STRUGGLING FOR THE CONVENTION.
National Associated Press to the Star.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Dec. 16.-Members of
the National Republican Committee, which
meets at the Arlington Hotel tomorrow,
are arriving slowly. Tuey will stop as a
rule ut the Arlington. So far as Presi-
dental candidates 60, the supporters of
Blaine appear especially hostile to holding
the National Convention in Cincinnati, and
would prefer not to have the Convention
go to Saratoga. e.,t s-.
At TIE latter place there are fears that
Conkling's influence might make itself felt
unfavorably to Blaine, and as for Cincin'
natl they say that the memories of the last
National Convention are enough to prevent
any friends Of Blaine from voting to have
the Convention At Cincinnati. 4 q
Judge Aiartindale and W. II. Holiday, OF
indianapolis. are here to try and influence
the selection OF that city as the place for
holding the convention. There are also
large delegations from Chicago and Cincin'
natl, and one from Saratoga. Reinforce
ments to each delegation are expected IT,
| arrive to-day. Richard Smith, Amor Smith,
W. R. Thrall S. H. Drew and +. O.. Eshel-
bv, delegation from Cincinnati, arrived
here last night to represent the claims o
| that city. y
This morning the opinion is generally
| expressed that Senator Cameron will b.
elected Chairman of the National Commit
tee.
Grant men are apparently largely in thu
majority amcng visitors from the West, ex
cepting Ohio. Grant men say they have nt
choice as between Saratoga, Indianapoli
and Chicago for holding the Convention.
As far as can be learned Blaine is the sec
ond choice Of the Grant men. -

turned and counted that the counting
of Hayes was obtained by series Of
gross and unjustihable irregularities and
frauds which cannot be too strongly con-
demned and reprobated.
That ifany title to the Governship Of
Louisiana resulted from the late election
in that State to any one, IT was to Gov
ernor Packard who was legally elected
duly qualified and inaugurated, and had
a right to the support of the General
Government against domestic violence
and insurrectioD by which the State and
himself we're equally deprived Of their
just political rights. That the act OF
Hayes as President Of the United States
in appointing and sending the McVeagh
Commission down to Louisiana for a
purpose, and the instruction to act un.
der which it was sent was an act wholly
unauthorized by the Constitution, and
not within the power or scope of the Ex'
eCutive and especially reprehensible, as
it's purpose and motive was to carry out
the corrupt political arrangement, agree
ment and compact on his part, made by
his friends, with his knowledge and &C.
quiesCence and consent, the fruits OF
which he is still enjoying without right

Mr.. Worley's bill to allow the County

1t will undoubtedly pass that body with

and wise measure, and commends itself
to the better judgment Of every thinking
man. The Commissioners will then be
in shape to settle up the matters on
common business principles, just as they
would settle their own private affairs,

THE Xenia Home WeekH quotes the
Ashtabula (Ohio) MeaOS as saying "The
following was an editorial in the paper
from which we clipped it-not a rebel
sheet, not Southern paper, not Dem>
ocratic journal, but paper published in
one of the Ohio counties bordering on
the Western Reserve" and then gives
the clipping as follows!
SOLDIERS orphans are now presumed
to have reached the usually healthy and
robust ages cf sixteen and eighteen years,
and yet we hear much ado about the
State providing homes tor them. To an
ordinary mind it would seem as though
they should be able to stand the racket
on equal terms with other orphans of a
similar age, and that special State care
of them is unnecessary. and should be
abandoned. The truth is, there is no.
thing left of this matter for the average
statesman to exercise his tender feeling
upon, except political buncombe."
The discriminating reader will at once
conclude that soldiers orphans are be-
ginning to sour on some Republican
stomachs.

For some months past the Cincinnati
Enquirer has been assailing DR.. Charles
A. Miller, Superintendent of Longview
Asylum for the Insane. OF late that
sheet has become bolder and has Charg-
ed Doctor Miller with cruelty in ducking
refractory, patients Doctor Miller has
sued the Enquirer for $4,000 damages.
The Enquirer don't like Doctor Miller nor
his brother the lawyer, 1. J. Miller. The
Millers are straight forward true blue
Democrats. Isaac j. Miller was Chair
man of the Democratic executive com
mittee of Hamilton county two years ago
last fall, and General Banning and Mil
ton Sayler were both elected, the former
beating Stanley Matthews, when the dis
triot was really Republican. 1t was like"
Miller's untiring, indomitable energy
and iron will that organized victory. 1t
was not done so last fall and we lost both
districts. A lion leader is worth great
