Y¥., April %.—At twenty minutes pnst 19 o’clock to-day the Tilden or regular Democratic Convention assombled in Wieting’s Opera-House, No one was admit- ted to the hall without o ticket, and a ticket ‘was difficult to obtaln. .Consequently the at- tendance was not as.largo as It would other- wiso have been, ‘Tho Opern-Touse was only ‘comfortably filled. Gen. Lester B, Faulkner called the Convention to order, and made the introductory address, Tle referred to the at- tempt of Kelly last fall to control the Conven- tlon by snorificing Robinson, and denouncing it, and’ the inethods of Tammany.. This speech was greeted with mingled applause and hissing. The honest Democrats would not sacrifice principle to tempt success. Not that they wanted to retain in offico.a man who was tired of it, but to maintain and por potuate the victory of 1870. Hayes was not elected by the people, but by a majority of one {na tribunal unknown to tho Constitu- tion. He called it political assasinatton, and denounced President Hayes ‘in unmeasured terms,,calling the Electoral Commission a nofarlous scheme. :The name of Samuol J, Tilden called forth some applause and n loud hiss, Ie would. rather forego the honor ef being President than plungo thocountry into a civil war. The speaker proceeded to culogizo Mr, Tildon. [A volco: “fo's n coward,’’}] Mr. Faulkner kopt on in this vein amid 5 cies oF “Dry uP.” Whether ho will again accept an Invitation to official toll or not, the speaker was not In- formed. The Instructions to the Cincinnatl delegation should not take tho form of a de- mand, but should réflect the undivided senti- ment of tho party of the State. Ho rend n quotation from a declaration from Tilden’s specch four years ago, hoping that Tammany would return to the Convention of that year and support the nominees and policy of the party, At the conclusion of his remarks, Gen, Faulkner suggested for Temporary Chatr- man of tho Convention the lion. John ©, Jacobs, of Kings, and for Recording Secre- tarios Charles I. Truax of New York, 'T, J. Clark of Jefferson, and W. W. Nichols of Allegany. The nominations were ratlied by the Convention. Mr. Jacobs was greeted with applause, and proceeded tomake 8 spoech, in which he sald that Tilden was elected four years ago by a majority so larga that no honest man had ever quostloned It, though another occupied the Presidential Chair, Jo commended the patriotism of tho Democratic party in submitting pencefully, and then urged that In the future the Domocracy must be harmonious and united If they were to win, The remarks caused yery little enthusiasm, Mr, Hender- son, of Cattaraugus, moved the appointment of a Committeo on Pormanent Organization consisting of ane from each Congressional district, Tho resolution was handed up to the table, but went no further, Tho Chalr ordored tho roll-call as prepared by the Stato Committee, WHEN NEW YORK WAS REACHED by tho Seoretary, Mr. Frank Duplgnao, of the Ninth District, who occupled a seatinthe Parquet, arose, and, having been recog- nized, presented a bundle of credentials, which ho sald were those of the regularly- elected delegates for Now York, Ho said ho was the only one of the number who had becn fortunate enough to get upon the floor, Mr. Dupignac moved the recognition of tho dologntes represented by him. The Chatr ruled the motion out of order, but sald he would presont the papers to the Committee on Conteated Seats, when appointed, Five districts appeared to be contested, At this point the battle began. Mr. Till, of Chemung, offered a resolution that a coin- inittee be appointed on contested seats, con- alatlng of one from each Congressional Dis- trict, Gen, Miller, of Seneca, moved asan amend- ment that the Assembly Districts in which there were contests be excluded from repre- sentation upon the proposed Committec. Mr. Mahon, of Schioharle, proposed an amendment to the amendment, which was already provided for. Mr, Jl trusted that the amendments offered to his resolution would not prevail. ‘The resolution was substantlally that adopted in 1878. Last year it was adopted upon the arguments of Mr, Kelly and Mr, Dorshelmer. GEN, HALL WS SURPRISED that the Convention should be asked to fol- low the example of Mr. Kelly and Mr, Dors- heimer. Ife thought his resolution the only just ono offered. . Tho contestants would not be tried by it by a tribunal like those of the military, for conviction. Mr. Brooke, of New York, rose to oppose tho adoption of the amendment. Io snd it would exclude tha New York delegation frum participation In thenction ofthe Committee, The amendment would operate with extreme hardship against