The Ship Canal.
ARGUMENTS IN FAVOR OF THE CHOP
TANK ROUTE.

ARGUMENTS IN FAVOR OF THE CHOP
TANK ROUTE.
From the Baltimore sun.
1t has already been stated that the
committee on commerce reported ad-
versely tie Henk e bull ia favor of shin
canal between the Chesapeake and the
Delaware, hy way of the Sass afras river.
1t was the proper thing to do. The most
desirable route, as the Sun has earnestly
contended, aud AS the report of the Uni
ted States engineers demonstrated, is by
way OF the Ch"ptank river. 1t was this
latter route that had the support OF Mr..
himmel in committee, aud vas forcbly
advocated by him in speech before the
House of Representatives on Thursday
Of last week, when the bill to aid in the.
construction of the Maryland and Della
ware ship canal was under considera-
lion. This speech, which was printed a
week later i'll the Congressional RI cord. .
gives the reasons why in any ship canal
TO be constructed across the Eastern
Shore peninsula, the Choptank route
should be chosen, and points ou' in a
clear and cogent way, tie advantages
hich that route offers above all othe rs
that have been surveyed and reported
upon by the engineer corps appointed for
that purpose. Mr. Kimme undertakes
in his sp ech to prove that such a ship
canal 50 located is matter of naticna
concern, and The statistics which be gives
| to illustrate and enforce his argument
show how largely the commerce of the
Western States would be benefi ed by
such canal, and how important an aid
to the national defense it would become
as ali interior water way in the event oi
fore gn war. Referring to the position
OF Baltimore, he points to the fact hat
the waters Of the Chesapeake approach
nearer to the waters of the Ohio river
and the lakes than those of any other
inlet from the Allan ic ocean; that
through the system of railroads having
their termini here the port OF Baltimore
is nearer the interior cities of Pittsburg
Erie, Chicago, Omaha, Kansas City, ST.
Louis, Louisville and Cincinnati, and tc
all the centres Of the South and South
west, via the Baltimore ami Ohio rail
road, by distances ranging from 1O3 t.
lO2 miles, than the port of New Yorl
State, and that by the Northern Centra
railroad and its connections, Rochester
Buffalo, Dunkirk, although in New Yorl
State, are nearer to Baltimore than to tn
city of New York.

AS STATED IN a telegram to the
GAZETTE the Chicago Conven-
vention managed to organize tenn
porarily yesterday, without an open
rupture. But this could not be
effected until Don Cameron had been
assured that he would be deposed
from the craftsmanship of the Ma
tional Committee unless he agreed
to an arrangement by which an un-
biased chairman could be selected
The committees on Organization
Credentials, Rules and Resolutions
were appointed, all led it is said by
Cameron or Grant men.
An adjournment then took place
until II O'Clock to-day. 1t is now
extremely doubtful whether harmony
can be restored. Confidence seems
to have been entirely destroyed in
the ex-President and those who SUD.
port him, and there is no better feel
ing on the other side. 1t seems
clearly evident that the third-termer,
mean to "rule or ruin" They viii
not give a full support to any Other
candidate than Grant; and therefore
they cannot expect it from the othel
faction. The famous "black horse'
The daily gazette., 1880-06-03

that we hear so much about could not
now save the party from defeat. 1t is
doubtful whether the nomination
will be made to-day, even if they
set till midnight. The Herald thinks
"dark horse'' will have to be
found; and of this danger 1t says:
In the present situation everybody
knows who Grants friends are and
who Blaine's friends are, and even
Sherman has his devoted set. Their
supporters could more easily unite
on dark horse than agree to put the
disposal of the spoils in the hands
of rival, who would give the lions
share to the admirers who have
stood by him and fought his battle.
Hence the great danger that the dark
horse, if there is to be dark horse,
will be some obscure man who is too
insignificant to have gathered about
him body of supporters to whom
he is under obligations.
1t begins to look as if dark horse
were inevitable. If the unit rule
could be sustained General Grant
would be the candidate, but the unit
rule is already as good as set aside,
and General Grant will have to take
the chances Of making up his losses
in the instructed delegations by cap
turing some of the supporters of his
rivals. There is still a possibility
that he may get enough from these
sources to nominate him, but the
prospect is not encouraging. His
friends are not going to surrender
before they are beaten.
1t is rumored about Chicago hotels
that the Grant men should they not
be able to nominate him will con
centrate on Conkling.
THE UNIT RULE.-The manner in
VIII ich the unit rule may be used to
the advanta of one single candidate
and the Acknowledgement of the mass
of a convention is well protrayed in
he following extract from letter to
the Herald, by Hon. Ed. Mcpherson
'If you will take your pencil and
make list of eleven states-New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri. Kentucky, Alabama,
Tennessee, Massachuse is and Missis-
sippi-you will find they cast 1884 votes
or five mor5 han majority of the
Convention. If voting by unit
rule were he law of the Con-
vention, ana these eleven States |
sen delegations bound by it, the re-
suit would be hat 203 men skillfully |
distributed would constitute maiori- |
ty of the delegations of those eleven
States, and therefore 203 men could, |
under the unit rule, cast 3S4 votes and |
nominate the candidate. Was there |
ever a more skillful device for giving
fraction little larger than one-fourh,
the power to con rol nearly three
fourths of a body No conven ion
which olerates such inequality of rep
resentatlve power can be considered a
representative body"
