JOHN KELLY.
Mr. Young said under the rules OF The
House there was one hour for debate, OIL
which he proposed two thirds be given 70
the contestants and their friends. ZAP
plsuse.1 Loud cries OF Platform, Take
nl.fform." caused Mr.. Young TO go on The
stage, and he proposed 10 give forty min
MES 10 any man who would be suggested
biz Mr.. Kelly, OF New York, reservins his
own twenty minutes to reply. [Applause
and bisses.
|. The Char stated that he understood it to
be the wish OF the contestants 10 be repre-
senled bv Mr.. Kelly, and asked that he be
accorded that privilege. Misses and cries
OF " Yes" Yes"
Finally the Chair announced that he heard
no objection, and invited Mr.. Kelly 10 the
platform.
KELLY ABSENT AND NOT ACCOUNTED FOR.
Mr.. Kelly not being In the hall, the SER
pcaut-at-arms was instructed to escort any
body to the platform whom the New York
contestants should indicate. In response
George ". Miller, OF Albany, came forward
and was greeted with applause. lie hoped
the riyht OF free speech would not be IN
terrupted for moment by any man III
whose veins flows drops OF Democratic
blood. TCbeers.l The contestants came
here with the same earnest desire is anl'
mated all delegates in this hall. Applause.
They came with no fre-brand, but to pre-
sent an olive branch, with the view to u
victorious success. Reference to The name
Of Kelly was greeted with applause and i
storm OF Kisses, renewed when the speaker
declared that he had no superior in lDte2-
ritv and devotion TO Democratic principle,
and the party. He proceeded to argue the
limportauce Of giving the Tammany men
some representation in this body as the
means OF securing unity and success.
A WARNING, IF NOT A THREAT.
Mr.. Miller said only fifteen OF the contest
ants are from New York. aud The remain
der Of them represented over 10000 Demo-
Gratis, scattered all over the state. and num-
bering al least one fifth of the Democratic
vote in said State. Speaking for the con-
testsnts from the rural dis Is, he said
they w"nted 10 support ) ever shnnld
| be made the candidates OF ms COnVen-
ton. They were all ANXIOUS only for
such proceedings here as shall tend best
| to promote and insure a great triumph.
! Applause. But deprive the rank and
! file Of their leaders, and, like soldiers in
the field, there was danger that they
would be damoralized and skuik away
from the fight. But il the Convention
would observe Democratic precedents
and give the contestants here an oppOr-
tunity 10 participate in its proceedings
he could assure them that the Demo-
cracy would carry the State OF New
York. [ApplauSe.l He proceeded 10 urge
that the sitting delegates here were the re-
representatives. OF machine politics, against
which public sentiment was protesting in
| the Democratic rs we'll as the Republican
party, and unles; some compromise OF this
question should be made here it would be
impossible to prevent running two Demo-
cratic electoral tickets in New York, and
this would tend to defeat. He and his
| friends could not control the result, try as
they might, unless the Convention should
give them the twenty seats recommended
by the minority report. Give them these
and they could draw out and make effective
magnificent Democratic vote OF New
York, which would secure victory next
autumn.
SPEECH OF AMASA PARKER.
Amasa Parker, announced by the Chair
man as a sterling old Democrat, followed
for the contestants. He said that the con-
testants represented the Democracy OF all
the rural districts-at least 100000 Demo-
Gratis OF that State-who demanded 10 be
heard here. He came in spirit OF
harmony, with great desire that the wis
dom and patriotism OF this Convention
should unite the party, and redeem them
and The Government. He and his asso-
ciates from the rural districts should sup
port whatever ticket should be named here.
[Applause He voted for Governor Robin
son. [Applause.] The contestants repre-
sent there much more than the 10000 Tam
many vote in New \ ork city, or the 10000
votes cast for Kelly for Governor.
MR.. HUBBARD IN FAVOR OF THE MINORITY
REPORT.
Mr.. Hubbard, OF Texas, sustained the
minority report. He was not here repre-
seDting any faction in the party. but only
great State. which the census would soon
show bad two million people. Her dele
gates came her prepared TO vote for Samuel
