which had met o few moments before, reported
that they had been waited upon with the request
that committee OF seven be appointed to confer
with committee Of Tammany Hall to make ar
rangements Tor ratification mass meeting.
Mr.. ISAAC J. OLIVER moved that the Convention
endorse the full judiciary ticket nominated by
Tammany Han. (Checrs.)
A lengthy discussion appeared imminent, but was
skilfully avoided by the chairman, whereupon Gen.
eral Foster protested against the practice OF gag
law.n The resolution was carried.
=, General oocaEANE moved the appointment Of .
tee OF Tammany Hall to make arrangement
for meeting Ior the ratification OF the Judiciary

The County Convention.

der by the chairman, Mr.. Thomas d. Stewart. ~.
The report OF the Conference Committee was
given by General Cochrane. He said that sub
committee OF that committee had met q sub-com-
mttee OF Tammany Hall and had discussed with
the latter the proper name to be placed upon the
Mayoralty ticket, and the conclusion had been ar
rived at that 1t should be one OF democratic ante
cedents The same result was attained in relation
to the candidate for Coroner. The discussion OF
the Aldermanic ticket was warmer and more
selfish, the Tammany Hall committee claiming the
lions share OF the nominations. The Liberal Re-
publican Committee wanted four OF the names to be
such as accorded entirely with their own no
ions. After good deal OF argument and counter
argument the following ticket. had been agreed

Coroner. Their names were received with cheers

Alderman CoN0vER expressed disapprobation at
this announcement. lie declared:-"I say, as a
republican, there are names on that ticket which
l cannot support-names that stink worse than
those presented by Tammany Hall In 186S The
committee have exceeded their powers They had
authority to prepare the ticket, but only to ar
range the number of men upon 1t who were to
represent the liberal republicans. / protest that
some OF the names presented there are such as no
honest man can vote fOr.n
FREDERICK B. SWIFT moved the acceptance Of the
report, and 1t was adopted.
Mr.. JENNY moved that the adoption of the ticket
be postponed for four days, and that the Conven-
tion resolve itself into committee OF the whole
to discuss separately each name that had been
mentioned
General Cochrane hereupon opened his thunders
business OF the Convention was, he said to keep
faith with the gentlemen who had taken them by
the hand and had joined with them In the support
OF Horace Greeley. (CheertJ He would trample
In the dust all less considerations, and come to the
rescue OF party honor and integrity as purely and
been appointed. The names were presented for
their fresh and initial acceptance. We're they re-
fused, 1t would be the violation OF that faith upon
which they and Tammany Hall stood in
their support % %, Of Horace Greeley cheers
were pointed out to him upon 1t who was dishonest
he could say that it tainted the whole. They wanted
no pettycism, and In the penitude OF conscious
virtue they should declare In the spirit OF '56 that
the ticket was worthy OF the cause in which they
were engaged.
The resolution OF Mr.. Jenny was lost by q strong
majority.
the ticket was carried.
The first question was on the name OF Abraham r.
Lawrence for Mayor. 1t was carried amid cheers.

thusiastic cheering.
Before the Convention adjourned Mr.. Rufus F.
Andrews addressed them upon the progress OF the
campaign throughout the State, OF which he gave q
view which was very favorable to the liberal cause.
