Casting About for a Leader.
GEORGE C. GoRHAM TO 8f THE ENGINEER
Thurlow Weeds Resolutions
Against Grant.


-
Of the disclosure Of the purpose to enforce
the unit rule at the outset, and by its aid
to capture the temporary organization Of
the convention. 1t has aroused Q feeling
which alarms him. He is utterly without
experience as . parliami ~ntarian. or ever q
public speaker, and fears he cannot con-
troll the convention in the turbulent scenes
which an attempt at bulldosing would pro-
woke. He is casting about for somebody
he has hit upon Geo. G. Gorham. OF Cali
fornia. Gorham has experience, skill,
boundless sudscity, and unmeasured reck-
lessness. He deserted the Republican
party in his own State last summer, and
voted and worked for the Democratic
ticket, but he never gave up his place in
the National Republican Committee, and
that body never thought him of enough
importance to be kicked out. If Cameron
should carry out this scheme, Gorham
would now become Of the first Importance,
and the National Convention might be put
into the hands Of the California adventurer,
who has nc standing at home, and is not
recognized by his party in his own State,
who six months ago was on the Democratic
stump, and. as his last change, has just
been elected q delegate from California to
the Greenback Convention.
