NEW YORK DEMOCRATIC STATE
CONVENTION.
HoRATIO SEYMOUR ACCEPTS.
RE-NOmINATED.

DORsHEIMER RE-NOMINATED.
SARATOGA, Aug. 81.
AT Ave minutes after ten o'clock, the
hour to which the convention stood adj
iourned, its doors were relentlossly closed
to all corners under ale yed orders from the
state committee not to open the doors un-
til their arrival. Meantime an immense
crowd of delegates and others crammed the
lobbies and stairways, grumbling aud ours
ing the stupidity of the arrangement 1t
was half past ten o'clock when the dele
gates had been admitted. The doors to
the galleries still remained closed.
At 1898 Mr.. Kelly said the state COM
mittee had issued tickets of admission to
the galleries, that large crowd were in
waiting, but the doors were closed. He
moved that the chair should give orders to
open them.
The chair said the convention had not
yet been called to order, 50 he could re-
ceive no motion.
The crowd continued to hammer a. the
gallery doors for ten minutes more, when
at 1910 o'clock the chair called the con-
vention to order and put Kellys molten.
| 1t was carried.
When the doors were opened the multi!
tude rushed in while the delegates applaud
ed the contestants racing helter-skelter to
seats,
Mr.. Kelly made a brief personal explana-
ton of his remarks yesterday with refer
ence to the liberal PARTY. Mr.. Kelly said
MIR. Chairman aud Gentlemen of the
Convention In the remarks | made to
the convention yesterday, which had rela-
ton to the liberals of the republican party,
| desire that the convention, as well as the
country, more particularly this state, shall
understand what my real meaning was on
that matter in the city of New York. You,
gentlemen, who are familiar with the pol
itcs of that city will recollect the fact that
there has been a liberal republican general
committee there for the last four years !;
that committee has been dissolved by gen.
eral consent. 1t no longer exists. Quite
a number of the gentlemen, more partic-
ularly the leaders, have gone back again to
their own party, as many, perhaps, and
more when the division took place in 1872,
| joined the democratic party. Applause. ]
They don't consider themselves liberal re-
publicans any more,o in other words, like
Cortcs when he landed at Mexico, they
burned everything behind them and are
now acting and have been acting in entire
accord with the democratic party, as one
evidence of that fact. Some of the most
important offices in the city of New York
are held to-day by gentlemen who were
formerly members of the republican
party and were known in 1872 as
liberal republicans. Now, of course, l
know nothing of the condition of politics
in the other counties of the state only from
reading and hearsay, but am told the re-
marks made here yesterday gave offense
to large number of people who were
formerly republicans, but who have beer
acting with the democratic party since
1879. l trust those gentlemen will under
stand my true position is this matter.
have no intent Of giving offense to anybody
Applause. 1t is our duty a, democrats
to bring in all people who are willing tt
act with us. 1t Is neither policy nor senst
to attempt so drive any man from the dem
ocratic party who desires to act with i
and become a member of it. hope tina
these few remark have male will be un
derstood by the gentlemen acting as dele
gates here in this democratic convention
and who consider themselves democrats ant
intend to remain democrats, that Intended
under no circumstances tosay anything tina
they could apply as any offense toward
Themselves. [Applause.
Mr.. Egan of Kings moved to proceed tC
the nomination of a candidate for lieuten
ant-governor. Carried.
Mr.. Egan moved the nomination of VIII
liam Dorsheimer by accamation. Cries o
"No," Misses and applause.
MIR. Weed of Clinton rose to what he be
lieved his honest, earnest duty. The con
vention had nominated one of the most il
lustrious men liz the state and nation TO
governor. He believed Seymour woul
sweep the state and ensure the election o
the candidates for president and vice-presl
dent by an overwhelming majority. [Ap
plause.1 He believed the convention
should complete its work by putting on tn
4. ticket the distinguished gentleman who's
name had just been presented. Two year
ago Mr.. Dorshemer had been nominate
: against himself. He did not think it wise
I daughter. But the result proved his cI
3 ror, and now he believed it the duty of tn
: convention to renominate that gentleman
: 1t was desirable to recognize the liberal
I who, when they came to the democrati
party, burned their bridges behind them
Dorsheimer's nomination now would be n
experiment; it would be in the directio
of reform-the great issue of this campaig
G and earnest public servant. In conclusio
d he appealed to the convention to put MI
u Dorsheimer on the ticket. [Great al
