Further Proceedings.
ALBANY, October 12th-The Convention
was called to order at 1925, and the Commit
tee on Contested Seats reported. When the
decision in favor of the New York county
democracy was announced there was some
cheering. The report was unanimously car
ried.
Hon. Erastus Brooks was unanimously
chosen permanent Chairman, and addressed
the Convention,
AT the conclusion of the address the Secre.
tary read the resolutions The platform
adopted reafirms fidelity to Democratic p.in-
clpies. as set forth by the National Conven-
tions, and denounces the fraud of 1876,
whereby the people were defrauded of the
fruits OF their victory. 1t declares that
reform is still necessary that the continuing
disclosures of new plundering of the peoples
funds by inner rings in the Treasury, Post
office and Interior Departments, demonstrate
that reform is more than ever necessity,
and demand a thorough investigation of
these frauds. The assassination of the late
President is deplored in all its public and
private aspects, and heartfelt sympathy for
his family is expressed. The platform favors
hard money, denources Republican support
of the Reputation parties IL Virginia, Min
nesota, Mississippi and other States. The
Republican Legislature of New York is also
denounced for its corruption and dishonesty.
The resolution was adopted without dissent,
and the nominations were proceeded with.
The Election in Iowa.
DEs MONIES. October 12th.-The city of
Des Moines complete gives Sherman 1854,
Kline 902 Clark 206 Sherman over Kinns
and the Democrats, 1,052; over all, SAG. In
Poll, county the Republican najority is about
1,600. and the whole Republican county
ticket is elected. Up to this hour the Re-
publican State Committee and the State Reg
lister have reports from portion of 80 coun-
ties, some of the counties nearly full. These
returns give Sherman tRsp.) for Governor
5,S79 majority over KiRne (Den.). AT
the last election the same counties gEve
Garfield 65S majority. The same relative
vote over the State will give Sherman ma
joIity of between 90, 000 and 55 600 over the
Democrats, and a majority Of 80, 900 over all.
The reports indicate a majority OF ninety in
the Legislature. The Senate will be more
strongly Republican than in 1879. as there is
q gain Of one in Dubuque and one in Lee
and probably one in Keokuk. There have
been fewer Republican losses ON account Of the
prohibitory amendment than were expected,
and some OF the Prohibition losses are on the
Republican side. In Cass county the run
was pretty close. Other causes than that the
tickets were badly scratched in the city and
county make the returns late, and it is ina.
possible 60 give the figures now; but enough
is known to assure the election of II. W.
Rathert as representative TO the State SEN
ate, John n. Irwin representative to the
House, and the election Of nearly the entiTs
Republican county ticket Lee county
usually gives 300 to 500 Democratic majority.
The IOhio! Election.
CINCINNATI, October 12th.-The Republi-
cans claim that Foster is elected by 10000 to
Is, coo in the State, and claim majority in
the House CT Representatives. The Demo-
Gratis concede Fosters election, sDd say the
complexion of the State General Assembly
is doubtful, and will depend entirely on the
result in Hamilton county. Cincinnati for
many years has been noted for the amount
of scratching done on both tickets, but never
in the history of elections were tickets on
both sides scratched as much as they were
yesterday. The temperance vote in the State
disappointed the expectations Of its friends
and opponents by It's smallness. The local
ticket in Hamilton county is mixed. At IL
o'clock this forenoon the figures cannot be
given.

ruok, of California, who, having been indoIsed
by the Republican State Executive Commit
/ tee, is nev in Washington. II II be true, as
reported, that Aawley VIII never coosant to
vote for Gorham, the Republicans viii az
