should be cast just a. Napoleon desired

ysrsely the employment OF Federal mar
shals to superintend elections, and over
awe the suffrage Of citizens. He denied the
Republican charge that the Democrats
in the last Congress attempted to starve
the government to death. They passed
all the needed appropriations for the
maintenance of sll the civil departments
ofthe government, but applied aproyiso
to the appropriations for marshals, Tor
bidding the use of any money to pay
them for attendance at the polls, and
that was not starving the government.
He was willing TO submit these
issues TO the intelligence OF the
American people for their decision.
The election this fall would be regarded
as an indirect response by the people
to the charge that Congress erred in its
opposition to the use of Federal force
at the polls. With an honest election
and a united party Great applausel

State, and We can carry the State torwho-

A Growing Disposition in Favor of Gener-
al Slocum.
SYRACUSE, September l0.-The Com
mittee on Permanent Organization
unanimously agreed to continue Sena-
~ T,.ahs ~ frn, I'M
OF the Convention, as permanent chair
man. The Committee on Resolutions
met this afternoon and will finish their
work in the morning. The Committee
on Credentials spent over two hours on
the contested seat from Albany county,
and agreed, bya vote of 10 to II, to admit
the Robinson delegation. Asthe ques-
ton was one OF succession or regularity,
the vote Ot the committee indicates
what disposition will be made OF the an
ti-Tammany contestants. As they were
not admitted 10 the previous convention
il is not likely that they will be adj
mitted % the present one. The canvass
on the candidate for Governor continues
tonight, and there is a growing diSpOsl-
ton i'm favor OF Gen. SlOcum, and II IL
even claimed that he has 1876 votes, with
out including the votes of the Kings
county delegates, who do not as yet an
nounce theirpreierencc. The addreSSesin
the Convention arguing harmony are
well spoken of, and it is believed that
the Convention will do its work and ad-
journ in the best of spirit.
The Committee on Credentials have
decided 20 admit the O'Brien delegation
from Duchess county. The Kings county
delegation stands firm against Slocum.
The report tonight is that the candi-
date for Governor will certainly either
be Robinson or Alcott. Another report
is that Robinson Is stronger tonight
than ever.
