Col. Fellows continued: 81 have said
| heretofore what ] now repeat for myself,
and may speak to some of those who sit
around me and are members of the organ
| izatiOn to which l belong, that we inter
pose no faOtious opposition to what is the
manifest will of this convention. We
have our own views, and we would be
dishonest if we attempted to conceal
them. L need not say TO the Democracy
! of the State of New York what
| the Democracy of the Republic has
learned, that the County Democracy Of the
city of New York is an organization that
never bolts, and that always sustains the
candidate Of the party when that nomina-
tion is fairly expressed. The outcome OF
this convention in the way of candidates
will be the choice of the organization
whose delegates sit around me when we
come to the polls to vote" Col. Fellows
then named Abram S. Hewitt, and the
name was received with great applause
Col. Fellows closed his speech by stating
81 know that the presentation of this
name Is in vain"
