He did not expect to DO elected Gov
ernor, but he did expect to defeat a man
who had committed great OutrageS on
the people OF New York. He expected
to convince Governor Robinson, after
he has retired to private life, that he has
committed great wrong on the people,
not only of New York, but of the State.
He had surrounded himself with bad
class Of people, who were using him for
bad purposes. He hoped he would he
able to see the great wrong he perpe-
trated on the 18th OF March last when
he resorted to the plans OF the midnight
assassin and burglar to secure the pos
session of a public office. Kelly re-
viewed the circumstances of getting
possession of the Office OF county clerk OF
New York. This being the way Lucius
Robinson discharged the duties OF his
office, is it, he asked, not time that
he be removed? [Cries OF "Hes, yes. J
He related other incidents of a like
character, in which the Governor had
taken part. He said it might be asked
why he laid these grievances before
this assemblage, 1t was because they
were grievances which affected the very
foundation of the Government, and un-
less they were redressed, unless they
were resisted, that foundation would be
undermined and the Government de-
stroyed. Let the Convention, and
those connected with it, he said, take
the consequences of the defeat OF the
party. lie hoped those who
heard him would 60 TO the
polls with the full determination that
no such man as Lucius Robinson shall
be perpetuated in office. He said the
convention was in fact nothing more
than a caucus, and he hoped the judg-
ment of the poodle would not be swayed
by its action. 1t was amusing to him
to see the numbers of little men, men
employed on canals and in private OF
fees, running about this city endeavor-
ing to sway the judgment of the dele
gates. In 1873, he said, it will
be recOlieCted that there were
but five counties in the State which gave
Democratic majorities. These men ought
to know this year that it would be as
much as the party could do TO get
majority even with union and harmony
prevailing. He promised that in New
York the usual Democratic majority
would be secured, Voice, Wen vote for
you outside OF the city, too. Now, he
said, | accept this nomination cheers
and will do all | can, and Tammany
Hall will DO all it can, and it can do
much, for the election of our county
ticket. | promise you that we shall
elect it from top to bottom, These men
who have attempted to tyranlze over
YOU will be beaten by over fifty
thousand, and they ought to be beaten
and forced to give the place to men of
Judgment. When the nincOmpoops un-
dertake to lead party they always lead
it TO defeat. They ought to be beaten
because the party ought to be purified,
and it was time to change the head OF
the Government Of the State. He hoped
that in the near future they would
meet again. and that the party would be
vivifed against rise like the Ph@nlN
TO new life and power,
DOrsheimer's proposition for Il COM
mittee of fifteen 10 decide whether
full ticket should he nominated was
adopted, and the Convention adjourned
sine die.
