Tho Democratic State Convention ns-
sembled ut Saratoga to-dny. The
strong pressure to nominate Seymour,
gardless of his declinntiou, seems to bo
restrained only by tho reelection that if
lie should persist in n refusul to run,
the filling OF the vacancy would fall to
tho State Committee. which the dele
gates dislike to trust with TINT authority.
The Tammauy difficulty having been
compromised, there is little room for
public wrangling in the convention.
At l2:lo the convention was called to
order, aud Rufus Deckhnni was elected
temporary Chairman. An adjourn
ment of tho convention until evening
vas then effected by tho arbitrary de-
cision Of the Temporary Chairman,
really against u majority, in order to
give Tildcn men more time for consult
tation, and in the hope Of getting Soy.
,nour to nccrpt the nomination upon re-
assembling. The convention adopted
resolutions, and then proceeded to nom.
mte for Governor. Wn. Dorsl,emicr.
