David Dudley Field was chosen
chairman. He said that this con-
vention was an assembly OF the
Democrats of New York city and other
parts OF the State, who sympathized
with them in their work OF the past few
days. This delegation, although called
the Tammany delegation, while 1t had
been declared by the State Convention
to be the only regular delegation from
that city, no Democratic ticket had ever
been elected, or could be elected, with
out the vote of the Democrats il repre-
sented. What, he asked, have you
done? You have been offended by
Governor Robinson, and you said so.
You said more that you could not sup
port him for office, and you had right
T. say this, and it was your right to say
this, What has the majority said 10
you? 1t has said that you should have
that nominrtion thrust down your
throats. You have taken the only step
your manhood could dictate. They
have said to you, you shall take that
nomination and none other. 1t has
been said that you would not take this
step. that within twenty-fOur hours you
would be throwing up your hats for
Governor Robinson. Never. never.
1t remains for you TO say whether you
will or not.

and while the committee was deliberat-
iny John B. Haskins, OF Westchester,
who was introduced as Chief of the Tus-
carawas, made a speech, and addressed
his audience as fellow Democrats,
fellow traitors. He had perhaps, con-
tributed rs much asany one man in New
York to the election Of cross between
mule and jackass, Mayor Cooper,
and he prayed Gods forgiveness for the
act. He expected TO DO penance for 1t in
sackcloth and ashes for the remainder
