ALBANY. Oct. 4.-Thc storm OF yesterday
sopuricd the air that the Convention met un-
der IL clear sky. The hour to which the Con-
sen,on stood adjourned WAS 10 o'clock. but the
hbors ofthc Committee on Contested Seats had
been So arduous and pruirifnd tlat the clock
astollng II when Mr. llii. ;h" Chairman. now
armed with a gavel. called the Convention 80
order During tho two hours that had passed
away. u great deal OF eau uau-ing WAS goin.
on in respect to candidates. and not Il
lit.lc anxiety was manifested ON that sub
jcei by those who had won tho victory
in behalf Of Il now ticket. Among those VINO
were ncrvously moving around in the crowd Of
iinpatieu; Delegates and organizing their forces
preparatory 10 the battle on nominations were
Brown Of jefferson. the leading champion Of
Allen C. Beach Pcckham Of Albany. tho stern
advocate of the old ticket; Shaw of COopers-
town. who was trying TO get ny a compromise
candidate for Secretary of state In tho person of
A. =. Weaver. late Superintendent OF Public
Instruction. and Richmond OF Gencsec.
tho son Of TIE late Dean Richmond.
who. for so many years. with rarc
sagacity. ruled the Democracy OF the state Of
New York. But. after ali. II was foroshadowcd
that the fight for the old ticket was useless. be-
cause the battle in behalf Of Il new ticket had
been fought and won yesterday. by u vote Of 1863
TO ia. on the amendment of Mr.. Brooks 10 the
proposition moved by Mr.. West for taking the
appointment Of the Committee on Contested
seats from the temporary Chairman aud con-
ferring II ON the Convention. This was really a
es, vote between the old ticket and the new ticket
and settled everything in behalf of the latter.
By the by. I will state that THE Sun Of this
morning incorrectly gave the affirmative vote
on this question at ls9 when 1t should have
been l69. In fact. the battle for the Brooks
amendment was contest for Beach against
Bigelow and the result was victory for Beach
and an entire new ticket. with the single excer-
ton OF Mr. Ocott the present Comptroller. who
had been appointed by Gov. Robinson. and who
had not an opponent in the Convention.
While waiting for the report of the Committee
ON Contested Seats some significant substitu-
tons OF delegates were made. Beach and the
elder Fairchild stepped out Of the Convention.
and put others in their places Beach retired
because he was a candidate who was sure to be
nominated aud Fairchld retired because his
son was n candidate who was sure to be de-
feated. While waiting for the report OF the
committee various speakers were called
for to entertain the audience. There
we're shouts for Clarkson y. Potter. As
companied by vigorous cheers. Mr.. Potter
retired behind the scenes Of the Opera House.
Gen. Spinola. being discovered on the platform.
was loudly called for. AT length he came for
ward and made a grand speech. sharply review
ing the proceedings OF the last Legislature. and
especially the refusal OF the Republican majority
10 enact an honest and fair apportionment law.
Spinola was Justly severe upon the conduct OF
Woodin and Alvord. who had charge Of that
subject in their respective Houses
AT length Mr.. West OF Lewis, the Chairman OF
the Committee on Contested Seats. appeared
and was greeted with loud cheers by the impa-
tient delegates. There were two reports from
the committee. Mr.. West. from the majority.
reported in favor Of the admission OF the entire
Tammany delegation from your city. and the
exclusion OF the entire anti i-Tammany delega-
tion. This paragraph Of the report was received
with enthusiastic and long-continued ap-
plause. That part OF the report which
gave to Boss Mclaughlin the whole OF the
Kings county delegation was greeted with
generous though rather faint cheers. That
section which gave the contested seats in the
First District OF Altany TO Erastus Corning and
his associates brought down the house. Mr..
Peckham made a minority report. which cast
out the Corning and the Tammany delegations.
while admitting the Mclaughlin delegates IN
Kings Mr. Peckham moved the adoption OF the
minority report. Mr. West moved to amend.
substituting the report Of the majority. Mr..
Brooks moved still further to amend by pro-
ydng. In substance. that no delegate whose
seat was contested should be allowed 70 vote on
this subject until tho entire report Of the major
ity was adopted After a brief discussion and 4
great deal Of confusion Oh points Of order. the

The victory having been achieved. Mr.. schell
arose in is place and sent a resolution 10 the
Chair His appearance on the floor for the first
Time as an uncontestcd delegate elected great
enthusiasm: but this manifestation of appro-
baton sank ont OF sight when John Kelly stood
up with paper in his hand and addressed the
chair. The Tammeny Boss was received with
Wild yclls. the crowded galleries joining in with
all their might.
The breakers we're now passed and there was
an open sea. Con. McCuadc Of Utica moved
that the Chair appoint Committees On perna-
nent Organization, and on resolutions. The
those who had charge OF the Convention, He
placidly smiled as h- saw that his
fusion. Thereupon Mr.. Green Of Lotkport
moved 70 amend by providing that the appoint
made
by the Chair. but by the Convention itself as
had been the cast with the Committee on Com
Tested Seats. Stand-up vote was called for on
tne amendment. and so large n moJority
Of the delegates arose 10 their feet
that McQuade shouted out: Mr. Chair
man. surrender at discretion" This
sally was received with loud laughter and the
Convention was restored tO the most perfect
good humcr. Some time WIS then spent 10y the
delegates OF the several Congressional districts
IN selecting mem berS for these two committees.
When complete they were handed 10 the Chuir
and ANNOUNCED, and then the Convention took
recess until i. VI.
