SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE HERALD.


The Democratic State Convention, after COM
pleting It's organization and patiently listening TO
. lew speeches, has adjourned over until to-
morrow Many OF the delegates arrived too late
last night to participate in the party caucus, and
could not be induced in the interim which transpred
this morning between breakfast and the time Of meeting
for the Convention TO acquesce In the state ticket which
had been made up. The managers OF the Convention,
however determined not to hazard the Of
their party by leaving anything to be settled in tho pub
lie deliberations of the delegates and therefore decided
TO take another day, and thus obtain time to arrange
everything on o satisfactory basis
The session Of the Convention to-day has been remark
able for the tranquility and unoroken harmony of
OF discomfort 50 far, and from present in
dlcations ,s little doubt that the business
OF tomorrow will be despatched in the quiet aud
orderly manner Mr.. Tiiden the chairman Of the state
Central Committee in calling the Convention TO order
expressed himself extremely confident Of signal vic
tory in November and gave very cheering aud hopeful
account OF the reaction setting in against radical
extremists in every section OF the State TIE
appointment OF Mayor Hoffman rs temporary
chairman was only accomplished by the most
strenuous exertions on the part Of his friends
The feeling against him among the rural democrats
very. strong and 1t felt that the partnership he
formed last year with certain honorable pugs made
Il inexpedient for the party TO award him front in
the present Convention. It represented however,
by the leading sagamores and sachems OF Tammsny
Hall, that his chances for. Mayor in the coming
charter election would be seriously injured II he
were mot endorsed IN some way deserv-
ing and living branch Of the party, and that
his election temporary chairman would silence
any sedtous rumors that might be put In circula.

The caucGsng Is still In active pro2ress Tho delegates

leaders TO OK up slate ticket Is iaiuy be made
up sometime to-pgh but d ~ rot likely that IL will

OF the canvass by tie candidates for
various Offices is generally accepted ss good sign,
and certainly like practical Illustration OF the
sentiment everywhere expressed that nomination BY

themselves ready vote for good ticket upon which
the rural members Can agree. Mozart however, Is said

After several hours Of caucuslng tho State ticket has
