lutions that will not Please Tilden.

cratic State committee met at the Grand
Union Hotel and was called to order at II a.
M by John II. Colby, chairman. The secre-

following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That while our constituents had
no part In the nomination of the electoral
ticket headed by Hon. Abram S. Hewitt we
recognize that in voting for that ticket they
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 at Syracuse and determine that
union and harmony of the party will be best
served by emitting to fill the vacancies.
A lengthy address to the Democracy of the
State was adopted, which congratulates them
upon the felicitous nominations at Cincinnati
and announces that there is now but one party,
one cause and one work in which all Demo-
Gratis should heartily unite, 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 embitter those who should CO.

ambitions on the altar of reunited party: let

The address concludes as follows: We struck
not to wound but to save and our sturdy blows
have made national victory possible We have
achieved our purpose by contributing to the
nomination of presidential ticket that will
be elected. We heartily commend the electors
chosen at the recent state convention held at
