vention selected Francis Herman,
Henry c. Murphy. William Dors-
heiner and Abram S. Hewitt
a. delegates at large 20 the Ma
tionsl Convention 10 vote as a unit
as tbe. .msjority shall direct. a very
graceful and sensible resolution
favorable to the nomination Of
Samuel J. Tilden for President was
adopted. The convention judici-
ousiy refrained from positively in
structing the delegation for Tilden.
Il explicitly recognizes the duty
Of the delegation TO consult with
their brethren from other States.
but, expressing the opinion that re-
form was the paramount issue be-
fore the country, declared that the
nomination Of Samuel J. Tilden
would be a peculiarly acceptable
one and that IL would insure be-
yond peradventure the electoral
vote Of New York for the DemOc-
rscy. The resolution takes Mr..
Tilden entirely out Of the category
Of mere "favorite soma" The DEL
ega,ion arc not even bound to east
a complimentary vote for him. II
they see that there is no feeling
outside Of themselves in his favor,
they are at liberty to support the
most acceptable man TO them who
has general strength Ia the Con-
veDtion. The liberty thus accord
ed them, however. will be benef-
cial TO Mr.. Tilden. IL shows that
New York has no disposition to
force q candidate upon the party,
while IL does not weaken in the
least the bold the government has
upon the delegates chosen. They
are firmly impressed that Tilden
IL the strongest candidate for
he Presidency that can be selected
