THE FIGHT FOR TIE SECOND PLACE
Mr.. Weed OF Clinton TO do what he believed his
honest earnest duty. The convention had nominated
of the mos. lustrious In the State and nation
/ for Governor. He believed Hcra,io Seymour would
sweep the State and insure the election OF the cnd
dates for President and yieePresdept by oyerwhelm
| In majority. IApplause He believed the convention
should complete its work by putting on the ticket tue
distinguished gentleman whose name had just been pre-
sentcd. Two years ago Mr.. DOrshcmer had been nom
mated against himself He did not then think 1t wiso
auhtcI but the result proved his error and now he
believed it the duty Of the convention to nominate that
| gentleman IL is desirable to nominate the Liberals
Who when they 40 the Democratic party, burned
| their bridges b mind them.

he therefore named him for the second place ON the
ticket he desired 10 say he would not do IL with any
other man at the head OF the ticket, but with Seymour
at the head he felt he was authorized Mr. Potter
for the second place. The great popularity OF Mr. Pot
Ter n te river counties would add great strength TO the
ticket Had not the Of Eorato Seymour been pre-
scnted as II was at night he believed Mr. Potter would
have bc@l nominated.
MI Pocznam Of Albany said that he trusted the mo-
ton made to nominate that gentleman BY accamaton
woull be carried What had william Dorsheimor done
that he should nsulted by this conveniioni Has he
not honestly aud earnestly discharged his duty since he
has been ofcci Can no has betrayed TIE
interests the Democratic party Has there ever been
n time when a who has faith uily discharged his
duty TO the Democratic party and comes for one re-
nomination the decision should be 20 back IL Is the
part OF policy and Of necessity for Democrats 20 show TO
the whole people the state and the Union that these
men who left the Republican party and came into the
democratic party 1879 and have stood by 1t faithfully
and fcaressy that time forward. should not be
instcd In the very hearts Of the Democratic party
| Mr. Craig OF Kings sad that Mr.. Marble would not
under any circumstances allow the Of his name for
