The illusions to Gov. Tilden and reform IN the
State Government were applauded, though not so
loudly rs might have been expected with the con-
cusion of Mr.. Magoncs address, ex-Gov Beach
nominated f. o. Perrin of Queens A. A. Gordon Oh
Delaware and j. Hall, for Secretaries OF the Con
vcnton, and they were elected.
/ Assemblyman James DAILY of New-York offered
resolution providing that the rules of the Assembly
of 1879 be the rules of the Convention so far as they
would apply. This was carried.
CALLING THE ROLL
Senator John c. Jacobs interrupted further proceed
ing by calling for the reading of the roll. Then MI
Perrin, who has called the roll of every Democratic
convention for the last generation, began at the head
of the list. 1t was roll full of food forreminlscence
and reflection. 1t disclosed relics of the Tweed
regime alongside of fresh Tiden recruits, strikers
from the Legislature and honest country farmers,
sbrewd manipulators from the cities, young
reform Democrats who are filled with schemes Tor
the healing of the nation, and politicians who en-
loved the favor of Tweed and have been above
want ever since. The roll-call proceeded with It's
usual monOtony until the Secretary called out tlic
First District of New-York, an announcement lor
which the Convention was on tip-toe. Some OF thc
contestng delegates had, through some miscarriage
of the plans of the Tammany leaders, gained access
to the floor and the galleries were packed
with them and their friends. On the floor were Sena
tor Ledwith and James Hayes, while i'll the gallery
the Hon. John MorriSsey sat, surrounded by his re-
tainers. who made powerful clique
Ira Shafer rose and said that he claimed to repre-
sent. with his colleagues, the First District. Ills
appearance was greeted with applause from his SYM
pathizers, who not only gathered about Mr.. Nor
hut had Ieon scattered
the galleries.
Mr.. Shaw of Otsego moved that all such appllca-
lions be referred to the Committee on CREDENTIALS
which was carried. Then followed a series OF anti
Tammany demonstrations. As each Assembly us
trct was called, one of the malcontents arose anu
presented the credentials of the contestlng deieea-
ton to be greeted with stormy applause In Tue
same way the credentials of the Meegan wing OF the
party in Albany were offered, and those OF Willard
Johrson's delegation from Oswcgo, which was badly
beaten in the Assembly District Convention
Mr. Shafer who arose again lin fact he DID nttlc
but arise during the remainder of the session. was
interrupted by John Kelly, who got up and slgnaiea
the Chair in his blunt way, and raised the point OF
ORDER that Mr. Shafer was not delegate and that he
had no right to the floor This evoked chorus of ap-
probation that served to bring up old meIn-
cries of the Big Six" YELL and Shafcr began
again at Mr.. Magonc, who made very Ineffective use
of his malet and was more in the power OF the
Convention than the Convention was in his. MI.
Kelly called for a decision of his point OF order,
which Mr.. Magone then declared well taken. Shatier
died hard.
