New York Herald June 9th
A special meeting of the County
Committee of the County Democracy
was held last night at the headquar-
ters, No. l Union Square. There
was very large attendance of the
members, AIr. John E. Devlin pre-,
sided.
On the motion of Mr. Hubert O.
Thompson several Assembly districts
were called for the purpose of ascer>
tanning from the respective ohairmen,
or any representative who might be
present, the number of the members
who were going to the National Con-
vention, at Chicago, from each dis,
trict, When tho Eighteenth (Mr.
Thompson's districD was announced
amid considerable cheering--he
said that bis district would send 100
members.
At the conclusion of the call the
chairman said that the number of
members who had signifed their in
tention 10 be dresent at the Chicago
Convention was 524 The announce
ment was received with applause.
Mr., Thompson rose and said that
so large number of members hay.
i G thus signified their intention TO
be present at the Convention, he
moved now the adoption Of the fol-
lowing resolutions:
RESOLVED, That the representatives
in this committee from The various
Assembly Districts be requested to
organize Cleveland Club in each Of
their several districts.
RESOLVED, That said twenty four
Cleveland Clubs, when organized, be
urged to proceed in body to the
Democratic National Convention, to
be held in Chicago on Tuesday, the
Sth Of July.
The reading of the resolutions was
interrupted by cheering when the
name Of Governor Cleyoland WAS
mentioned,
Assistant District Attorney Fd-
ows, of seconding the motion for
the adoption n the resolutions, spoke
earnestly in their support, and il the
course OF his speech said
1t was well known that the County
| Democracy was in favor of the gen
tleman whose name had been men,
toned in the resolutions as the cam
didate for the Presidency. Under
those circumstances he thought that
the country should know by sound
that vas not uncertain that the De-
mocracy of the State of New York
vas also of that opinion. II was not
unlikely that in the coming ConYen-
ton New York would no longer oc-
cupy the place it had so frequently
done of merely taking part in the
councils, but would determine by its
decided preference the selection of
the candidate The Presidential
contest was likely to assume the
character of a political revolution and
not an ordinary political contest. If
New York went into the Convention
with divided councils it would fail 10
meet the wants of the country and
this great State would retire into
comparative obscurity in these coun-
ellis of the nation. 1t was true that
the Convention would be governed
by the unit rule, and was very dc
sirable that the vote thus represent
ed Should be representation OF a
unanimous delegation. The dele
gates to the Chicago Convention
from this State were to the extent of
two-tEirds in favor Of the candidacy
of Governor Cleveland Three
cheers for Cleveland. y But not
even one-t third of that delegation
should remain opposed to him. II
the influence of bis name, that was
now sweeping over the States, was
felt here, the New York State dele
cation would be almost solid IL his
favor by July 8.
