Two Democratic Conventions in New York

DOMESTIC NEWS.
Two Democratic Conventions in New York
SYRACUSE, April 20th.-There was great
crush at both the rival Democratic Conven-
tions. Lester B. Faulkner called the regular
Convention to order.
During the roll-call there was much con-
fusion. Seymour's name being mentioned,
caused cheers and misses. A committee from
the Kelly Convention appeared, asking con-
ference. The Chair said the matter would
be placed before the Convention later
Committees on Organization, Contested
Seats and Resolutions, were appointed.
Jacobs was chosen permanent Chairman,
and resolution adopted that delegates from
each Congressional District select State Com
mitteemen to send names to the Chairman.
Each Congressional District proceeded to
name members of committees to select dele
gates to the Cincinnati Convention and Pres
idential electors.
A resolution was adopted informing the
Kelly Convention that this Convention recip-
rocate all expressions of desire for harmony,
and are persuaded that the wisdom of the
National Convention will assure the triumph
OF the Democratic party If New York and in
the Union.
Abram S. Hewitt was chosen electer at
large.
The resolutions denounce the election of
Hayes to the Presidency as fraud declare
that Tilden was elected in 1876, and warmly
eulogize him. While making no instructions,
they intimated that delegations should take
such action as would present this issue of
fraud most strongly, that free voters may
have an opportunity to pass upon that mon
strous crime. Resolutions adopted in pre-
vious Conventions are readopted here, declar-
ing for the unit rule. The rest of the resolu-
tions deal solely with the alleged fraudulent
elevation of President Hayes.
Following are the delegates at large to the
National Convention Lucius Robinson,
+. Pratt, Rufus w. Peckham, Lester w.
Peckham. Alternates: William Henderson,
James f. Starbuck, E. B. Hart, r. A Par
menter. Without filling vacancies on the
State Committee the Convention at 1890
adjourned.
The Kelly, or anti-Tilden, Convention
filled Shakespeare Hall. Dorsheimer was
chosen temporary Chairman. Committees
were appointed and Parker offered a resolu-
tion for Conference Committee to the Til
den Convention, so as to secure united dele.
cation to Cincinnati.
John Kelly was vociferously called for and
cheered. He briefly protested against Til
denis nomination as a disgrace to the party
and the country.
Amasa J. Parker was made permanent
Chairman.
Resolutions were adopted offering adher-
ence to Democratic principles and party !;
urging unity of action among Democrats
everywhere against Republicans; urging an
unpledged delegation from New York; de-
claring Tilden's nomination fatal to the party
and treason to the cause on account of the
powerful oppositions to him; declaring that
the Democracy of New York has been forced
into its present attitude through their fidelity
to principle and devotion to the Democracy
of the nation; we promise to stand by the
party in enthusiastic support of any worthy
Democrat for President.
An address to the Democracy of New York
and the United States accompanies the re-
solutions, which denounces 1'ilden as per-
sonalism, false to Democracy and dangerous
to the republic declaring him unfit for office
and sure of defeat. His political career has
been selfish, treacherous and dishonorable !;
his name has been connected with attempts
to bribe electors by cipher dispatches and
his nomination would sound the knell of
Democratic defeat, as hundreds of thousands
of Democrats could not vote for him.
