 SARATOGA, Sept. 24.-The Casino was crowded again this morning by per sons anxious to witness the pro- ceedings of the Democratic State con vention, many ladies being in the throng. Hills workers had been hard at work through the night and this morning and none were more eager in his behalf than the lieutenants of John Kelly who were working hard among their followers in his behalf. As the delegates entered the hall they were each handed an "Address of the Merchants and Business Men of New York city," recit- ing that they believe Governor Hill has been faithful to the promise in his message to the legislature of 1885 to ''nake effort to give to the whole people the blessings of pure, economical and wisely administered govern ment conducted on business principles" :" They therefore urge his nomination. The address is signed by Eugene Kelly-& Co.,, Henry Hilton, A. J. Ditman, Hegeman & Co.,, E. H. Purdy & Co.,, Austin Nichols & Co.,, B. F. Van Valkenbergh, the Goodyear Rubber company, Stephen Moorehouse & Co. and about two hun dred others. A circular warning the Democracy against renominating Dennis O'Brien for the office of Attorney General was also generously distributed among the delegates. It alleges that he has shown himself to be an enemy of the busi- ness men of four principal cities who will, if he is again a candidate, organize to defeat him at the polls. The delegates number 3e4, about half as many as attended the Re publican convention. As the better known leaders of the party filed into the hall their appearance was greeted by applause from spectators who recognized them. Roger A. Pryor and F. B. Spinola came in arm in arm; General Sickles was dignife4 and soldierly in spite of his crutches; Nelson J. Waterbury, pale and stepping, was seen busily engaged in counseling with the younger members; Burke Cochrane, Commissioner Crocker and Comp troller Low sat together in the New York delegation, just in front of the chairman. At 12:30 p. m. Chairman John O'Brien, of the State committee, called the convention to order and nominated George Raines of Mon roe for temporary chairman. That gentle man was then chosen by exclamation and was at once escorted to the chair. His speech reviewed the course of the Democracy since the days of Tilden and expressed felicitation at their present victory, commendatlon Of the President for his way of meeting the land nunciation of the Republicans for Haunting the bloody shirt over Gene. ral Grants grave, and high praise of Governor Hills administration. The en- trance of Hubert O. Thompson caused the speaker to be interrupted in his address by 8 round of applause for the leader of the County Democracy. A reference to Tilden tion of Cleveland's policy. The loudest ap- plauss followed praise of Governor Hills ad- ministration. It was then voted to permit 8 representative of the Anti Monopoly league to take seat upon the platform and address the convention as well as George of the State trades assembly. The former made a brief speech and the latter urged the introduction of blanks in the plat form embodying the wishes of workingmer in regard to child labor, convict labor, houri of labor, State printing bureau, tenement house cigarmaking, etc. He intimated that the Republican platform of yesterday wal full of mere generalities. After a resolution giving veterans the preference in examina ton for offices had been read and referred Burke Cochrane offered strong resolutions against civil service laws (great applause) which are the same with those adopted b, | Tammany Hall at the last meeting; referred | After the announcement of committees, etc. | the convention adjourned until this evening The hall was densely crowded when tn | hour for the evening session arrived. Full, I one-half the spectators were ladies. Abran s. Hewitt, looking old-fashioned in an odd | shaped Derby pushed carelessly away bacl | on his head, was the first of the New Yorl ! delegates seen in his seat. General Sickle ! A1.@1- oo&, h center of the hall than he was able to secur this morning. Generals Pryor and Spinol ! again selected one another for companions There was an abundance of music, the regu ! lar band in the gallery and the County De ! mocracy's band sometimes entering into | rivalry in the utterance of sweet sounds, tn result being temporary dlscord. The dele gates were all in their seats when half 8 hour after the appointed time Temporar Chairman Raines called the convention to ol
 der The first remark of the chairman was II | quest that smoking be stopped. This brougt | out applause. The committee on conteste ! seats reported recommending that the coI
 testing and regular delegations be both ad | mitted with half vote for each, and ths
 the contesting delegation from Chatauqu
 be admitted as the rightfpl delegation. I'll | report was adopted. The committee on pc ! manent organization reported recommendir ! that the temporary chairman, Hon. Geore 1 Rainse, be made permanent chairman. Tn
 was agreed to with applause A list
 vice chairmen, one of each compression district, was also reported and agreed t. Chairman Raines thanked the convention f. their renewed favor and invoked their indd ! gence in his efforts to discharge the dutl | of the chair. The other permanent office
 being agreed upon Hon. D. Cady Herric from the committee on resolutions, state | that the committee had been unable to COT
 plete it's report and requested to be allow' ! further time until 10 o'clock to-morro ! morning. There were murmurs of disa , ! pointment from all over the house, but u request was granted without dissent. Sen l tor Ecclesine of New York then offered u , following:
 Resolved, That this convention proceed at u ! session to nominate a candidate for govern
 and candidate for lieutenant governor. A I plause.)
 MT. Herrick. of Albany, moved to stri | ont all after the word governor" Senat | Ecclesine opposed the matter and said: q l must have become manifest to the gentlem ] composing this convention that the sen l ments of the Democracy have so far centr | ized it that it is entirely safe to proceed | the nomination of the two most inporta Y officers of the ticket. It is somewhat u usual, know, to proceed to nominations U t til the platform IS adopted, but SIT, the d
 tinguished statesman who will in all prot
 bilitv receive the nomination of this conve
 tion for the head of the ticket (applause) W n be a platform in himself. And
 Shink we can safely proceed to no
 mate the man who is to al
 second him and who is to
 second in command. Ample discussi
 has been had in the press and among members of the convention since they ha
 been here and think we can safely nor
 nate the leading officers tonight so as to
 l able to complete the entire labors of the co yention tomorrow and go home at once il D the campaign that will result in Q grand (
 Democratic victory"
 Il MT. Herrick in reply said that whate'
 reasons might exist for nominating can
 date for governor tonight the same did I
 apply to the nomination for lieutenant g
 ernor about which there had been no su
 specialization of sentiment nor sufficient
 liberation among the delegates.
 MT. Griffith, of Jefferson, warned the e
 yention not to agree to MT. Ecclesine's re
 lution, It was an extraordinary propositi
 and the calm judgment of the convent
 ought to prevent this attempt to railroad
 ticket through without discussion of
 merits of candidates, not even the candid
 for the first place. He moved to adjou

 cries of no.)
