New York Democracy.

OfRACUSE, N. l., OepC. Il - H0
Tammany Hall men have just held a
meeting at which it was decided to
send a committee before the commits
tee on contested cases to ask for rep
resentat on in the convention, on the
basis of division of delegates among
the three wings of the party. The
committee appointed to present their
CT Sc consists of Edward Kearney, f.
B Spinola, Alderman Sauer, Sidney,
P. Nichols, Senators Grady and
Veanor, E c. Wood, III. j. Gumble-
ton, John G. Boyd and George L.
Ingraham. The Irving Hail delega,
ton took similar action and appoint
ed a committee of twelve including
ex-Judge, George Nc Curtis, G. W.
Brooks, ex-senator Luke COzens, W.
B. Cochrane.
The State convention was called
to order at 12:15 by Daniel Manning,
chairman of the State committee,
who presented the name OF Rufus
". Peckham for temporary chair
man, in behalf of the State commit
tee. The convention ratified the
choice OF the committee without
dissent. On being presented to the
convention Mr.. Peckham was greeted
with much applause, and on taking
the chair thanked the convention for
the honor conferred upon him. H.
said: What is said by me will not be
of much Importance. What Is done
by the convention will be of the
greatest import nee. Three years
ago the Republican party nominated
for Governor A. B. Cornell. The
Democratic party nominated Lucius
Robinson, doing what it thought
wisest and best for the party, but
owing to unfortunate divisions, cur
candidate was defeated. Cornell Is
said by many Republicans to have
conducted a wise administration, but
tue Republican party has set aside
Governor Cornell, and, at the dicta
ton of the Federal administration,
the government has nominated
Chas. j. Fulger. He has not been
nominated ON account of his person
al power, but because he is repre-
sentative of Federal power and
Federal patronage. Within one
year from the death of President
Garfield, we find that the Fedora
administration Is forcing candidate
upon the Republicans Of the
State. THIS is the DINO
cratic opportunity. We want
to nominate man here who VIII
draw, Ill addition to the Democratic
vote, the vote of the half breed, or
independent Republicans Of tbs
State. CApplause. Never has the
Republican party WELDED the civil
slrWce power more basely than since
G A Arthur became Pre- lent, by
the bullet Of an assassin. We ar
raign the Republican party for It's
subservieucy 10 the money power OF
the country, at the dIctatIOu OF J.y
Gould, that arch conspirator Of Wall
street. With surplus of millions
III the national treasury, We find that
the Republican party las refused to
do anything 10 relieve the taxe pays
ers of the country.
Daniel s. Lamont was made tenn r.
por .ry sec e,ary. The Credentials
OF the three cOntestlng delegations
from New York City, and a protest
from the Iamuany deIeganon, i'll
addition, We're Il ferred to the ere
dentlals committee, when appointed.
A resolution Was adopted that the
credentials committee should be
composed of one member from each
Congressional district, to be appoint
ed by the char.
The following resolution was
adopted:
Whereas, We recognize with re-
gret the existence of serious differ
ences among the Democracy of the
County Of New York, and whereas.
these differences relate merely to
party organization, and not to ques-
tions of principle; therefore, be
Hevlng that a common desire for the
triumph of Democratic principles in
the State and nation animales the
entire party in said county,
Resolved, That this convention
respectfully and earnestly appeals to
each and every one Of the
various Democratic orgariza>
hons from the city and
county OF New York claiming repre-
sentatlon here to appoint committees
to confer with each other with the
view to az cement upJn delegations
from the various assembled districts
OF SAID county to be presented
without contest.
Resolved, That the foregoing be
referred TO the committee on con-
tested delegations with instructions
to submit the same.
After the appointment of com
mlttees on credentials, permanent
organization and resolutions in ac-
cordance with the resolution fir !,
quoted, the convention took recess
until to morrow.
