Tse Delegates at Large 70 the Csavsatisa Of
Revisiss. Al
The two political organizations held their
State conventions yesterday to nominate dele
gates ct large to the Convention Of Revision.
Az sixteen only Of the thirty-two delegates can
be voted for, on one ticket, the nominations OF
both parties are equivalent to an election, and
we therefore have now an opportunity OF judg-
ing Of what material the State Constitutional
Convention is likely to be composed. The
republicans met at Syracuse, and their proceed
ings were unusually quiet and prosy, the radi-
cal branch Of the party holding full and undis-
puted possession Of the field. They completed
their business In single session and selected
sixteen names, some Of respectable charac-
ter, but all strictly within the pale Of republi-
canism. Among their candidates are William
NJ. Evarts, ex-Mayor Opdyke. Waldo Hutchins,
State Senator Folgsr, ex-United States Senator
Harris, George w. Curtis, E. S. Prosser, Of
Buffalo, and Horace Greeley. The marked
feature Of the proceedings is the absence Of
any recognition Of the right Of the colored man
to representation In the Convention. The
republican Legislature, with its two-thirds
majority, denied the coloreds citizen the right
to vote in the election for delegates, and the
republican convention refuse to allow him .
place upon their ticket. Not voice appears
to have been raised on Cuffee's behalf, and
even Greeley made no offer to withdraw in
favor Of Fred Douglass or Downing.
The democrats met at Albany, and their pro-
ceedings were OF the stereotyped character
familiar to all the State. democratic con-
vention without q row would be as much of
rarity az Donnybrook fair without fight.
There was the usual contest between half a
dozen rival organizations from New York,
ending in the admission by Peter Cagger's
committee Of the regular Tammany delegation,
and the subsequent voting Of the regular Tam
many delegation for Peter Cagger's motions
and candidates. There were the customary
democratic speeches made by fossil poll
iicians, and an address Of the genuine
old copperhead stamp was presented
and adopted, in which the reconstruction
bill under which the South is quietly proceed
ing to reorganize its States, is vigorously de-
nounoed; the rascalites of Congress and Of
radicalism generally are Indignantly COM
msnted upon, and the people are assured that
the only hope for the country is to restore
power and official patronage to the hands of
the democracy. The names Of the sixteen dele
gates to be supported by the democratic cleo
tors were reported BY committee named by
the chair, and their announcement was the
signal for . genuine democratic row. The
State Central Committee were accused Of
packing the icket-of forcing their own
candidates upon the Convention, and one
indignant member moved that the State Com
mittee have power in future to nominate ali
candidates Of the democratic party. New lists
Of names were offered AZ substitutes for the
Committees report; but after stormy debate
and much personality the amendments were
oil voted down and the slate" ticket adopted.
The sixteen delegates selected are all, with the
exception Of George Law, Of the old political
hack breed, and are distinguished only for the
iercensss Of their democracy. The address Of
the Convention declares its adherence to the
elective system Of the judiciary, and the demo-
cratic delegates at large have been mainly
chosen az the pledged opponents Of judicial
reform.