Now York County. Mr. Dupignac, who presented the ereden- tints of tho contestants from New York, at- tempted to be heard, but the Chair falled to grant him the favor, and a how! of rebellion rose from thg house, Mr. Ruger, of Onondaga, was recognized by the Chair, and delivered an eloquent speech, opposing Mr. Hill’s motion, which he sald was contrary to every principle of Jus tice. If they desired success it was neces- snry to exercise every care to organize thls Convention so as to reflect tho sentiment of the people. If they did not they would have no moro influence than any Board of Super. visors. Every Conventiqn must act for itself, No State Committee has the right to say who shall have sents in this Convention. Tho Stato Committeo had placed upon tho roll the names of men who ! REPRESENTED NO CONSTITUENCIES whatever. Delegates must prove their title to seats before they cold claim them. As tho roll of this Convention had been made up by a usurping State Conyention, a good many delegates had questioned whether they would coma into the Conventloh at nll. Ifan injus- tice was to be perpetrated, then this Conven- tion had no authority from the people of this State but that of aself-constituted State Com- inittee. Referring to the Third District of Onondaga County he sajd that men hadbeen placed {n seats here who could not be elected delegates from any tows in the county, Pro- longed applause greeted Mr. Ituger, who Is anti-Tildon, Gen. Faulknor and Col. Fellows, of New York, both arose and coinpeted for the eye of the Chairman. ‘The Ponvention was up- ronrlous for some minutes in the midst of cheers for Mr. Ruger anit Horatio Scymour and hisses for Faulkner and Fellows, QUIET HEING NEBTORED, Gen. Faulkner was recognized. Ile spoke in favor of the original resolution before the Convention. He said thatin 1877 the gentle man from Onondaga supported a resolution exactly similar In character, Mr. Ruger asked the privilege of ‘the floor a moment. Mr. Faulkner refused ‘to givo way. Con- tinulng, he. sald every delegate on the roll had a right to the floor until he had been dis- franchised by tho Comthittee on Contested Seats. Mr. Ruger took tho flopr and said that 3fr. Faulkner was in errorjas to the resolution, which oxeluded oll defegates whose seats were contested. Col. Fellows, of. New York, favored the original resolution in A humorous speech. Tie said that minorities. were always more eensitive to shocks than were majorities. ‘Tho roll was called, and the amendment defeated by 80 yeas to 205 nnys, THE ORIGINAL RESOLUTION Qs offered by Mr. Hill was then adopted by a viva voce vote. Tho Chair robuked tho gal- lerles for unwarranted interruption. He requested the officers to preserve order. - Mr. John B, Haskins, generally known as “Osceola,” who announced that he was dele- gated by tho Shakspenra Mall Convention to present a proposition for the appointment of a Conference Committed, enme forward and was heard. He handajap tho proposal in writing. The Chair announcing that it would be presented to the Convention after the roll- esll, Mr. Haskins insisted that the pro- posal ahould be read. Everybody began to talk, and scene of confusion ensued. Tho Chair was determined to smother the propo- snl, and succeeded In so doing, but tho action called out tho indignation of the gallery. Mr. Brown said tho Chair was trying to play o snap game. . z Mr. Ruger presented a printed MEMORIAL OF THE DEMOCRATIC UNION of New York, which he asked to have re- forred to the Committes on Resolutions, It ‘was so referred, Mr. Peckham, of Albany, offered a resolu- tion, which was adopted, authorizing delegna- tlons from the Congressional districts to se- lect delegates to the Cincinnati Convention. Mr. Beobe, of Sullivan, offered a resolution ‘nuthorizing a similar Committee to select Presidential Electors. Adjourned to 4:30 o'clock. ‘The Convention reassembled at the ap- pointed time. Tho gullerics were packed with Interested lookers-on, and many stand- ing. ‘The first business which claiined atten- ton, after the Chair had called the Conyen- tlon to order, was rending of the communica- tion addressed to the Chair, naming the Con- ferenco Committee, appointed by tho Shak- ar nll. The letter wus referred to tho ominittes on Resolutions, —* Mr, ‘Tabor, of Queens, presented 1 resolu- tion favoring the unit rule, Amid loud murmurings this was referred to the Com- m tee, A lively brash oceurred on the appoint- ment of a member of the Committes on Con- tested Seats, ‘The several Congressional districts at this polnt announced the Committee on Perma- nent Organization, Mr. Peckham, of Albany, moved that