THE floor of the Chicago convention
presented a most singular spectacle near
midnight on Friday last. The report of
the committee on credentials was under
discussion. ard one of the three Grant
bosses, =" Logan. of Illinois, was howl
ing himself hoarse against the decision of
the committee excluding eighteen Grant
delegates from that State, being two
from each ofHineC congressional districts,
and supplying their places with eighteen
Blaine men. Logan loudly protested
against 1.-THE deep damnatiOn Of their
taking off. - and while denouncing the
Blaine men as retailers of the slang and
slander of the sIums of Chicago. was
met with a storm of Kisses and yells by
the Blaine crowd in the packed CALLER
les; and when order to some extent was
at last restored. he in a broken voice
piteously exclaimed "If YOU can beat
the old soldier, do it." ''Don t beat the
old soldier bv tricks he continued ;
don't rob the old soldier that led you
armies to victory by stealing hisvotes. -
Logan said all this of the "Great Silent
Man who at first was to be nominated
only in case Of a unanimous demand,
not merely by the convention, but by the
people He was the only man in the
Republic who could save the country
and its institutions despite the aggres-
sive and dangerous strides of the still
reJeiiious South te get control Of the
government; and now the loud mouthed
Logan utters a plaintive appeal against
ruthlessly shattering his fond idol TO
pieces. twas not hard, at midnight on
Friday. for one who looked at the scene
to distinguish the man in whose behalf
Logan was sorrowfuIly appealing from
George Washington without the use of
spectacles. Give the old man a chance
don't strike him a foul blow" Oh
what a fall was there, my countrymcn

THE Republican National Convention
which met at Chicago on Wednesday of
last week, did not get down to the i'm
portant work of balIoting for a Presi-
Dental candidate until last Monday
morning at IL o'clock. The first ballot
resulted as follows Grant, 304; Blaine
PSI; Sherman, % Edmunds, n; Wash
burne, 80; Window. 10. As it required
37g votes to nominate. it will be seen
that Grant lacked % of that number,
while Blaine fell short just 95. Up to
10 O'Clock at night, when the conyen-
tion adjourned until Tuesday morning,
twenty-eight ballots had been taken
with no substantial change in the vote
of the different candidates on the first
ballot. 1t may be here stated that
James a, Garfield, of Ohio, received one
vote on the third ballot, t,ro on the sixth
and one on the thirteenth. On Tuesday.
after the convention met. eight addition
al ballots were taken, the thirty-lifJh
resulting pretty much as the first except
that Garfield had ScceateCa. On the
thirty y-sixth and last ballot The vote was:
Grant, BOG Blaine, y; Garfield, 399.
Garfield having received 20 more votes
than were necessary to Il choice, was de
cIared nominated.
The convention then proceeded to nom
mate candidate for Vice President,
the first ballot resulting as follows Ar
thur. 4GS Washbmne, 1913 Jewell, fl;
Maynard, 30: Brace, =: Acorn, 4; Davis,
, WoodforI, l. Chester y. Arthur, of
New York. was thereupon declared the
nominee, and at half past O'Clock, p.
NJ, the convention adjourned sine die,
having been in session sir days.

WHAT Republican paper in this State
has not, at some time or other, tiercely
denounced the Democracy of Delaware
for maintaining the whipning-pOSt and
pilIory as a mode of furnishing the per-
petrators of certain crimes and INSIDE
meanors q? In his bill of indictment
against the Democratic party submitted
to the Chicago convention by the Puri-
tanical HOar, President of that body of
sainted Republicans, he specifically
charges that in Delaware the Democrat
ic party CLOCKS with complacency on
the whipping-post." Three days after
Hoar had thus unbOsomed himself the
Grand Jury Of the Republican city of
Philadelphia, the fair inference being
that majority of It's members were 10y
al Republicans, came into Judge Bid
dies court with preSentment in which
they recommend the enactment of law
by our Legislature (which would allow
a mode of punishment, subject to the
will of the Judges, to criminals for a
second and subsequent offence, similar
to that no,C an cogle IN the State Of Deld-
lrdro, as the best mode of overcoming
the present evil of overcrowded prisons. "
1t is true that Judge Biddle did not, in
the few remarks he made, agree with
the Grand Jury in the views il had eX
pressed and the conclusion at which it
had arrived, but the presentment estab-
fishes the fact that so intelligent a tri-
bunal as the Grand Jury of the second
city in the country is presumed to be
has arrived at the deliberate conclusion,
after mature reflection, that after all
there may be some virtue in the whip
ping-post as punishment for certain
class of offenders. In view of the ''cOm-
placercy" with which this Grand Jury
in the loyal city of Philadelphia looks
upon setting up the Delaware whipping
post. a new and unexpected field is open
cd up for Hoar's denunciation of what
ne regards as exclusively a Democratic
institution.

IT cannot be denied that ConkIing,
who was the admitted leader Of the
Grant forces at the Chicago convention,
although engaged in an Infamous under
taking in which he most signally and
deservedly failed, displayed very supe-
rior generalship in his entire manage
ment Of the struggle. No other man,
we think. could have held the Grant
column together so long and so success
fully. 1t remained firm and uubrUkcn
to the very last, and when Grant went
down to defeat on the thirty-sixth bal
lot, the same third-term phalanx, three
hundred strong, that had entered into
the fight at the start, was there solid and
compact, though powerless, with Conk-
ling, immovable and defiant, at its head
