o1hACU6E, Apru zU-JOuu D. aabhlhSJ U Nsw York, called the convention to order and nominated for temporary chairman Will liam Dorsheimer, which was received witl long-continued applause. When Mir. Dorshei
 mer took the chair he was received with ap
 pisuse- He said 1t was the duty of ever, Democrat in Syracuse to do all in his power t.
 bring about the union of the party, to th end that some Democrat might be named il
 the National convention who would Gecur
 the united support of the Democracy of Nev
 York. He would say nothing to prevent this
 Let those who wished to keep the party dis
 united take the responsibility; it should TO
 be upon him, and he did not believe it woult
 be upon those present. He said that this wa
 Democratic State, and if there was wisdom
 enough to recommend the nomination O
 Horatio Seymour (wild chesrs,) that would
 unite the party and it would move forward tc
 victory with the resistless current of ths
 waves. He urged the convention to do all 1T
 it's power to send a delegation to Cincinnati
 which will truly represent the Democrats ot
 the State, and if that failed, then to advise
 and inform the Democracy of the Union what
 the sentiment of the State is. (Applauss.)
 The call of the roll was then proceeded with.
 When the name of s. s. Cox was called dele.
 gate said that his duties in Cengrsss unfortu
 nately prevented his attendance. Amasa J. Parks. of Albany, offered resolution, which in long preamble recited the necessity of united action and closed as follows:
 Resolved, That committee of sixteen members of this congention two from each judicial district, bs appointed by the chair to meet with like committee appointed by the other conventon if Euch committee Jnfa action the part of both conventions will provide for united delegation to the National convention aud the will the vote of this State the Democratic nominee for the Presidency.
 The chair announced the following commit tee under these resolutions John B. Haskin, Henry D. Purroy, Anthony Barrett, E. A. Lawrence, Erastus Corning, Amasa J. Parks, Timothy Hoyle, Sidney J. Cewan, P. P. Mid dler, Colonel J. s. Grouse, J. J. O'Connor, c. Van Allen, R. s. Armstrong, John McDou- gall, John H. Buck, O. G. BissslI.
 J. D. Hawley, of Onondaga, moved that 8 committee on resolutions be selected by Con gressional delegations. Carried. The con- vention then took recess until o'clock.
 The convention reassembled at 4:5O. Mr. Corbett asked if the committee to visit the other convention was ready 10 report. Mr. Haskins came forward and stated that the committee had visited the other convention and presented the object of their visit. Their IShOlullCuS A6u OcOl IClcIISO tO tAo COmlult- tee on resolutions in that convention without being read. "This convention" he said, 'had rendered the olive branch, but he feared the other Democrats would do again what they did last year." The convention took a recess of ten minutes to allow the committee on permanent organization to conclude their Iabors. During the interval of waiting John Kelly. The latter referred to the action of the late conventions last fall. "The offence of Tammany," he said, 'had been that 1t did not favor the renomination of Lucius Robin son for Governor. It had bssn said that he (Kelly) would not poll 5000 votes. The record shows that he received 77,0oo, and if the people had voted as they felt he had no doubt he would have received 15O, 900. They had come here to protest against the nomina- tion of Tilden, because they did not believe it would be creditable to the party, or that he would be elected. This convention had offered the olive branch to the other and it's resolutions had been treated with contempt. The other convention did not mean to do anything tending to harmony, because they were determined to nominate Tilden. The Democrats now had an opportunity to elect the President, but the Democrats must act i'll unison. Kelly read paper that had been put in his hands, showing that Tilden's grand during the Revolutionary war, and he said iE WAS natural to suppose that some of the blood of the father was in the son. It might not be proper to bring that up now, but he urged that there was nothing in the history of Til dan 10 indicate that T1lden was any different from his grandfather.
 The committee on permanent organization in favor of Amasa J. Parker, of AL bany, for president, and one vice president and one secretary from each Congressional and they were elected. Judge Parker said, on taking his seat that he felt the honor all the more because this was a convention freely chosen, representing all interests aud occupations, coming here for the purpose of smoothing the way to harmony. It is mis- take to suppose that this convention repre- sents simply the 77,ooo persons who voted for Kelly. Many who voted for Robinson undar protest are with you, for they believe that if Tilden is nominated the State will be lost. It Is strange that Tilden should persist in being candidate his State committee to organize a State convention in the way they have this convention. He said he had come here for harmony, to favor the nomination of man who could be elected. The olive branch has been rendered to the other convention and they treat it with contempt. What answer can they make at Cincinnati?
 Mir Callicott from the committee on reso- Iutions, presented a report The platform euunciates the doctrine of the rights of States under the Constitution, the superiority of civil over military power; advocates free elections and the necessity for attachment to the traditions of party; fevors harmony, union and co-cperatlon; deplores the divis- icn in the party which comes from the per- sistent efforts of one man to convert the par ty to personal machine to secure the Presi dency: asserts that Tilden defeated the party in 1S77 protests against his nomination, be- cause he is unfit and cannot be elected; and favors an unpledged delegation to Cincinnati. The resolution directs each Congressional del egation to name two delegates and alternates to Cincinnati. They were adopted.
 MT. Cowan, of Saratoga, offered resolution referring the appointment of electors to a new State convention. An amendment was offered to have the Congressional delegates name their electors. MT. Kelly made short speech in favor of nominating an electoral ticket. He offered an amendment that the names of electors be presented at the evening session. The question became somewhat con- fused, but it was finally decided to make up an electoral ticket before adjourning, and the convention then took a recess until s p. m.
 The convention reassembled at 8:30 p. m., when the chair announced committee of eight to present to the convention the names of four delee -es at large to Cincinnati and two electors 1t large. John B. Haskins was called and made speech eulogizing Seymour and denouncing Tilden. MT. Kelly, from the committee of eight, reported the follow ing delegates and alternates at large Delegates, Amasa J. Parker of Albany, and William Dorsheimer of New York, Jere miah McGuire of Chemung and George 0. Green of Niagara. Alternates, Isaac Mo Conike of RensellRer, B. F. Wood, James s. Grouse of Onondaga and A. s. Page of Oswe- go. The following were reported for electors at large: Augustus Schell of New York and Erastus Corning of Albany. The report was adopted.
 MT. Lawrence, of Queens, presented ress olution referring to the other convention as that called by Faulkner, Apgar $ Co.,, which was referred to the committee on resolutions. A resolution that the delegates to the Cincin- nati convention be instructed that 1t is the sense of this convention that that convention continue to enforce the two-thirds rule was adopted.
