Kxw YoEK Tuesday night
September a. 1893.
The subject which absofbs the Interest Of the political
world here at present is the democratic State cor
yention, width meets tomorrow "wednesday 10th
instant at Syracuse II is certain that number OF seats
will be contested. Two sets Of delegates nom New York
VIII present themsevesthe regularly elected under
the auspices OF the Iammany society and in obedience TO
regular democratic usage and the other elected by an OH
shoot OF the Ianmany society which claims to be the dem
ocratc organization under the style and title OF the
Society of Regulars" From Brooklyn, also two sets
Of delegates will offer themselves for seats in the
hon-the one emanating from the so-called Bradley
county committee favorable to the reelection OF Hon
George Taylor and the other from new organization
called the Vanderbilt county committee of which Hon
John Vanderbilt candidate for the office of lieut. governor
In 1856, Is the nominal head In or two other dis
trcts there will be contests but from what know and
can learn concerning the convention, am assured that
the claims OF the contestants will be fairly and impartial
y considered and judgment given in favor Of those who
have been regularly elected and who really represent the
democracy of their respective counties am encouraged
to believe that stern justice will be administered, and
that temporary compromises will be effected which,
however well meant always fail secure lasting har
mony in the party. Let justice be done and II il he
done without offence to anybody, those whom it
seems to defeat must concur in its fiat fairly rendered.
and binding the party As have before repeatedly
remarked in my correspondence to the Union the de-
sire of nine-tenths of the democratic party of this
State is to promote and secure by every means
harmony and united action, and to defeat the
spite, ambition, prejudice, attachment to tyadi-
onary and fossil interests continue the distinction of
hards and softs, and separate tickets have the
strongest to believe that right, that all the
differences which exist in the party will be so adjusted at
the convention this week TO insure united democ-
racy for the coming campaign and that the few dssen
tients will be silenced either by concatory process or
by being forced into submission to the will OF the ma

former occasions, of late years. have entered on
the campaign with divided democracy and united OPP
position Now, the case is reversed We shall have
united democracy and hopelessy divided opposition
and hope that victory will be as signal and as
glorious former defeats have been Calling and
humiliatng Division and feud by whomsocver encour-
aged amount in my estimation at the present time, to
act OF the most criminal rebellion against the demo-
cratic party What has Stephen A. Douglas done but
favor feud and division and encourage the formation OF
separate party, to be called Douglas democrats 2 He
has been Justly stacsed and forced to take ground with
the foes of the democracy for this act of folly and nsur
rection. Is the man who would revive the old and
happily forgotten distinction of hars and sos in this
State advise the splitting up of our now solid democratic
palanx and encourage to fight among ourselves, one
whit less criminal than Douglas If Douglas demo
crat" be REBEL and deserves to be treated such,
hard g soft " in the antagonistic sense of the
term, is quite as deserving OF punishment and quite
much in instruction against the party The
great interests of constitutional freedom social and
political equality and the harmonious union of the
federal family, not to be imperilled to crafty
the ambitious designs of any individual or faction II
wise in New York we can secure demo-
cratic victory the benecent results of which will not
pass away. TO do this must stand firm and fight the
battle of partythe whole patyas led and ably repre-
sented by President Buchanan against the sinister de-
signs of intriguing politicians the selfish desire for dis
tinction of ambitious men, and the snaring bitterness of
those who cherish old resenments and make parade of
old offences @
Very little has been said of the of the candidates
likely to be selected for the various Offices by the demo-
cratic State convention As the republicans and Ameri
can hay
win also choose among their most tried and trusted chiefs
For the Office of governor Amasa J. Parker, William
Kelley Of Rkinebeck, and Judge Allen, are the only
have heard mentioned. If any one OF the three
he chosen be conceded that the choice has been
wise and good one and we'll calculated to draw out
powerful and enthusiastic vote For
have heard Of nothing definite in cursory
saon Robert j. Dillon, of this city, and John Taylor,
of Toga spoken of There is to doubt but
that the choice of all the democratic candidates will be
such to merit hearty democratic support, and win
the entire confidence of the people
The delegates from this city set out for Syracuse last
night and to-day. and many influential democrats whose
counsel and good may be of value n the hour of
need have been induced to leave their homes and bust
to serve the public Every spare bed in Syracuse
has been taen and the supplies of champagne and oys
tiers which have been ordered in anticipation of the hun
ger and thirst of the delegates and their friends,
quite monstrous. @ g

New York State militia occupy the heights but except
that their tents and camp paraphernaa add considerably
to the picturesque appearance of the place their pres
ence, howtzers and all, has produced change. No

censured for the persistent threat to rebuild the quaran

existence of the hospitals there hardship the fact
that few individuals acted in lawless dees not
make it less hardship. Besides, Mayor Iiemann for
