SARATOGA, July %.
The State committee of the Tammany
Democrats met here this morning and was
called to order by John II. Colby, chair
man. Every member was either present
or represented by substitute. Secreta'
~ S. Keels said that he had resigna-
tions from the candidates for electors
who we're nominated at Shakespeare Hall.
Mr.. Page, Of Oswego, moved their accep'
lance. Mr.. Cowen, Of Saratoga, thought
it better to appoint a committee of five
to confer with other organizations before
accepting these designations. No action
was taken on the subject. On motion of
John Kelly, the chairman appointed five
members to act with the chairman and
secretary of the committee to prepare an
address. The committee consists Of
John Kelly. VIM. w. Wright, E. S.
Jenny, A. Lanson, IS. Page and F. l..
Westbrook. The State committee then
took recess until O'clock.
LATER.
The following resolution WAS adopted: (:
Resolred. That while our constituents
had no part in the nomination of the
electoral ticket headed by the Hon.
Abram S. Hewitt, We recognize that vot-
ing for that ticket tn y will vote for our
national candidates whose success would
be jeopardized by retaining two electoral
tickets in the State, and we therefore
accept the resignation of the gentlemen
nominated as electors by the Shakespeare
Hall Convention, and determine that the
union and harmony of the party will be
best served by emitting to fill the vacan-
cies.
The committee adopted an address to
the Democratic party of the State, in
which they say that the nomination of
Hancock has lifted the whole party
above embarrassing local and State dis
fractions to broad national ground, and
has blotted out past alterations by
grand hope. There is now but one party,
one cause and one work, in which all
Democrats should heartily unite, and to
which they should devote their utmost
zeal. Let past alterations be forgotten.
Buried forever be everything that has
tended to divide our counsels and en-
bitter those who should cooperate. Let
us sacrifice personal preferences and am.
bitions on the altar of the united party.
Let everything be done that can be done
with self-respect and honor to strengthen
the Democratic party in the State and
Nation, and secure al unprecedented
Democratic triumph. =
The committee then adopted the fol-
lowing premable and resolutions:
Whereas, the wise and patriotic action
of the Democratic National Convention
recently assembled at Cincinnati in plac-
ing before the people Of the Uui0u as
candidates for President and Vice. Presl.
dent of the United States, Gen. Winfield
Scott Hancock and Hon. VIM. II. En-
glish, has settled all the differences
which have divided the Democratic par
ty upon national issues in this Suite
therefore.
Resoiucd, That with view O: having
q convention in this State wherein all
members of the Democracy of the State
may be fairly and properly represented,
sub. committee of five be appointed by
the chair to confer with the Democratic
Stats committee, of which Hon. Lester
B. Faulkner is chairman, and that sub
committee be clothed with full power in
