You have been offended BY
Governor Il biHsOu and YOU said 80. Goa

He had, perhaps, contributed az much a.
auy one man in New York TO the election of
q cross between q mule and 4 jscksss,
| Mayor Cooper, and he prayed Coils for
giyeuess fof the act. He expected TO do
pensnce fer it in sackcloth and ashes for
the remainder Of his life.
Dorsheimer, from the committee on a
plan of set,on, reported that the commit
tee recommended:
l. that the convention now proceed to
nomins,e a candidate for Governor.
> That a committee of fifteen be APP
pointed by the chair and announced in the
future, which shall be constituted
with power with reference to the
remainder OF the ticket, as may seem 10
them proper.
He then said, in nominating candidate
to be supported for Governor, it became
proper that ne should speak OF his qualih-
cation Tor the office. He nominated John
Kelly, Of New York applause
and went on to eulogize him
IL 4 III ~
posing John Kelly to be nominated by
acclamation. Applause The nomination
was promptly seconded, with the expires
sion that if John Kelly should be elected
New York would never have more honest
or more capable OF more faithful Gov
e-nor.
The nomination OF Kelly for Governor
was made unanimous by a rising voc, with
great enthusiasm.
John Kelley, being called for, was
received with three times three cheers. He
thanked the convention for the compG-
ment paid BIN. He regarded it as a COM
pliment, coming from The heart and
not from the lips. He did not
expect to be elected Governor, but he did
expect TO defeat a man who had committed
a great outrage upon the people of New
Robinson, after he has retired to private
lie, that ne has committed great wrong
upon the people, not only of New York
CITY, but OF the STATE. He had surrounded
him, elf with bad class Of people, who
were using him for bad purpose. lie
hoped he would be able to ace the great
wrong he had perPetrated the
I7.h of March last, when he
resorted to the plans Of
midnight assassin and burglar TO secure pos
session Of the public office.
Kelley then reviewed the circumstances
OF getting possession of the office OF county
clerk Of New York, this being the way
Lucius Robinson discharges duties of hi4
Office al. it, he asked, mot time that he
be removed ~ Cries Of eyes |" lie rels-
tel other incidents of like character in
which the Governor bad taken part. He
said il might be asked why he laid these
grisv tnces De fore this assemblage2 1t was
because they were grievances which
affected the very foundation of the govern
uent and unless they were redressed, unles
they were resisted, that foundation wOuld
be undermined and the government de-
siroysd. Let the convention and those
connected with it, he said, take the coDse-
quences of the defeat of the party. He
hoped those who heard him would go to the
polls with the full determination that no
such man a. Lucius Robinson shall be per-
petuatsd in office He said that the con-
vention was in fact nothing more
than csucns and he hoped that
the Judgment OF the people
would not be swayed by its action. IL ~as
amusing to him to see a number OF little
men rel wing on the canals and State offices,
running about the city endeavoring To
away the Judgment Of the delegates. In
ISIS, he said, it will be recollsc'ed that
there were bat tIye counties in the State
which gave Democratic maiorities, and
these men ought 10 know that this year II
would be ss much IA the party could do to
get a maiOrity in the State, even with union
and harmony prevailing.
lie promised that in New York the usual
D=mocratic majority would be secured.
Voice: 1--WE will vote for you outside the
city, too. Now, said he, | accept the Eom-
ination cheer- and will 10 all | can and
Tammsny Hall will do all it can and it can
do much for the election of our county
ticket. ! promise you we shall elect It.from
the top to bottom. These men who have
attempted to tyrannizei over you will be
beaten by 80 90 and they ought to be beat
en- and forced to give place to men OF Iudg-
ment.
When nincompoops undertake to lead a
party they always lead it to defeat. They
Ough, to be beaten, because the party ought
70 be purified and it was time to change
the head of the government of State.
lie hoped that in the near future they
would meet again and that the party would
be verified again and rice like the phoenix
to new life ard power.
D1rsheimer's proposition for a committee
OF fifteen to decide whether full ticket
should h. nominated was adopted.
