the national Democratic Campaign
Fired at SaratOga-The New York Dele
gates to Chicago Uninstructed, But Under
stood to Favor the Candidacy for the
Presidential Nomination Of Governor
Cleveland.
SARATOGA. N. Y, June 10.
The truce between Tammany and the
County Democracy reduced the Couven-
tion yesterday to rather tame affair.
There was nothing like struggle. In
the earlier proceedings the only contest
of consequence took place when the
Purcell and Raines delegations from the
Second District of Monroe came up.
Mr.. PurceIl's action in the Convention
forced the issue squarely. The
compromise effected by the State
Committee, giving both contesting
delegations seats in the Convention, with
half vote to each, was rejected by Mr..
Purcell. Speaking for himself and col
league he said: We decline to take any
part in the proceedings of this Conven-
tion until the question of our re gularity
is passed upon by the Committee on Con-
tested Seats and by the Convention.
This was kind of small bombshell, and
left the State Committee without the
satisfaction of having their scheme tried.
In the preliminary proceedings the name
of
GOVERNOR CLEVELAND WAS NOT MEN
TONED,
and consequently there was no chance
for a demonstration in his favor Indi-
rectly, indeed, the temporary Chairman
alluded to the wise and economic admin
istration he had rendered the State, and
the aIlusion was applaudcd; but there
NOTHING n T,ih hla n tho
siasm manifested over the names of Sam
uel j. Tilden, John Kelly, John G. Jacobs
and others. An attempt to get up u
boom for Flower was made, but it
proved a failure. Some maladroit
person in the gallery, at a most in
opportune time, cried out ''Three
cheers for Flower" which was responded
to by a feeble effort.
AFTERNOON PROCEEDINGS,
In the roll-cau when New York city
was reached, Colonel Fellows announced
that it had been agreed to equalize the
representation, giving the County De-
mOcracy and Tammany each thirty-one
votes and Irving Hall ten. The resolu-
tion to this effect was unanimously
adopted.
AT SEVEN O'CLOCK
the Chair raped the convention to order,
| and announced that as the Committee on
| CODIeSICQ beats ana heSOlublO0S DaQ not
| been able to perfect their work, a further
recess would be taken until $3.50 p. m,
! if there was no objection. None being
| offered, the recess was extended. At
! 9:06 p. m, the convention came to order
! The Committee on Permanent Organi2a-
tiOn reported continuing the temporary
! officers. The decision was received with
applause. The Committee on
! Credentials reported that in the
Second Monroe district the delegation
headed by VIM. Purcell was entitled to
seats. This was received with great ap-
| plause. 1t was a concession to Tammany.
| The report was adopted. Nelson J. Wa
terbury, of New York, announced that
the report of the Committee on Resolu-
tiOns was the result of unanimous action,
| and that in the National Convention not
one word of division would be
heard, except an expression of opin-
| ion as to who would be the best
| candidate for the Presidency He went
| on to point out the necessity OF a candi-
date whose name will be a guarantee of
| reform. He glanced at the platforms of
| 1874, 1876 and 1880, and said the resolu-
tions embodied therein were applicable
to the situation of to-day, that on the
latter platform the Governor of this
State was elected, an event which
| brought forth excellent results, and that
the chief points of these platforms were
retained in the present declaration of
| principles.
THE RESOLUTIONS
declare that the Democracy of New York
| recognize that no issue can be more i'm
| portant than the election of a President
whose character and public reputation
shall give assurance of an honest, impair
| tial and efficient administration of the
laws; that concerning State Government
this Convention adopts the resolutions of
the Conventions In 1874, 1876 and 1872 and
that it heartily commends the admins
tration of Grover Cleveland" The plank
referring to Cleveland was received with
great enthusiasm, which was most pro-
nounced in the galleries. In reading the
list of delegates to Chicago the names
Hubert o. Thompson, John G. Jacobs,
Lester b. Faulkner, and Edward Muir
ply, Jr., were received with applause,
but the one which drew forth tempest
of applause was that of
JOHN KELLY.
His name was received with far greater
favor than any other, Cleveland not ex-
cepted.
Judge Andrews, of the Court of Ap-
peals, was renominated amid great
enthusiasm. The following are Congress
