COMPLETE ARRANGEMENTS,
The arrangements for the Convention
are most complete and convenient. The
different county delegations arc seated 10.
sether, and space ample to accommodate
all the delegates rallied off from the rest Of
the hall, where spectators will be seated.
: Welday's hall, where the Convention will
be held, will comfortably seat over five
hundred, and only TINT number OF tickets
will be issued. The hall has been hand
somely decorated, and every miuute parti-
cular the arrangements tends to secure
the greatest possible comfort OF those pre-.
sent, and to aid the dispatch OF business.
The general opinion is that the Conven-
tion will not lust so long rs has been
feared. The Guernsey county contest over
the unit rule disposed oi,it is stated now by
close and intelligent observers that break
up in the delegations will occur at an carly
stage Of the proceedings, aud nomination
be reached without trouble or waste Of
| time.

vention is rs follows:

TIE UNIT RULE,
as it operates in Guernsey county, will be
the principal tight in the convention. The
delegates appointed by the Central Com
mittec and those chosen by the people at
the township primaries, will both claim
seats. The call for the convention oripi-
nally read that the Central Committee in
each county should have the power TO des.
ignate the manner in which the delegates
should be appointed" This was after,
wards corrected TO read that the committee
should designate the manner in which the
delegates should be "upportionGd." II the
former was correct, the unit rule must
have full force, while il the amended
reading DO endorsed as the proper reading
of the call Taylor will not have nearly ajl
the delegates from his own county. 1t is ex-
pected that the convention will also 90
into the organization Of the Central Com.
mittee, which the opponents Of Taylor
claim was irregular and unfair. The chair
man oil the committee which issued the
cal says that the word should be "uppor
-tion," and not appoint"
81. THE SECOND CHOICE
OF tho delegates is now the only suj.ct OF
interest. The delegations will stand pretty
solid on the first few ballots, and the state.
ment given above OF their distribution
will be found to be about correct. Tie
UpacgraG men arc working hard to secure
beyond peradventurc sufficient number
oldelesates pledged to support the Doctor
.as their second choice to effect his nominn.
ton when break comes. It is impossi.
BILE to form an estimate ut this writing rs
TO how we'll they are succeeding. Many
OF the delegates are very bitterly opposed

Daizell rather than to him. The Updc.
grail men are many Of them equally de.
iermined the, other way, and say that they
VIII throw their strength in favor Of Dai-
zeii rather than TO hid in Hollingswor,h's
or Taylor's or roorlnan's nomination,
Inc chances would thus seem to bu
