 BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. 27.-It was nearly one o'clock when the Democratic State con vention was called to order, Daniel Manning chairmen of the State committee, calling the body to order. John Kelly was cheered or his entrance, this being the only demonstra- tion made. Alfred o. Chapin, Speaker of the Assembly, was made temporary chairman and addressed the convention in speech in which he commended the administration of Govern or Cleveland and spoke of the excellent con dition of the State finances. He said: 'Nol should we turn aside to vilify or misrepresent that great body of electors from whose opin- selves. The party of Lincoln and of Sum ner, of Seward, of Chase and of Greeley, still holds within it's ranks it's full share of the and patriotism of the nation But for twenty years it has had at it's dis posal greater patronage than any of it's pre- decessors. The continued presence of this corrodipg and disrupting influence has wrought its complete wreck. Borne blindly along by moral impetus whose purpose was long ago ac- complished it has with headlong rapidity rushed through every stage of life that sep arates youth from advanced age It's lead ing criminals defy courts and revile the illus trious dead, it's highest officials do what they can to destroy those ideals of simplicity of life and fidelity to trusts which are our best inheritance from the past. The would-be framers of it's polity seemed to have reached the last stages of intellectual distraction.
 The speech was listened to with marked attention, and was only interrupted when the name of Gov. Cleveland was mentioned, then the delegates applaudsd, the Tammany and Irving Hall men, however, remaining silent At the conclusion of Mir. Chapln's speech the roll was called. When Columbia was reached and the name of Samuel J. Til den, jr., nephew of the ex-Governor, was read, great majority of the convention fairly arose, and cheers were repeated again and again, the Tammany men alone remaining quiet. When New York county was reached and John Kelly's name was read, then Tam many raised a cheer which was taken up by the crowds of Tammany men and the ex- citement which WAS produced soon eclpsed all enthusiasm that had preceded, and cheers and tigers were given for the Tammany chief until his followers were exhausted. MT. Kelly sat stolidly in a seat and evinced no apparent interest in the turbulence, except to once in a while cast sidelong glances toward the as if to show the leaders of the clique that he was satiSfied with the way they were whooptng up. The roll cal! as read and adopted by the State committee
 nf 79 New York delegates, Tammany A, Irving Hall 10, giving Tammany within of half the entire number of New York city dele gates. This concession is remarkable in view of the fact that both Tammany and Irving Hall refused to attend the reg ular primaries which were attended by the County Democracy only, whose delegates were therefore the only regular ones from New York city. There were three sets or 1Z delegates each upon the ground, and the question was either to compromise or throw out two sets of delegates. The above com promise was demanded by Kelly and was yielded Tammany after long hght car ried a motion that the committee on contest ed seats be made up of delegates whose seats are not contested thus shelving the County Democracy from that committee. An ad- was then had until evening.
 Although the convention adjourned until D. m it was not until after o'clock that the temporary chairman, s. A. Chapin, called 1t to order The convention had adjourned without having appoiEted single committee, devoting it's evening work to the task oi agreeing upon methods of forming the com mittee on permanent organization and thai on contested seats, ruling that both should be composed by the selection of one delegate from each Congressional district by the other delegates from each such dis trict, the delegates from all districts contested to be prohibited from having representatives on the committee or contested seats. When the convention wal called to order Mir. Herrick, from Albany County Democrat, was announced and reat the report of the committee on contested seats. which had been formed and perfornet it's work during the recess. The repor favored the admission as regular of the dele gation from the First Rensselaer, distrlc headed by Edward Murphy, jr.; admitting from the Second Oneida the delegation headed by Chairman Stephens; in the firs Onondaga the delegation headed by Chair man Maloney; in the Second Onondag the delegation headed by Chairman Ryan, and in the Third Onondaga district tn delegation headed by Chairman McMahon
 The report of the committee concluded witt the statement that the committee had decides
 to report to the convention in favor of rec
 ognizing the New York County Democrac.
 as the regular Democratic organization be
 cause all of it's delegates had been elected b
 regular party primaries, the Tammany an
 Irving delegations having been returned ir
 dependently of regular party process; bu
 the committee for the sake of harmony an
 the ending of factional disputes had conclud
 ad to recommend the recognition of tn
 tyenty-four delegates admitted by the Stat
 committee from the Tammany delegatio
 and the ten also admitted from the Irwin
 Hall delegation and confinlng the representa- tion of the County Democrats t
 inc thirty-eight admitted by the St
 committee. disAualifying thirty-four delegate
 vhoae seats had been awarded to Tammsn end Irving Hall. The report was received wit cheers. MT. Herrick then moved the adoE tion of the report. Senator Grady on be half of TammaRy called Tor the ayes and nay on this motion and the roll was called, tn Temmanv men making every effort to defea it's adoption for the purpose of securing th strikinp out of the portion relating to th recognition of the County Democracy as tn -acr-,1or orosnization of New York county The call for the ayes and nays was made g John Kelly's intimation, who objected to th immediate adoption of the report without de bate and was in the nature or can TOT d vision upon the question as to whether or nc tha nravious question should be put, viz whether or not the question of adoptio shonId he voted upon in the roll call Irwin Hail voted with Tammany. MT. Kelly chief intere.t in having the roll called wa arnara1tIv to ascertain his exact strength rith inc intention If found sufficient {
 secure an adjournment until tomorrow
 The roll call consum0d forty minutes and T,
 sulted in the adoption of the report by Q vot
 of 2sO to 93. Senator Grady at once move
 to reconsider the vote and 8 upported his nG
 tion by a vigorous speech Tn which he declal
 ed that Tanmany intended to thorough
 abide by all the rulings and decisions of th
 convention, but he appealed to the body t
 refuse to endorse that portion of the repor
 which recognized the County Democracy o
 New York as regular as against Tamman
 which contained the majority of the Demo
 crats in New York county and which com
 prised that portion of the party whose aggre
 gate vote was absolutely essential to success
 Mr. Cochrane, of New York. spoke for Irwin
 Hall much in the same tone as that used b
 Senator Grady in favor of reconsideratio
 and equal recognition of Irving Hall with tn
 County Democracy.
 E. Ellery Anderson, speaking for the Coun
 ty Democrats, opposed reconsideration, taE
 ing the ground that Tammany and Irwin
 Hall having failed through their own deter
 imitation to regularize themselves by attend
 ing the party primaries had no right either t
 ask to be now recognized as regulars or
 share recognition with the County Demoerac
 wbich had obeyed all the party rules and se
 cured it's delegates through the regular part
 primaries as Tammany could and should hay
 done.
