SENATOR SABIN. The attention of Senator Sabin having been called to the published statement, originating in Minnesota, that, he had been elected a delegate to the National convention on a pledge or supposition that he would support Blaine, he remarked that on the contrary no such issue had been made, and that it had been well-known for a year that his first choice had been Arthur, on the ground that he would be strong before the people.

He said he was friendly to Blaine, but that he had been assured by Wm. Walter Phelps that he, was not only not a candidate but did not want to be a candidate. There had been no doubt about his preference anywhere. He was not tied to anyone, and would exercise his best judgment in aiding the selection of a candidate that could and would be elected. THE CAMERON-TURNER ENCOUNTER There was an exaggerated account published this morning, of an encounter last night between George Turner and Brewster Comeron, of Pennsylvania, a nephew of Attorney General Brewster.

The altecation grew out of a report made by Cameron, a special agent of the Department of Justice, of an investigation into the accounts of Paul Strobach, an assistant to Turner. When the men met in the rotunda of the hotel last night Turner struck Cameron with his fist and the latter retaliated with his cane.

The bulletin announcing the purport of the Republican platform relative to the tariff adopted at Chicago created more excitement among members of the House than any other bulletin from to-day's meeting of the Convention. Morrison says the plank means that the Republicans will keep all they have got and get all they can. They raise the tax on tin plate, cotton, ties and a few other things. Mr.

Hewitt, of New York, Bays the action of the Republicans means that they want to humbug the people.

Judge Foraker then paid a brilliant tribute to the ability of Ohio's favorite A. Parker, Passenger Agent for the Santa Fe Road at St. Louis, was in the drums, and although five minutes had passed, the enthusiasm of the Blainites knew no end, and the roar of their applause still continued. At last the President, who had been looking with interest upon the scene before him, seized his gavel and gave some raps therewith. The crowd was silent a moment and then, regardless of the Chairman rapping, again burst out in another shout in honor of their candidate.

After the Chairman had succeeded in producing comparative quiet, Judge West addressed the convention, who, in a most eloquent speech presented the name of James G. Blaine. He spoke of the "plumed knight" as the grand civil hero, whom some of the people would desire and will follow with triumphing enthusiasm on the march to certain victory. Cheers. Our candidate must be a representative of that living Republicanism which demands the amplest industrial protection, whereby labor shall be relieved of mendicant competition from foreign lands a as embodied in the platform of principles adopted to-day.
