New-York tribune., 1871-10-06

fore the courts OF bn6 State, and for he
would have no afiliation with that class
of men. The delegation representing Tammany
Hall had come here and presented document, which
was read, and then retired from the Convention.
What have we done with the other delegation We
have not even shown them the courtesy of being
heard; we have not allowed them to present their
credentials. This delegation, headed by distin-
guished German Democrat, whose whole life has
been devoted to the cause Of Democracy, and yet
we proposed to send them back unheard, and nothing
on the records of the Convention will show to the
world that they have been here at all
Notwithstanding they had driven Gov. Seymour
from the Convention, and had conceded the point
beforehand. the Tammany men were too much net
tied lIy this plain speech to succumb to o defeat
which deprived them of of the fruits of yes
terday's victory. They demanded the meaning of
the resolution and the purpose following its adop-
ton and declared that no concession could be toll
Grated to the men who demanded places in prefer
ence to some of the nobest members of the party in
the City Of New-York.
Mr.. Tilden said he could not tell what he would do
after hearing these men, but they should be heard

and editor of the German Democratic organ in New
York, the most powerful newspaper in the United
States of high character and lofty integrity, and
exile from Germany for the cause of liberty in 1848

live" said Tilden, without allowing such man Is
minutes to say what he desires to say"
1t was only by the aid of the previous question
that the vote was reached, and q hurry scurry at
once began to keep the Tammany men up to their
agreement.
PROTESTS FROM THE REFORMERs.
The resolution as presented was carried and
Messrs Ottendorfer Lawrence, and Curtis came for
ward to address the Convention. AS Mr.. Otten-
dorfer began speaking the Ring men began rising
from their seats, and passed contemptuOusly out
with as much noise and confusion as possible. He
said:

The German spoke eloquently, and made deep
impression, but inasmuch as he could scarcely be
heard intelligbly, he withdrew, and gave up nine
minutes Of his time to Mr.. A. B. Lawrence, who
made the finest speech delivered before the Conven-
ton. He said:
