New-York State Convention OF 1875. it was read
and adopted without a cheer without so much as q
murmur of applause, in cold silence. and cold
silence ia what Mr.. Tilden's party have
treated him to with great liberality. but
now, as l already stated, he could ENJOY tue
novel sensation of real personal enthusiasm Row
far this has gone may be judged when 1t is stateu
that one of the kilograms received here declared
Mr.. Tiden to be the greatest American since Henry
Clay. Considering the Odious comparisons winch
have likened him to a clam for GOODNESS, ana nave
even dashed the clam. this is doing pretty WELL IL
should be added, however, that the Tilden cheering
to-day was as the Tilden talk has been,mosty out

that the Convention had interrupted him IN the

COLONEL FELLows's SPEECH.
Colonel John II. Fellows was put forward by tho
Tilden delegates as their first spokesman. Ills
speech was we'll conceived but was in some respects
disappointment. HIS voice was hardly equal 10

ers had done, from the chairman's desk, lie sald
the question was of far greater Importance than
whether one man or another should sit in this
Convention. 1t was n question whether the State
of New-York was great enough to select It's own
representatives in the Convention or not. ms was

Fellows said be would address himself to the heads
rather than TO the heels Of the Convention AS this
was what the Tammany takers had been doing.

story of tho Syracuse bolt, tten turn

DELEGATION, Colonel Fellows said Governor
Hubbard, do you remember what caused the split
in the Democratic party OF New-IOrk IN
1856 ~ Governor Hubbard had argued from
the half aud half precedent set in the
Convention of that year that Tammany Hall
might at least have twenty delegates. Colonel
Fellows then took up the pledges gwen by
Judge Parker and George w. Miller TO support the
nominee and reminded the Convention that four
teen of these delegates would be the followers OF
John Kelly, and he had stated to the Committee on
Credentials that il the Convention dared
friends would bolt again. Colonel Fellows
closed with an appeal to such States as South
Carolina and Virginia, tho great exponents
of State rights not to strike down the Democracy OF
Ney-York and was rewarded at the end with
hearty cheer. Five minutes still remained OF the
time of each sile. 1t was divided by +. H. West
brook of Ncw-York, for the contestants. and Rufus
w. Peckham for the sitting delegates. Meanwhile
Wade Hampton had teephonodS to Mr.. Kelly at
the Burnett House to come and speak to the Con-
vention, but Mr. Kelly had more sagacity than
Wade Hampton, and doubtless knew his reception
ia the temper of tho Convention, would be very
unpleasant one. il. indeed, he was allowed to speak
at ALL General Young, Of Georgia, chairman OF the
committee glosed the debate, saying in the course
of his remarks Governor Tiden is not before this

THE VOTING.
The roll-call then began on tho motion TO subsi-
tute the report of the minority for that OF the ma
iorty The yeas favored Tammany's admission
the nays favored the sitting delegation. The roll
call started off well for Tammany. Alabama gave
q majority Of her votes yea. and Arkansas all Of
hers Illinois gave 20 of ITS AZ votes the same
way. But ii soon became apparent that TammaDy
was TO be overwhelmingly beaten. Indiana,
which, in view Of tho friendly relations OF
Hendricks and Kelly. might have been ex-
pected to vote the other way, cast all of her
votes against Tammany. Iowa cast her %
in the same pair Of scales aud Kentucky cast
% more. Louisiana, too, was solid in the
negative. Massachusetts,, half made up Of bolt

against Tammany-15 TO 8. Michigan voted

States. When NewYork was called Daniel Man
ming asked that tho delegation be excused for the
present 1t was plain that he intended to use the
voto of the State II 1t should become
necessary. Ohio gave 81 NAYS to II yeas-just
the PAYNE and Thurman votes respectively. Penn
sylvania gave Al nays to 10 yeas. The roll call went
on, Wisconsin bringing mp the rear with solid
vote of no. The minority was evidently large. and
when New-YOrk was called again Daniel Manning
asked that the delegation DO excused from voting.
They were excused, and tho vote stood, without the
aid OF the 80 undisputed votes of New-York, 457
