yiRsT VICTORY FOR BLAINE.
When the temporary chairman took his seat OK.
Congressman Atwood Of Wisconsin nominated i. NJ
Beam and II. II. Bingham to be temporary secreta.
RES of the Convention; and delegate from Mich
igan offered the name of Gen. f. W. Hincks Union
soldier he said who was covered all with hon.
orabe scars for the office of Sergeant-at-Arms.
They were all elected without opposition The neo.
essary resolution to put in motion the machinery Of
the Convention then made by DR.. Loring Of
Massachusetts, Ii provided for call OF the States
and Territories for the nomination of delegates to
represent each on the several committees 1t was
the evident intention of the anti-Baine men TO OK.
clude the Territories from participation in the organ.
zation if possible. 1t well known that all Of
them except one would support Mr.. Blaine and By
the system usually adopted in organizing the CON-
mitees. small State Territory has just much
influence of the largest like New-York. Each
is allowed one vote on each committee, and adlnk
ting the Territories was to give Mr.. Baines
friends the control of the entire organization of the
body. But the anti-Blaine men were caught nap
ping for the resolution unanimously adopted
before any one of them offered objection.
Then S. B. butcher of New-York sprang to his feet
and inquired if the resolution just agreed TO contem.
plated the calling of the Territories with the States
and on being informed that il did, at moved 10
reconsider. A thrill of excitement ran through the
Convention, for it seemed probable that a trial Of
strength likely to take place in the very outset
between the friends Of Mr.. Blaine aud his opponents
Mr. butcher appeared to be the point of speaking
upon his motion, but he was immediately thrown
off his feet by a motion from one Of the Blaine men
to lay the reconsideration on the table. Debate on
this not in order, and the question being imme
diately put, was carried by an overwhelming major
ity. Very few even Of the New-YOrk delegates voted
remark that passed from mouth to mouth among
the delegates, and the instant perceived that
Mr.. Blaines friends had been successful the rss
disputed point in the contest, there was loud ap-
plause in every part of the Convention.
This incident was of the most interesting and
important that occurred during to-days session OF
the Convention and it demonstrated what no one in
Cincinnati who has had his eyes open during tho
past few days have faIted to perceive that the
management of Mr.. Blaines canvass has been far
able and effective than that made IN behalf of
any other candidate. Wherever there has been any,
thing to do Mr.. Blaine's managers not always have
had man on hand, but he has been one who was
sure to accomplish the work he was set to do Be-
sides Blane's friends to have caught his DASH
ing, daring spirit and to have accomplished very
much by the very momentum with which they have
moved It did not require much tact OF knowledge
Of parliamentary laws to move to table Mr.. Dutch
ers motion, but the success with which the whole
thing was carried through and the signal discomft-
ure of the Conklng men was victory worth having.
TIE COMMITTEES.
The first States called in the alphabetical list was
Alabama, and names for the several committees
were sent up; but, whether they came from tho
regular delegation or from the Spencer boters d
impossible for the reporters to tell, as the names
were not read loud enough to be heard at any rate
no objection was made until after Arkansas had
been called and Senator Clayton had arisen to read
