New York Democratic Convention.
VICTORY FOR TaMMANY

A I.
When the secretary began to cali the roll in
the New iOlk democratic state convention
at syracuse yesterday, scene of great disOr-
Der ensued, the question being on the adnis-
sion OF cOnteSting delegates. John Kelly, of
New York, representing the Tammany dele
cation, protested against having his delega-
ton contested, and referred to the fact that
year after year this had been done, notwith-
standing repeated decisions that it was regu-
lar. He wanted the question settled now and
forever. The chair said it had no other means
OF knowing who are members than the roll
call submitted by the state committee He
Was therefore obliged to take the roll, and had
greeted the secretary to call Kings county.
MR. Weed said that notice had been given the
chair that New York AID Kings were con-
tested. The chair then directed the secretary
10 cal Kings county to vote on the question.
which was submitted in the shape of a reSOlu-
ton admitting the Tammany delegation from
New YORK city and the Kings county delega
ton, known as the Mclaughlin delegation,
the right OF any contestants to contest their
seats before the committee on credentials or
the convention being reserved. Mr Weed, OF
clinton, appealed from this decision.
THE UPROAR WAS TREMENDOUS.
Mr. Peckham, OF Albany, Weed and others
hlIed tie a!sleS. shouting, threatening, &c,
Ehle everybody was shouting for order. and
the clerk was calling the names OF the Kings
county delegates. The mayor and police here
entered the hall and insisted that the members
should take their seats. Some resisted. and
sounded with confusion. Mr.. Smith Weed
and half a dozen police about him trying to
g1t Hiih OH q seat ne mad mounted, but he de-
hed them. The police were finally Withdrawn
to the front Of the stage. The secretary then
proceeded TO call the roll amid ali sorts of cries
and noises. The resolution which was the
cause OF the rumpus was carried A motion
to, reconsider was lost. A recess was then
taken, during which large crowd of dissent.
Ing democrats, headed by Smith NJ: Weed, of
Clinton, left the hall and met at Park Opera
Hou e. Here they passed a resolution de-
nouncing the action Of the temporary chair
man in the interest of Tammany and deter
mined to return to Wieting Opera House and
tight it out"
TAMMANYS TRIUMPH CLINCHED.
The convention reaSsembled at 1885 nm.
Mr.. Weed, OF Clinton, offered resolution that
no delegate whose seat is contested shall be
made member of the committee on creden-
tials. MIR. Mitchell moved to lay Weeds reso-
luton on the table. Mr.. Mitchell's motion to
lay Weeds resolution on the table was car
ried-yeas 1s6, nays 1S1. The various commit
tees were then appointed. A number of reso-
lutions were offered and referred, after which
the convention adjourned until 10 o'clock this

BEST THREAD FOR SEWING MACHTNEs-It
appears from the Associated Press dispatches
and from the lists OF awards published in the
Paris newspapers. that the Jury on cotton
textiles, yarns and thread at the Universal
Exposition have singled out the Willimantic
Company, of Hartford. Conn, for a special
distinction. They have decreed to that com
pany gold medal and the grand prize for
spool cotton especially adapted for use on
sewing machines" Out of more than 50C01
medals and awards, there were only loo grand
prizes. and, although ali the great thread mar
ufacturers of the world competed, the Wilt
mantle Company alone receives the grand
prize for spool cotton. This acton of the Paris
jury agrees with the opinion of the judges at
our Centennial Exposition, who decreed
medal, and strongly commended the Will
mantle thread for its SURPRISING excellence
But perhaps the most significant Endorsement
OF this spool cotton is that by the sewing
machine manufacturers and operators them
selves More than fifty OF them alter having
used the Wiimantic thread on their machines
during the Philadelphia and Paris EXpositions,
on all kinds Of work, have signed certificates
declaring that. the WiimanJic is the best
thread they have ever used on sewing ma
chimes, on account OF lis strength, evenness
elasticity, finish and beautiful shades Of color
The concurrent opinion OF so many experts
ought no longer 10 leave any room for doubt
IS TO which thread is the best for sewing ma
chimes. Ii is not OF British or foreign manu-
facture, but al American product, and made
at the Willimantic mils.-[ [ErchaHQe.
