SYRACUSE CONVENTIONS.
THE NOMINEE FOR GOVERNOR NOT DECIDED
UPON.


CROWDED WITH PEOPLE.
SYRACUSE, Sept 4.-Except that the two
Conventions have completed their organizations there
little In the way OF accomplished work to report tonight
The Conference Committees have been appointed, ana
have been in OF the afternoon and evening
The Republican Committee consists of eight members,
headed by Gov. Fenton, and tho Democratic
Committee OF five, headed by Mr. Tilden. Their deD-
erations have been entirely harmonious, but from
various reasons their work has consumed much time.
Tonight they presented plan for nominating the cleo
toral ticket which has been adopted by both Conven-
tons. The delegates to the respective ConVen-
tons from each Congress District have named
representative for each district and tho said
representatives, who constitute Joint Committee
OF Gf-S2 Republicans and 80 Democrats-wl report to
the Convention tomorrow. full electoral ticket upon
which both parties Will be fairly represented Tie
ner OF appointing the Joint Committee is this The
Democratic delegates met separately and by Congress
Districts and selected their representatives which were
reported and accepted by tho Democratic Conven-
ton. The Liberal Republicans did likewise. The Com
mttee appointed by tho Liberal Republicans then pro-
ceeded 10 Wietng Hall, where they joined the Demo
Gratis and held their consultation The above arrange
ment appears be perfectly satisfactory to all
cerned. and Will result doubt, in the nomination OF
electoral ticket composed OF the best men in the
State.
There very little to report in regard 10 the Gov
ernorship question. Whether Judge Church will be the
candidate will depend in great measure on the spirit
which the Democratic Convention will manifest when
the business OF making tho nomination comes before It,
II the Convention imperatvely demands Judge Church,
its determination will probably overcome the Judges
dsnclination TO accept tho honor Without yenturlng
on prediction, it Is very pereeptble that the
opinion that Judge Church will be chosen as
the TO defeat the venerable DIX IS
generally prevalent. 1t is generally conceded that
-
oughy than any other before the Convention, and
that his nomination would kinde enthusiasm which
would extend beyond the limits Of the State OF New
York Church and Buckalew, Dix and Hartranit; what
contrast would these names present!
OF course there has been active canvassng by the
friends OF the candidates who will compete for the honor
should Judge Church not be compelled 10 rum OF these
Lieut. Beach, Francis Herman, and Augustus schel,
appear be most prominent. The friends Of neither
claim a majority of delegates. Their respective sup
porters are earnest and active, and the apprehension
of difficulties growing out Of this state OF feeling
strengthens the desire for Judge Church.
The Democrats made very good choices for temporary
and permanent Charrmen The speeches of Messrs.
Faulkner aud Beebe were short and to tho point,
and were deservedly received with enthusiastic
demonstrations of applause Mr.. Tden on calling the
Convention to Order made OF his usual polished ad
dresses defining with great clearness and logical power
the present attitude Of the party Every mention OF
the name Of Mr.. Greeley received with deafening
cheers and If there was any one in the
Convention affected in the slightest degree
with BOurbonsm the closest scrutiny failed
to detect him. representative from the Liberal Ke-
publican Convention, who came TO announce the APP
poiutment of the committee TO select Presidential
Electors was received with tremendous applause, the
delegates all standing up In their places 10
receive him. and special committee being appointed TO
conduct him the platform He seemed to be regarded
as typical at once of peace and victory bringing both
the olive branch and laurel.
The crowd seems TO greater to-day than The
SPACIOUS and broad OF tho city crowded
night and day. The Grant people, II there any in
Syracuse remain quietly in their bouses being sick and
dsheartened.
MIDsIGHr.-The Conference Committees after ex
tended discussion tonight in which the most perfect
harmony and disposition to be conciatOry prevailed
adjourned 10 meet tomorrow at o'clock. Although no
decision reached 1t seemed to be the general under
standing that the Congressman-at-Large would
be conceded TO the Republicans and the rest
Of the state ticket proper to the Demo
Gratis Two other plans have been submitted.
One that the Liberal Republicans should take both the
Congressman at Large and the IieutenantGoyernor
the other that they should have the Congressman at
Large and Prison Inspectors But the Committees seem
strongly inclined to concession OF the State ticket
proper to the Democrats the Liberal Republicans reserv
event. the most prominent man now is the Hon.
Vim. Dorseheimer OF Buffalo, although Merritt,
Depew and others have been mentioned.
Depew and Merritt have both declared that they not
candidates. The Church movement continually gains
strength Kings County delegates declare openly that
they mean to vote for him, and secure his
nomination, no matter what his friends may
do to prevent it. There indications OF spirited
contest in the Convention between Herman, schell,
and Beach, and with the probability that the contest
will lie mainly between Herman and sehe. The belief
of the better informed TO be that this contest Will
only insure the general agreement OF the two Conven
tons to unite on Church and push him forward. IL
Church should be nominated there is considerable talk
of accommodating Beach for Lieutenant-Governor.
still another proposition Is to nominate Gen.
slocum for the second place the State ticket The
subiect of Tldens retention the head OF the Demo
cratic State Committee is also matter OF discussion
and there is more less talk against It, There seems ct
present however, little doubt that he will be able to
maintain his position. Kings County, which has been
counted against him, pretty sure to sustain him.
