Mr. Atkins, ol Kansas, Haul?Gentlemen of the Con vention, the principle which is involved in this con troversy is whether the sute of Pennsylvania shall make rules and lawa tor this Convention, whether this Convention la supreme and shall make its own lawa.

We are aupreme. We are original. Wo stand here representing the great republican party of these I'nlted Slates, and neither Pennsylvania, nor New York, nor : any Slate can cerne in here and bis>l us down with j thoir caucus resolutions. (Cheers.) More tbau that, as the speaker belore has said, the great principles of ; the republican organization demand that each man i shall have his vote hitnscl! and not bo bouud up by some party or power that la behind him. (Applause and cries ol "Goodl") We are | Dot here to lie handled like mere machines. (Ureal cheering.) We are not here to be drivou In the traces. (Renewed ob< oring.)

The Convention is supreme. It has ino right, aod it is its bounden duly to let each delegate here represent the sentiments ol his constituents and to vole as a man, and not ss anybody shall dictate.

(Cheers) Now, I regret, no man cai: more profoundly regret, that these discussions have beeu brought in here. They change the curteul ol the Convention uud en danger its turning away, so mat our attention is called, not i<> legitimate business, but to tho dissensions In Individual State delegations. J promised, wheu 1 cauio hero oil the piutlorni, Mr President, that I only wished to givo this Convention a bit ot political his tory. We can go back on It, if we choose, but it wo do we do it by asserting that this Convention was uot rilled by a majority ol its deli gates, but by the voles of tlie States' controlled in caucuses In llie States.

Rutherford B. Hayes, of Ohio, who was yestorday nominated at Cincinnati as tho republican candidate for President of the United Stales, Is stlU a young man, and bus tbo reputation of possessing good abilitlos and Is gonorally admitted to bo an honest man, as ho certainty Is an earnest republican. He was born at Delawaro, Ohio, October 4, 1822, and was graduated from Kenyon College. Subsequently he studied at the Cambridge Law School anu adopted the law as a profession, begin ning tbo practice in Cincinnati, whero he still resides. In le>M ho was made City Solicitor, an olUce which he held uutil 1861, when he entered the army as Mqor of tuo Twenty-third regiment of Ohio volunteers. UKNKRAli HAY KS' MILITARY RXCORD. The regiment was organized at Camp Chase in June, 1861. with William S. Rosoorans as Colonel and Stanby Matthews as Lioutonant Colonel. Before taking the Held Rosecranz was appointed a brigadier general in the regular army; and Colonol Scammon succeeded him in the regiment. Hayes oontlnuod with the regiment and went with It Into servlee in Wost Virginia, where It remained for a year, and during that lime he was promoted to be lieutenant colonel. In August, 1802, it was transferred to Washington and Joined McClellan's army, at that time on the movement which culminated in the battle of Antletam. At South Mountain Lieu tenant Colonel Hayes was In command and was severely wounded. AS soon as his wounds were hastily dressed he returned uf his place and persisted In remaining until he was carried off tbo field, in the autumn of 1863 the regiment was again ordered to West Virginia, and Colonel Scammon boing promoted soon after their arrival at Clarksburg, Llentenant Colo nel Hayes succeeded him. He remalnedln the Kanawha Valloy during the winter and throughout the next sum mer, undergoing much toll snd many hardships. In the baltlo of Cloyd Mountain, In May, 1864, the regi ment took a prominent part, and, being soon after ward transferred to General Hunter's command, it ?bared In all the hardships of hit campaign in the Sbonandoah Valley. At tho battle of Opequan Hayes was In command of the First brigade of Genoral Crook's command. Crook'* command was ordered to make a flank attack, and Hayes' brigade had the ex treme right ol tho Inlautry. The position was not easily reached, but, throwing out a line of skir mishers, tho brigade advanoed across two or three open llelds under a scattering lire, driv ing tbe enemy's cavalry. Wbou the enemy's line of laluuiry came Into viow be opened a oriak artillery tire, but the brigade moved forward uudcr this llro at double quick. Coming to a thick fringe ol undorbush tbey dashed through it und cane feupon a deeu slough forty or lllty yarus wide and nearly Kvaist doep. It seemed impossible to got through It, and tho whole line staggered. Just then Colonel Hayes plunged In under a shower of bullots, and with bis horse sometimes down, but, bravely struggling against every oltsincle, he rode, wadod and dragged Lis way througU the morass?tlio flrst man over. Ouce over tho slouch he continued In the advance, and, Colonel Iiuvall, the division commandor, being wouuded, ho was for the rest of the day lu command of the division. Tho regiment was at tbe affair at North Mountain, September 20, 1804, and also served with Sneridan In the Valley of Virginia. At the end of this service Colonel ilayes was rewarded with a briga dier-hip, and hia record, If not a brilliant one, was Islghly creditablo in every sense.

