EDIToRIAL.-Here the subject was
broken off last night, as far as Wa-Kee-
ney was concerned. Word did not arrive
as to whsn the convention adjourned. 1t
is fair to suppose that the main object
was to get the convention organized, so
that it could proceed to ballot on conven-
ing to-day (Thursday.) The contest be-
tween the Malone and the Wise delega-
tons from Virginia seems to have been
the main obstacle to early organization.
This has been settled, Mahone's faction
being conceded the four delegates at
large, and the Wise faction securing the
admission of nearly or quite all the dis
trict delegates.
