terms Of equality with tS the repsesenta
until the time had arrived for making the nomi-
nations to the various offices to be voted for at
| the next general election In this state: and
| whereas the delegates representing such or
| ganization did before any nomination was
| made, and without just cause or provocatfon
and on the mere preteXt and suspicion that
the convention was about to proceed to the
| nomination OF candidate for the Office of the
| governor; and whereas such delegates did de-
| clare that they would oppose and defeat, II it
| lay In their power to do So the nominee of this
convention for the ofice Of governor In the
event that the choice should result In the re-
| nomination OF the present able and efficient
| governor, thereby bidding defiance to the Will
| OF the state organization and its representa-
| ttveS In convention assembled; and whereas
| such voluntary withdrawal and setting at de.
lance the Will OF the democratic party, as rep.
| resented by its delegates In convention as
sembled, is deemed to sever all connection be-
| tween said organization and the regular state
| organization OF the democratic party In this
| state; therefore Be ii Resolved That the demo.
| cratic party OF this state will not hereafter
| acknowledge or grant 10 such organization auy
| prestige or preference over any other demo.
cratic organization In said city and county OF
| New York, but will hear and decide upon the
merits OF all claims to representation In future

presented by those claiming admission from
the respective assembly districts In said county