HAYES A* l.OVSRKott. General Hayes waa first elected Governor of his State ' In 1x07, his opponent being Alleu G. Thurinan. His majority was a Muall one, being only 'J.WH3 oat of a vote of 483.000. In 1*09 he was again a candidate, this nine being opposed by Ueorge U. T'sndleton, who consented to head the democratic ticket nlier tho nomination had been declined by tlonornl Bosecrans. He was nomi nated a third time In 1875 and elected over the venerable William Allen, tho principal issue in the campaign being tbo school question. The contest for the nomi nation was with Jnuge Tan. now Attorney General, and tlie result wus due to a letter which General Hayes wrote the mglii before the Convention, of which tbe following is an extract:? "I caarot allow my name to bo used against Judge Taft. He became a candidate after 1 declined. Ho Is a pure man aud a souud republican. I will not accept a nomination obtained with centest against blm." Ihe attempt to nominatu Taft failed, and then Hayea became ? candidate and was nominated and elected. He has IIlied Ins third term acceptably, and now, If the fates will, he is ready to change irotn tbo Kxecutive ol a State to the Kxectiilvo of the nation. HIS APPKARA.ICR ASD MANSER. A Heralo correspondent recently bad an tntorvlow wlU Governor Hayea, aad tl waa taaa fca described the man and iHi?tart his chances:?In the Irora time to Unit, we were eecusioniod M get, begin* ning with the high top doc of General Sherman and running down the gamut, furtive binia and rumora tliat Uayea wouU make a strung candidate lor Proal dent, thai Hajra waa the secret choice ot the West, that he waa a man of great though unrevealed political strength, a man ol great but uurecognized ability, and that, id short, he was the comiUK man, the '-Ureal U?known" recently Uncovered aad brought to light. To people In the Kant the name of llaye? la a vague and nebulous quantity. We know there must be some such man, and that he duii have performed some achievement to aend bis name ailoat op and down the laud as a candidate lor the Presidency; but the name gives us no clow lo his personality, to hie weight ur capacity, to his deeds or possibilities. We are liumliar with all the other caudidaies, the courtly Conkling, the gallant Tbariuan, tho fiery Blaine, the reforming Tilden, the restless Morion, the rlrtuous Bristow, tho hii'b-ioncd Bayard; but Hayes touches us nowhere. Yet it is not a remote possibility that this, to us, ob scure innn may be the republican standard bearer for tho Presidency. Far mora unlikely things have happened. The circumstances being favorable and my curiosity being plquod, I look a stroll into the State House this morning, with a view of having at least a look at the man who is beyond quostlou Ohio's favorite soo. 1 found Governor Haves busy signing papers in his private olDce, and when 1 subsequently lull hno it was with tho conviction that lor a Presi dential candidate ho was the inoat unconcerned one I ever met His bead an I face aro good: tho former high and expansive, the latter well tilled out by an ample light brown board. Judging by his oyes he haa rtudlod long and bard. What particularly struck me jras bis voice, its llbre and resonance. I had heard that in tiie war be was one ol the most dashing officers in Sheridan's daabing urmy, and that no buglo blast could thrill the soldiers' eouls like tho ringing tones of llayes' voice sweepiug along the lines. Tbero waa that quality lu it as he spoico that indicated the man of grit and resolution, and yet It was ino voice ot a modest, unpretentious man, who, by unanimous re port, would docliuo to cross the street, if it took him out ot his way, lo bo President or the United States. Thero was nouo of '.hat nervous evasiveness about bin in tbe presence of an interviewer peculiar to most political candidates, and he talked of tbe situation as unreservedly aa if he had no mure conoern in it than bis questioner. It is worthy of romark that General Hayes and Governor Havis Is also Or. Hayes, being made a LI* U by Cambier College lu 187&. 