NEW YORK.

| form. NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-After the unsatisfac l tory ending of the conference held last even | ing between the two factions of the Republi
 can party, there seemed prospect of lively times in the organization of the convention to-day, and at 10 o'clock, the time set fol opening the doors of the Academy of Music, the vast hall was crowded from pit to dome and thousands were compelled to remain out side, unable to gain admission. Previous to the convention. about o'clock, the State committee met at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, Chairman T. c. Platt presiding. The meet ing was peaceable and the business was transacted expeditiously. The stalwarts be- ing in the majority, they did what seemed pleasing in their several sights, among these things being to see that the stalwart dele gates were taken care of. The stalwart con- testants in Oswego, Oneida and Albany counties were placed on the roll, while in New York and Kings counties the same rule was observed whenever it could possibly be applied. The question of. temporary chair man was discussed, and the choice of the committee fell on Representative Hiscock. A stalwart programme throughout for the com vention was arranged.
 At 11:15 the convention was called to order by e1-Senator Platt, there being probably over 4, 900 people in the Academy, many ladies among the number. After the roll call Speaker Sharpe proposed the name of Frank Hiscock for temporary chairman, but MT. Hiscock positively declined to serve and Senator Warner Miller was elected in hls stead, the vote standing 29S for Miller and ed to the platform and was intro duced by MT. Platt amid great applause. Chairman Miller then addressed the convsn- tion. Committees were appointed on perma- nent organization. credentials, platform, etc. recess was then taken till 7:3O this even ing.
 1t was not until s55 o'clock that the con- vention was called to order, the delay being caused by the failure of the committee on contested seats to report before that time. George Bliss read the report. Among the delegations unseated by @ vote of 12 to 4 were Roscoe Conkling and other sitting dele gates from the First Oneida district and seated from the same s. Lowery and fellow contestants. By unanimous vote the con- mittee allowed the George ". Curtiss delega- tion from Richmond county to retain their seats, and by unanimous vote decided against the admission of all Irregular delega- tions in New York city. The committee con cluded their report by 8 resolution that all questions of the reorganization of the party both in the city and other districts be re- ferred to the State committee with power to act in every case This after some discus sion was not acted upon, but made the special order for action after organiza- tion. The balance of the report was unani mously adopted. The sitting delegates who were unseated by the report were allowed to remain in the hall and take seats upon the stage, and their vacated seats in the body of the Academy were taken possession of by the admitted contestants. This done ex-Speaker Husted, of the committee on organization, reported that the committee had agreed upon Hon. Chauncey M. Depew as permanent chairman. This report was adopted unani- mously amid great applause. Senator Miller, the temporary chairman, appointed Speaker as escort to MT. Depew, and they accompa- nied him from his seat to the platform, where his presence again inspired loud ap- plause. MT. Depew thanked the convention for the distinction conferred upon him and in short speech outlined what he believed to be the future policy of the Republican party upon questions of national finance, honor, education and political economy. He dwelt upon the question of civil service re- form and said that recent events had forced this question upon the people. There was no longer further escape from it's practical consideration and proper settlement. The American people would no longer tolerate such an infamous political system as that which made possible the assassination of such g President as Garfield was and meant to be, and the common people, from among whom Garfield sprang, had by his death, for the first time in the history of the republic, had put upon the fullest light the course which had pro- duced nearly all if not absolutely all the evils it's century of existence. The people. the common people who furnished Garfield to the republic, knew now where the cancer was in the body polite, and they would insist on it's complete removal MT. Depew then paid glowing tribute to the virtue, ability and patriotism of President Arthur, and hoped that every Republican in the country would extend him the same individual support which they gave him when they voted for him on the same electoral ticket with Garfield.
 After the conclusion of MT. Depew's speech Mr. Husted offered Q resolution that the Re- publican party of the State of New York fa- vor female suffrage; referred to the commit tee on resolutions. The following nomina- tions were made: General James B. Carey for Secretary of State for Comptroller, Senator Ira Davenport; for Attorney Gen. eral, Lester W. Russell, of St. Lawrence for State Treasurer, ex-Speaker James W. Husted; for Judge of Court of Appeals, Judge French, the present occupant; for State Engineer, Silas Seymour, of Saratoga.
