| SYRACUSE, April 20.--The regular cOnyen-
Lon reassembled al s O'Clock, and the com.
mittees on organization, contested seats and
| resolutions were appointed, when the conyen-
ton took a recess.
During roll call there was much confusion,
Seymours name being mentioned caused
cheers and hisses A committee from the
Kelly convention appeared asking confer
i ence. The Chair SAID the matter would be
placed before the convention later.
| A resolution was adopted that the delegates
from the several Congressional districts elect
one member from each district for commit
tee on credentials, and the question OF con-
ference with the Kelly convention was refer
red TO the committee on resolutions. The
several Congressional district delegations
were then authorized to draw one delegate
from each district TO the national convention
at Cincinnati. In twenty minutes time the
conyention was called to order and awaited
the report of the committe on contested seats.
The committee reported that all sitting menu
bols as piacedj on the roll by the State COM
mittec were enttled to seats, and the previous
question was ordered.
Drown, Of Otsego, denounced such priva-
J ton Of the minority of their right to report,
, and protested against this infamyI (Applause.)
The committee reports were then adopted.
'Jacobs was chosen permanent chairman,
, and Il resolution was adopted that delegates
from each Congressional district select a
State committee and send the. e.iiames to the
Chairman. Each Congressional delegate then
proceeded to members Of the committee to
select delegates to the Cinnci,.nau conven--
E ton and Presidential electors.
The resolution in favor of the two-thirds
rule was adopted and Abraham S. Hewitt
: w1s chosen clector at large.
Resolutions dcnouncipg the elevation. OF
Hayes 10 the Presidency as fraud were ex-
:; tended. The resolutions declare that I:lden
u was elected in 1876, and warmly eulogise
u him. While making no instructions, they in
tifuate that delegates should take such action
u as would present this issue .of fraud most
9 strongly, and that free voters may have an
q opportunity % pass upon that monstrous
!. crime. The resolutions adopted in the pre-
c vious conventions are re-adopted here deear
u ing for the unit rule. For the rest the resolu.
J. ;. tions deal solely wtirthe alleged fraudulent
u elevation of President Hayes.
