After our report closed Yesterday, Mr. Has
k1nS, from the committee of conference APP
pointed to wait On the other convention with a
proposition for union, briefly stated their action
(aS recorded In the proceedings OF that conven-
tion.) He expressed fears that the proposition
would meet with the same fate which befell the
efforts for harmony last fall. John Kelly was
called for, and on appearing on the platform
three cheers were given for him. He referred
to the manner In which the proposition ten
dered to the other convention had been treated
with contempt He insisted that the nomina-
ton OF Tilden would be great wrong-Sucl a
wrong as the people would not tolerate. The
committee on permanent organization then
reported, and AmaSa j. Parker, OF AL

Mr.. T. c. CallicOt, from the committee on reSo-
lutfonS, then reported an address to the de-
mocracy OF the state and nation. which was

and aims OF democracy the address says: "IC

racy OF New York last fall and gave the whole
government OF the state to the republicans.
Ever since that humiliatfng defeat he has been
plotting and working for the same end, tighten
ing his grip on the party organizations, refusing
10 consider proposals for harmony, widening
the breach OF the democratic ranks and init
mating through his agents that ii he is not
