divided as follows: The county democracy
| to have thirty-eight members, Tammany
| tweuty-iour and Irving hall ten. He

ordered and the committees report was
unanimously adopted amid most voCifer-
Gus applause. Harvick said that he was d.
rected by the state committee to oller re-
solution recommending that in future a
| primary election should be held by elective
districts for the election of delegates to the
convention in the city of New York, under
the auspices and direction of the state com
mittoe until such time as the various lac
| tions in that city may agree as to the prop.
er mode of eecting their delegates, and
| the resolution was unanimously adopted
and the report of the committee on perma-
nent organization was presented to the
| Syracuse convention.

manent chairman with thirty-three vie
presidents and secretaries. General Roger
A. Pryor, chairman of the committee on
resolutions, presented the platform and
moved its unanimous adoption, and John
Kelly said plank should be inserted con-
demning the distribution Of public lands TO
private corporations and moved that the
platform be referred back to the committee
for the insertion of the plank which shall
condemn tine enormous grants o. those
lands to corporations. Agreed to, and the
resolutions were referred back TO the COM
