S,-R4CrsF. Sept 5-The two Conventions com
pleted their work this evening, and that result u
the following ticket GOrenOr-Francis Herman OF
Oneida Democrat; IieuteRGat GoranOr-Chauncey
M Depew of Westohester, Republican; Canal COM
.,.ssioper-John Hubbard Of Chenango Democrat
STATE Prison IHspector-CO Enos c. Brooks OF Cate'
raucus Republican; Congressman at Ldrge-saihuei
q Cox of New-York Democrat The above
named candidates are all men OF hRn
character and great ability. Even their pohtci'i
opponents must concede this. Mr.. Herman 1ew
wears ago, defeated Roscoe Conkling Tor Congress
wbcp the reputation of the latter if not so wide
spread was certainly more enviable than II Is now
Mr.. Hubbard was twice elected to the State Senate
frum Republean district, and his popularity in
his own section of the State remains as great as
ever. The nomination Of Mr.. Cox was demanded
with one voice by the delegation from New-ferk,
his district having been atroclously gerrymandered
BY the infamous apporhonment law passed Dy inc
last Legislature over the Governors veto By that
law there was annexed to the district some hepuo-
Ican precincts geographically connected with II in
preoicely the same way as Connecticut with New
Jersey That is not ALL 1t also maintained by tne
Democrats that New-YOrk City is Justly entitled DIV
its population TO one more representative than the
present appOrtlOnrnent gives II, eJilu @huiAV'i'
which no one attempted TO refute.
II NAV excite surprise that Judge Church received
only IL votes on the first ballot for Governor. The
explanation is this: The friends of Mr.. Herman
were so devOtedly attached to their candidate, and
the situation itself was one of such peculiar dill
entity. that the movement in favor of Judge Church
had to be abandoned. Judge Church. it appears,
had himself urged Mr.. Herman to become candidate
for Governor. Mr.. Herman had furthermore received
from the ChiefJustiee the strongest assurances
both in letters and in conversation, that under
no circumstances would the Judge be a candidate
No one can blame Mr. Kernans friends for their de-
cotton TO him, as no can dispute that Mr.. ker-
nan is worthy of that devotion. The Kings County
delegation, casting nine votes nevertheless went
solid for Judge Church on the first ballot, but there
were only two votes more from the other counties.
The very long speech in which Mr.. Dewitt of Kings
presented the name of Judge Church was certainly
not judcious one. and it elected extremely heated
responses from the friends of Herman.
The first ballot resulted as follows: For Francis
Herman 42l Allen c. Beach, 80; Augustus Schell,
a.; Sanford E. Church, Il; Homer A. Nelson, 10;
and Lucius Robinson. G; whole vote, 1885, necessary
70 a choice O.. On the second ballot, the half votes
were cast by Messrs. Gibbons and Hayes, who con-
tested the seat from the lid District of NewYOrk,
and were each admitted with half vote.
Mr.. Hill of Chemung on the second bal
lot withdrew the name of Lucius Robin
son and most of Robinson's votes went
TO Herman. Herman also gained four or five votes
from the other candidates. After the Secretary had
flushed his call Of the counties, and before the re-
suit had been ascertained the New-York delegation
which had been previously almost unanimous for
Schell began TO change TO Herman. The Kings
County delegation followed and about IS names had
been registered for Herman when motion was
made enthusiastically received and adopted with
out dissenting voice, that Mr.. Herman be NOM
mated by acclamatiOn. Mr. Cox and finally
Mr.. Hubbard nominated IN the
same way without call of the roll.
The entire morning session, from $50 to 1890, was
occupied in discussing the report of the Conference
Committee II appears that neither the committee
Of the Democrats that of the Republicans, cor
rectly represented the wishes of the two Conven-
tons The Democrats determined to have Mr..
Cox for Congressman at Large, and were willing to
give the Republicans the acknowledgements
and State Prison Inspector. This the Republicans
were perfectly willing to accept. To Mr. 4. X.
Apgar of Tompkins is due the credit Of having
solved the problem. His motion to make this prop
osition TO the Republicans carried in the Dem
pcratic Convention by vote Of "A 81 and accepted
Immediately by reclamation by the Republicans.
The State Committeeman of the Democrats were
appointed to-day DY q vote OF lue uelegaJeS from
each Congress District instead of by Judicial Dis
tricts as heretofore. Mr. Iilden was afterward,
upon motion of Mr. Kelly of New York. added to the
Committee as a representative of the State at large
by the almost unanimous vote Of the
Convention. Mr.. Tilden was quite unneces-
sanly and uujustly attacked in the
Convention this morning by gentlemen who were
dissatisfied with the first report of the Conference
Committee, but he vigorously and triumphantly de-
Tended himself SO that his chief assaant was finally
compelled TO apologize and confess that he had been
guilty of gross impropriety to say the least
The Conventions finished up their proceedings
this evening by joining together and holding an en-
thusiastic ratification meeting. A Committee was
sent 10 the Liberal Republican Convention to an
nounce that the Democrats had nominated candi-
dates for the offices allotted to them The Liberal
Republicans then ratified the Democratic nomina-
lions by acclamation. and appointed Committee to
accompany the Democratic Committee back to
Wieting Hall and announce the Liberal
Republican nominations. The Democrats then
ratified the Liberal Republican nominations
and appointed a committee TO invite the whole body
Of the Liberal Republican Convention TO come over
TO Wietmg Hall and unite with their Convention
The proposition was read with tremendous applause
and carried unanimously. In response 10 this invi-
taton at about half past eight o'clock the Liberal
Republicans headed by the officers Of their ConveD-
ton. and marching two by two came filing into the
haJr This was the signal for the widest demon
sti~ions of enthusiasm ever witnessed IN
political convention. Every man was on his
feet swinging his hat and cheeringAhis loud
est. The scene was prolonged for many minutes.
Cheers proposed for Horace Greeley and Gratz
Brown, three for Herman, threw for Depew, and so