8KKTCH OF WILLIAM A. WHEELER, OF NEW YORK. William A. Wheeler, who has been nominated for Vice President on tbe ticket with General Hayes, is ? nativo of this Slate, having been bora at Malone, In Franklin county, Jane 3,1810. Ho Is of Welsh and Eng< lish extraction. Mr. Wheeler received a common school education, after which he spent a year at the Univer sity of Vermont, being a member of the class of 1842. Subsequently he studiod law and began tho practice in his native county. His first olflco was that of District Attorney, to which he was elected in 1848 as a demo crat; but tbe next year he entered tbe Assembly as ? whig, and was re-elected in is50. Business, however, engrossed most ol his attention, and after ho had been at the bar about eight years bo became cashier of tho Bank of Malone, a position which he held lor many years. About tbe same time he waa appointed clerk to the Board of Directors of tho Ogdonsburg and Rouse's Point Railroad, and ho bo came the President of the road in 1857. In tho latter year he was oiected to the State Senate, where ho sorved one term, being Chairman of tho committees on banks aud privileges and elections. Ho was also chosen President pro (cm. of the Senate iu 1858. In 1860 he was elected to the Thirty-seventh Congress, but wds not re eloctod. It Is especially noteworthy that during his first torm iu Congress Mr. Wheoler voted lor the act appropriating lands to tne Union Pacific Kailroad. In 1867 Mr. Wbeolor was elected a mombor of tho Constitutional Convention of this State, and ho was subsequently chosou President of the Convention. Al presiding otlicer ol" this body be lailod to acquire any particular distinction, but the next year he was agaiu elected to Congrosa, and is now serving his tilth term in that body. During the time of tbe Pactfio Railroad legislation Mr. Wheeler was chairman of the Committee charged with that question, oeing appolutod by tho nowly elected Speaker, Mr. Blaine. Mr. Wheeler held the same position in tho Forty-seoond Congress, but in the Forty-third he was succeeded by Mr. Sawyer, of Wisconsin, and he lsnow a member of the Committee on Appropriations. In all this legislation ho was tht consistent friend of the railroads and votod for all ol tho land grants and subsidy moasures. He votod lor all the measures asked for by the N'oi thorn Pacific and lor the grant of 10,000,000 acres to the Texas Pacitlo. He waa also a frieud and advocate of tbe famous Bay Hold and St. Croix attempt in 1872 which the Hbralo did so mucli to deloat. Ou tho question of civil service reform Mr. Whoeler voted to kill Mr. Willard's bill making it a misdemeanor for a Congressman to solicit appointments to office. His prominence at this time Is chietly due to the part 'ho took m effecting tho Louisiana compromise In 1875, by which Kellogg was confirmed in his offlco as Governor and the political troubles in that State ended. THE FEELING IN WASHINGTON. SATISFACTION OF THE PRESIDENT?AH BXPBES SION FBOK OONELINO, BLAINE, MOBTON AMD BRISTOW. Wasbhcotov, June 18, 1870, The excitement in Washington all day went for ahead of anything of the kind In the history of the capital, revealing the wonderful growth of the interest taken by the people nowadays In political affairs. Wherever a branch or sub-station of tho several telegraph lines leading into Washington had posted a bulletin a black maaaof people gathered In the early forenoon and stood waiting patiently until tho decisive seventh ballot 'wu announced. A stranger might hare taken It for an election day and the telegraph branch oDices as so many polling placet, with tholr usual excited throngs ol citizens oxerclsing their right of suffrage. Thore are half a doxen or more of these sub-stations along the line of Pennsylvania avenue, between the Treasury and the Capitol, and at each one was gathered a crowd of several hundred persons, whose anxiety to learn the result of the balloting was evinced in their resoluto enduranco of the hot rays
