Delegates to Chicago-Senator Hill In
-Dissenters Call Another Conven-
tion.
ALBANY,.N. Y, Feb 23.-The demo-
cratic convention was called to order
here at noon. The delegates turned
out late yesterday for two reasons.
They went to bed late in the first place
and in the second place there was no
fighting to be done.
The clerk called the roll of the dele
gates. When the name of Lieut.. Gov.
Sheehan was called there was sur
prising demonstration of applause, al
most equaling that accorded the
mention of Hills name. The commit
tees on credentials, permanent or
ganization, platform and delegates
were then selected, resolutions adopted
as to the manner of choosing delegates
to Chicago and presidential electors,
and recess taken until $3.50 p. m.
Bleecker hall was as crowded as at
the morning session when Chairman
Beebe called the afternoon session to
order at 4:2O o'clock
The report of the committee on con-
tested seats favored the seating of the
sitting delegates in the contested cases
in Albany and Chautauqua The Os-
wego contest was withdrawn. The re-
port was adopted.
The report of the committee on per-
manent organization was presented
and adopted Gen. Daniel E. Sickles
was made permanent chairman and
when he was introduced by Chairman
Beebe he was given an ovation.
James w. Ridgeway, of Kings coun-
ty, next handed up the report of the
committee on resolutions, which was
read by Secretary DeFreest.
When that passage instructing for
David b. Hill was read the air was
shaken by an outburst that made the
bunting quiver and the resolutions were
unanimously adopted Three cheers
broke forth again and subsided only
when Col John r. Fellows arose in his
place near the front of the Tammany
delegation and moved that a committee
be delegated to wait upon Senator Hill
and request him to appear before and
address the convention. Col. Fellows,
Mayor Manning, of ALBANY, and Mr..
Adams, of Kings, were delegated to act
under this motion, which was carried
with renewed cheers.
While this committee was on its way
Secretary of State Rice handed mp the
report of the committee to which was
intrusted The preparation of the list of
national delegates and alternates at
large and by districts Next was pre-
sented and read the list of state presi-
dental electors at large and by dis
tricts
Senator Hill was then introduced by
Gen. Sickles, who said: 81 present to
you, gentlemen of the convention, the
young hickory of the democracy, our
next presidential candidate, David B.
Hill"
The senator stepped forward and adj
dressed the convention.
The speech was intently listened to
and while not broken often by ap-
plause it was cheered loudly at its
close. The band played 'Three Cheers
for the Red, White and Blue"
The motion to adjourn came quickly,
then the convention at $50 p. N. adj
journed sine die
