SYRACUSE, April 20.-The regu.
lar democratic state convention was
called to order here at noon to .day
by Lester d. Faulkner, chairman
OF the state central committee, who,
in the course of his Introductory re.
marks, referred to Tilden as man
who had never been defeated before
the people and never would be.
Tlden's name was received with
mingled applause and Kisses. Mr..
Faulkner nominated as temporary
chairman, John G. Jacobs, of Kings
county, who was elected. The roll
was then called, and the contestiug
delegations appeared from a number
of metropolitan and rural dis,
tricts. In the midst of some-
what excited debate with regard
to the way in which the committee
on credentials should be made up.
Mr.. John D. Hoskins, representing
committee of sixteen from the
Tammany convention, which was in
session at Shakespeare Hall, intro
duced himself for the pur>
pose Of proposing conference.
He submitted resolutions which the
Tammany convention had adopted
setting forth the necessity for har>
monious action on the part of
the democracy Of New York in
order to carry that state for the
democratic nominee, and appointing
a committee of sixteen to confer
with a similar committee from the
regular convention, with a
view to decide upon such
action as should secure united
delegation to the Cincinnati conven-
ton.
The chair said that, after the roll
call should be finished, he would lay
these resolutions before the conven-
ton.

recommend the nomination Of
Horatio Seymour wild cheers that
would unite the party, and it would
move forward to victory with the
resistless current of the waves.

resolutions referred to in the pro-
ceedings of the regular convention,

MURDERED BY Law.
A TRAGIC DEATH IN a MUDDY GUTTER,


A city's sights are strange to see''
too full of misery; and curious are her
sounds to hear, too often apt to start a
tear. This morning to a certain spot
it was a young reporters LOT, by sounds
Of woe and suffering sore, to be at
tracted; and when he reached the
crowded scene, he pushed his way as
through screen, to view victim in
his gore, if not, in fact, dead. Alas,
indeed, scene Of blight, that chilled
his heart with horrid fright, and made
him wish that day was night, came,
sickening, upon his sight. A hund
red eyes were in the gutter, and fifty
hearts were in a Autter, ahundred lips
were in mutter, and fifty souls in
sadness utter.
In mud and blood, perfect fuod, a
bark Of life was standing there; tossing
meath the public stare; beyond the
reach Of human care; grooming, quiv
eriug, struggling, Shivering, signing,
dying, sinking truly in the gutter;
who ever heard, of woe more utterl
Wells ye people, may ye muttef.
His eyes that stared S, painfully,
once were bright twas plain to see;
his limbs that cramped at foot and
knee were doubtles lraisel quite fire.

such a straining twas said held lungs
in perfect training toconquer all in
vocal might and lead the music Of the
night.
"Why doth this noble creature die?
Lives there a soul can tell me why?"
asked the reporter. "Is it by any law
that Legislators draw, or rule of court,
or just for sport, or why-can no one
answer"
ID can, sir, said a policeman.
"Then do so, if you please, man."
"This fellow was as mean a dog as
ever walked the street; sneaking,
thieving scoundrel whom twas
said was the leader Of a dan
gsrous band that set upon boy, and
left him but bloody mass for doc
