rnE TAhhAHYITRs.
The an,i.Tilden OF Tammauy convention
was called n order IN Shakespeare hall, At
noon to-day by John ID. Haskins, Of Now
York city, and organized by electing Hon.
VIM. Dorsholmer as Temporary Chairman.
Mr.. Dorsheimer thanked the convention for
the honor paid him, and said II was the duty
Of every Democrat In Syracuse " do all In
his power 10 bring about union and con
solldaton Of the party, so that some Demo
ornt might be named In the National
convention who would secure the
united support OF tho Democrats
Of New York. He claimed that this was a
Democratic State, and II there WAS wisdom
enough TO recommend the nomination OF ho-
ratio Seymour, wild choersl that would unite
the party and II would move forward 10 VIC
tory with the resislless current of the waves.
hmasa Parker then offered resolutions,
which we're referred TO the proceedings In the
regular convention, providing for tho appoint
ment Of conference committee with Y view
10 the harmonious action OF the two conven-
tons. The resolutions were adopted, the
committee appointed and the convention I'D
journed until 4 o'clock.
Upon re.assembling the convention trans
acted some routine business.
Mr. Haskins reported the result OF the at
tempt TO bring about harmony between tho
two conventions. He feared itwould end Ms
did similar attempt made last year.
John Kelly then made short but bitter
speech. attacking Mr.. Tilden hercely and de-
claring that his nomination for President
would be a Disgrace TO the party and to the
country, and wrong which the people
would not tolerate.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Ke'lyt remarks,
Amos j. Parker, Of Albany, was elected Per-
manent Chairman.
The Commlttee on Resolutions then re-
ported nm address to the Democracy of the
State and nation. After declaring adhe-
renee TO the time honored principles OF
Democratic policy, and setting forth
the vital necessity of union
and harmony In the forthcoming
contest, the address deplores the division
of the party in New York, which, 1t says,
they could not prevent and cannot heal
without sacrificing self.respect and the Dem
ocratic cause This unhappy division, the
address says, results solely from the deter
mined aud persistent etlsrls OF Samuel j.
Tilden to secure the Democratic nomination
TO the Presidency. For this end
he had conspired and contrived
to get control Of the party organization,
which he has converted into personal ma
chine and used in high-handed and unscrup-
ulous ways, in total disregard of the wishes OF
the people. After recnpitulatng the history
of the contest between the Tilden and anti
Tilden factions in New York. a contest which
it alleges is based on Tilden's determination
to be captain or wreck the ship.
The address, speaking for the Democracy
of the Empire State, says 1--WE
protest against The nomination Of Samuel j.
Tildcn for the Presidency, becauseh he is unfit
for the office and his election to it would be a
national calamity; because his nomination
would defeat and disgrace the party beyond
recovery, and because his nomination would
deliver the country over 10 another four years
of Republican extravaganza and misrule,
Weprotest against his nomination because
his record is not clear; because his political
career has been marked with selfish
ness, treachery and dishonesty, and
because he has lost the respect and confidence
and friendship of many Of the best men in
the party, to whom 1t looks for guidance; be.
cause he has damaged the Democracy more
than any other man in the country; because
his name is irretrevably connected with at.
tempts to bribe electors and with scandals
brought TO light by cipher dispatches; be-
cause hundreds of thousands Of
Democrats cannot conscientiously
vote for him, and his nomination
would sound the knell of Democratic defeat.
The situation calls for the ablest, wisest and
best leadership the party can have We
appeal to you to send unpledged delegations
of representative men, who need no instruc-
tons to select az Democratic standard bear
ers men who will unite the party, inspire
public confidence kinde popular enthusiasm
and lead to victory.
After the adoption of the foregoing adj
dress and the appointment of the delegates to
resolution was adopted.
:. Resolved, That the delegates Of this con,
veution to the National Democratic conven-
ton. to be held at Cincinnati June 22d, are
hereby instructed that it is the desire of the
Democracy of this State that the National
shall enforce, as before, the two
thirds rule in the nomination of a candidate
for the Presidency. The convention then
adjourned sine die.
