NEW YORK DEMOCRACY.

The democrats of New York held stat,
convention at Albany on Tuesday and Wed
uesday of this week The reason why it tool
two days to transact business which was usu
ally disposed of in one day, WAS the necessity
to settle, once for all, the question whether the
representation of the party in Its convention,
from New York city should hereafter be con
troled by the democratic voters of the city and
county of New York, or, as heretofore, by
Tammany or Irving Hall,-both the "lIalls"
having appeared with delegations, though a
full delegation for the city and county of New
commentator of the state committee by the
democratic voters in representative districts,
as had been done in the rest of the state
The committee on credentials having been
appointed on Tuesday soon after the meeting
Of the convention at 9 O'Clock, asked, IN view
of the importance of the business in their
hands, until next morning to report and the
request was acceded to.
John Kelly of course appeared before the
committee in behalf of his Tammany delega
ton, and the Irving Hall leaders presented
their case. After hearing arguments until
o'clock in the morning, the committee decided
unanimously against admitting the delegates
of either Hall, and to admit the delegates ap-
pointed by the representative districts. The
decision, on being reported to the convention
next morning, was unanimously approved
amid the livellest demonstrations of applause
The decision is of course regarded as one of
the utmost importance, Riding, 1t is hoped,
the democracy of New York forever hereafter
of the pestiferous hall nuisance, through which
heretofore the party was so often placed at the
mercy of INSCRIPTIONS adventures and
thieves like bosses Tweed and Kelly.
The question of contested delegations being
thus happily settled, Erastus Brooks was elect
ed permanent president, and made the custom
airy eloquent speech" on taking the chair.
The following ticket was then nominated:
For Secretary of State-Wllliam Purcell
For Controller-George ii. Lapham.
For Attorney General-Roswell A. Par
menter.
For Treasurcr-Robert A. Maxwell
For Judge Of the Court of Appeas-Ex-
Atty. Ger. Schoonmaker.
The platform adopted is relteration of the
platform adopted IN 1874, 1876 and 1880, with
the addition of a resolution deploring the as
sassination of President Garfield, and resolu-
tons in favor of free canals, against mOnopo.
lies, and denouncing the subservlency of the
last republican Legislature of New York to the
bidding of corporations &c.
While the Irving Hall democracy express
their purpose to give the ticket nominated
their hearty support, notwithstanding their
exclusion from the convention John Kelly |
and the Tammanyitcs promise not to oppose
the state ticket, but say they will spare no
effort to defeat the local nominees of the coun.

A very dlscreditable story leaks out in re-
gard to the police officers who captured the
Arkansas tram robbers. They found upon the
robber some $4,000, and this three of the four
captors concluded to DIVIDED among them
selves, besides the large reward of some S25,.
900 offered for the thieves; and in order to
prevent the latter from "peaching" on them
the captors agree that no efforts should be
spared to save the robbers from going to the
penitentiary The fourth man of the captors,
who favored the return of the money to the
express company and passengers, after two at
tempts at his assassination, revealed the facts
to the authorities, who, in consequence, have
locked up both the robbers and three of their

INDIANS,

There is little news beyond indefinite and
unlntelligible rumors in regard to Indian hos.
tillties in Arizona. There Is no doubt that a
number of bucks are missing from th eagen
ces-40 from Thomas and Cos from San Car,
los, and there is no other explanation of their
absence except that they have Joined the hos
tiles The understanding is that all are gath
ering in the southern end of ChirIcahua, on
the Mexican border, to be ready to cross If
pressed too closely by the troops. There are
three columns IN the field against the hostiles,
Demands troop is west of the Chricahua
range, Wagner's to the east, and Mcclellan
moving southwest, the objective point of meet
ing being at the Mexican line, which they will
all cross if the Mexican authorities permit, and
cooperate with their troops. The line IS up
to Fort Thomas, and everything is reported
quiet at the reservation.
The report brought to Santa Fe on the 9th
by passengers via the Southern Pacific rail
road, that on Thursday night 6th) when the
train was passing Wilcox, Arizona, "a fight
was in progress between the citizens and lndi-
ans; that the Indians seemed to have made the
attack and the whites were IN great confusion
&c, &C.. has been confirmed by no subsequent
dispatches from that quarter. A few train
men beyond Wilcox had been murdered by
the Indians and it is probable the firing heard
was upon these.

Too MANY VENNoR's-We have before US,
in our exchanges, three different weather prog,
nostications for October-all by "Nennor."
One says "October to 5th warm, followed by
cold, heavy rains to OH; warmer weather 10th
to 18TH" &c. Another says: October will en-.
ter cold and wet; heavy rains during first of
the week, with probable snowfals in many
sections between the 18th and 10th. Cold and
wintry weather on the 14th, 10th and 18th.
Warmer 18th, 10Th and Goth, &c And the
third reads: "a general storm period of sever.
ity is probable about the 10Th and 10th IN the
southern and western sections of the United
States, and also in the Upper Lake regions and
maritime provinces in Canada. Cold weather
in Newfoundland" or course all these con-
Trajectory representations are not by the same
man, for everybody knows the real Vennor is
always truthful. But somehow people seem
to have gotten the idea that the name means
something else, and whenever any one pro-
ceeds to make a lot of absurd and improbable
predictions about the weather, he thinks he
can make them harmless and himself all right
with the public by calling himself "Vennor."
