rncn of the committee on contested seats, re-
ported in favor Of recognizing the contest

regular delegation from the Second Albany
district The report was adopted as respects
the First district.
A motion was made by Wm B. Woodin,
of Auburn, that in order to have perfect
good feeling both delegations from the Sec
ond Albany district be almittsi, each men,
Der to have half vote Andrew S. Draper,
of Albany, one of the regular delegates from
that district, insisted that be would be sacri-
ficing justice to an unfounded sentiment; the
regular delegates were either elected Or they
were not, and if they were elected they we're
entitled to the full power of their votes Mr.
Eugene Burlingame, of Albany, one of the
contestants, moved the seating of the son-
testants. He made a vigorous speech, claim
ing that they were the true representatives
of the Republicans of the district, the other
faction representing a combination with
Democrats. He made several charges of bad
faith, but said that the contestants, if seated
with half vote, would disregard their
grievances and in the interests of hasmony
would take part in and abide by the action
of the convention.
committee, supported its report. In his re-
marks he said that in the delibera tions of
the committee room the principal evidence
against the Republicanism of certain dele
gates seemed to be that they had Irish names
He thought it high time that the fact of a
man being Irish should no longer be taken
as prima facie evidence that he was Dem

the chair He said:
''GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION: L
thank you for the honor conferred, and will
discharge to the best of my ability the du-
ties of the chair with impartiality and firm
ness. Your committee on resolutions Will
presently report a platform of principles,
which will be the political chart in the
pending canvass. In consideration of that
fact, and of the admirable address of your
distinguished temporary chairman, | feel it
beyond my part to voice, even indirectly,
the views which you yourselves SO soon will
be called upon to express Suffice 1t to say
that the great party which saved the Union
will insi It that the principles which guided
it in the hour of peril will be hereafter, as
heretofore, recognizsd as the KEY and cor
per-stone of the arch of national safety. Hon
est money, an honest ballot and an honest
count and protection to every form of
American industry will forever be the
cardinal doctrines of the Republicn party.
lApplause We stand now on hallowed
ground. On yonder mountain, in sight of
that historic battle hill, where the conti-
mental soldiers won the victory that made
the nation, died the great captain, who by
his powers and his still loved for al time
what the continental soldiers had gained.
The whole world wept at his bier, the whole
people of America Mingled their tears of
sympathy with those of his loving house
hold and poured into their bleeding hearts
the balm of consolation But though dead
he yet hveth. For his memory is enshrined
in the grateful hearts of his bereaved
ccuntrymen, soldier, statesman, patriot
sage, one Of the few names that were not
born to die. Under the shadow of that
grand name we meet here now to renew our
fidelity to principles for which he fought,
and to fight it out ourselves on that line
until the leaves fall in November. Zap
plause.l Gentlemen, again, thanking you
for your courtesy and regard await the
further pleasure of the convention"
