Mr.. Sutherland of the Wood Committee denied in
dienatlY the power OF the Convention to control the
action Of the Democrats Of New-York in any of their
local organizations. There was not q Democrat IN

Mr.. Shaw said he desired to repel the insinuation
that L resolution had been introduced as an i'dorse
ment of the Cooper delegation. 1t bears no su ii
thing upon It's Fl, nor ia its design. He referred to
