THE PARTY BEFORE ROBINSON OR T1LDEN.
After other speeches had been made in eulo-
gy and denunciation of Robinson, delegate
from Saratoga named Cowen, declared himself
an early and consistent supporter Of Robinson.
He was q Tilden man and Robinson man. but
no man would ever be allowed to come between
him and the Democratic party, and as it was
perfectly apparent if Governor Robinson was
nominated, he would not be elected, he was not
for his nomination. When he had heard of
this disagreement in New York, he had said he
would take the delegation by the throat and
make them do their duty. He had said the
same thing of the Albany delegation. He had
became convinced that Lucius Robinson could
not DO elected. He said the gentleman presid-
ing (Jacobs) would make good
enough Governor for him. Great cheer
ing, long continued.) He then nominated
JOHN G. JACOBS FOR GOVERNOR,
and the applause and cheering was very enthu-
siastic. He asked the secretary to put the
question upon his nomination by reclamation
There was great tumult and calls for the ques-
ton, and nearly every member stood upon his
feet, swinging his hat.
The secretary put the question, and there was
an almost
UNANIMOUS RESPONSE OF "AYE,''
with long continued cheering. The secretary
declared John G. Jacobs nominated for the
Office of Governor, and there was a continuation
of the cheering, repeated over and over, fol-
lowed by scene of indescribable confu sion,
long continued. A dozen men then rose to
move u recess, and it was a long time
before they could be heard.
When quiet was restored Mr. Jacobs, the chair
man, said he regretted the secretary had as
sumed the duties of the chair before he had au-
concerning the nomination which had been
made he would have respectfully declined.
MIR. Brooks insisted as point of order that
the chair should recognize the propriety of ac-
ton taken and moved recess for two hours.
At the end of tho roll call, on Brooks me.
ton, the chairman announced three tallies had
been kept, each different from the other, orc
carrying the motion and another defeating it.
Under these circumstances he must order the
roll to be again called. The pending motion
was modified rs to provide for recess of
only one hour.
Mr.. Faulkner moved the chair himself keep
the count at the next call of tho roll.
The chair said b., would take the liberty Of
appointing Messrs. Faulkner and Gamble
ton, Robinson and anti-Robins0n, as tellers,
and would watch them both. He alse said the
roll would be called slowly, and each delegate,
when his name was called, would rise in his
place to respond. The roll-call resulted, yeas,
166, nays, 2l7; so the motion was rejected.
TROUBLE BREWING.
David Dudley Field took the floor, inquired
if there was not danger that in the excitement
and passion they might lose sight of their
duties to the Democracy, who were behind them.
Gov. Robinson was his lifelong friend but it
was indubitable that was he right or wrong he
had lost the confidence Of portion Of the De-
mocracy. Let them Unite ON some man who
can suit the party and lead them to success.
MIR. Peckham, Of Albany, moved the roll be
called, and that each delegate name his choice
for Governor. (Applause.)
The chair said there was no objection. He

MIR. Wagstaf, Tammany, called attention to
the fact that there was question pending on
the motion made just before the convention
nominated Mr.. Jacobs, to appoint committee
to devise plan by which harmony could be
secured.
Mr.. Peckham moved to lay that motion on
the table, and on this the yeas and nays were
ordered.
Mr.. Faulkner (Kobinson) here took the floor,
and claimed the convention had already nomi-
mated candidate for governor, and moved the
convention proceed to nominate a lieutenant
governor.
The chair said the chairman had decided the
question of nomination of governor, and he,
occupying the chair temporarily, would not
change that decision. (Cries of mo, no.'O
MIR. Peckha1n made point of order that the
convention had already ordered the roll-csll on
another motion.

to lay on the table, which was not debatable.
Tho roll was then called on the motion to
table the motion for a committee of one from
each county, to be appointed by the chair to
consult upon the situation and present to the
convention single name for governor, and the
motion was carried, 228 to l55.
MIR. Peckham renewed the motion to call the
roll on the nomination Of candidate for gov
ernor, and moved the previous question, but
before the previous question was seconded
the motion to take recess was made and sec
onded, and obtained precedence. The motion
for recess was defeated yeas l66, nays 21O.
Mr.. Peckham then renewed his motion to
proceed to the nomination for governor, and
called the previous question, which was prompt
ly seconded.
Mr.. Cowan again moved the nomination of
Jacobs by acclamation. applause and laugh
ter.)
The chairman stated the question before the
convention was calling the roll for nomina'
tons.
Mr.. Dorsheimer, who is lieutenant governor
of the State, here rose and said be had propo-
sition to make. 1t was, that the New York
delegation withdraw from the convention, and
the convent N take q recess to such time as it
shall see fit, for consultation; and he was au-
therized to say the delegates from New York
would not obtrude themselves the conven-
ton again. (Cheers.)
MIR. Peckham replied that SO far as he knew
the Democracy of theScountry were ready to
vote, and all they desired was fair count.
Fred. P. Olcott, of Albany, was here nomi-
mated for governor. (Applause.)
TAMMANY RETIREs.
After o brief scene of confusion the conven-
ton ordered the roll to be called on the candi-
date for governor. The roll call had not pro-
caeded far when Augustus A. Schen rose and
recited the earnest fidelity of tho city Democ-
racy at all times in the past, in sunshine and
storm, a ID announced that under no circum-
