Mr.. Frye Of Maine then submitted his
proposition for the new basis of representa-.
ton In the next convention which was dis
cussed at crest length by various mem bers.
Logan argued that the resolution proposed
was not such as the committee had power tc
act upon. He was willing to defer it to the
next national committee, for that was g
body that had the right to consider it
Clayton opposed the plan. and Mage.
moved that the whole matter be referred to
the next national convention. Ma9ee'.
motion was finally agreed to-yeas %, nays
is.
The plan was finally referred to the con
vention by decisive vote, 80 that the ratio
of delegates and the size of the next con.
vention remains as it was. Senator Logan
proposed q resolution, making it mandate
~ upon the districts to hold their cenven
tons separately and within the several dis
triots. BY the action Of the committee a.
the last meeting, it was left optional witt
the districts either to hold their convention!
for the selection of delegates separately, o.
to separate at the State conventions and d.
| their business at the same place. I'll,
Southern members of the committee object
ed to Senator Logan's resolutions to strik'
| out the optional feature, saying that i,
many districts tney had no ORGANIZATIONS
and could not hold separate meetings. l
being evident that the proposition could
! not pass, Senator Logan withdrew it.
Washington Special:-The election Of
Senator Saba as Chairman gives universa
by all in his personal fairness and his bust
ness-like politics. He said that the bono,
was unexpected and unsought. He had de
elm d, thinking it wiser to take some olde
member; but his colleagues be ieve other
wise. aHd he had yielded when it wa,
known that he vas the unanimous choice
He had been in favor of Blaine in 1880, bu
had no candidate, rs yet, for 1884. He wa
not insensible to the compliment t.
himself and to Minnesota, and SHOULD
do all in his power to accomplish
the most good for his party, with perfec
fairness to all aspirants for the presidential
honor. Mr.. Sabin is one OF the younges
men in the senate, being but forty years O
age. and is, ia addition one Of the nev
members OF that body, but is already con
sidered one of its most promising men. HI
has been delegate to every national con
vention since he went to Minnesota, name
ly those f1872, 1876 and 1850. having gon,
to the state In 1871. In 1872 he was in fave
| OF Grants nomination., and in 1876 and il
1880 favored Blaine, although obliged t,
cast the Minnesota vote At Chicago 10
