sin and burglar to secure possession Of
public office. Mr.. Kelly reviewed the
circumstances Of his getting possession Of
the office OF County Clerk OF New York.
This being the way Lucius Robinson dis.
charged the duties Of his office, is It not,
he asked, time that he be removed?
tCries ol Eyes, yes!"1 He related other
incidents Of like character in which the
Governor had taken part. He said It
might be asked why he laid these
grievances before this assemblage. It
was because they were grievances
which affected the very foundation OF the
government, and unless they we're re.
dressed, unless they. were resisted, that
foundation would be undermined and the
government destroyed. "Lot the Con.
venhon and those connected with It," he
said, take the consequences OF the de.
feat OF the party" He hoped that those
who heard him would 20 to the polls with
the full determination that no such man

the city, too."1
"Now," he said, 81 accept this nomina.
ton Lcheersl, and will do all / can, and
Tammany Hall will do all 1t can, and It
can do much for the election OF our coun.
ty ticket. l promise you that we shall
elect it from top to bottom. These men
who have attempted to tyrannize over YOU |
will be beaten by fifty thousand, and they
ought to be beaten and forced to give place |
to men OF judgment. When nlncom.
poops undertake to lead a party they al
ways lead 1t to defeat. They ought to be
beaten because the party ought to be
purified, and 1t was time To change the
head OF the Government OF the State"
He hoped that in the near future they
would meet again, and that the party
would be vivifed again and rise like the
Phoenix to new life and power.

ticket should be nominated, was adopted,
and the Convention adjourned sinc die.