the Convention proceed in the same manner to humluate delegates to the National Conven- jon. , Mr. Mahon, of Schoharie, made tho point of order that tha dolenntes could not be made ‘up until a report hind been recelyed from the Committee on Contested Seats, The Com- mittea on Resolutions was announced by Congressional districts, and tha Committee on Contested Seata was nominated by Con- gressional districts. Mr. Beebee, of Sullivan, suggested that the Congressional districts in which no contest appeared names committee upon the appoint: mont of delegates to the Natlonal Conven- tion, Tho proposition being objectud ta, it ‘was not pressed. ‘The Convention took a re- cess until half-past 7 o’clock, to give the Comnilttees time to deliberate, ASSEMBLING, Zo the Western Anociated Press, Synacusze, N, Y., April 20—Tho sim- ultaneous holding of two Democratic Btate Conventions prevented tho usual crush at 8 entrance to oither, Lester Faulkner, Chairman of the regular Central Committee, called tha Convention to order, and sald tho Democrats would not sacrifice thelr Dem- ocratic principles in order to gain success, He commented on what he called the elevation of Hayes to the Presi- dency by fraud. If he who was in fact elect- ed had’ sald the word, a million armed men would havo sprung forward to establish t result, The name of ‘Tilden was received with great applause, mingled with hisses, renewed when the speaker stated that Til- den torbore the assertion of his own right to the Presidency out of a greater regard for the peace of his country, He was not Informed whether that distinguished citizen would again accept # cull to officlal posi- tlon. {Laughter.) Me has never been de feated before the people [applause], and he never will be. - JOIN 0, JACOBS, State Senator from Brooklyn, was mado Temporary Chairman, s Daring the call of tho roll tharg was at confusion, so many contesting delegulions ask! be heard, Seymour's name was mentioned In discussion, and it was received with mingled cheers ‘and hisses, ‘These pro- ceedings wera interrupted by the appearance of 8 committee from the rival Convention, agking for a conteyenceto consider the means for securing harmony in the party and a united delegation to Clncinnatt. ! informed the “Committes that the’ matter Informe tt would be Said before the’Convention whi the call of the roll was disposed on en After a protracted discussion, a resolution was adopted that the delegates from the sev- eral Congreavloual Distrivls select one dele | asin, gato from each Congressional Districtto con- stitute a Committee on Credentials, to which Committee shall be referred all questions of contested seats, A communication from the Democratic Union organization, also a resolution of tha ‘Tammany Conventlon, asking for a confer- enee, were referred by the Chair to the Com, mittee on Hesolutlons, Several Congres- ajonal District delegations were then author- Ized by resolution to name one delegate from ench district to form a delegation to the No- tlonal Convention at Clucinnatt, A recess was then taken. COMMITTERS, ‘The Convention reassembled at f o'clock, Committees on organization, contested seats, and resolutions were appointed, and the Con- vention took a reccas. At twenty minutes to 10 the Convention was called to order and awalted the report of the Committec on Contested Seats, , A GMOS8 OUTRAGE, The Committe reported in favor of all the altting members ag placed upon the roll by the State Committee, and the pravious ques- tlon on the adoption of the report was ordered, Mr. Brown, of Otsego, denounced as n gross outrage any action which should de- prive the minority of an opportunity to ree port, and asked that his protest against this infamy should be entered, [Applause.} The Committes report was then adopted, with 2 few dissents. [Applause and hisses]. John C. Jacobs was chosen permanent Chairman. A resolution that the ‘iclegates from each Congresstonal district select n member of tho State Committee and send the names to the Chairman was udopted.

Mr, Morrison, from the Committee on Resolutions, to which was referred the regujutions received from the Tammany Con- vention, reported a3 follows: Reakval, Tont tho President of this Conven- tion be requested to reply to the communication recelved, and to assure tho signers that this Con- yention reciprocates every expression of desire for a union of the Democratic party, and fire porauuded that the dellberntive wisdom of tho National Convention will result in such action us will secure the triumph of the Demo- grntle party tn the State of Now York and in tho Union in the onsuing Presidential clection.

