the Convention reassembled at o'clock
last evening Senator Herman delivered a
lengthy address, after which the Conven-

Last night Slocum boom was started,
but it did not take well, and fell fiat. The
Robinson men now say he will be nomin-
ated on the first ballot without doubt. The
Committee on contested seats was in session
long after midnight.
SYRACUSE, Sept 11-1O:3O A. M.-The ex-
element is now at fever heat. Work dur

Lerchmen. The Convention was called to
order exactly at fifteen minutes past ten
o'clock this morning.
Calls were made from the gallery to put
out the Tammany roughs from the hall"
Defiant answers were shouted back from
the section of the floor occupied bv the
Tammanytes, and reechoed by the friends

Upon the presentation of candidates for
Governor Archie Hand, of Albany, NOM
mated Lucius Robinson. The rame was
received with an outburst of cheers.

his feet as Hand resumed his seat, and in
one of his characteristic speeches seconded
the nomination, announcing that the Kings
County delegation had decided to vote for
Robinson.
The excitement occasioned by this an
nouncement can he better imagined than
described. Then came Tammanys turn,
and Lawyer Charles Brooke in a thrilling
speech presented the name of General Slo-

The nomination of Socum was seconded
bv General Baldy Smith, of New York, and
there were wild demonstrations of delight
by the Tammanyites. Thomas f. Grady,
another Tammany orator, sprang to his
feet and made a direct reply to Hands eu-

lie closed by pledging opposition to Rob-
insOn under any and all circumstances.
Jerry Mcclure followed in the same
strain, denouncing both Robinson and
lilden. He created somewhat of sensa-
ton by pronouncing Tilden the greatest
fraud of the aye.

efficiency, and economy in every depart
ment of the government Second, All
