The New York Conventions.

he laDOrS CT Inc new OTh 1cLAOCtt'IIC
and Liberal Republican Conventions which
met at Syracuse last week and nominated
a Joint ticket foI State officers, gives token
of success in November. There was the
utmost harmony between the bodies, the
Democrats giving one more place upon
the ticket to their allies than they asked
for.
The ticket is very strong one, and there
seems no doubt about its triumphant cleo
ton.
After the nominations had been made in
each Convention, committee from the
Democrats waited upon the Liberal Re
publicans and invited them to seats in their
Hail. The invitation was accepted, and
they went in a body, the Democrats rising
and receiving them with enthusiastic
demonstrations, which were returned.
When quiet was restored, Mr.. Beebe,
President of the Democratic Convention,
W, lcomed them as follows:
"In the name and on behalf Of 100000
Democratic electors of the State of New
liant patriots whom you represent, the right
hand of Owship-and l hope that as we
have been able to mingle i'll council here
we shall be found fighting valiantly and
calamity in a common cause throughout
this campaign. Most cordially, sir, we bid
you welcome"
Mr.. Depew, President of tie Liberal Re-
publican Convention, responded as fol-
lows:
"Gentlemen of the COnTentiOn, it is the
fitting and browning effort Of this day s
work that these conventions, representing
the great Democratic party of the State OF
New York, and representing at the same
time the patriotism, the intelligence, and
the activity of the Republican party of the
State, who at Cincinnati and at Baltimore
have united i'll the support of principles
that are to restore the Government to the
days and the ideas OF the fathers OF the
republic, aud have selected for their
nominees for President and Vice
President the best, the most popular ex-
ponents of tie best principles of liberty, of
peace, of reconciliation, Of common
brotherhood from one end of our land to
the other'-I say it is fitting close to this
days work that we should meet here, hay
ing completed our labors, and unite in d
general ratification of the general ticket.
In regard to that ticket, under the circum-
stances, it is not proper for me, and l DO
not feel competent, at this moment to
speak. Later in the canvass propose to
meet you all in your several localities for
the discussion before the people of this
State of the high issues which are at stake
and of the grand triumph which is to be
won. l can only say that as the Liberal
Republicans in Convention assembled
have, with unanimity and an enthusiasm
rarely witnessed in the assemblage of
bodies of men, given to the great jurist, the
eminent statesman, the pure citizen whom
you have placed at the head of our ticket
their united, fervid, and earnest support,
so as the President of that Convention and
in their behalf pledge the great con5titu-
encies which are behind them to vote for
him Oh the 9Th of November for the Ex-
ecutive of the Empire State.
This is the spirit with which patriots are
uniting at the North. Old party prejudices
are forgotteni in struggle for country. A
nations veal is the stake for which they
contend.
