believe that by nominating him to lead the party in the approaching contest for the presidency the national conven- tion will carry out the almost unanimous wish of the party and best consult the vel fare of the country. We pledge ourselves to support the candidates nominated in Chicago. The delegation chosen by this convention is instructed to act as a unit according to the determination of a major ity of it's members.
 STORM OF APPLAUSE.
 The Announcement of the mid-winter convention was greeted with vociferous ap- plause. The reference to Grover Cleve- land as being able to carry New York state again moved the convention to its feet and to storm of applause, while the affirmation that this convention and its constituencies would support the nominee at Chicago, whoever he might be, was greeted with ringing cheers. William Lounsbury of Kingston seconded the reso- lutions.
 Among other things he said: "The office of president is once more seeking the man the man logical to the situation. Cleve- land is to be nominated by two-thirds or by exclamation. When the war needs were over @ revenue tariff became woven into the party creed. President Cleveland spoke the party belief in words of fire. Through temporary defeat he has lived to see the people educat- ed to their interests until there is no certain republican state with the possible exception of Vermont. Cleveland is the nominee of logic and we only need stand by and see that truth is mighty and mill d. Do, Hili candidate for president, or that he has ever been a candidate for president, He has been the victim of the diabolism of circumstances which has led him into wrong. We do not protest. We are in the swim. We are carried on irresistibly to victory"
 OTHER SPEECHES.
 Frederick w. Hinrichs of Brooklyn next spoke. He said: "This campaign is es- sentially campaign of young men and Grover Cleveland is the candidate of the young men. [Applause.l Now that we have an organization such as New York state has never seen let us use our power with discretion. We are the people. [Applause. In. my opinion we must with our seventy-two men knock at the doors of the national convention. [Great applause]. We ara bound to appeal to the only responsible court in this great land which the national party itself has created to tell us whether we represent the democracy of New York or not. [Ap- plause]. Democracy must of necessity nominate Grover Cleveland because he is a democrat" [Applause].
 Robert Mccarthy of Syracuse, who was state charity commissioner under Governor Hill, next addressed the convention. He said: "We are here, trust, at protest ants ard not as contestors. [Cries of "No, no."] We are here to denounce the recent outrageous action at Albany and not to denounce men who seek political prefer ment. Had the will of the people been needed in February last this convention would not have been called"
 Joel Benton of Duchess county said: Ut is not our fault nor have we alone created the fact that in New York as in all states one name leads every name and all names as the rightful candidate for presi- dent. Our convention will warn marplots and .tricksters that the presidency of this great nation will not be won as sports man gets prize turkey at raffle."

 The report of the resolutions committee was then adopted. Mir. Pease of the reso- lutions committee then presented the fol lowing supplemen resolution, which was adopted:
