CALLED UNIT RULR-wHAT TIE BLAINE MEN
SAY.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.l
ALBANY. Nav 1O.-It is believed that the Blaine
movement IN this State will receive fresh impetus
in the Assembly tomorrow. 1t is said that eX-
Speaker Hustled, one of the delegates TO Chicago,
will declare himself opposed to the nomination OF
ex-President Grant and announce his intention OF
voting for Mr.. Blaine on the first
ballot. Speeches in opposition to the
nomination of General Grant will be
made Also it is rumored, by eX-Lieutenant-Gover-
nor Alvord and others. The Blaine men are lndg-
nant at the charge of bad faith that is constantly
made by the supporters of General Grant since Sen
ator RObertsOn's memorable speech in the Senate
last week announcing his intention to vote tor MI
Blaine They say that the instructions OF the State
Convention ought not to be respected because they
were passed by unworthy means, namely, by the
employment of the State patronage. The majority
instructing the delegates to vote for General Grant
was q very small one. 1t was secured by
the votes of the Herkimer, Cattardgus
and Dutchess County delegates All of these dele
cations havo since been rewarded; Herkmer by
the appointment of Mr.. Weatherwax as State As
sessor Cattaraugus by that of Commodore +. Ned-
der as State Assessor, and Dutchess, winch was ac-
tually q Blaine delegation, by the appointment OF
harbor master. The snap election OF the Grant
delegates from tins county to the Utica Convention
is another example of how majority was secured
In the Convention for the Grant instructions. ms
election as Is well known, was held under orders
from john f. Smyth, after only six hours notice 10
the voters. These and many other instances oi the
way the Utica Convention was managed are reIated
to show that the Blaine delegates are fully ahsoIyed
from bowling their necks to the unit rule adopted al
the Convention.
1t is well to state, however, that Senator Robert
son and other delegates have taken lar hEher
ground in cOnvcTsing about their bOh actull'
They say that it was their duty as good Rcpub-
lIcans to uphold the doctrine that state CohVen-
ton cannot control the action OF district delegates
at National Conventions. There Is no moral Dllu-
lug force in the instructions of state Convention
they held Inc only auth0utY they recognize rs
paramount is that of the District Convention OF the
district they represent Action by the distuct
delegates independently of the instructions OF the
state Conventions they believe 10 be necessary 10
the welfare of the Republican party.
