1t was 4:50P. N. when the convention
was again called to order. The Chair an
nounced that the first business in order
was tie report Of the Committee on Con-
tested Seats. General Sharp, Chairman
Of the committee, reported in favor Of
recognizing the contestants iu the first
Albany district and the regular delegation
from the second Albany district. The re-
port was adopted as respects the first dis
trict.
A motion was made by W. B. Woodin,
OF Auburn, that in order to have perfect
good feeling both delegations from the
second Albany district be admitted, each
member to have half a vote. This motion
called out sharp debate, in which it was
charged that the regular delegation repre-
sented combination with Democrats, to
which it was replied that the time had
passed when man must be set down as a
Democrat because he bore an Irish name.
The report Of the committee was then

(Applause We stand to-day on hallowed
ground. On yoader mountain, in sight
OF that historic battle hill where the Con.
.tinental soldiers won the victory that
made the Nation, died the great captain
who by his great proves aud his sXill
saved for all time what the Continental
soldiers had gained. Under the shadow
OF that great name we meet here to-day,
to renew our fidelity to principles for
which he fought, and TO fight it out our
selves on that line until the leaves fall in
November" (Applause.)
NOMINATION. OF CANDIDATES.
At the conclusion OF Mr.. Husted's
speech, motion was adopted that the
convention proceed with the nomination
OF candidates for Governor. After a brief
discussion, during which an unsuccessful
attempt was made to adopt motion for
an informal ballot, Mr.. Charles D. Baker,
Of steuben county, placed in nomination
the name Of Ira Davenport, Of Steuben
county. Mr.. L. L. Vanallen, OF New York
CITY, followed with tribute 10 Hon. Levi
P. Morton, whose name he placed in
nomination. James Addison, OF Rens-
sslser County, nominated Hon, Joseph B.
Carr, and at the mention OF the name OF
the candidate the convention was thrown
into uproarous applause, repeated again
and again. Mr.. Robert Sewell, OF New
York, seconded General Cars nomina.
ton. At the close oil Mr.. Sewell's brief
but earnest eulogiun, there was more ap.
plause. Mr.. Edward Hatch, OF Erie, next
occupied the platform in the interest OF
Hon. James D. Warren. AT the mention
Of this veterans name there was good
deal Of applause, but the demonstration
was not equal in volume to that accorded
to the preceding nominee.
Other men were nominated, and the
first ballot was taken with the following
result: Davenport los, Seward 81, War
rem 1877, Cornell 4, Charles Andrews !,
Carr POS, Swinburne 80, Drexel 81, Evarts
!, Martin 42, Low I6, Bliss So, Starin l.
Whole number OF vuEes cast 69l; neCes-
sary to choice 947.
The State Temperance Assembly has
submitted q series Of resolutions for incor.
poration in the platform. The first recog-
nizes the value Of non-partisan govern
ment and recommends the endorsement
OF nominations OF that character.
1g i,
men be nominated ''as lcti Ct good citl-
zenship In its best sense" The third Is
as follows:
Resolved, That as much Of the crime ex.
listing in the State is due to the lax and in
efficient execution OF the excise laws, We
require for public interest that these shall
be faithfully enforced aud shall hold every
public officer to strict party responsibility
for their enforcement.
The fourth recites the evils OF intem-
perance, and demands q legislative in
ouiry OF the most painstaking character,
together with such amendments Of the
excise laws as shall be considered most
practical 10 check intemperanCe.
The fiith Is as follows:
RSsolrsd, That the Republican party
pledges It's faith to submit 10 the people
by q legislative vote the question Of
prohibition by constitutional amend
ment, and 1t will hold every
citizen who accepts the nomination or
support Of the party as pledging himself,
II elected, TO vote for the submission OF
the same. The Committee on Resolutions
went into session at u o'clock.
The latest phase Of the situation seems
to be that the New York delegates have
been unable in, spite Of repeated efforts to
agree upon candidate from New York or
Kings county. 1t Is said that Mr.. Eyarts
with the Union League at his back has
been working hard for Bliss, but that u IS
Of no avail. The committee on resolu'
tions will not complete It's work until to-
morrow morning.
