...4,l pl,p.'ch to the ln'elliseneeI' u.
Tn,sryiews ara published here tniS
no,Diug with delegates in regard TO tne
.o.i,ion Of the three .diSsenters from West
ri,sinia Their position was very gener-
,Iy and warmly endorsed, Col Bob inger'
,o being especially emphatic and pro-
nOunced. o,.ho
The following ia clipped from one oi the
.i,y v,pers: ICONS derrble comment haV'
n, been caused by a dispatch in morn
amer ~ on Saturday, to the effect that the
PsoubIicsns Of West Virginia were very
,nnch ipcensed against Mr.. Campbell,
ali,or Of the ISrrLLldEScER, on account oil
,bs oosi,,on he and two other members oil
Aha delegation from that State had assum'
.Iop Friday night, with regard to conk'
Ipp's attempt to force them to support the
nominee, reporter sounded some Of the
delegates upon the question, ana Will
ayery satisfactory result.
Mr. CotterelI, Of Michigan, while he re-
,,.pd that the harmony OF the conven-
linn had been disturbed, thought that MIR.
Campbell Was decidedly correct in taking
,bs stand he did, and said further that the
sentiment he expressed, "that he was the
couseryator Of bis own sovereignty" was
anagnfCent one.
Mr. Daggett, Of New York, thought that
the introduction OF such resolution was
A piece Of the greatest laundering on
COnkIings part, and was OF the opinion
that Mr.. Campbell was correct.
Mr. Ferry, Of, Utah, brother OF the
Senator from Michigan, gloried in Mr..
Campbells grit and dropped in to con-
grs,ulate him upon doing as he did.
Captain Belcher, OF Georgia, said that
Mt CapmbeIl's position was the correct
one, and that his delegation would have
voted TO sustain him had it been necessa'
~
Colonel Martin, OF Kansas, said that
after Mr.. Campbell's explanation he was
freely with him, and would have sup.
ported him.
This and several others were the e1-
prtssiGls OF opinion obtained, and the
result must be eminently satisfactory to
th. subject Of this interview, as it shows
cOucIusively that there were a great many
who would have gone and done likewise
bad It not been for the fact that they we're
not sufficiently interested, as they knew
tul! well il General Grant were the nomi'
nee such pledge would be utterly value
less, except in 80 far as they themselves
were COdcerned, as it was contrary to oil
precedent aud merely offered by Dir.
Conkling as a test Of his influence.
Mr. Campbell himself was seen upon
The subject, and in reply to a question
stated that ne could notsee how they were
10 turn him out Of the editorial chair oi
the ISr,lLIGwSCrn, inasmuch as he owns
one.haIl ofit, the other being in the hands
ola lapartner, who, OF course, was periectiy
satisfied in regard to his COURSE in regard
10 COnEliug's gag rule.
Bob lugerSOlI expressed himself thus In
reard to the case. Nothing could have
been more ill.advised than the attempt to
put out the delegation from West Virginia.
The idea Of binding men to support the
candidates before any platform was adopt
ed w's preposteroGs. The Republican
party must depend upon the voluntary
support Of the people. That party believed
in too much liberty to try to bind the
conscience Of anybody by resolutions. !
think that the move was trightful blum
der and certainly the men retained In the
convention by anti.Graut votes will not
remain TO- the purpose Of assisting the
other side. For my part glory in the
pluck exhibited by the West Virginia
delegates; they shoS we'd themselves wor'
thy to belong to the Republican party.
