To the Committee of Fifty:
l reporG that, in pursuance Of the
instructions given to us by the mass
meeting held in Cooper Union, the
1lth OF this month, the members of the
State Committee individually and the State
committee as whole have been requested to
dissolve the convention called by them for
this day, and that they have declined to
comply with that request. In that event
you were instructed to take such measures
MS you might deem well to secure a proper
representation of the Democracy OF this
State at the Democratic National Conven-
tion to be held in the city of Chicago on the
2lst of June next You will now enter upon
the work Of considering and adopting such
measures.
Your Executive Committee has thought it
proper to invite friends and members o. the
Democratic party from parts of the State
other than New York to meet you here to-.
day and join with you in the great and
patriotic work that you are about to under
take. They are here in sufficient numbers

Democrats in the State whose hearts are
with you. [Cheers.l They will aid You with
their wise counsel, they will inspire you
with their high courage and their grim de.
termination born of remembered outrages
upon the Democrats of your State, whereby
fair and free representation of their
wishes, both as to principles and candi-
dates has been denied to them. [Cheers.l

Your work of to-day will, l believe, be
such that you will meet again between
March or June, with countless thousands of
your fellow Democrats, all inspired with
high purpose and high hopes for our beloved
party, and then, when we meet again, our
trouble will be to find a hall SO large that it
CAR hold the hosts OF Democrats who will
come to wish us godspeed. May blessing
rest upon your work. May the result be 4
Democracy of principle owned by no man
q party ofhonor and truth and freedom.
Mr.. Fairchild then presented the name
of F. d. Locke, of Buffalo, as Chairman,
who said in part:
There are times in the history of parties
as la the history of States, when men assert
