chairman, without opposition. He read

the chair in which he said, at will be our
first duty to adjust all questions affecting
the right to representation in this conven-
ton, and it is to be hoped that they will be
arranged so satisfactorily and thoroughly,
and so plainly that they will be regarded as
settled, not only for to-day, but for all the
future. This forecast of the action
of the convention was received, with
lively applause. After the selection
of temporary secretarys, the roll was call

ALBANY, n. Y, October H. 1880 a. H.
This morning the committee on credentialS
of the democratic convention decided to adj
nit only the New York county delegation
to the exclusion of Tammany and Irving
Hall delegates.
ALBANY, n. Y, October 1.-THE Tamma
ny delegations will leave for New York at
3 o'clock. The weather is cold and very
bleak The attendance in the gallery and
on the stage is much thinner than yester-
day or last night Printed circulars signed
by ex-committee Of the arrangements demo-
cratic club, of Brooklyn, were distributed
among the delegates addressed to the Kings
county deputation, and to mem
bers of the convention strongly
approving any compromise with Tammany
and arguing that their exclusion
will strengthen rather than weaken the
democratic cause.
The chairman called the convention to
order at 1925 and announced that the first
business would be the report of the com
mittee on contested seats Bcckham, from
the committee on credentials, reported the
contest which had been considered, and the
decision of the committee.
When the decision admitting
only the New York county democracy was
announced, there was some cheering,
though not very much. Peckham con-
Guided by moving the adoption of the re-
port and asked the previous question.
There was no opposition and the report
was unanimously carried. Halliday,
from the committee on permanent organiza-
ton, presented his committees report.
THE PERMANENT CHAIRMAN.
ALBANY, October 12.-The name of Eras-
tus Brooks, for permanent chairman, was re-
ceived with applause. The report was
adopted without dissent, and Mr..
Brooks, on being conducted to the chair,
addressed the convention at considerable
length. After expressing adherence at the
crime which had deprived the country of its
president, he said: III is impossible to for.
get at this first meeting of the democrats OF
this state in state convention since the de-
feat of our national standard-bearer that
his vote in November last was some thou
sands in excess of the vote of the inaugu-
rated president. Nor can II escape our
memories that in the canvass of 1876 dis
tingushed citizen of our own common
wealth was president, by q constitutional
election, both in theory and substance, and
by numerical ma ority in excess Of one
fourth ola million ofvotes. He SAID: 1t be-
comes the democratic voters of this state
neither TO forget the past nor TO forgive
an offense which practically disiranchlsed
two states of our union, and thousands OF
American Icitzens in order TO make man
president who received neither the constitu-
tional vote nor an honest election. The
present timeis propitious i'm this state, at
least, for restoring power and responsibility
to the democratic party. He de-
clared the democratic principles,
i'm brief to be honest elections,
honest men in office, honest money for the
people. with gold and silver as the only GER
tain standard of value, tariff for revenue
which, while il affords all the necessary
means for the liberal support of the govern. |
ment, paying all its debts and meeting all
its obligations, gives ample protection to |
every great interest in the countrywide ships |
upon the seas, by the restoration Of that |
American commerce lost TO us by the |
follies of our national legislature, and home |
rule for our cities, and as far as possible in |
our towns and counties. In the name OF
right Justice and liberty, we also demand |
the diminution Of tsat central power in the |
federal government which makes states
and people servants OF the federal patron /
age and power Reviewing the course of
the republican party. during the twenty |
wears IN which il had held power, he com
mented upon its extravaganza in public ex-
penditures, of the frauo and corruption /
which had marked its course on the star
route sWindle. They had cost the govern
rnent more than a million Of dol
lar in unnecessary taxation each year. He /
referred 70 the attempted reduction Of ap /
propriations BY the democratic senator's.
In one session they did succeed in the re-
duefion 0f appropriations Of forty millions
dollars. In this state when in power, dur
inc tie five years Of lis control, the demo
e-Stic legislature reduced the state debt
from fiftv-One millions % nine millions Of
doIia-ssnd state taxes from sixteen millions
