point a committee Of one from each

Here the Chair read telegram from
Mr.. Blaine, asking Mr.. Hale to stop at

and present his congratulations to Gov.
Hays.
The roll of States was then called and
each State named its member on the
National Committee.
Mr.. Smith, of New York, Secretary Of
the Committee on Resolutions, offered
the following to be added to the plat
form:
We present as our candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice. President of the United
States, two distinguished Statesmen Of
eminent ability and character and con-
spicuously fitted for these high offices,
and VIC confidently appeal to the Ameri-
can people to extend the administration

Resolutions were passed thanking the
officers of the Convention for services
and Cincinnati for hospitality, and then
adjourned with three cheers for the

From the n. Y. World OF Friday.
The Faction Fight at CincisatafS

The Republicans wrangled all day
yesterday at Cincinnati oyer rules to
prevent themselves from wrangling,
but accomplished nothing except to
cut off Fred Douglass and Senator
Spencer from the orthodox body and
to adopt platform as long and as
muddy as the Mississippi River. The
rules were manipulated mainly to pre-.
vent stampede for Blaine during the
balloting, this being the great bug
bear of all the convention but the
Blaine men. The objective point of
the supporters of all the candidates,
except those of Mr.. Blaine, appears to
have been from the very commence
ment to defer a decisive ballot until
to-day: They managed to keep the
convention talking until, for lack of
gas to light the hall, it was compelled
to adjourn without so much as an in
formal ballot. This gives the oppo,
nents of Mr.. Blaine another night to
enough to insure the nomination of
one of his competitors. 1t is doubtful
whether this deed of darkness can be
done in the time. None of the rival
leaders yesterdaygave signs Of strength
enough to counter the dash and blus-
ter of the supporters of the ex- Speaker.
The prestige gained by Mr.. Blaiue's
| friends in the contests of the day left
his forces well in hand, bold, defiant
and confident of success to the end.-
Whatever may be the result of the
balloting to day, there can be no doubt
that the chickering's and chickering's Of q
hot June night will infiame the acri
mony, bitterness, jealousies of the
contending factions up to the highest
pitch. 1t is the struggle of desperate
men for supremacy over men equally
desperate in their deter Imination to Sc
cure control of huge party machine.
Personalities were freely exchanged.
Old friends and old time political
chums told unpleasant truths of each
other, and all considerations of the in
terest of the party, much more of the
good of the country, seem to have
been lost sight of in the struggle for
supremacy and personal advantages.
The platform, as written out by Gen
eral Hawley, might have been con-
structed at any time during the laot
fifteen years. 1t attributes to the Re-
publican party everything which has
been done by anybody for hundred
years past, worth the doing. and glori-
ties it as glowingly for the promises it
has broken as for anything it has per-
formed. Its one emphatic principle is
a firm conviction that the party ought
not to be thrown out of power so long
as there is dollar left in the public
treasury.
The daily gazette., 1876-06-17

A party that can say no braver, wiser
words than are to be found in this plat
form at time when our whole political
system is rotten to the core, when wrongs
are TO De righted, and when right needs
strong words and helping hands, has the
appearance OF having outlived its use
fulness, or of lacking that fine moral
sense which no party, claiming to repre-
sent the morality and int diligence Of the
country, should be without.
Our only hope from Cincinnati now rs
that the candidate maybe better than
the platform, and that his nomination
may not fall as fat upon the country as
the platform did.
1t is very pretty platform, and
must have taken General Hawley a
long time to write out. 1t is full of
correct sentiments and beautiful beau
tiful language. To be sure, it does
not explain where all the money has
gone to, but we cannot expect every
thing, even in a platform of seventeen
planks. AS the Western orator well
said; Although, gentlemen, as Presi.
" dent of the Yellville National Bank
our deceased friend did not account
" satisfactorily for the funds of that
" institution, yet his remarks upon
-" the busting of the same showed that
" his heart beat warmly for his native

The fort to Break A. T. Stewards
VIII.

New YORK, June 15.-Application to
yacate the probate of the will of the
late A. Il. Stewart was argued to-day in
the Surrogate's Court at New York.
Counsel for Mrs. Stewart asked that as
the personal estate left by Mr.. Stewart
was concerned the revocation of probate
be denied; probate of the will was regu-
larly done, and the papers were filed in
the Surrogate's office and that the Pc
tition of James Bailey and others did
not show that the probate was illegal,
Counsel contended that the petitioners,
as far as the personal property was con-
cerned, had no standing in court, and
asked the Surrogate to issue All order
dismissing the petition for revocation Of
the will as far as personal estate was
concerned. The Surrogate said he would
enter it on his minutes, but woul1 not
sign it until the other part of the appll-
cation relative to the will had been
heard. Mrs. Stewards answer to the pc
tition of Bailey was read, in which she
averred she never heard of him during
Mr.. Stewards lifetime, and that the
codicils to the will were uninhuenced.
Ex-Judge Henry Hilton and Mr.. Lib
bey were examined and they corrobor-
ated the assertions of Mrs. Stewart, and
gave testimony in regard to MIR. Stew
arts mental capacities. They were of
opinion that he was not man to be in
huenced, and swore that he was not in
huenced in any way. Counsel for the
contestants quoted numerous authori-
ties to show that the Surrogate has
power to vacate the probate.

RUBBER AND CAPCINE.

There Is scarcely a branch OF human indus.
try in which India Rubber mas not in some
form found its way. Although widely known
and used, but few are aware Of its medicinal
virtues and great curative properties. Prac-
tical experiment has proven that il Is a natuir-
al reservoir Of electricity, containing more
than any known substance or compound
Owing to this fact 1t has been used with sue
cess In curing Nervous complaints and Rheu-
matism that were invulnerable to drugs.
1t has also beon discovered that India Rub
Der possesses all the properties valuable as
a spe i1c for Pulmon ary complaints and cures
many forms of Consumption and Lung dis
eases Combined with Capcine 1t is unparai-
leled as Pain Reliever, whether external
or internal. Nearly all the Surgeons have
adopted it on account OF its great healing
properties.
The most effectual way Of using the article
is in the form of a perforated plaster. The
extensive use of ordir ary PerfOI ated or Por
Ous Plasters, is a testimony to its merit.
The only objection ever found with the or
dinary Rubber Porous Plaster is that it acts
too slowly-requiring days and continuous
wear to relieve pam or to effect n cure.
A celebrated Physician of New York who
has long made the medical properties of Rub
Der study has succeeded in max ing gree
improvement in Porous Plaster by int roduc
ing Capcine, which overcomes all the former
objections, causing the Plaster to do in a
few moments or hours. that which 1t former
ly required days or weeks.
Capcinc IS the most valuable ingredient
ever used as an externalremedy. Itoperates
with astonishing vigorand relieves pain i'm
mediately. Its curative properties have be-
come so famous that anenterprising firm in
New York took it in hand, and by bringing
Capcine fIaster to the attention Of Physi-
clans, have met with unprecedented success.

sweep it by 10000 and then go into Mas
sachusetts, and assist to sweep it by Co.
900. He moved that the nomination be
made unanimous. Adopted.

That colored statesman, FRED Doua-
LASS, succeeded yesterday In making a
speech to the Republican National Con-
vention. He expressed his delight at
being delegate, and announced that
" it was the first time in his " life that
he ever had the pleasure of looking the
Republican party squarely in the face"
1t seems likely enough to be the last time
also that he will enjoy the. pleasure.
For whether he liked the lo2ks OF the
little that ct the very next session his
disgusted brethren, psrhaps suspecting
him Of honesty, land, indeed there is no
