County Democracy reduced the Conven-
ton yesterday to rather tame affair.
There was nothing like struggle. In
the esrlier proceedings the only contest
OF consequences took place when the
fyrceh and Raines delegations from the
Seeond District Of Monroe came up.
MI. Purceil's action In the Conventions
forced the issue squarely. The
compromise effected by the State
Committee; giving both contestine
delegations seats in the Convention, with
nall 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-
ton until the question of our regularity
y passed upon by the Committee on Con-
tested Seats and by the Convention.
Ihis was kind of small bombshell, and
let the State Committee without the
satisfaction of having their scheme tried.
Inthe preliminary proceedings the name
GOVERNOR CLEVELAND WAS NOR MEN.
TONED,
and consequently there was no chance
Tor 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 appiauded; but there
was nothing comparable to the enthu-
siasm manifested over the names of Sam.
uel j. Tilden, John Kelly, John C. Jacobs
and others. An attempt to get up a
boom for Flower was made, but it
proved failure. Some maladroit
person in the gallery, at most in
opportune time, cried out sThree
cheers for Flower" which was responded
to by feeble effort.
AFTERNOON PROCEEDINGS, i,El d
In the rol1-call 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 resoIu-
ton to this effect was unanimously
adopted.
AT SEVEN O'CLOCK
the Chair raped the convention to order,
and announced that as the Committee on
Contested Seats and Resolutions had not
been able to perfect their work, further
recess would be taken until 8:30ep.s M,
II there was no objection. None being
offered, thes recess was extended. At
9:O6 p. m. the convention came to order.
The Committee on Permanent Organize

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-
piause. 1t was concession to Tammany.
The report was adopted. Nelson j. Wa
terbury, of New York, announced that
the report of the Committee on Resoiu.
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-
candidate for the Presidency. He went
on tospolrt ont the necessity OF candi-
date whose name will be q guarantee Of
reform. He glanced at the platforms Of
1874, 1876 and 1850, 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
retafned In the present declaration OF
principles.
THE RESOLUTIONS
declare that the Democracy of New York
recognize hat no issue can be moresim.
portant than the election of q President
whose character aud 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, ! SIG and 8s2; and
that it heartily commends the admins
tration of Grover Cteveland. The plank
referring to Cleveland was received with
great enthusiasm, which was most pro-
nouncedAnsthe galleries. In. reading the
list of delegates to Chicago the names
