadelphia, because he thought that
was a good place for the "third-term"
plant to take root
The number of votes before Mr.. Nor
toms victory was declared showed that
the fight was long and bitter, and it is
claimed had not the Indiana Senator
been present in person he would have
lost Mr.. Spencer is an acknowledged
and open third-termer, and it was his
desire to join the third term host for
General Grant and Philadelphia; but Mr..
Morton is the Chairman of the Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections, and that
committee is charged with the investiga-
tion of the manner in which Mr., Spencer
became Senator. Gov. Clafflin, of
Massachusetts, voted steadily with Mr..
Morton to the surprise of some of his
friends.
1t is thought that Philadelphia would
have had larger vote than Chicago on
the next ballot, and would ultimately
have been chosen had it not been for
VIM. H. Ken BILE, the Pennsylvania
member of the Committee, who. it is
charged by Philadelphians, deserted his
friends at the request of Mr.. Cameron,
who said to the Philadelphians that he
did not want to antagonize Mr.. Morton.

say what his views are in respect to the
adoption of a platform by the Conven-
ton; but Hon. John G. Thompson, who
has recently obtained the Senator's
views, says that the adoption of State
platform prior to the National Conven-
ton would not seem to be the best policy
under existing circumstances, for the
reason that it would be very awkward for
any State to adopt line of policy and
then be forced to recede from it by the
subsequent action of the National Con-
vention.
