but the Tildenites say they anticipate nothing
OF the kind.
Lively Opening Of the Regular Con.
SYRACUSE, April 2o.-The weather is bright
ana delightfully."- cool. At 1927 MI. Lester ID.
Faulkner, chairman of the state central COM
mittee, calledt the convention to order. In the
course OF his remarks he commented on what he
called the elevation of Mr.. Hayes to the presi-
dency by fraud. If he who was In fact elected,
had chosen to lead Mexican revolt and had
have sprung forward to establish the result.
The name OF Samuel j. Tilden was received with
great applause, mingled with Misses which were
renewed when the speaker stated that Mr.. Til
den forbade the assertion Of his own right to the
presidency out OF greater regard for the peace
OF his country. He was not informed whether
that distinguished citizen would again accept
call to the official position. [Laughter.l Hehad
never been defeated before the people zap
plausel; and he never will be. In conclusion he
named for temporary chairman, Mr.. John c.
JACOBS, OF Kings county, who was elected.
The call of the roll was then proceedA., with. iii
When New York was called Mr DuniSnac mueno of
the 9Th District, preSentaa a list OF 1p Contest
..s delegates from New York. and it was re-
ferred 70 Tie committee on credentials the
char declining to entertain motion by Mr.
Dup1gnac that the list be accepted by this con-
Vent1on in lieu Of those which have been re-
corded by the state committee.
MT. ThOs. Brady presented the names of con-
testing delegates from the 4th district OF New
York. Referred.
Contesting credentials were also presented
and referred from the 22d district OF New York
and I'd district OF Niagara: also, from the I'd
district Of Wayne and from Cortland county.
Referred.
Mr.. Hill, of Cheming, moved the following
"Resolved, that the delegates IRON the Sew
eral congressional districts select one dele
gate from each congressional district to consti-
tute committee on credentials. to which COM
mittee as thus constituted shall be referred all
questions OF contested seats.
Mr. Miller, OF Syracuse moved to amend the
resolution to read as follows: .ResOlred That a
committee of one from each congressional dis
tflct be appointed by the delegates thereIfom
WhoSe seats are not contested, to which COM
mlttee all credentials shall be referred"
MI. Hill opposed the amendment and sus-
tanned MS own resolution as the same adopted
In 1879, and also last year, when it
was adopted unanimously, with the concur
renee OF Dorsheimer and Kelly. Mr.. Miller was
opposed to following the lead of Dorshemer and
Kelly. He preferred to follow the earlier and
better precedentS, which were In conformity
with the amendment which he had presented.
Mr. Dupignac, OF New York, took the floor.
but was ruled out OF order as not a member of
the convention. Mr.. Dupgnac insisted that he
ought to be heard, as he said MOrrissey was
when he came to the convention as contest
ant. lie should be allowed to present the case
OF himself and associates.
The chairman said the rules must be observed.
and he could not recognize the gentleman as en-
titled to be heard here
MIR. Hill characterized the present making up
OF the roll OF delegates as an uSurpati on OF
power by the state committee. II the people
are to be disfranchiSed here then this cOnven-
tion has no authority to bind the people, and
its action will amount to nothing. [Great ap-
plause.l He urged the convention to repudiate
such proceedings and establish justice and
right. Continued applause
MIR. Faulkner, of livingston rose, but was
greeted with great Commissions. Calls for vari-
Gus other speakers hearty cheers for Gov. Sey-
mOur, and hlSSeS evidently for the purpose of
preventing Mr. Faulkner from being heard.
The gentleman, however, stood his ground
until order was restored, when he proceeded to
support Mr. HIPS resolution and to show that
Mr. Rugger supported the same proposition In
1877. He was frequently interrupted by Kisses
In the course OF his speech he alluded to Pres
the crime [of the Electoral Commissionl. in
shameless confession of his own completely,
rewarded his accomplices by the gift of honor
able Offices. No villain was so obscure no part
in the presidential larceny was so humble as to
escape grateful recognition from the man who
was not elected President The best title
to his favor, was the most energetic wickedness
in behalf OF his power to bestoW it.
The chair stated the question On Mr.. Millers
amendment. Mr.. John b. Hachins by consent
here interrupted and said he represented a com,
-
the Tammany convention to confer with a
similar committee OF this convention. hereby
of1er the resolutions adopted by our convention:
The chair replied that after the roll shall
nave been called he would lay before the con-
vention the resolutions presented by Mr. Hask-
ms The indications are that Millers amend
ment will be rejected.
