vention Happy Over Their Action.
NEW York, June 1.-The delegates from
the Syracuse convention returned here this
morning happy and jubilant over the re-
suit. Ex-Mayor Grace says: There can
be but one opinion among Democrats
that the action Of the convention was the
only proper course to take. Not only MIR.
Cleveland's prospects were involved, but u
principle. Our action was us much pro-
test against men rs against methods. The
convention met for purpose, and that
purpose was carried out, Notwithstanding
statements to the contrary. IL never was
the intention to send delegation TO Chi
cago with its hands tied. There are no
bosses in this movement, no creatures OF
the machine. The gentlemen who have
been selected to represent our movement
are men of ability and discretion, and
feel assured that our interests are secure in
their hands. They will act MS unit il
whatever action they take, and, whatever
the outcome. we will support the nominee
OF the convention. We are Democrats.
The leaders consider that they made a
very shrewd move in indorsing the regular
nominees for Presidential electors. No
body can accuse us of being kiciers and
boilers now" said one.
Were MOI boilers in any sense" he
continued. "'rhey didn't give us a chance
to bolt the February convention, and we
didn't bolt its nominations"
II was ex-Secretary of the Treasury Fair
child who suggested tho idea of indorsing
the February convention nominees for
Presidential electors.
Ex-Railroad Commissioner John D,
Herman of Utica. who was chairman Of
the convention, said:
1--WE are not boilers. Did we not in
dorse the regular Democratic nominees
for Presidential electors? don't think il
was inconsistent to recognize the regularity
of the nominations while maintaining that
they were made by snap convention.
We do not dispute the regularity OF the
proceedings Of the February convention,
but we protest because we were deprived
