New York Demoeratlcs state Convention.

BUFFALO, September 27.-The Dem
ocrauc State Convention opened under
favorable auspices. The weather is cool
and clear. There are no decorations in
the hall, excepting few wreaths of smilax
The delegates took their seats i'll very or
derly manner, each one being numbered
with ticket to correspond As Kelly en-
tered the hall he was cheered by Tam
many and the Irving Hall delegation in
the gallery. The delegates arrived in
body, no preference being shown to any
distinct body on admittance.
1t was IL noticeable fact that John Kelly
was the only delegate cheered on entering
the hall.
Daniel Manning, chairman OF the State
Committee, called the convention to order,
and presented the name of Alfred G..
Chaplin, OF Kings, as temporary chairman.
In accepting, Chaplin, in very nervous
manner, addressed the convention, ex-
pressing thanks for the honor conferred.
Ills remarks were mainly devoted to State
affairs He spoke in the highest terms OF
the administration OF Gov. Cleveland.
| The speech was listened to with attention,
and only interrupted when the name OF
Gov. Cleveland was mentioned, when the
delegates applauded. The Tammany and
Irving Hall men, however, remain solid.
In the roll-call, when the name of Samuel
J. Tilden, j., was reached, the convention
greeted it with long-continued applause.
Francis Lynde, Il Steuben county dele
gate, presented Il protest on behalf of thir-
ty-four of the County Democracy delegates
against the admission of Tammany. The
representatives protest was referred to the
| Committee on Contested Seats, when ap-
pointed.
Senator Grady arose, when his name was
| called, and gave notice that the Tammany
delegates, whose names were excluded
from the roll, would present Il protest
against the admission OF the County De-
| mocracy delegates
Ex-Justice Callahan, an Irving Hall del
egate, said he desired to present protest
against the admission of Francis Lyndc
and tlnrty-seven others and Thomas +.
/ Grady and twenty-four others as delegates.
| This was also referred.
! When the name of John Kellywas called
| the convention applauded loudly and long,
and in response to call the delegates
cheered with will for Kelly. The County
Democracy representatives, remained ST.
| lent.
Business proceeded slowly, owing to the
presentation of resolutions and discussion
OF the rules, the New York delegates
mainly sneaking. 1t was finally decided
| that the New York county delegations
should be represented as follows: County
| Democracy, thirty-eight; Tammany Hall,
twenty-four; Irving Hall, ten. Thomas G.
| Benedict, of Ulster county, was made per
Manent chairman.
The Committee on Platform made its
! report, which was adopted.
/ The following nominations were made
/ Comptroller, Alfred Chaplin; State Treas
urer, Robert A, Maxwell; Attoney-Gen
eral, Dennis O'Brien.

THE Colored Convention has adjourned
sine die. For this a willing country is
grateful. So much of its platform as was
published in the APPEAL yesterday our
readers have found to be as full of untruths
as to the condition and treatment OF the
negroes Of the South as it could well be
packed with, leading to the suspicion that
50 far from being in opposition to the Re
publican party, the convention was a pre-
liminary feeler for the National Conyen
tion Of that party, and by its wholesale
and malicious drnunciation OF the South
it was making last dying effort at the
revival of the bloody shirt. Failing in
that it has failed utterly.

CERTAINLY WOUNDED.


Ldter.-The Daily Chronicle has issued a
postscript stating that there is great ex-
element in Dublin, owing to the rumor
that Orangemen shot Parnell. There ap-
pears TO be some truth in the report. At
any rate, it is certain that Parnell is
wounded. 1t is stated that the bullet
went through his body. Another account
says the affair was accidental. No further
details have been received
A dispatch from Dungannon county
Tyrone, states that covered car contain
ing it is supposed, Parnellites, was fired
into, but the occupants were not hurt.
This probably explains the rumor that
Parnell has been shot.

A Reastly Crime.

NEw HAVEN, CoNN., September 25.-
Margaret Conyen, fourteen-year-oldg girl,
was found intoxicated in a lot on Hill
street late Saturday afternoon. She was
unable TO move limb, and did not recover
her senses for many hours. 1t appears
that she went to the saloon of Philip Fran
cescangeli to purchase pint of beer for a
woman resident near by, and that before
giving her the beer Francescangeli poured
out some whisky in glass and asked her
| to take drink. She drank, and then he
| induced her to drink second and third
glass, when, she alleges, he assaulted her.
| When she tried to go home she fell in the
| grass and remembered nothing more until
She woke up in the police lookup. The
| saloon-keeper was arrested.

WE learn from the Baltimore Sinl that
representatives from five Of the Methodist
Churches Of this country met in that city
on Tuesday last for the purpose of arrsng'
ing for the convening of a centennial con
ference TO make arrangements for the
celebration OF the organization OF that
religious movement Of the last CEN
fury which resulted IN the establish
ment Of the Methodist Episcopal Church
in 1884. and at subsequent periods
of the other churches; and that as uni
Verssl Methodism dates its beginning i'll
1879, those on this continent agree in
tracing the dcnominational history of all
the Methodist societies to the Christmas
conference Of 1884, it is proper that the
centenary OF this event, which took
place in Baltimore, should be celebrated
there. There was great uuanimity pi
sentiment as to having the celebration in
Baltimore, and It was remarked that .
