personal pride and qualification to the
speaker that he could pay such tribute to
man OF such worth. Mentally and NOR
ally he was the peer OF any man in the old
Commonwealth, and his record was un-
spotted. Referring to Colonel Holidays
position on the public debt, he said he would
not detain the Convention with recital of
his views, as all who desired to know his
views could read his letter on the subject.
1t had been charged that Colonel Holidays
friends had formed some combination. He
desired to say that the charge was not true.
That Colonel Holiday himself was man
who knows very little about the highways
and byways across the political fields. It
was the intention OF Colonel Holidays
friends to use every fair and honorable
means to secure his nomination; beyond
that they would not 90. II, however, said
he to the Convention, you have any doubts
when your candidates are dropped where
to 60, cast your votes for Colonel +. w. NJ.
Holiday. He is the best rallying point in
the Convention. [Cheers and applause.]

The New York democracy met in con-
ven,ion at Tweddle Hall, Albany, last
Wednesday. The old ticket, or Tilden
men succeeded in electing D. B. Hill tenn
porary chairman, but in the permanent
organization the Tammany crowd, headed
BY John Kelly, was successful, and Clark
son R. Potter was permanent chairman.
The arti- Tammany delegates from New
York City led by John Morrissey were ex-

tanned full control, Allen c. Beach was
nominated for secretary of state by vote
of 227 10 IA for John Bigelow, the pres
ent incumbent, who was supported by
Gov. Robinson and the Tilden reform
ers." Bigelow was one of the republicans
whom Tlden got into the democratic par.
ty and whom he imposed on the demo-
cratic party two years ago as he did Rob
ioson last year The result of the con-
vention is the reinstatement Of the i" old
set Of democrats in power So that the
voters of the Empire State have now their
choice between the products of the two
machines, the Conkling machine and the
Kelly machine, so far as the state tickets
are concerned. The former appears TO
have turned out a little cleaner werk.

From Ohio few returns have been re-
cciyed but they indicate the election Of
" Uncle Dick Z" Bis op as governor over
Judge West by large majority, This
democratic success on the state ticket
makes it pretty certain that that party will
have the legislature, in which case the
contest between Stanley Matthews and
Gen. Garfield will have no more interest
