ventiOn was called to order, and after consid.
| erable lively discussion q resolution was
adopted requesting delegates from the severa
congressional districts to select and name
| their respective members OF the State com
mittee, and II in any case majority cannot
agree upon It's member, to report the facts te
the convention for Its action.
The platform Of the Democratic State Con.
vention, adopted to-day. reasserts the prin-
ciples Of popular liberty laid down by the
founders Of the republic; holds to the consti-
tuition and the rights OF the States under the
constitution, and opposes the tendencies Of
the Republican party to Capitalization and
consolidation. It declares this republic 10 q
nation to the extent and for the purposes
defined In the constitution, but that Demo
Gratis will resist all attempts to transform 1t
Of the Republican managers to revive sec
tfonal feads; demands honest elections
and an honest count, and says: tNevef
again, by fraud or force, shall the popular
will be set aside to crafty INSCRIPTIONS par
tisans." 1t condemns the use OF Federal
patronage to influence elections, and ex-
presses shame and sorrow at the disgraceful
reputation Of all professions Of civil service
reform by the Executive and It's supporters.
It favoTs gold and silver as the constitutional
money OF the country, but condemns the
speculative methods OF the present Secretary
OF the Treasury; the favOritlsm shown by
him to particular banks and the syndicate,
and the extravaganza permitted In eonnee-
ton with his refunding schemes. 1t con-
demns the action OF the President and Re-
publicans In Congress, with regard to aues-
tions debated In the extra session, and de-
clares that the Democrats will continue to up
hold the system OF untrammeled suffrage alb
solutely free from Federal force or super
vision.
After the adoption Of the platform the CON
yention proceeded to make nominations

OF Lucius Robinson, which was greeted with
New York. put In nomination Gen. Henry w.
Slocum. fGreat applause.] After speeches
against the nomination Of Robinson by T.
Grady, OF New York, and }. Mcclure, which
were frequently Interrupted by misses and
applause, Mr. Cowen, OF Albany, presented
the name Of John g. Jacobs, chairman OF the
convention, and asked the secretary to put
the question Of his nomination by acclania-
tfon. There was an almost unanimous re-
sponse OF yeas and long-continued cheering,
after which the secretary declared Mr..
Jacobs nominated. The latter, however. de-
clined to accept, and decided the nomination
informal and irregular. Great confusion and
excitement ensued, but at o'clock. when

the Tammany delegation Withdrew, and the
remainder Of the convention nominated Rob-
inson-M3 to So.
