Syracuse. n. Y. September 25.-The
action of the Credentials Committee
last night, giving Tammany four-ffths
OF the vote OF New York county and the
State Democracy one-ffth resulted in
the refusal OF the State Democracy to
accept anything or sit as delegates in
the convention.
At the convention hall the delegates
began TO gather as early as $3.50. The
band arrived about 10 o'clock and en-
livened the place with popular airs
which the delegates vigorously ap-
plauded.
1t was 1925 when the gavel fell and
the credentials Committees report was
called for.
When the New York contest was
reached the resolution as adopted in
committee was read during intense
quiet
There was a long discussion of the
resolution giving Tammany f0ur-tifths
and the State Democracy One-ffth,
during which the crowd called the
State Democracy representatives Goo
goOs. " while several speakers defended
them and declared that their work of
reform in New York city had been for
the good of the party and that there
were ample evidences that reform was
needed. A resolution was offered TO
make it three-fourth and one-fourth,
but this was also defeated and the
State Democracy delegates left the hall,
hissed by some and cheered by others.
When the tumult had subsidized the
report of the committee on permanent
organization was read and the chair
appointed John Boyd Thacher and
James n Sheppard to escort ex-Gov-
ernOr Flower 10 the chair. Assuming
the position of permanent chairman,
Mr.. Flower said:
l count myself out of actual politics,
but I am too earnest a Democrat to re-
fuse the call of my party If it needs my
service on such an occasion as this, and
feel proud at being asked TO preside
over the deliberations of a convention
whose action will as I believe, reflect
the Judgment and opinions of a major
ity of voters in the Empire State at
the next election.
In victory or in defeat there is al
ways one sure and lasting satisfaction
in being a DemOcrat-and that is the
consciousness of belonging to a party
which is, whatever else may he said of
it. the party of the plain people and the
party which instinctively and mutually
abhOrs political hypocrisy and false
pretenses Democrats NAV make mis-
takes in policy or in conduct. 1ut there
is that rough honesty about them which
makes them shrink from political pro-
fessions that are not genuine, but are
made only to deceive voters until after
election day. Thank heaven the Dem
ocratic party is not party of cant and
hypocrisy.
After giving details of what Mr..
Flower called "the contrast between
Republican promises and Republican
performances. the speaker expressed
himself on national issues as follows:
"I have alluded as yet only to mat
ters of State concern. for in the coming
election those are the questions Of par
amount interest. but federal issues can
not and will not be ignored. FOrtu-
nately for the Democratic party, the
tide is with it here also. Every week S
Improvement in industry and COM
merce is a vindication of that Demo-
cratic craftsmanship which placed the
finances Of the country on a sound ba-
sis by repealing the Sherman law and
revived waning industry by the enact
ment of the Wilson bill. To those two
beneficial measures every recent in
crease of wages, every recent advance
in business. every recent sale of Amer
lean securities in Europe, every recent
opening of mills is distinctly due. The
hard times which followed the fright
caused by the Sherman law are rap
idIv disappearing. under favoring con-
ditions. and for recovery from hardship
and depression. credit must be given to
the party which had the sagacity to re-
move the causes of financial and indus
trial disaster. Danger of deprecated
currency now is gone and tariff duties
are no longer so high as to restrict for
eign commerce and Over-stimulate
few industries at the expense Of the
many The people will not be easily
deuded. nor can their confidence be
shaken in the integrity and intelli-
qence of the Democratic federal ad-
at whose head is honest
and courageous Grover Cleveland.
oTbe contest we are beginning Is the
contest for next years
great political battle in the nation.
Damocratic success this fall in New
York will make Democrats lirt up their
heads and buckle on their hghtlng ar
NOR Victory here now will do much
IN secure victory in the nation. 50
let ms subordinate all selfish or local IN
terests and Join each other in restoring
to power the party to which we belong
and in which we believe.
The speech Of Governor Flower was
received with much applause and then
Chairman Lockwood appeared and be-
gan the reading Of the platform.
