afternoon Session.
When the convention reassembled Chas.
E. Smi:hF was made permanent chairman,
who expressed thanks for the honor con-
ferred. The committee on credentials re-
ported that the sitting delegates from the
first assembly district of Oneida county,
headed by Hon. Roscoe Conkling, are the
regular delegates and entitled to seats.
RESOLUTIONS.
The report of the committee on resolu-
tons was called for and presented by E. w.
Stoughton, who took the stage and read as
follows:
The Republicans of the State of New York,
assembled to appoint delegates to represent
them in national convention, sreaffirn the
principles and patriotic purposes of the Re-
publican party heretofore declared and faith
fully acted upon and equally impressed with
the responsibility now devolved upon them,
declare that the safety of the nation is again
imperilled by the virulent and unlawful efforts
of the Democratic party to overawe and sub
vert State governments as represented by the
conduct of its leaders in Maine and in several
Southern States, thereby intending to secure
control of the general government by deeds of
violence and fraud and the defense of carefully
constituted judicial authority.
In the presence of these grave and threaten
ing dangers it is the duty of the Republican
party of the union in its united strength to
meet and prevent them, and to this end mind
full of their great responsibility in the coming
Presidential contest, and of the fact that it
must be determined by the electoral vote of
their State, hereby solemnly pledge to tue Re-
publicans of other States their ability to cast it
for Ulysses 8. Grant. We declare that in
him we repose absolute trust for his honesty,
his fidelity to duty, his serene judgment and
solid intelligence, his varied experience, and
for the uniform success that has ever attended
his efforts in securing the Integrity, perpetu-
ity, grandeur and prosperity of our common
country. For these reasons and because we
are satisfied that in HIM the nation, North and
South, will fnd a candidate deserving of its
confidence, we present him as entitled to the
suffrages of every patriotic citizen.
We also declare that the objection to a third
term applies only to third consecutive term,
and is utterly irapplicable to the reelection of
Gen. Grant, who is and has be- a private citi-
zen, absent from the country, destitute Of all
Presidential or official influences or patronage,
and whose elect on must be by the free choice

which alone give force if any, to this object

ReSOlued, That the Republicans of New York
believe the denomination of Ulysses 8. Grant.
as Presidential candidate, of urgent import
ance, and the delegates this day assembled arc
called on and instructed to use their most
earnest and united efforts to secure his nomina-
ton.
Mr.. Stoughton, on the reading, stumbled
at the words "unaided by those Influences
and delegate shouted, "Hurrah for BLAINE y
when long continued cheering followed.
Mr.. StoughtOn said: Now l shall repeat
this without making any fuss.
A Delegate-That's enough of Grant.
Stoughton-I read for the instruction of
the convention, and not for my own pleas
ure.
At the close of the reading there was long
continued applause and misses.
MIR. Forester moved to amend that portion
of the resolution pledging the State to Grant,
by substituting the name of James G.
Blaine. Applause long continued. That
portion of the resolution referring to the
third term he moved to strike out.
A delegate moved to strike out the name
of Blaine, and leave the delegation un
pledged.
Mr.. Forester accepted the amendment.
The question was put on Forester's amend
ment.
Mr.. Conkling rose and was greeted with
prolonged applause and cries of platform"
but he kept his place on the floor and ad-
dressed the convention. At the conclusion
of his speech question was taken by yeas
and nays on Forester's motion to amend the
resolution by declaring in favor of the NOM
inee of the Chicago convention, whoever he
may be. and it resulted in a negative, yeas
$50, nays PIT. The resolutions were then
adopted.
A delegate moved that in case Grant is
not nominated at Chicago the delegation be
instructed to vote as a unit for James G.
Blaine.
Mr.. Conkling moved to lay the motion on
the table. Carried.
Congressional districts were then called
upon to name delegates to Chicago, Presi-
Dental electors and members of the Senate
committee.
81. r. Pierson said We need not 60 out of
New York to find the nominee. Long con-
tinued applause. We can find one in Ohio,
Tapplanse, but among all these peers there
is man hold above all others, applause,
and mingled cries of Conkling and Blaine.
1 mean that name which stands as the god
of battle, Ulysses S. Grant. Great applause.
Mr.. Forester moved to amend the substi
tute of Mr.. Arthur by striking out the words
"for action of the convention"
Geo. w. Curtis said he would withdraw
his resolution if Gen. Arthur would withdraw
the words quoted.
Gen. Arthur said he would not withdraw
those words. 1t would be absurd to present
a report of nominations to the convention
without giving it the right to act on them.
The chair stated the question was on the
amendment to Mr.. Arthur's substitute.
Mr.. Forester called for the ayes and nays.
The chair said as there has been no rules
adopted it would be impossible to call the
ayes and nays.
Mr.. Forester appealed from the decision
and the appeal was laid on the table.
Mr.. Woodin-It makes no difference how
the names were presented to the convention.
They must be acted on by the convention
and this convention must give the delegates
their credentials. If the committee hampers
with the names reported by districts it will
be time to act.
Gen. Arthur said the committee had
nothing to do with the delegates. The con-
vention must act.
