Mr. Jory KELLY said:-Mr. Chairman and gentle
oil the Conventon--ln the remarks made 10
the Convention yesterday which had relation 10 the
liberals OF the republican party desire that the Con-
well the country, aud particularly this
State shall understand what my real meaning was on
that matte. In the city OF Now York. you gentlemen
who familiar with the politics OF that city will
rccollect TACT that there has been Liberal Repub.
lcan General Committee there tor the last four years
That commit has been dissolved by general consent
II longer exists Quite number OF the gentlemen
and more particularly the leaders, have gone back
again TO their own party AZ many and perhaps moro
the division took place in 1872, Joined the demo
cratic party. (Applause) They do not consider them
selves LIBERAL republicans any more In other words
like Cortes when he landed IN Mexico, burned every
thing behind them, and active and have been
active In entire accord with the democratic party
AS evidence Of that fact some OF the most i'm
portan, Offices In the city Of New York are held to-day

true position in this matter; have intention OF
giving offence to anybody. lApplausel II is our
