Uncle Sammy wanted him. and know it for a fact
that he had 100000 copies OF the report the Pot
ter Committee wrapped and addressed ready for cir
culation Clarkson N. Potter was nomi-

Robinson is the only man who do that"

exhausted. and still the magnates came not.
The, crowd became impatient. Finally the con-
fusion became terrific. and it was only q slight
addition to the noise which announced the coming

chairman. Mr.. Morrison called the committee to

cause of the democracy OF this county he was on
the LIST of January. He thanked the committee for
their renewal OF confidence in him, and referred to
the position he now held. saying he reproached
py some OF the papers as q very young man. He
dwelt at some length on the atrocious crime Of
young manhood and hoped that q young man he
might continue to preside the deliberations
with as much satisfaction as in the past.
SPEECH OF Kx-AssEMBLYMAN DAILY.
At the conclusion of President Morrison's speech
the Committee Resolutions reported an address
to the democracy Of the State, which was received
with much applause especially tho illusions to
Lucius Robinson. The adoption Of the report was
moved by ex-Assemblyman James A. DAILY. He said
all active participation in local politics. He
had grown tired OF mutual slaughter. and had
sent an unbroken front at Syracuse But an honored
leader Of the democracy had been assaled by local
organization because he refused to obey its behest
The people will sustain Governor Robinson. a the
people sustained Governor Marcy forty years ago.
Mr.. DAILY denied the truth of Tammsny's charges
against Governor Robinson. His only crime as
Governor has been to do his whole duty to the
whole people. Governor Robinson had not been the
friend OF the railroad corporations as was evident
from his signing the Pipe Line bill. He was
the friend Of common school education. but
was opposed to higher academies for the cdu.
of the poor; he cared for the peoples money In
gard to the new Capitol appropriation. and in regard
sso
another namc Tammany Hall has sung Governor
Robnsons praises for the veto of the Omnibus bill
to fail to renominate Governor Robinson the die
tation of cabal would not deserve success. Tam
many has not the power. and Mr.. DAILY did not be-
leve 1t had the will to defeat him.

might as well name six men as one man whom he
would defeat; next year Erie county or Albany

OF the whole country to eliminate candidate from
Its list. In conclusion Colonel Follows thought
that II there any one thing more Objectionable
than youth IL was the wild vaporings OF second
childhood. The democracy of this State will under
stand what caused the unanimity or Tammany Hall
in following Kelly's lead 1t Kelly who had
taken the Tsmmany organization outside Of tho
democratic party. Az certain Us God reians we are
going to renominate Lucius Robinson before the
goes down next Wednesday night. What is John
Kelly going TO do about it2 He may be- able to take
his General Committee with him. but he cannot
pei the people who last year voted with Tammsny
Hall to go with him against the regular nominee Of
the party. He may be strong to bend the will Of
Democrats within his party, but not even an arch
angel could take them out OF tho party. The Gen.
ernl Committee Colonel Fellows described thir-
teen hundred and odd bodies. but with only one
head-the head of John Kelly. On next Thursday
there will be weeping and wang only in Tam many
Hail. WeH leach nelly some LESSONS at

Colonel Fellows willing to Mr.. Kelly ad-

repast OF boiled crow.
