NEW YORK STATE CONVENTION.


Central Committee, and, notwithstanding al
predictions to the contrary, the utmost harmo
ny prevailed throughout the deliberations and
proceedings of that body. Mr.. Tden made q
speech in which he declared that the municipal
corruptons, recently brought to light in New
York city, were the result of twenty years OF

plumber and that the time had come when the
Democracy should make and enforce a decree
that no man who plundered the people should
be called q Democrat or receive any counte-
nance or support from the Democratic party.
Mr.. Tilden but echoes the sentiments of the
Democracy everywhere when he insists on n
rigid application of Jefferson's theory of hon.
esty and capability as the touchstone of quail

Convention, by emphatically recognizing the
truth, as we'll as force. of that principle, or,
rather, article of Democratic faith has paved
the way for grand triumph of the Democracy
at the approaching election in the Empire State.
The Convention permanently organized by
the election of Hon. Clarkson N. Potter as

the Democratic party throughout the entire

by the TamInany delegates, and their pledge
to support the nominees of the Convention,
no doubt greatly disappointed the New York
Radicals who have been sanguine of success
