The Liberal Republican State Convention was held at

refusing to let the liberals inside before they paid the
rent insisting that he not going to after the
money for two or three months as he had been com
PEELED to do last year. After considerable parey exPost
master Morgan L. Filkns OF Albany, paid the money.
The doors opened and the business of the Conven
tion proceeded. Six policemen had been engaged to
preserve order, but the half hundred gentlemen who
gathered in solemn conclave perfectly harmless,
md the officers had nothing to do but dozo during the
two hours proceedings.
General Cochrane called the Convention to order and
at chosen permanent chairman. He delivered
long Speech in which he maintpine that the liberal
movement not failure While compIimenting
Governor Tden, he charged the democratic party with
being without progress and gave scathing review OF
republican misrule and applauded the independent
voters The address was received with cheers.
Mr. Archibald Bliss, backed by the Brooklyn dele
gates then made effort to get the Convention to
dorse the Syracuse ticket, proceeding favored by +.
A. Conklng and a number of the New Workers. but the
country delegates bitterly opposed this They favored
the ticket headed by +. W. Seward. The republican
ticket however was the popular with the Con-
vention, but those who favored it managed TO prevent
divsion OF the question and secured the adoption of
resolution leaving the voter who follows the fortunes
pf the liberals free to select his candidates from both
tickets. e,.
