The Chicago Convention HIuss.

From the Meriden Republican,
 Our readers will no doubt remember that the time Hon. N. D. Sperry of New Haven was chosen delegate to the Chicago conven- ton there was 8 strong feeling in Meriden against Mir. sperry, in which the Republican heartily joined, for the belief honestly existed then and for months after that Mir. Sperry played false to MT. James P. Platt of this city.
 Friends of Mir. Sperry have since insisted that Mir. Platt, the editor of the Republican, and other friends of Mr. Platt, should fully investigate the part MT. Sperry played iu the whole affair. The editor of the Republican was so indignant over the whole matter that he declined to enter into any investigation, aad he left himself open to the charge of re- fusing to be convinced.
 Finally, we entered into the investigation, making it thorough and searching.
 The result is that we are fully satisfied that whatever the superssrviceable friends and political admirers of MT. Sperry did to elect him, it was done against his most positive wishes, and that there were in the affair 8 chain of unexplainable circumstances, that fully and uneQuivocally eXonorates MT. Sperry from any double dealing or false friendship toward MT. Platt.
 The only thing that we were not satisfied about after full investigation was that Mir. Sperry permitted himself to be the benefi- ciary of the caucus action. But, we are also satisfied, that while this might have been an error of judgment on MT. Sperry's part, he did it with the best intentions, and ss he then and now believes, in the interest of MT. Platt.
 So far as the exhibition of the letter to the editor of the Palladium, Is concerned, we are completely satisfied that MT. Sperry had nothing to do with 1t, and deprecated it as much as anybody.
 In making this public statement we de- sire to say that it ia entirely voluntary, with out any suggestion whatever by or for MT. Sperry.
 It is made as a simple act of justice, with- out any reservation whatever on our part, to repair so far as lies in our power the injury done Mir. Sperry by what appeared concern ing him at the time in these columns.
 MT. James P. Platt and his close friends who espoused his cause at the time are equal Iy satisfied with ourselves that Mir. Sperry was innoeently wronged and that he deserved no censure whatever.
 We might add that 1t is a matter of re- great that the evidence laid before us month ago was not presented immediately after MT. Sperry's election. That would have avoided all criticism upon him. This explanation would have been made some weeks ago, but we feared 1t would be at tributed 10 some campaign arrangement, which has had no influence over us at all We therefore withheld it until the election was over, and we again repeat that 1t is made voluntarily, without influence from any quarter, but simply as an act of justice.
