directed most of his remarks toward a eulopy of
the accommodations that could be afforded by
Kansas City. He assumed that this Convention
would go TO the West. applause If he were
in executive session, his friend Senator German
well knew, he thought he could give reason for
that opinion. New York did not need Tbis Con-
venton, and should not have it, New-YoIk was the
battle-ground Of the Convention to he called: and
for that reason if no other, New-York
should not be selected. New-Ycrk was too great,
financially, numerically and politically TO need the
air OF any convention. And besides that, New
York had Tammany, and Tammany was larger
than any convention applause and laugher)
Tammany had no division about a platform or
candidate. Laughtcr) There was no acrimoni-
Gus debate heard in those traditional halls He
said that with all kindness to Tammany for he was
an honorable member of that society. daughter
He did not belong to the ranks of those gentlemen
whose vevety conscience and silSen ears were torn
by the shouts OF the Tammany braves as they
scattered in flight the broken hopes of the Repub
lican party. Appause) The claws of Tammany's
tiger, crimsoned to-day as they were with radical
blood, had no terrors for any one except an enemy
OF true Democracy. tApplauseQ New-York did
not need the CONVEX ton and shoLld not have it.
The claims of Milwaukee were first advanced
by Governor Peck. of Wisconsin. lie came, he
said, not 10 fight gentlemen. but to 60 into a

CHAMPIONS OF NEw-YoRK.
The contest was then continued, New-lorll being
the next city to enter the ranks OF combatanis.
Fer first champion was James Breslin representing
the hotclkcepcrs. lie voiced the sentiments of
the hotelkeepers of that and adjacent cities III
saying that no imposition would be practscd upon
the delegates or any visitors, and rendered to all
the assurance that their bodily wants would be
attended to promptly and efficiently. An alluslon
he made TO Senator David Is. Hill was received
with great enthusiasm, though over the faces OF
some of the delegates came an expression OF DIS
approval as if there was some feeling that the
name of no aspirant should be mentioned. Mr..
Breslin referred to Senator Hill as a diamond
of the first water, in whom 10 one
could find a flaw. Mr.. Meyers, Controller of the
City of Ncw-Iork, the next speaker. lie
urged the selection ot that city as factor in the
coming campaign. The history Of the State OF
Ncw-Yorll in past elections was too familiar 10

been due to its detection The importance and
value of other States were in no wise helitted by
the assertion that the thirty-siN electoral votes
Of New-Nork carried with them victory or defeat.
He knew well that by fallacious arguments almost
any State in broad Union might be made to
appear pivotal but on the evening OF elecuoh
day when millions of Democrats awaited mpa-
tientlv the returns which should bring JOY or
sorrow. toward what State were al eyes first
