TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION
At twelve o'clock the Convention called to order
by William R. Stewart, Chairman Of the State Central
Committee
Mr.. LINCOLN of Tioga moved that Judge Ireman, OF
Albany, be chosen temporary chairman.
Ex-senator MADDEN said that while he had no objec
tion to Mr.. Treman, and would not object to him
permanent chairman he to oppose the motion, and
moved to substitute the Of General Charles n.
Van Wyck, ofsSuHvan. He said IL was well known that
until the past two three the of organizing
conventions had been usurped by outside body.
1t the habit for the chairman Of the State Commit
tee, calling the Convention to order, to
name the temporary presiding officer, and through
q mistaken idea of courtesy this not questioned
Again. body outside Of this Convention has assumed to
take the naming Of both the temporary and presiding
officer out Of the hands of the Convention Tho State
Committee has right to do this and he opposed
to it. He had nothing against Judge Treman but Cone
raj Van wyck served his country well and gaany
n the field and In its councils and besides he had great
Tramain selected for permanent Chairman and. would
support him for that position but he hoped the Conven
on would choose General Van Wyck as temporary chair
man.
Mr. GEORGE W. CURTIS said the Convention should very
carefully consider the question proposed Ths Conyen

gravest questions that have arisen under the present
crisis He had the most profound respect for General
absolutely essential that harmony should prevail II
has been the habit for the state Committee, emanatng
1t does from the state Convention TO suggest the
name for temporary chairman and unless we have
lost faith in committee he could see good reason
Mr.. SPENCER favored the motion OF Mr. Madden, ex-.
pressing at the same time great respect for and conh
dence in Judge Ireman than whom no man would oes.
the State Committee emanated from the last Convention
from this, and there therefore, no strength Ia
the argument that should receive our presiding officer
| from their hands.
The question was then put and it decided that the
ayes had it, Subsequently the nomination was made by
| acclamation.
Judge Treman and James A. Bell were appointed to
| conduct General Van Wyck to the chair.
