nearly as well received
There was some skirmishng over the length of the
recess. The intention was to allow sufficient time to
hear from Gov. Seymour. AmOtionto adjourn until
o'clock in the evening was voted down by the con-
ventOn, but carried by the Chairman, and the re-
cess was taken.
The recess brought no solution of the difficulty,
but, on the contrary, increased it. dispatch was
received from Mr.. Seymour by Senator Herman,
stating positively that his health would not permit
the of his name, and that it must not be allowed
to 90 into the convention. This left all the
candidate undisturbed in their original rotations,
and the whole body of delegates in helpless and
hopeless confusion az ever. The afternoon drifted
along without any developments other than this
and the withdrawal of Manton Marble, whose friends
decided not to present him to the convention. Mr..
Potter's friends, however, were hard at work, and
circulated printed copies of his speeches, intended
to show that his utterances had been misinterpreted,
and seemed confident of success.

convention resolved to proceed TO ballot was recon-

was adopted without dissent. 1t reattrmed the
svraepse resolutions of 1874, and those of the ST.

urced the importance of administrative reform. IL

Mr.. Apgar came forward with motion to
reconsider the resolution providing for ballot Tor
candidates and proceeded to nominate Mr. Seymour
by reclamation. This was a decided change OF 'front.'.
Just before it Senator Jacobs had quietly taken the
chair, and proceeded to put his hand on inc
convention. Congressman Beebe started a
fresh furore by declaring that in his opln-
ion-and he had just come from Gov
Seymour at Utica-be would have accepted the
nomination if it had been made UNANIMOUSLY
After this it would have been easier to dam Niagara
than stop the torrent of the convention. Mr. Kelly
made brief delay by having Mr.. Potters speech
read. and Erastus Brooks and Kinsella both maze
speeches respectively for Potter and Dorshelmer !;
but all the while the hoarse monotone OF the
crowd kept With Morrsseys voice heard
every few moments calling in his raspIhg

of his boots In few moments more the recon-

nominated with a laundering reclamation; and the
whole body was on its feet cheering and cheering

pointed TO wait on Mr. Seymour, and the convention

THE SITUATION AT PRESENT.
Try TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. /


SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug. 30.-For the sixth time
Horatio Seymour has been nominated for Governor
by Democratic cOnvcntiOn-nominated this time
as he has often been nominated before, in spite OF
protests and declarations What is to of It's the
question which no one can answer at midnight. IL
is known that the condition of his health is such
that he does not wish accept and yet it is hoped
by many of the Democrats that he may yield and
consent to go upon the ticket. The stampede was
aided undoubtedly, by those who, foreseoing Mr.
DOrsheimers inevitable defeat wished time
to consult, either for concentration upon
some man like Controller Robinson, or
for the purpose of bringing forward some
new name What this name may be no one seems
yet to know. In case Mr.. Seymour accepts, the
second place is as much in doubt as both now are.
There is talk of putting Clarkson N. Potter, and
talk of course of Mr.. D0rshemcr. There are many
who think, however, that it will be great blnder
to bring his name forward at ALL believing the
temper of the convention to be such that he cannot
get any place from it. Those who insisted from the
first that Mr.. DorshcimcI's nomination was highly
improbable have not underestimate the strength OF
the opposition to HIM. Besides these names for the
second place. those of Dewitt G.. West Smith Weed,
and Judge Charles Wheaton mentioned. The
latest current impression to be that Mr. Sey-
mour will consent to serve as the candidate.

and what they signifed There is no need to call
them overs or to dwell upon the meaning OF the
applause. 1t was a Democratic convention. Any
one familiar with politics and parties can pick ont
from the list of delegates the names of the tavortes
and whoever knows the history of the party can tell
what is meant by the partalty for such representa-
tive men and yet the convention has much more
respectable appearance than usual. My respect for

his own nomination from these men, and compelled
them to DO his will They are improving under his
treatment