A motion that the State Committee shall have power to fill vacancies in the list of Presidential Electors was adopted, Abram 8, Hewitt was chosen Elector-at- Large, THE OLD story. Mr. Morrison, from the Committee on Res- olutions, reported the following: 10 Democratic party of New York renew thelr fidelity to the principles sot forth by the Nation- al Democratic Convention nt St. Louls, and ap. proved hy the decisive sopubT mrjority tn the Presidential election of 1670. ‘Tho victory thon wont was in tho namo and for the sake of reform. Tho people were dpfrauded of tho frults of that viotory -by a fis count of the Electoral votes.

Speetat Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune, * Synacusr, N. Y., April 20,—Shortly after 8o'clock this morning n special train from New York, conalsting of fifteen. Wagner slecping conches halted In Vanderbilt Square, and there alighted the Hon. John Kelly and 500 members of Tammany. Hall and thelr sympathizers, who came for the purpose of particlpating in the deliberations of the Democratic State Convention called to assemble in this elty by Nathaniel C. Monk, Chairman of what is known us the Kelly Democratic State Committee, One of the ecarsborea long strip of muslin on which was printed {n bold black letters, “Tam- many Ilatt Special.” ‘The party was met by an’ iinmensa crowd, and great deal of enthusiasm was shown. Each man belonging to the Kelly party wore a big Dlue badge with an Inseription announcing that the wearer was a ‘Tanunany delegate. ‘The Convention} assembled In Shakspeare Tlall at 12 o'clock, ‘The stage was decorated whh American flags, and portraits of the Hon. John Wolly were suspended in the rear of the Spettrer's chalr. At half-past 12 o’clock John B. Hasklas,: of New York, In the absence of Mr. Moak, ealled the Conven- tion toorder. ‘The lower floor, of the hall was filled, ‘and the galleries contained & large number of observers. Mr, Haskins nondnated the Hon. William Dorsheimer for Temporary Chairman, and appointed the Hon, John Kelly, of New York, and tho IIon, Erastus Corning, of Albany, a committee to conduct Mr. Dorsheimer to thechair. En- thusiastic cheers greeted these gentlemen ns they ascended the platform together. P. W. Rhoades of New York, R. M. Skeets of Ningara, and J. J. Martin of New York were made Seercturles. Mit, DORSHEIMER SAID it was the duty of every Democrat in Syra- cuse to bring about the consolidation of the Democracy of New York, to the end that some man might be named in the National Convention who shall command the united suffrages of the country. Let those who wish to keep the party disunited take the respon- sibility. “Beyond a poradventure,” said he, “New York is a Democratic State. It thore were wisdom enough to unite in recommend- ing Horatio Scymour [prolonged cheers], the party would unite with » power as re- sistless as that with which the current of the Hudson finds its way to the sea, There fs no division of opinion on the question of polley which divides the Democratic party.” Mr. Dorshelmer urged wiso and thoughtful de liberation on the part of those present, and then ifthelr solicitations were unhoeded he ad- vised such action a8 would proclaim to the National Convention the correct condition of affairs in this State. Judge Parker, of Albany, said, for the purpose of giving practical effect to the efforts for harmony, he offered the following: Resolved, That a committos of sixteen mem- bers of this Convention. two from each Judictst District, be appointed hy tho Chair to meet with allke committee appolited by tho other Con- veution, if such committee ‘bo appointed, to consider and dotermine upon such action on tho part of both Conventions as will provide for a united elesnrion ta the National Conyennon, aud for such united action on tho part of the Demoernoy of the State as will secure tho yoto of this State for the Democratic nomiuco for the Presidency.

Parker, * EXTENDING THE OLIVE BRANCI, had been presented by him to the Faulkner Convention, but it had referred them to the Committee on Resolutions yet to be appolnt- ed, which meant to kill them. A howl went upfrom tho Convention that wotld: have caused the Tilden crew to tremblo in their boots had they heard. ‘The Convention then took a recess for ten utinutes, During the recess Thomas F. Grady addressed the Convention: “ If the Presidential candidate,” sald he, “1s to come from New York State, the people havo de- clared that lie must bo the Sage of Deer- flold." Tremendous applause grooted the reference to Seymour, Tho Hon, John Kelly was next called upon to nddress the Convention, and was greeted with enthuslastic cheers. Tho burden of his remarks was that a delegation should ba sent to Cireinnatl unpledged. While not at- tacking Tildon directly, Kelly inthuated that ho was not worthy of tho support of the De- mocracy, and would causa’ the party to lose the Presidency. The Chair appoluted'J, D.

