a station master at Chaplain, England,
about forty years ago. From that

Gov. Tildcn and the State Conven-
ton.

- The friends Of Gov. TfLDEN claim that
they will have al overwhelming majority
IN the Utica Convention. In that event
rshey ought to appoint delegation to 81.
Louis every man of whom will be sincerely
and earnestly in favor of his nomination.
A list of delegates who will vote for Gov.
TILDEN rs IA unit on each ballot, but one
fourth OF whom will work and talk
against him all the time. can be Of no ser
vice to him in a struggle such as is likely
20 occur at the rationale Convention. In
deed. in the pinch of the contest IL would
prove TO be an obstacle in the way OF his
success. II his supporters in this State
mean Ia give him "A fair show at st. Louis,
they must back him with united delega-
ton made up OF influential men who will
not finch from their duty.
At one time the New York Democrats
were accustomed to appoint their dele
gates TO National Conventions through
the medium OF conventions held IN the
several Congress districts. Each district
acted independently Of all the others. No
State Convention met, and the delegates
at large, who represented the two Senators
IN Congress, were chosen by the district
delegates. This mode OF selection fritz
tered away the strength of the foremost
State OF the Union, as was strikingly illus
trated at the Baltimore Convention III
1869, when New York. through long Sc
ries of ballots, gave MARCY twenty-five
votes and CAss thirteen, and thus de-
stroyed both.
Since then The whole delegation has
been chosen by a State Convention; and
II the State has prominent candidate,
and his supporters have decided major
ity In the Convention, then in accordance
with the principles whereon this mode Of
appointment rests, that candidate is en-
titled TO the entire delegation.
We are not now trying to prove that
Gov. TIIDEN is the best candidate whom
the Democracy can place in nomination at
Bt. Louis. We are not considering that
question nj all but in view OF the mode
OF appointment, we think that II he has n
large majority in his favor at the Utica
Convention this ought to secure for him
the entire delegation to ST. LOUIS.
