"Ohl" 'tOh!'0 The chair decided the point ot order not well taken. Burke Cochrane, of New York, demanded a call of the roll on the motion to adjourn. (Great applause.) The demand for call of the roll was second ed by number of delegates and was pro- ceeded with, the name of each delegate being called in it's alphabetical order. The votes to adjourn vera few until the names of the County Democrats were reached. They all voted to adjourn. When A. s. Hewitt voted
 faye" there was storm of applause lasting minute followed by three rousing cheers for Hewitt. After the call had been com pleted Anthony Barrett, of Kings, request ed that the votes of such Kings delegates as voted 'tuo" be changed to "aye," making the delegation unanimous. This added twenty-four votes for adjournment The total number of votes were ESQ., for adjournment 14S15, against
 adjournment 23112. The announcement was
 the signal for uproarious applause both from the delegates and outsiders. MT. Griffith
 was quickly on his feet again with demand
 that the roll be called on MT. Herrick's
 amendment striking out of Ecclesine's reso-
 lutisn the reference to lieutenant governor
 MT. Ecclesine announced that he accepted
 Herrick's amendment (applause). MT. Grif-
 filth quickly moved to amend Mir. Eccle-
 sines motion so as to read that the conven-
 tien proceed to nominate 8 candidate for
 governor and that ballot thereon be post
  great howl of dissent at once went up, cries of "no, no"
 being mingled with catcalls and hisses. MT. Griffith very pale and much in earnest waited till he could be heard and said: 'tI believe this convention has now reached crisis where it should pause. A party will not question their motives, are about to force l this convention at this unseemly hour" This unfortunate phrase caused an outburst of derisive laughter and effeetually spoiled Mr. Grifith's effort. He was unable to secure | the attention of the house again before del l egate moved to take recess.
 The cries of dissent from this proposition ceased only when Colonel Fellows was ob- served to be seeking recognition of the chair. Cries of "platform" were then raised, but
 Colonel, Fellows declared that he had | only few words to say and
 He urged the convention to re- | member that there was no pressing i necessity for haste in it's proceedings. It the I assertion was true that sentiment had crys- \ tallized around one gentleman for governor | that sentiment was doubtless strong enough to last until morning. That much delay would allow time for the composing of differ 1 ences which existed among certain of the delegates in regard to part of the ticket To I refuse the delay might, he warned them, re- | suit in making the diseontent more active ! and the dissensions permanent. For the sake of securing internal peace in the party he urged the adjournment. Senator Eccle-

Colonel Fellows should ask delay when that l gentleman had admitted that he did not op- pose the nomination for governor tonight, | which was the only question before the con | vention.

 vote on the motion to adjourn.
 MT. Ecclesine moved to lay MT. Le- | mont's motion the table. wrangle 1 ensued on points of order and MT. Lemont's
 motion was finally decided not to have been
 permissible MT. Spinola then moved the previous question. There was demand | for the ayes and noes on this motion and the l tedious roll call was again gone through, re- | sulting yeas 240, nays 139. The main ques- | tion being on MT. Ecclesine's resolution to l proceed to nominate candidate for governor ] the demand for ayes and nays was again made and the roll call began. It was inter l rupted this time by several impatient dele l gates, some moving to adjourn, others to sus- 1 pend the call and proceed to a ballot. The l chair ruled everything out of order except | the finishing of the call. A sleepy delegate il l the back of the hall caused much amusement by answering ''David B. HilP' when his name was called The vote resulted: Yeas 270 1-2, nays 1O91-2 Nominations are in order, J | announced Chairman Raines and there was l an outburst of applause. The chairman at l once recognized J. J. OConnor, who halls from Chemung, the home of Governor Hill The cheers were renewed. As Mir. O'Connol took the floor and when after few prelimi I 1a had fho nf date
 David B. Hill, there was 8 great uproar o1 applause. Half the delegates mounted thei1 | chairs and waved hats or canes while they
 shouted and cheered. The spectators added
 their voices to the general acclaim. Three
 cheers for Hill were called for and given l with will and then MT. OConnor concluded | his remarks. His speech was very short and
 was a concise summary of the sterling and popular qualities of his candidate.
 Daniel Lockwood of Buffalo, who was an al
 ternate, next took the floor and announced
 that Erie county instructed him to second
 very briefly of Mr. Hills record as one richl,
 deserving recognition and reward.
 | A delegate here moved to nominate Hill b.
 exclamation, but Senator Ecclesine was rec
 ognized and said a few word
 in supporting the nomination tha
 had been made. MT. Downs, o
 Broome, also seconded Hill and predicte'
 that he would fall upon the party like
 mountain upon election day. MT. Griffith l who made the struggle for an adjournment
 now fell into line and said that Jeferso
 county recognized the wish of the party an,
 cheerfully seconded the nomination of Hill l Colonel Fellows then took the floor.
 was applauded, but as the plaudits ceased b
 calmly remarked: ''I beg leave to assur l the delegates that their cheering is prems ture and that I am much more likely to re ceive misses than concentrations before take my seat'' The hall at once becam more quiet and everybody waited with 1T } Democracy. Colonel Fellows continued q have said heretofore what ! may speak for some of thos !. around me, members of the organization { which belong, that we interpose no faction 1 opposition to what is the manifest will a I this convention. We have our own view 8 and we would be dishonest if we attempte l. | to conceal them. I need not say to the b mocracy of the State of New York what tl ! Democracy of the republic has learned, th the County Democracy of the city of Ne . York is an organization that never bolt | thai always sustains the candidate of u d party when that nomination is fairly e l. pressed. The outcome of this convention : the way of candidates will be u t choice of the organization whose del a gates sit around me when " o come to Uno pollS to NoGe. D 2 in voting for selection in this convention V g must for the time being express disse e from that which is the manifest will, I co is cede, of the convention. I shall name # you, Mr. Chairman, on behalf of perhaps n Il ali of this delegation, but some I know, ). gentleman whose reputation is so es.ablish' ,r in and beyond the limits of the State as make eulogy superfous and render the pow .s of speech vain. I name Abram s. Hewi IS 1 (great applause).
 <, Anthony Barrett in behalf of Kings cou o ty seconded the nomination of Hill. Bur l5 Cochrane then, in behalf of Tammany Ha a seconded the nomination of Hill. Thr cheers for Hill followed and the ballot W then taken. When the County Democra le was reached Nicholas Mullen, jr., who a- name was first called, arose and voted ve ie emphatically for Abram s.
