closed with the recommendation that the sitting
delegates from New-York retain their seats was
we'll cheered by the New-Yorkers in the galleries.
To the surprise of some, minority report was SUD-
mitted but the minority being 80 small IL was
supposed the attempt to make contesC

Kansas, the chairman of the minorty,was AMBITIOUS
to read his own report, and the little colloquy that
took place was only worth mentioning because IL
illustrated Judge Hoadley's methods OF presIdlng'
which suggested the contortions of an electric eel
General Young first asked that the secretary should
be allowed to read the report, and then when MT
Carrolps desire to read it himself became evident
General Young suggested he should do so. Inc

about it," said Judge Hoadley, with grimace and
sudden jerk Of the hinge Of his spinal column, ana

expired. Mr.. Carrols report was plea Tor mar

General Young stated that the committee had spent
the night in the investigation of the case oil New
York. and that he was directed by the committee
to demand the previous question upon the report.
This motion was seconded, and when General
Young afterward attempted to withdraw Nr'

THE FIRST ROILrCAIL.
The roll-call was without special incideut, and
was not followed with great interest. There could
not we'll be q test vote with dozon candidates in
the field, and the question presented no dividing
line for the sentiments of the Convention. 1t
seemed to be apparent. however, that a great many
Of the votes against the previous question were ac-
tuated by the old ant-Tilden following. The gal
leres which had had little chance to exercise their
heels or their lungs, appauded votes on one side OF
the other impartially. When the State of Ncw-York
was called Daniel Manning arose and stated that
New-York declined to vote. Judge HOadley put the
question, in loud voice, e Shall the State OF
New-YOrk be excused from voting " and decided
1t amid general applause that, there heng no OBJ
lection she was so excused The roll-call showed
655 votes cast of which $50 were for the previous
question, 295 against. II New-YOrk had voted for
the previous question, there would have been 43O
votes in its favor The announcement was cheered.
General Young then made tho point of order that

one hour was allowed for debate; of that time, he
said, he would allow forty minutes to the con-
testants and their friends. Under the impression
that General Young himself intended to speak,
there were loud cries of platform. platform" and
Judge HOadley cried out in cracked voice, II

him to come here" and as be said 1t he

he were extracting cork from an obstinate bottle
General Young repeated his announcement from the
platform and there cries from various parts of
the house, kelly" These woro greeted with
mingled applause and Kisses. Judge lIoadley then
made another Of his proclamations, saying that he
understood it to be the wish of the contestants from
New-York that they should be represented by John
Kelly, and again the mention Of Kelly's name was
greeted with fierce Kissing and applause. Judge
Hoadley then proceeded to say that he invited John
Kelly state the OF the contestants from New
York. but Mr.. Kelly did not appear. the chairman
called upon the contestants to choose some one else
to speak for them.
THE PLEA FOR TAMMANY.
George W. Miller of Albany, AmasaJ. Parker and
two or three others Of the Tammany delegation
arose in their places outside the rail- and proceeded
through the middle aisle to the platform. Mr.. Miller

the bearticst cheer thus far Of the Convention.
They had not expected hearing before the Con-
vention after the action of the committee, or they
would have been represented before the Convention
by their leader At this the Kisses and cheers for
Kelly broke out again, and were renewed when Mr..
Miller went on to say that, whatever might be
thought with regard to that man, lie had superior
IN this audience land here the Kisses and
cheers stopped the speaker for q momentl
in devotion to the Democratic party. Then
Mr. Miller made bid for Bayard sympathy by
ferrng to the fact that the settlement in the Con-
yention of 1876 when the vote of New-YOrk was
divided betw cen the rival delegations, made
upon the motion of tho glorious sire Of
that glorious man Thomas f. Bayard,
and he got no cheers for his trouble.
Then he made his most interesting statement by de-
caring that they intended to support any candidate
nominated by this Convention. This was received
with great cheering, but Mr.. Miller did not say
whom he meant when he said "we." Then he re-
duced his argument TO a more burlesque by de-
nouncing tbs Tilden delegation as the product
of machine politics. This spokesman of Tammany
Hall assured the Convention without even twin
kle in his eye that public opinion was against ma
chine politics, and pointed them to the Chicago
Convention as n proof. Finally he threatened the
Convention little. ave have nominated two
electoral tickets" said he; " how we going to

JUDGE PARKER GIVES WARNING.
Amasa J. Parker was then introduced by Judge
Hoadley with characteristic effusOn. and addressed
himself to the history of the Syracuse Convention.
He warned the Convention that the party was on
the eve of Presidential struggle upon which de-
pended the question of Democratic power for twenty
years to come. II not longer.
Judge Parker then repeated the pledge given by
Mr.. Miller 1--WE come here" he said, fully in
tending to support any candidate you may nOmi-
