Show through the 1 nllre. week. It was known that it would he useless to nominate 1U..AISK unless fiery candidate consented. con-sented. When Friday night came it seemed that the end would be reached Saturday. The managers for Allison. H.umi.-uN", Al.t.l.lt and all tho others" excepting Sim umav agreed to go to I'.i.aink on .Saturday; but when the 1 Ohio men were approached they liesi-f liesi-f tilted and then refused. The Ohio i delegations had so often been accused j of belling Sin. inns out that on this on. 1 crisioii they advised their chief that 1 there would be a chaneu for him when j the break should conic. Thev planted j themselves 011 til..? platform; n noiiiina-' noiiiina-' tion by acclamation 011 Saturday was made impossible; Mr. Hl.AlSK, determined deter-mined not to stand hi any other man's way, sent tho famous telegrams to Mash on Sunday, and on j Monday IIiyiamin llAJtuiso.f was selected. se-lected. Jn ".r Mr. lli.AlsK cannot by any possibility pos-sibility place the party under stronger injunction than ho did in 'fcH, In the j meaulimo he has grown in public fa- voi'; and u hen tin; next conv cntiou j 'meets it will be utierly impossible for j i any eaiiouiaie 10 pre' col. ms iioiuiiia j tiou by acclamation. The feeling will j be overwliclmiiii; and the convention j will .'o straight at the point and name Ja.mi:s G. aim: as the linaniuious i choice of the party. If he should still j still refuse, a cominiiteii would no j doubt be appointed to wait 011 him to iii;;e him to accept. Indeed, it Is more than pi oliable that, the convention would adjourn sine die without waiting lor a report from such a committee. I' is lult that neither the party nor the country coun-try can allord to permit him tn keep out of the field and no idler of declination declina-tion can be made strong enough to prevent pre-vent the party fnim carrying out the universal w ish. Ili.AtMv IN Ml. The report that Mr. I!i..unk will shortly come out with a letter in which j he will announce an unalterable inten- j tention to refuse to permit his name to ! be used iu the next republican national convention will cause universal regret, if it gain popular credence. It is not at all likely, though, that sum a letter j would prevent the people from going ' ahead with their determination to I nominate him. On this point tho pub- j lie niind is uiado up, ami Mr. I.i.aine ! will not by able to resist popular iiu- j portuniiy. The grent leader was equally determined deter-mined to Ween out of the. field three years njfo, but if il had not been for the position of tho Ohio delegation ho would have had the nomination forced upon him in such a manner that he I'ould not have declined it. The coti-vention coti-vention hud a number of candidates be-fore be-fore it, many of whom had greater positive strength than any man except Jti.AlNE can muster next year, and yet it was ruled by a suppressed desire to place the man from Maine iu nomination. It was impossible for any one of those candidates to attract a majority ma-jority rota to his standard, simply lie-cause lie-cause the delegates were determined to stand firm until the moment arrived when the nomination could do tendered unanimously to the man who was the tioumoB choice.
