ten members of the delegation prefer re
| quest that the delegation shall retire, fO
consultation, after which the vote shall bt
cast for Horace Greeley, under the direc
ton of the delegation.
A warm discussion ensued, chiefly upor
| the question whether this was to bind The
| delegation to cast its entire vote all the
way through for Mr.. Greeley. Some of the
delegation denied the right of this assem-
blage to so bind the votes of the delegates
Others urged that this assemblage was the
representative of the people of New York
and had the same power to bind delegates
| as the original primaries would have to In.
| strlct their chosen representatives.
| Ex-Judge Selden, of Rochester, presented
a strong argument against tying their hands
but he would submit to order.
Mr.. Lloyd, while expressing kind feeling
! towards Mr.. Greeley, and willingness tC
| yield to the majority so far as one or two
complimentary votes for him, he was not in
favor of his nomination for President, be-
cause, if elected, he would support the pro-
! tective policy, to which the speaker was
! unalterably opposed. For this reason, the
speaker was opposed to the pending reso-
luton, and also because it's effect was to
! assert what was not true, to wit: that the
delegates here are unanimous Oh this
question.
He raised storm Of dissent by claiming
that they had abandoned the regular Re
publican organization because the majority
i'll it had overru!ed the minority. He re-
newed the proposition i'll still stronger
terms, saying: ''This is a rebellion insti-
tuted because those who control the regu-
| lar Republican organization have used its
machinery to force upon us their policy,
regardless of the views Of the minority; :;
CCries of no, never, and hisses.1
Mr.. Lloyd continued reading from the
Missouri call, and charging that in forcing
the pending resolution the meeting was
doing just what the platform denounced in
the old organization, as it's demand for the
surrender Of political freedom in order that
the pleasure, practice, and creed Of some
shall be made that of all Applause from
one side OF the room. He had been urged
by one whose fame was continental to re-
sist this AS he would any other form Of
! tyranny, and stated that in the Ohio dele
! CATION single vote found there for MI.
/ Greeley was to be respected, and the
| Chairman would cast it as long as the dele
gate desired lie had felt it his duty thus
! to protest against what was the deteEmina-
! ton Of the majority here, though neces-
saIily it would result i'll defeating the for
/ maDy expressed wish Of his Congressional
! district.
! Mr. Jones, Of Binghampton, wanted Mi
Greeley nominated, because he believed LII:
was the strongest name to present to the
country. When in the Convention we SET
| we cannot nominate him the majority wi!
be ready to go for the next best man.
! Mr.. Flower, to clear all ambiguity
moved the following substitute for tie sec
Ond resolution
! ReSolced, That the delegation from New
NnVly 1ncft tfo 10 4 4
unit for Horace Greeley, Until such time a
twenty delegates shall make a request t,
! to the Chairman to withdraw, in whicl
event the vote shall be cast as the majOrit,
/ OF the delegation shall direct provided
! the Convention shall not direct a differen
method Of procedure.
The Chair put the question TO vote ant
! said it seemed to be carried A division
: was called and decided majority ranged
themselves III the affirmative. The Chai
announced the resolution adopted annie
! cries of " count, count" which were unhee
| ded. A scene Of confusion ensued, anC
! ilnally an appeal was made from the deci
! sion Of the Cbair. A count was had, which
| showed 90 in favor of the resolution and
! Z2 against. The first resolution was ther
adopted and recess taken until s this eve
! ming.
! THE NIGHT SESSION.
| The New York delegation resumed theil
| session at o'clock.
! Mr.. COchrane reported list Of delegates
| selected to represent the State in the Dele
| gaze Convention with Henry r.. Selden
John Cochrane, VIM. DoSheilncr, Archi.
bald II. Bliss, Waldo Hutchines, Tneo
TiltOn, Charl s. NJ. GO RI, Ii. B. Moore
| VIM. w. GOOdllch, Nelson Cross, Moiit1
| Ellinger, Geo. w. Palmer at It's head, anC
including Henry d. Lloyd.
/ Mr.. COchrane said That for several dis
! .ricts, not represented here, delegates haC
! been selec,ed from gentlemen present from
their neighDorhood, as near as possible.
! Mir. TOusey, before the question was ia.
| ken on the adoption of the report, asked
Mr.. Lloyd, through the Chair whether he
would obey the instructions adopted to-day
! by an overwhelming vote, that the New
| Y York vote should be a unit for Horace
Greeley ?
AS Mr.. Lloyd remained silent, severa
! gentlemen interposed to object to cathe
| chising, when Mr.. TOusey called them tC
order, claiming the floor until this question
was answered
Mr.. Theodore Tilton said ''If any gen
tleInan were to lise and question me, either
| directly or through the Chair, as to how
would vote, would remain silent until The
day of DOOM" [Applause.l
a delegate inquired il Mr.. Tousey haC
the right to hold the floor to that very inde
finite time when Mr.. Lloyd should auswe
his question.
MIR. Tousey said that as the gentleman
did not answer, he now moved to substi
tute the name of Mr.. Joseph w. Toole TO
that Of Mr.. Lloyd, in order that New York;
entire sixty-eight votes might be cast 70
Mr. Greeley.
Mr.. Ethan Allen regretted the motion
because it assumed that Mr. Lloyd wOult
disregard dishOnOrably the solemn obliga
ton imposed by the instructions voted to
day. He, as a gentleman, if he accepted
the appointment as a delegate in the pre-
sence and full knowledge Of those instruc
tions, he was bound by every principle o
honor to obey them.
Mr.. Cochrance opposed the motion, anC
urged that if Mr.. Lloyd so desired, IN
could not cast his vote against the instruc
! tious, and If he did it, it would not be re
ceived but if the contingency provided TO
should happen to arise, releasing the dele
cation from its obligation to vote AS Il unit
of course Mr.. Lloyd would be at liberty u
vote as he pleased.
The question being taken, the amend
ment was lost-ycas 80, nays not counted
50 Mr.. Lloyd Was not excluded.
The report was then adopted, and til
meeting adjourned.
An Appalling Smell.
