picked up on the streets Of Cincinnati or rs
given by delegates of sister States?. He ap-
pealed to the South Carolina and other South
ern delegations, rs advocates Of State rights,
to stand by the principle involved The in
dividual delegates sitting here from New
York were of secondary Importance but
beware how you smite in the face the Queen
of the North. lApplause.I
Westbrook OF New York occupied the FIVE
minutes remaining to the minority. 1t made
no difference what had caused the split in
New York, but it exists. United We stand,
divided we fall, and the real question is, How
can we best secure union and victory? He
hoped such action would be had here as would
secure to the party Tammany Halls $4,000
trusty votes, so necessary to success. II was
well for the party that Tammany Hall was at
this time in the control of so honest and
sound man as John Kelly. [Applause and
Kisses But he could not control, if he would,
the dissatisfied Democrats who are at
his back, if the Convention should fail to
deal justly and generously with them. He
continued for some time TO plead earnestly
the wisdom Of giving the contestant partial
representation in the Convention as means
of enabling them to control their forces for
the sake of the cause.
Peckham of Albany followed for the ma
jority report. 1t was votes that the party
wanted and must have. How were they to
be secured In 1876, after the st. T4oais
Convention had nominated Tilden for Presi-
dent tcheersb Lucius Robinson was nomi-
mated and elected Governor of New Noit.
In the honest discharge of his official duty as
Governor, he removed the County Clerk O.
New York, and this led to declaration c.
war by Tammany against Robinson. The
Democrats Of the rural districts determined
to stand by Robinson, and nominated
him; whereupon Kelly and Tamman-
Hall nominated another candidate,
stabbed Robinson to the heart and elected
Cornell. And now, with hands stir
bloody, they come here and ask you in the
interests of harmony to disfranchise the
regular delegates who are sitting here. Grant
their demand, and the gentleman from Texas
will lie bowling louder in the wilderness for
votes than he is now. Applause The
Democrats of New York would never submit.
to such treatment. Votes were not to be kad
in any such way. Applause
Young of Georgia, as Chairman of TIE
Committee on Credentials, closed the debate
with three minute speech. The COMMITTEES
had found only one regular delegation here
from New York, and they had recommended
their admission. Tilden was not before this
Convention. [Applause.l For one he wished
to God he were. [Applause.l The question
was simply as to who were the righttul repcs-
sentatives of New York.

symbol Of authority, said it could fall into ne
worthier hands.
Stevenson was received with applause. He
said he accepted the chair with high spp-e-
citation of the honor and responsibility Of the
trust confded to him. He knew that he was
not indebted for the compliment to any per-
sonal merit, but as tribute to his grand old
and its devotion, in sunshine
and storm, to Democratic principles. In the
name of Kentucky, therefore, he presented
his thanks. He welcomed the representative
men of the Democratic party 60 Cincinnati.
There was joy in their coming. He saw in
the faces before him that the flag which they
put out shall be borne triumphantly to VIC
tory. [Applause.] He proceeded at some
length to extol the Democratic party, jts his
tory and misconduct, but as his face was
turned away from the reporters little Of il
could be heard.
On motion, resolution of thanks was ten
derei to the temporary Chairman for the
able and impartial discharge of bis duties,
which Hoadley briefly acknowledged.
