was moi such as the COMMITTEES had power to
act upon: He was willing to defer it to the

ry upon the districts to hold their cenven-
tons separately and within the several dis
tricts. BY the action of the committee at
the last meeting, it was left optional with
the districts either to hold their conventions
for the selection of delegates separately, or
to separate at the State conventions and do
their business at the same place. The
Southern members of the committee object

out the optional feature, saving that in
many districts tney had no organizations
and could not bold separate meetings. 1t
being evident that the proposition could
not pass, Senator Logan withdrew it.
Washington Special:-The election of
Senator Sabia IS chairman gives universal
satisfaction, owing to the confidence felt
by all in his personal fairness and his bust
ness-like politics. He said that the honor
was unexpected and unscught. He had de-
elm d, thinking it wiser to take some older
member; but his colleagues be ieve other
wise asd he had yielded when it was
known that he was the unanimous choice.
He had been in favor of Blaine in 1880, but
had no candidate, as yet. for 1884. He was
pot ~lnsensible to the compliment to
himself and to Minnesota, and should
90 all in bis power to accomplish
the most good for his party, with perfect
fairness to all as~pirants tor the presidential
honor. Mr.. Sabin is one OF the youngest
men in the senate, being but forty years of
age. n ia, ia addition one of the new
members OF that body, but is already con-
siaered one of its most promising men. He
has been a delegate to every national con.
vention since he went to Minnesota, name.
ly those oflS72, 1876 and 1880. having gone
to the state in 1871. Ia 1872 he was in favor
OF Grant nomination, and in 1876 and in
1850 favored Blaine, although obliged t.
cast the Minnesota vote at Chicago for
Window.
