have no central organization IN the great melropO-

cans are only prompted TO act with activity and zeal
from sense OF duty. Hence the greater necessity
not only o. presenting measures deserving of sup
port but OF selecting for the carrying out OF these
measures such men only as commend themselves 10
the confluence OF the people. The Two great objects
yet to be ACCOMPLISHED tor CARRYING out to ina com
pleion the plans for restoration anu reconstruction
ana OF placing the nation once more on
tn, the high high road Of prosperity ana strength
ing and encouraging future, is, first, the
cngrafting npon our constitution that provision
which secures to every man, no matter OF what race
color condition. equal civil and political rights;
and second, the iundlng OF our national obligations
as proposed by the present able Secretary OF the
Treasury, so that taxation on the people viii no
longer be felt as burden on their industry and
resources. Applause.) Fellow republicans, nothing
have no right even II had the disposition to detan
you longer We all understand our duty, ana my
belief IS that II the whole republican party OF this
state, II every man in the coming campaign Is
imbuod with proper sense OF his responsibility aud
puts forth the efforts which underlie ana are
embraced within the scope OF the republican party,
that the great state OF New York Will be added as
she deserves be added to that catalogue Ol States
tliat stand forth the advocates and adherents OF
republican principles aud republican justice and
THE CONTESTED SEATS.
The Committee on Contested Seats reported on
the Eighth dlstrict,.Klngs county, that Henry s. Bel
lows, Daniel Lyster and George 9. Bennett be ad-

ams be admitted as regular delegates. On the Sec
stant B. Allen ana L. Uurtiss be admitted as the

he admitted to seats without the right to vote. The

THE NEW YORK FACTIONS.
Ex-senator MADDEN from the committee ap-
pointed at the last State Convention to harmonize
the party in New York city, presented report,
which was adopted with acclamation, ana on mo-
ihas
for in The report be declared the regular or2aniza
tion OF that city.
in a speech which was received with the utmost
enthusiasm by the Convention.
THE RESOLUTIONS.
Judge PIERREIONT, from the Committee on Reso-
luiions, presented the following, prefacng their
reading with reference TO various topics touched
upon IN them. He referred to our foreign affairs
auding particularly TO the seizure or Cuban llious-
tiers, which was done in executing the neutraty
laws, AID which, as a government, the admnstra-
ton was bound to do, whatever mGht be its sympa-
thiea AT The same time spain was building thirty
one steamers 10 90 to Cuba to put down the struggle
thoe. There was no law against this, and the work
was allowed to go on. But the Peruvian Minister
made known his suspicion that those vessels might
be used against Peru, and on this hint government
acted. There was law for that, as rcru was at
peach with us. SO the government took measures
to stop the sailing OF these vessels until spain brings
satisfactory proof that they are not intended to he
used against Peru. But If we recognize the Cubans
as beligerents then these vessescannot 90 out nor
can any go out on the other side. Hence the import
ance OF this question l apparent.
The following are the resoutons:--
