mittee met this morning, with Sinclair lousey
as president. TouSey invited delegates from
other districts, who thought that his delegation
had been unjustlv treated by the convention, to
take part in their deliberations.
Ihos. L. Stewart said that the New York del
egation had not lett the convention unadvisedly.
The keeping out of the delegation was one of
the wickedest and basest frauds ever devised by
any senator, or any other man. He wanted it
understood they would never go back to the con-
Yention on its present footing. He referred to
the result of the Massachusetts convention to
show how the people rose against dictaton from
authority.
Mr.. Tonsey, interrupting, said :-"Members
OF convention and act us whippers-in"
Milo Goodrich, of the Tompkins county dele
gates, counselled moderation, and said, although
his delegation had acted with the Greeley wing,
they could not leave the convention.
Ira A. Miller of New York urged the delegates
to come out distinctly,not only against the Tam
many hall corruption, but against shoddy and
oppression in our own party.
Inc general feeling manifested was very bitter
against the Conkling party, and the meeting adj
Jonrned to meet in larger hall this noon.
The Greeley delegation rG-asSembled this noon
and elected Sinclair Tousey president.
Gen. George w. Palmer moved the appoint
ment of committee on resolutions

their hats and leave the convention. He de-
clared that the nomination of Horace Greeley
for governor, last fall, was defeated by Tam
many influence, and accused Collector Murphy
of purchasing delegates

Greeley as the father of the republican party,
declared that the present fight was between the
people and office holders all over the state. and
that Henry Clews had brought money from
Wall street to give office holders the victory over
the people. He severely denounced Andrew d.
White, the president of the convention, for his
uniairness in making the committees, and called
upon him to resign tue presidency OF the Cornell
university, for the people could not afford to
$500
