Syracuse ConventiOn--FulI and compIete Re-
port of Its Proceedings, by our Special
Reporter.
SYRACUSE, Sept. 5, IL O'Clock, p. M
The day has past Yes, the great day which the
twenty sovereign States had marked as one des-
tined TO carry by lie actions, political revolution
throughout the land, has rolled away The 9th OF
September 1913, is more ;and now let ms chroni-
Gle the political dolngs OF this day. At o'clock this
A. M, the secret caucus brought out a direct an.
swer TO the question OF endorsing Mr. Van Buren, for
the next presidency. Ex-Governor Marcy and Sa-
muel Young both came out, contrary totheir former
expressed preferences, and sustained the measure to
the utmost of their ability Mr.. X. d. Davis, the
"rearer," OF Dutchess county, was by general con.
sent made prime mover of the caucus, and driller.
general OF the iorces-Gt is said Mr.. Davis has for
the last six months expressed his preference for Mr.
Cahoun) Alter "a whole night of violent manuyer-
ing the convention system OF appointing the dele
gates to the National Convention was agreed upon.
Al 10 o'clock, A. M the members of the conven-
lion began marching of in squads for the Metho-
dist Church, the building which had been selected
by the Democratic Association, of Syracuse, for
holding the convention. This church is very beau
uful brick building capable OF accommodating about
one thousand people. 1t is situated on the suburbs
OF the village, about half a mile from Syracuse
House and Railroad Depot.
AT precisely IL O'clock the Convention was called
to order by appointing Mr.. Hathaway, of Chemung
county, chairman, pro tenn, and Mr.. Legar, of Or
leans county, and Mr. Strong of Rensselaer, county,
secretaries, pro tenn The roll was then called over
Qrom the Albany Argus,) and one hundred and
twenty hvemembers answered TO their names. Thu
were three absences, viz: one from Rockland, one
from Green, and one from Couilland. The nexI
motion was that the delegates proce.d at once to
hand IN to The Secretaries their credentials. No
sooner was this motion made than some sixty mem.
bers were upon the floor, calling out the top OF
their voices, Mr.. Chairman" says one, 81 have
no credentials, the meeting in my county was so
slim they did not do their business up in parmenta,
rytorm Says another, &c havn't any credentials,
but was told o. my neghbors that the folks wanted
me to go TO Syracuse" Another, " don't know
what TO do, have always attended to The Demo-
cratic Interests OF my county without any meetings
Similar excuses were given tor the non-possesson OF
credentials by about twe-thirds of the convention
motion was then made and carried that all mem
oers whose seats were not contested, should be Ie-
celved this matter being settled, motion was
made that the convention proceed TO ballot for Pre-
sldent, and the following the result OF the vote:
