Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1892-04-28

1t remained in pensive silence for sew
eTal appalling seconds. Recovering,
the Sherman men defended the mo-
ton with argument at times consis-
tent and again ludicrous. Zarbaugh
was practi ically alone In the fight, yet
he kicked again and again, and finally
introduced an amendment that the
convention select the delegates by a
free-for-all vote. He held that mas
much as he had charged some of those
present with
Fixingupa List.
it was their duty, in vindication OF
themselves, to support the amend
ment.
The amendment was put and the
chair declared it lost. Mr.. Zarbaugh,
doubling the wisdom of the chair, de-
manded division Of the house. The
result was the same.
The chair appointed Messrs. Abbs,
Luce, Campbell, Babcock and Kreig-
Ter as the committee.
While the committee was making(?)
the list, some of the caucus ruminated
on what had just taken place, putting
a very low estimate on politics, while
others poked fun at the democrats
present for not being in it.
Anticipating no Change in the Ad-
ministration.
One enterprising republican created
a divergence by filing an objection to
any one member of the executive COM
mittee endorsing the candidacy of an
applicant fora federal Office. Several
others thought the objection we'll tax
en-, but could MT couch their desires
in regular resolution language. Capt.
Heller came to the rescue by introduc'
ing resolution, which passed, to the
effect that no member of the commit
tee has a right to endorse a candi.

body and endorse but one candidate.
The committee on delegates made
the following report:
STATE: w. P. Tyler, Cyrus Wal
colt, H. VsnCampen and E. A. Pal

Alternates: w. A. Hanna, G. Rus.

E. Luce, w. w. Emmell, J. B. Couch
]. Garster. J. H. Barr, A. Babeock
and J. B. Stevenson.
Zarbaugh asked his name with
drawn and Fl. Hall substituted, which
was done. The report proposed that
in case all the delegates did not attend
the convention, those present have
power to cast the full vote of the dele
cation. This was the plan that wen
hand in hand with the list that Ear
baugh claimed was made out week!
before. But the scheme was so appar
ent and the kicking that ensued Sc
wholesome that the line was drawn
and it was decided to compel the del
egation 10 fill vacancies with othel
Henry County republicans who may
attend; if there still be not enough t.
fill up, then the delegation TO cas-
the entire vote. This point was con
ceded with no little i'll grace.
All Sherman.
That both delegations were Sher
man and anti-Poe, there is but littl'
reason to doubt, especially since th'
district delegation made the combine
that put in Sherman men at Defiance
Monday. The action Of the state del
egates at Cleveland will be In thu
same line. None knows this bettel
than Zarbaugh, who stoutly main
tains that the swiftness with which
the chairman announced the commit
tee of five, without even sizing up thu
causus tosee if they were present, wa
dead give away.
