and enthusiastic meeting Of anti Hill

Piles and condeming the acts of the
politicians who had attempted to dds
franchise the great democratic majori-
ty;;" ratifping the call for the Syracuse
convention, disclaiming and repudiat-
ing any intention or desire to disrupt
or in anywise injure the Democrtic par
ty, and declaring that whatever may
have been the estimation in which Hill
has been held in the past by the Dem
ocrats of this State, it is now evident
that the course he has pursued with
reference to the vital issues OF tariff
reform and honest money, his uDscru-
pulous political methods in this State
since last November; his unseenily and
disgraceful effurts to obtain the pIesi>
dental nomination, and his continued
and conte mptCous neglect Of senatorial
duty, have estrauged from his support
ninetenths Of the voters III the State
and his nomination, or the nomination
of any man supposed to be subject to
his influence or control. would result
in the overwhelming defeat Of the ma
tional ticket in the State,
Secretary Fairchild was then intro
duced and in his speech laid down as
starting point the principle that
every member of party had right
to be represented in convention, and
if he believed the delegation did not
represent him, then he had the right
to seek to be represented by contesting
delegation. He asserted that for years
an effort had been made IN New York
State to build up an organization to car
ry out the wishes OF three or four men,
at most, and not the shes Of the mas
SEES of the Democratic party.
He contended that the delegation
of the 22nd of February instructed for
d, B. Hill, did not represent the
Democracy Of the State and that the
delegation elected to the 31st of May
did. He continued:
every few people here, and few
Democrats anywhere in the State,
believe that if the action of the Albany
convention should be ratified oy the
nationtl convention, the result would
be ANYTHING else than disastrous to the
Democratic party. Therefore the
great motive which moved all of US
was to save the Demo cratic party, to
save our friends in the South from all
the consequences which come from
disaster to the Democratic party in
the North. A truthful history of the
caucuses from which tbs members of
the February convention trace their
authority, will show that, that nven-
ton expresses not merely an ill-con-
sidered, premature expression Of New
4ork's Democracy, but that it is a
false and fraudulent expression: that
there was general conspiracy, oover-
ing the whole State, to deprive the
people of their rights. When we APP
pear before the national convention in
Chicago we will 60 before that body
that it is a court of equity
as well as court of law. We will
show that the delegation Of the Feb
Iuary convention, as instructed by
that convention, grossly misrepresents
the Democracy of this State, and that
it musts if it obeys those instructions
Gas claim will be made that it is in
honor bound to do) so vote and act as
to bring diraser to our party and
what is worse, dishonor."
He Was followed by ex Mayor Grace
and Frank NJ. Thorn.
The cheering was sentinunus and
every reference to Cleveland's name
was the signal f'r repeated applause.
