THE LABOR CONVENTION

last and In the nomination OF Mr.. CoOmbes Tor
Coroner and In putting In the field labor ticket on
the ground thatit notorious that their nominee
was not strong enough OF himself to run, aud tlat
the societies had not enough tV spare lOr him for

man Tor the workingmen, and that Mr. Tr0up twho
was present last evening" did not receive the appr0
baton OF the committee or the wOrklngmen gen
orally Tor such nomination.
Mr. GRIFFIN seconded and supplemented these re-
marks III terms not easily eXplanablc and here
began one OF those fercest, but most harmless Of
wars-a war OF words
ALEXANDRA TRoUP made long, vehement and
| altogether unabushe speech In which he claimed
to possess for himself all the virtues known under
heaven, while he could prove, lie said, that his
cusers were IN great measure, II not untruthful,
certainly grossly inaccurate in their attack upon
| him. that he did not nominate the party referred TO
| at Syracuse but on the contrary, he was somewhat
| opposed To IT, beleying In his own mind that they
had not sufficient means 70 carry out their object but
that the majority OF the Convention insisted on the
! nomination being carried and lie was powerless in
opposition. His manner was SO eXciteu during the
time lie was
HARANGUING THE MEETING
and his voice became so sentoran In Its tone that
number OF men gathered In the hall to listen to The
"debate so furious" and cheers, cat calls aud
| imitation dog howls rang through the room In
| which the co Dmittee were assembled
The chairman was compelled TO call the members
| to order every few moments, so strong was the VIM
dictive element IN their midst.
Then the chairman must he heard, but, strange to
say, Mlchae! Ferguson, OF the Crispins, was com
| peed to call him TO order. What with members and
chairman all talking at one and the same time and
the unnecessary audience outside, II might be truly
called meeting without order. lie relorted smarily
upon several OF the speakers, but scarcely sue
cess ul in rebutting any OF the statements made.
| AT length Mr.. GRIFFIN read the following resolu-
| tiOn:-"kcsOlved, That we, the workingmen OF the
city aad county OF New York, who desire rs hereto-
| fore honorable path through life; our purpose
| being the protection Of our fellow men ana the
laudable desire TO obtain far representation In the
municipal, State and legislative halls OF the nation
In view OF the above facts and with the desire TO
| prevent aspiring men and bogus conventions their
object being to choose lew, Insult the many, obtain
| a notoriety and perhaps IA mercenary remuneration
at the cost OF our silence therefore be 1t resolved,
that we, the delegations from the various Assembly
| districts and In committee assembled do hereby
| DENoUNCE, CONDEMN AND REPUDIArE
the so called Labor Convention held In the city OF
syracuse on the 18th OF September 1870 at the call
OF Mr.. Tr0up, as being complete buresque facis
| and an injury TO us IN the cause OF labor"
This was put TO vote alter another long and unin.
teresting speech from Mr.. Troup In explanation and
| reputation. The ayes were hve and the noes hve;
| the chairman added IN favor OF the noes, and the
! motion was consequently lost.
| Fierce became the battle again. 1t was stated
| by Grln that his motion had been misunderstood,
and consequently lost in that way, and the storm
ragged with bitterness OF nvectve and furious in
tent for about half an hour. Having lost this mo-
tion Griffin fell back upon his reserve force and
| offered fight again in the following resolution -
| Whereas meeting OF the representatives OF
| wOrkingmen Of this city held Saturday
| evening last for the purpose of securing
| the nomination OF Nelson w. Young on the
| county ticket this November, and believing with
our fellow men that he is deserving of this favor
botn from the people and the party IN power, being
| q bona rae wOrkingman, sincere, honest In primer
pie and straightforward we take great pleasure In
| endorsing the action OF our fellow men,
| This motion was carried.
| IL was stated that this nomination had been OBJ
tanned chiefly through the power OF the editor OF tho
