The record-union., 1895-09-26

fully brought the country out of the dis
astrous financial and industrial ruin into
which it was plunged by the ill-con-
served acts of the Republican party.
I'VE indorse the administration of
President Cleveland.
"Ne g invite the attention of electors to
the hUmiliating record made by the Re-
publican party in its recent restoration to
power in this State. In full control OF all
branches of the State Government,
equipped with complete power 10 accom-
plish promised reforms, it has prodigally
wasted the peoples money and forfeited
public confidence by its defiance Of the
popular will aud its scandalous disregard
OF the public welfare"
The resolution adopted by the Commit
tee on Contested Seats WAS as follows:
''Tammany Hall is entitled to recogni-
ton in all future conventions as regular,
and its delegates are to be placed upon the
preliminary and other rolls thereof, and
il the appointment OF inspectors of cleo
tions the use of the party mblem and in
every otner way III which the question of
party organization may arise said Tam
many Hall organization shall be recog-
niZed and seated as the regular organiZa-
ton of the party In New \ ork County;
but III the interest of harmony at this
time, the committee recommends, sub
ject to the aforesaid conditions, that the
known as the S.ate Democracy, be ad-
initted to the convention. with one-titth
OF a vote to each State Democracy dele
gate and f0ur-tiit Of vote to each Tam

testants one-third representation. 1t was

1t was 9:45 before the Grace tairchild

The following resolutions were intro
duced by l.. =. Wheeler, and were un-
animously adopted:
WHEREAS, The New York State Dem
ocraoy, as organized III New York City, is
com posed of Democrats, and therefore
opposed to the management and methods
OF Iamnany Hall; and, whereas, as such,
in justice and in conformity TO the DOmo-
cratic principles and to many preceGents
IN previous years, the Stale democracy is
entitled to representation in the State
convention, and in the State committee;
and, whereas, the resolution adopted by
the Committee on Contested Seats gives
neither, but in effect only allows a certain
numb Der OF delegates from the State Dem
ocracy TO sit by courtesy in this conven-
ton; therefore,
ReSOiUel, That we decline TO accept the
terms offered by said committee.
ReS0jOed, That we declare the terms on
which alone we can accept admission to
the convention must include recognition
of our right as an organization OF loyal
Democrats TO be represented in the coun-
cils of the party.
At 11:26 o'clock the convention was
called to order by Temporary Chai rmaD
Perry Belmont: The first business was
the report of the Committee on Creden-
tials.
James D. Bell of Kings County pre-
ssnted the report of the Committee on
Credentials. In the contests in Oswego
and Queens County the committee re-
ported in favor OF the sitting delegates.
This was adopted He then reported the
resolution adopted last night by the COM
mittee, giving the New York State
Democracy oue-tifth representation in
the convention, and for this convention
only, and declaring the TamInany dele
gates to be the only regular delegates
from New FORK County. Each Tam
many Hall delegate under the resolution
is given four-h1ths OF a vote, and each
Grace Fairchi)d delegate one-fifth vote.
Charles j. Patterson of Kings County
then presented the following resolution:
ResOLUed, That upon the roll-call OF this
convention the names of both the sitting
and the contesting delegates from New
York County be called, and that the sit
ting delegation be awarded seventy votes
and the coniesting delegation thirty-fiye
votes in the convention, and that the sit
ting delegation select eight members OF
the state Committee and the cOntesting
delegation four members OF the State
Committee, subject, however, to the right
of the organization represented by the
sitting delegates to use the party em blem
for their local ticket in case of differences.
There was q shout of Platform ~
"Platform !' and cheers from the gallery
when Mr.. Patterson's resolution was
read. He took the platform and spoke on
his substitute resolution for that offered
by the Committee on Credentials, saying
that he spoke for the Shepard delegates
of Kings County.
When Mr.. Patterson had finished,
James ID. Bell, Chairman OF the regular
Democracy OF Kings County and Chair
man Of the Committee on Credentials,
! spoke against giving the one-third repre-
! sentation, and Senator Guy of the New
! York Tammany delegation said for that
! organization that il was willing 10 bow 10
/ the will OF the convention. But" he
| continued, "we don't say that we will go
t back to our constituents and say that we
will be answerable for their acIion."
Jeers greeted this remark.
Ex-senator Grady followed Senator
| Guy, repeating almost wOru for word the
argument delivered by him before the
| Committee on Contested Seats last night.

O'Clock, the vote was taken on the Patter-
son amendment, placing the names of
! both delegations on the rolls. 1t was
! lost Then the question of adopting the
report OF the Committee on Credentials,
/ giving the contestants one-hfth represen-
! tation, was put and carried by a large
| Affirmative vote.
Confusion followed. Tammany men
cheered, and cries OF derision were heard
! from the spectators benches. In the
midst Of it all, the Grace Eairchild Demo-
Gratis arose and marched out of the hall.
/ Tammany delegates jeered them, and
! the Shepard Democrats from Kings rose
/ in their places and gave the retiring dele
gates three cheers. Chairman Belmont
pounded on the desk with his gavel, but
il was sevaral minutes betore business
could 20 on.
