Mr.. KIERNAN, having concluded the reading, ad-
vanced to the front OF the platform and said he
felt pleased to SO large an assemblage here to-
night to ratify the nominations OF the democracy
OF this State. The democracy or the city OF New
pose for which they had assembled here assured
him that, no matter how the democracy might be
divided on local issues. they were united on gen.
eral issues and on the principles OF true democ-
racy, as well as In the EFFORT to wrest
the State from the hands that now con-
troll 1t. (Applause.) 1t was to be regretted that
the democracy OF this great city and OF this great
State could not be united, and that they could not
OF principles. There were $4,000 or 1000 demo-
cratic voters in New York, who, he was proud to
say, would act as unit on .he State ticket. But
he was proud to say that there was a majority OF
these democrats VINO, while anxious to act IN har-
mOny with the honest democrats of the State had
yet resolution and honor enough to refuse to act
matters to the whole democracy OF the metropolis.
(Applause.) They desired no more display OF arro-
gahce from Tammany Hail. and
IT WAS THIS RESOLVE
that had divided the democracy OF New York city
on local issues, though they were united on State
issues In order to more fully be able to fight the
battles OF the independent and honest democracy
he thought II would be better II our State and mu-
nicipal elections were separated and in this way
the local issues OF the city would not be so likely to
be swallowed up in tue greater issues of the State
and lost sight OF. Then no "hall'' should dictate,
and the true democracy coud-as they would this
fail-vote honestly and discriminatory for the
honest candidates OF any hall. tAppause.) He

democrats OF the whole State might fight again the

Thought, would show to any rational mind that the
democratic party can, when united and with
proper candidates before the people,
OBTAIN AND HOLD CONTROL
of the government OF the Empire State. (Applause)
1t was true we were defeated In 1871 by a large
by the enormous majority OF $1,000; but all this
was owing to the lack OF harmony In the councils
chiefly ana by the S corrupt acts oi this same Tam
control. Looking at the vote OF the State ior 1868
as compared with that OF 1872 he found that while
the republican vote had not increased to any note
worthy degree the vote OF the whole democracy
had fallen of by 900 votes, showing concusively
that large proportion Of the honest democrats
had reused to come out at all But he felt assured
that history was not again going to repeat
Itself in that for this fall. (Applause The de-
State gentleman who was thoroughly fitted lor
that high office by experience, education and
nominated lor Comptroller of the State Asher P.
Nichols lapplause)-a gentleman who had been
always an unninching democrat, and who by his
sterling ability had placed himself in the front
rank or the party. And, in like manner, all the
other positions we're TO be provided for by men OF
the soundest ability and honesty OF mind and pur-
pose; and he believed that with Nichols and Raines
and Wers and Jackson the democracy OF the En-
pirc state could
on tue Attn OF November next. (Applause And
they had glorious examples fresh before them.
Ohio by prudence and wisdom in her councils has
been again won back to her old democratic al
legiance. (Applause) Iowa, long lost to the dem
ocracy Is again within her folds, and distant Ore
gon, too, was wheeling into line. (Applause.) With
these examples, worth many votes to us, and with
our State ticket OF candidates, there is reason
why this great State should not be redeemed this
fall and again stand IN the foremost line OF the ad-
vancing column OF States to win the battles
o the democratic faith and stand out for the
whole regenereted Union. loud applause) He
would close by calling their attention to some OF
the local issues which should attract attention in
the coming contest, and which should be consid.
cred as OF vast Importance In this election.
There was, ne SAID, at the present time in New

The manner IN which the State government was

characterized by an almost suicidal parsimony

life, and was largely due to the fact OF the State
