duty after naming Its candidate was 10 pro-
coed to elect him over the Democratic can

preferences, and were ardent In expression
and in the urgency OF their preferences,

exciting contests in which they had been
engaged for the last week any expression
on the part OF any delegates TO the Conven-
ton, whoever they might be for, OF dissent
"a TO the final determination OF the Conycn-
ton.

their candidate. (Cheers.1 IL the candidate

GINA TRIO.

RESOLVED, That delegates who have voted
that they will not abide the action OF the
Convention do not deserve to have, and
have forfeited. their votes in the Conyen.
tion. (Subdued applause and some hisses.]
BOLD CAMPBELL, OF WEST VIRGINIA.
Campbell, Of West Virginia, said there
were three delegates from his State, good
and true Republicans. who had cast their
negative votes. IL it had come to this that
delegate could not come here to express
his free opinion he for one was ready to
withdraw. lie had been a Republican
editor in Virginia twenty-five years, who
had mbbed his political faith from the lips
OF William ii. Seward in New York. He
would never consent in advance TO agree to
everything that the Convention might do.
He intended always to carry his own sove-
reignty under his own hat.
A GOOD HIT AT COSKLING.
Hale, Of West Virginia, who voted
90 Aye.O defended sne rights OF his COL
league to.vote as be saw fit [applausel.
to utter bis own sentiments as an individual
delegate.
Brandage, OF Connecticut, said that the
question was not one OF free speech. No
man here will seek any delegates free
speech. 1t was only question as to what
any man would do for the support OF Re-
publican principles. lie continued at con-
siderable length until greeted with Kisses.
Mr.. Mccormick, OF West Virginia,
not because he did not expect to support
the nominee OF this Convention, for he did
intend TO do that, no matter who he should
be. He was as good Republican as the
gentleman from New York. and whereas the
latter made only one speech for the nominee

applause and cheers He opposed the reso-
luton only because it declared that men are

other members OF II.
GRAND RALLY oP A COLoRED DELEGATE.
Young, OF Tennessee (colored), supported
the resolution, and wanted to know why, II
those who voted ono" meant TO join the
Democratic party, they should be helping to
choose the nominee OF the Republican par
tyi II was a mere question OF personal in
dependence. Let them keep it to them
selves, but let them leave the Republican
party to take care OF itself.
GARFIELD's APPEALS TO Combines SENSE.
Mr.. Garfield expressed fear that the Con.
vention was about to commit grave error.
He would state the case. Every delegate
save three had voted for the resolution, and
the three gentlemen who had voted against
it had risen in their places and stated that
they expected and intended to support the
nominee OF the Convention, but that it was
not In their judgment wise thing at this
time to pass resolution which gil the rest
OF the delegates had voted for. Were
they TO be disfrancbised because they
thought SOP [Cries Of "No! No!''l That
was the question. Was every delegate to
have his Repubicanism inquired into be-
fore he was allowed TO voter The delegates
were responsible for their votes, not TO the
Convention but 10 their constituents
