THE UNIT RULE ENFORCED FOR PAYNE.
When Mayor CoopeTs name was called he rose
and stated that he desired to explain his vote. He
said that bis choice for President was Mr. Tilden,
| but having become convinced that Mr.. Tilden was
not candidate he should vote for Henry B. Payne
as the next best thing.
| When the roll-call had been completed Smith NJ.
Weed said that he did not think under the instruc-
tions of fle State Convention. it was necessary
| but in order to make the vote formal he moved
| that the chairman Of the delegation be
| instructed to cast the 20 votes of New-York for
Henry b. Payne until otherwise ordered, and that
after the frtt ballot he be directed to retire the
delegation for consultation at any time Mt the re-
quest of fifteen members.
William c. Kingsley, of Brooklyn, then said
that whilo his vote would be cast for Mr..
Payne until the chairman was authorized
to cast il otherwise, he believed that
the nomination of PAYNE would be unwise and i'm
polite This was the opinion of Kings County
which did not think he was the strongest man to run
in New-York. Mr. Kingsley said he should regard
it as the right and privilege to give his views upon
this point whenever asked for them and also to so
state them, if lie choose, to the Convention
Ex-COngressman Beebe said that whereas
heretofore, he had not done any work for Payne
with the other delegations, now he should take OIL
his coat and go to work. He was for lildep first.
He had great regard for Mr.. Tildeus opinion. and
knew that Mr.. TiIden believed Mr.. Payne to be the
strongest man to run in New-YOrk.
sTkBBING TILDEN IN THE BACK.
Timothy Shea then followed in ferocious Tilden
speech. He said he Samuel j. Tlden first last
and all the time. He believed the Payne movement
had been precpitated upon the delegation by men
who had been near to Mr. Tilden. who were not
now speaking his sentiments The only thing for
the delegation to do to nominate Mr.. TIlden in
spite of bis letter.
MrSheas remarks were warmly resented by Smith
NJ. Weed. who denied angrily that Mr. Tlden's
friends were stabbing him IN the back.
Colonel Fellows made n long speech. He did not
claim that Payne would carry Ohio hut argued
that hb could keep down reduce the Republican
majority in tho State. He believed him to be the
strongest man for New-York. New-Jersey and Con
negtcut the doubtful States next to Tiden him.
self Colonel Fellows took care to say, as
most Of the Tden men did, that he
for Tiden first. but lie went further than
any of the others. and said that while ho
strong for Payne rs any man of the delegation, il
Mr.. Tiden's name was brought before the Con-
venion in any way, his vOto would not be cast for
Henry b. Payne on the second ballot.
George w. Smith who is strong Tildcn man.
said he did not think that Payne was the mau to he
nominated. IIc did not believe in the policy OF TAX
lug an ONO man. III view Ol the OctOiw'r elections
He Thought if proper that the sentiment of the
minority of tho delegation should bc made kuoNn
to the Convention.
Neither Mr.. Smith nor any Of the other speakers
questioned tho right of the majority to cast the full
vote of the State. Several said they did not
propose to do what WAS done Mt Chicago III that
line.
OPPOSITION TO PAYNT.
During Colonel Fellows's speech William {. Kings
ley and Senator jacobs asked hum number Of
questions about Mr.. Payne's connection with the
Electoral Commission. his ability to Iun III New
York, and 10 on.
Henry c. Nelson, who voted for Randall. is q law
partner OF Speaker RandalPs brother-ln-law.
As the vote shows the Brooklyn delegates voted
for English 1hc purpose OF the withdrawal OF
Judge Pratt was thus made clear Attempts have
been in progress for several days to bring about
union of the New-YOrk. Connecticut and New-Jer-
sey =, delegations for ex-GoycrnGr English;
that if those delegations from the three
doubtful States could be united at any time. their
choice would he instantly accepted by southern
delegates and would be ratified by the COnvrniion
but 80 tar, nothing has come OF the schcIne except
this abnrtive movement in the New York drlega-
Governor English, of course and tho dominant IN
fluence in the New Jersey delegation is for Bayard
The Payne neil were naturally clated ut Their
victory.
