s. D. LOCKE FOR CHAIRMAN.
Mr.. Fairchild then presented the name
of 3. d. Locke of Buffalo as chairman.
Charles ]. Canda and Wallace MacFarlane
were chosen secretaries The roll of those
present was then read by Secretary Mac
Farlaue, thirty-six counties being repre-
sented.
E. Ellery Anderson spoke and then an
address to the democrats Of the state was
read and adopted. 1t constitutes an ar
raignment of the methods OF the managers
OF the other wing of the party and pro-
vides for state convention in Syracuse,
May 81, the same to be constituted of dele
gates coming to it through primaries ard
assembly district conventions In the usual
manner. A provisional state committee is
also provided for.
George c. Smith, farmer from Chau-
tauQua, addressed the meeting in favor of
its purposes and proposed acrlon.
THE oRAToRICAL FEATURE OF THE DAY,
He was followed by strong, rugged
faced farmer from Erie county. His name
is Frank NJ. Tborne, and his speech was the
oraUcriqal feature of the convention. MIR.
Thorne in the course of his speech said:
ut is a true proverb that the blood
the church." "It is equally true
that the warm blood of an outraged
democracy is the seed of revolution. AS in
evitable as the needle TO the pole, the great
heart OF the democracy turns to the great
leader who fears nothing, deals honestly and
tells the truth. If the democracy Of the
nation. full of courage of noble convictions,
aud warned by the lesson of 1850 refuses to
be frightened into cowardly compromise
and bravely insists upon making square
and unequivocal choice between candi-
date who fitly represents Juggling caucus
and leader who fitly represents glorious
cause, 1t will emerge from the coming
struggle again recognized as the party Of
the future. a magnet for the young voters,
substance of things hoped for by all pa
triotic citizens-tried, true and triumphant
democracy"
Mr.. Clarke of Otsego, a young farmer,
bluntly demanded that the name OF ex-
President Cleveland should be placed
squarely at the front of the movement rep
resented by anti-early convention.
PoUCHER CALLS A HALT.
William A. Poucher at once followed and
expressed the view that this convention
should not seek to foFestall the action of the
state convention called by the address Of
in his estimation of Grover Cleveland,
but he submitted that this
meeting was an executive, and
primary meeting which should push its
purposes to the contamination of a free and
untrammeled expression Of the democratic
will in the state. Gentlemen said Mr..
Poucher, i've want no shufiiing uonenity.
We want no juggling politician as our req
resentative, and we have no need to hear
that your coming convention will choose a
wise candidate, who shall not be character
lied by such features"
The chairman then named the provisional
committee, which shall be the nucleus of
the state committee. It is made up as fol-
