Causes a Rupture in Syracuse
Convention.
STATE DEMOCRACY SPURN OFFER MADE
After Being Refused One-Third Votes
Grace F Fairchild Delegates Left the
Hall-Full Ticket Nominated
Summary of Resolutions
Adopted.

turbing to the leaders, who counseled har.
mony in the Democratic ranks, is the
situation this morning.
Pie action early to-day of the COM
mittea on credentials was surprise.
Here is the resolution adopted:
"Tammany hall is entitled to recogni-
tion in all future conventions as regular
and its delegates are to be placed upon
the preliminary and other rolls thereof;
and in the appointment of inspectors of
election and in every other way, in which
the question of party organization may
arise, said Tammany hall organization
shall be recognized and seated as the
regular organization of the party in New
York county; but, in the interest of har-
mony at this time, the committee recon-
mends, subject to the aforesaid condi-
tions, that the sitting delegates, as we'll
as the delegates known as the state
Democracy, be admitted to the conven-
tion with one-fifth of vote to each state
Democracy vote, and four-ifths of vote
to each Tammany hall delegate"
On the question, "Shall the delegates
be admitted with one-third of vote
eachY" the vote was twenty-five for and
twenty-seven against. Senator Hill voted
no.
Ed. York then offered a resolution
that the state Democracy delegations be
given seats with one-fifth of vote each.
This was carried by vote of thirty-two
to seventeen. Senator Hill voted aye.
The state Dem ooraoy met, and Everett
P. Wheeler offered a resolution, claiming
that their vote entitled them as loyal
Democrats to full recognition, and they
should not accept the offer made.
This was adopted unanimously and a
committee was appointed to 60 before
the convention refusing the representa-
tion given them.
Ex-Secretary Fairchild Endorsed this
action.
A delay in the opening of the conven-
tioa was caused by conference for the
purpose of trying to persuade John Boyd
Thacher, of Albany, who is personally
friendly to both sections of the party, to
accept the nomination for the comptrol-
lership.
Mr. Thacher refused absolutely at first.
Then began series of arguments by the
leaders to induce him to fall in line.
It was 11:25 when the gavel fell and the
credentials committees report was called
for.
The resolution giving the New York
state Democracy one-ffth representation
was adopted. The state Democracy men
left the hall.
The platform affirms the following
principles: Home rule; economy in pub
llc expenses; honesty in public office;
equal and honest enforcement of all
laws; equal taxation; individual liberty;
honest elections; reform in the civil SER
vice; promotion of agriculture; improved
beneficial legislation in
the interest of labor; opposition
to combines, trusts and monop-
olies; federal taxation for revenue
only; sound money; gold and silver only
to be legal tender; no currency not con-
vertible into coin; gradual retirement
and extinction of greenback currency;
no free and unlimited coinage of silver;
strict construction of the federal consti-
tuition; no entangling alliances with
foreign nations; enforcement of the Mon
roe doctrine.
The platform also indorsed the admin
of President Cleveland.
Charles 8. Fairchild, of New York, said
when he left the convention to-day
"The Associated Press can announce
We will have ticket of our own on
all local issues"
"Will You affiliate with the Republi-
cans!"
81 don't know. As yet we have not
made decision"
As tho Grace Fairchild delegates left
the hall, they were alternately cheered and
hissed.
When the tumult subsided, Ex-Governor
Flower was made permanent chairman
and delivered an address in which he said
that the Republican party in New York
had betrayed the people. He predicted
Democratic success in the national elec-
tion next year.
Gen. Horatio G. King was nominated
for secretary of state; John B. Judson,
of Fulton, for mptroller; Norton Chase,
Of Albany, for attorney general; d. @.
Dow, of Sch oharie, for state treasurer.
