SELECTIONS FROM THE MAIL
EARLY REPUBLICAN HISTORY.

EAkL1 REPUBLICAN hlSIOR1.
SOME OF MR.. HADLEY's STATEMENTS AS TO THE
SARATOGA CONVENTION coNTRovERTEp
To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir. In The Tribune OF January % I was pleased
TO read the early experiences OF Amos K. Hadley.
most Of which / can corroborate. but ne fell into
an error when he said: II was present
visitor at the convention in Saratoga in 1876 when
the Republican party had It's inception. II was
strange gathering" etc.
My friend Hadley is in error as TO the date Of
That convention. II held in August. 1854. and
was composed OF four delegates from each Assem-
bly, district elected By the people without regard
TO party and not trsmmeed by any organization
1T was spontaneous protest against the pro-
posed Entertainments OF the slave power. and In
c!uded many Of the ablest men In the State. John
a. King. afterwsrd Governor was temporary
president. and Vice-Chancellor McConn was per-
manent president. The writer a delegate from
Saratoga County, and one OF committee OF six
teen on resolutions. OK which Horace Greeley was
chairman. who made the report merely announc-
ing principles without proposing 10 act which
was adopted by the convention. Tho writer made
a minority repor; proposing 20 nominate an indie
pender; ticket. but the chairman ruled II out of
order. and declared the convention adjourned with
out making a ticket.
In the fall tho Wing party nominated Myron H.
Clark for Governor. who wac elected by a small
majority. IN 1885 the Wing party. In convention
az syracuse, dissolved and became merged into
new party but the ticket defeated, the
Know Nothings" carried the State that year. In
lxi was the first National Convention held by the
Republican party when Fremont was nominated
Mr.. Greeley frequently stated that It a mis-
take that the convention OF 1874 failed TO nominate
a ticket. and that his action was upon tho advice
Of Seward and Weed. Later in tho same year The
Tribune announced that the firm Of Seward. Weed
& Greeley dissolved.
Isaac Dayton a member Of the convention
Of 1854 and think his recollection will agree with
