to that solid ground Of high Justice and equity upon
which they stand day absolutely without dscord or

Since then other Democratic State Con-
ventions have met. and some have ex-
pressly favored Mr.. GROVER CLEvELAND's
discarded. and discard tho chosen. candi-
date Of the Democracy of New York.
1t was. therefore. thought not unbecom-
ing for the New York delegation to assert
its unqualified sympathy with. and its 10y
atty to. tho mandate Of the Democratic
voters. and tho instructions OF the Demo-
cratic Convention Of the State Of New York.
Moreover. the Mugwump and CLEVELAND
press for three months have daily been fib-

or politics. that tho New York delegation
would vote for Governor HILL just onco
and then for anybody else. even CLEvE-

by two successful elections.
Expediency as well as principle would
seem to condemn such nominations In a
case where single term has been professed
by tho candidate himself. second term

nomination withheld by the State.
Both to withhold third nomination. and

obligatory upon the Democracy OF New

custodians.
MIR. CLEVELAND had once as Governor and
twice as President received nomination and
faithful support Mt the hands OF the Democ-