You sent a resolution to the Convention over the way asking that body to codperate with you to bring about harmony, ‘They treated your message with contempt, and how, let mo ask, are they going to answer to the Convention at Cincinnati for thelr refusal to entertain any plan to harmonize the differences between the factions of-tha Democratic party in New Yor py ‘ ‘auy owvikys nnd loudly cheeged. Mr, 0, PRICE FIVE T A Calllott, of, Atvany, Chairman of the Com- inittee an Resolutions, presented the follow- ing asthe platform and sentiments of the Convention: : AN ADDRESS TO THE DEMOCRACY OF ITB STAT ' AND NATION, : Tho Democracy of Now York in Convention assembled reaffirm thotr unnitorable devotion to Democratic principles as ontnclated by Jeffer- sonand other foundors of the Hey ithtle and illustrated by three gonerntions of Demooratio statesmen. We stand on tho historic ground of: tho angiont, arty woe traditions aro ns old ns tho Nation Iteclf: tho sovereignty of the peo ple, whoso right itis to rule; tho Constitution, tho magna chart of all Mbertics and tho bul- wark of our {nstitutions; tho rights of theStates to self-government under tho Constitution: tho superiority of tho civil authority to tho military power; free and falr elections without: Federal interforence; tho honest, economical adininistration of the Government for tho inter> on of all eee and phase sp aliks: emocrney and popular rights aro synonymous terms. The Democracy of New York i Cons vention~nssombled to sclect delegates to tho National Democratio Convention declare their unshiken attachment to the D Y of the Union. Together wo stand on historic Principles, with traditions and associations which invest our party namo with grandeur, bound = together by tho — closest tles of sontiment, policy, and feat- ing, with no, sectlonal animosities nor local prejudices’ to produco allenation, with nothing that should prevent the hoarticst union and codperation in tho boring: Presidential campaign; and when the vital prinoiptes of Democracy ara mbst viotontly nsaalicd, and the party of centralization and consolidation pro: so to subvert the unwritten laws and chore shed traditions of the country, it {s more than. over incumbent on the Democ of tho whola country \to unite under their ablest and beat leaders to snve our institutions, Success in tho coming campaign is both our privilego and our duty. Union under wise teaders is triumph. To be worthy of victory now is to win it, 1o raneraey Of New York deplore tho df- vision in the ranks of tho party in tho Emptro Btate, which they could not provent and have been unablo to heal” without ssorifoing sett resi andthe Democratic cause. This division has resulted almost solely from the dotorminc? and persistent efforts of onc man to secure the Democratic nomination to the Presidancy, For this end bo has conspired and contrived to aot control of party organizitions, which he bas converted into personal machines and used in bighbanded and unscrupulous ways. In total disregard of the wishes of tho peoplo and. tho intorosta of the party, he puted and effected the combinn- ton which deteated the regular Domocracy in the City of New York in 1878; he foreed thonom- {nation of a candidate for Governor In 18; fa tho faco of thecarnest protest of the Democrat in the strongest Democratic county, whom tha Governor had abused, thus forcing Democrat who know the fnote and respected thoir prin ctples to organize an opnosicion which threv nearly 8,000 votes for an indepondent candidate It war Sainucl J. Tilden who defeated th Democracy of New York lnst fall ard gave the whole government of tho State to tho Republio nos. Ever since that humilinting defeat haa been plotting and working for the same on tightening his gitth on the party ormanization refusing to consider proposals’ for barmony, widening tho brench in the Democratic ranks, and Intimating through his agents that If he ib not chosen Captain ho will wreek tho ship, ‘The Domoorncy of the Emplro State protest ngainst his subversion of the principles and usages of tho party, and {ts total surrender to one man because ho has unknown resources of Wealth and cunning, and will use both to realixo his ambition. It ts not agninst a popular chulco that we object, but we protest agalnst tho at- tompt of one man to forestall public opinion, to jreoccupy the sittiation, to override tho mafority, and force himself upon the. party to its Main. We protest against tho degradation of Democratic organizations into machines for tho interests of one man and his personal fol- lowing. Tildenism 1s personallaro, which 1s false to Democracy and dangerous to the Ropublic. Wo insist that the four millions of Domocratio yoters in. thirty-cight States shall hhvo tho right and the privilese to choose for thomsclycs whoshall botholr candidates, ‘Tho Democracy of Niw York sond greeting to their fellaw-Domocrnts in avery State of tho Union.
