The department was apprised of this conduct of Spotted Tall, and to-day Secretary Schurz sent a dispatch to him, saying that Captain Pratt must not keep an Interpreter that he objected to; that if Spotted Tall did not want his children educated he could take them away; that he must not do anything that will fojure the school, and that it was no way for htin to behave to make threats what he would do. It 1s not thought that Spot- ted Tail will carry out his threat and take his children away, a3 he will have to doso at his Own expense,which will amount to two or three hundred dollars.

Senator Conkling replied: “1 will help as much as the administration will help.” From the manner in waleh this was sald the gentleman got the decided impression that if the administration saw ft to rescind the order about office holders taking an active part in (he political canvass, Senator Co: would exert himself to procure Garfleld’s electiou, but that otherwise he would take no active part in the campaign.

The gal- leries ure two-thirds full. The weather is warm | and sultry. It is understood that the committee on credentials will report immediately after permanent organization 1s effected. ‘The plat- form committee are still at work on their resc- lutions. The usual demonstrations of applause Were made as prominent gentlemen came tn and when the banners of the Kandall and other political clubs passed up the aisles. The fact is unmistakabie, however, that there is here much less of this sort of outside pressure for ind!- vidual candidates than there was at Chicago. A Woman Suffrage Circular. A circular of the National Woman Sut rare Association was distributed throagh the hall, signed by Mrs. Gage as chairman, Susan B, Anthony as vice president, Mrs. Spencer, cor- responding secretary; Mrs. Sheldon, recording etary; M rd, treasurer, and a vice pres It demands the recognition of women’s rights and insertion in the platform of a plank pledging the demo- cratic party to use all its powers to secure to the women of the nation protection tn the exer- cise of their right of suffrage. The woman’s suffrage representatives were honored with ap- Plause from the audience as they took their seats. After a brilliant voluntary on the organ the military band played various nationai and oper- atic airs. Yankee Doodle alonée seemed to arouse the audience. The Opening Prayer. The convention was cailed to order at 10:40 oetsee rene all the delegates appeared to be on hand. Prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Charles Tay- lor of the Scott, Street Methodist Episcopal Church of Covington, Ky. He prayed for har- mony und the yielding of all personai prefer- ences to the general welfare. Preliminary Business. On motion, the reading of the minutes of yes- terday was dispensed with. Mr. Siantenberg, of Indiana, moved a resol- tion that the surviving soldiers of tie Mexican war and their widows and orphans should be put, by Congress, on the same footing a3 the soldiers of 1 Reterred to the platform com- mnittee. The chair announced that the first business ta order was the report of tye committee on cre- dentisis, and asked if it was ready to report, ‘There was an Interval of several minutes bet: there was any response. Meantime the chair ordercd read a telegram from Renayles Basin, New York: “Bonfire ready to be lighted, with three cheers for democratic nominee,’ (Laughter and applause. Permanent Organization.

The committee further report that they have duly considered the memorial in relation to the representation to the District of Columbia and of the territories and have heard the arguments of the memoralists, and respectfully commend the following resolution: “Resolved, That two delegates from the Dis- trict of Coinmbia and two delegates from each of the territories be admitted to the convention and have the right to participate in debate and every other rigiit and privilege enjoyeday tae delegates from the states, excepting only tie Tight to vote.” When the report had been read Mr. Young, of Georgia, as a question of privilege, demanded to be permitted to present the report of the committee on credentials. The chair said the report on permanent organization was before the house, and asked the convention’s will. Mr. Martin moved that his report be adopted and on that asked the previous question, which he subsequently withdrew, Mr. Jefirles, Of Louisiana, moved to postpone further proceedings on the report on permanent organization until the conveation had recefved rr Cog on the credentials committee's report. 0) Report ef the Committee on Creden- le Mr. Young, of Georgia, as chairman, present ed the report of the committee on cr lentials, as follow Massachusett’s—Two delegations are present from the state of Massachusetts. They are known 4s the Faneuil hall delegation and the other as the Mechantes’ hall convention. By Joint request made by the delegation to the committee of credentials, we earnestly recom- mend that both delegations be admitted to Seats in the convention, the united delegation to cast the vote to which the state 1s entitled. {Applause} Pennsylvania—In the case of the contesting delegations from the 26th congres- sional district Of Pengsylvania we report that the sitting delegates are entitled to retain their Seats aS members of the convention. New Yerk—The committee has carefully examined all the evidence brought before it bearing on the contested case from the state of New York. It carefully and patiently considered all the facts In the contest and weighed the evidence presented by both sides, and by singularly ‘Unanimous vote, it allows the sitting members {to retain their seats. [General si piaiee, except trom the Tammany benches.) With these ex- os there was no contest before the com- mittee, and we herewith submit the list of dele- gates duly entitled to seats. A Minority Report to Give Kelley Delegates 20 Votes, Mr. Carroll, of Kansas, presented report. It was proj to have the reading clerk read {t, but the chair said the gentleman Dane Should have his own way about it. ‘Applause. Air.

That such action united the party in the state of New York @ad eventn- ated tn the election of a democratic President. We tLeve that a similar course at this time will result in a kindred success and we. there- fore. recommend the adoption of the following resolution: Resolved, That the Faulkner branch of the democratic delegation from the state of New York be allowed to cast 50 votes in this conven- tion and that the Shakespeare Hall democracy be allowed to cast 20 votes in such convention, and that each of the satd divisions shall deter- mine Sts methods of counting such votes. Mr. Young demanded the previous question, Stating that the committee had spent all night On this work, and he believed had done it weil. Previous Question on the Majority Report. The previous question was seconded, ordered and the roll was called. When Alabama was called it was not ready, and an interval was allowea for consultation, Mr. Young inquired whether under the rule Of the House of Representatives there would not be an hour for debate after the previous question was ordered. The chatr replied that the convention had adopted the rules of the last convention, when only five minutes debate was allowed after an order of the previous question. ‘The roll call proceeded with Alabama, 5 aye, 15 no; Arkansas, 12 aye; California, 7 aye, 5 n0: Colorado, 4 aye, 6 no; Connecticut, 12 aye; Del- aware, 6 aye; Florida. 2 aye, 6 no; Georgia, 16 aye, 24 BO; Indiana, 19 aye, 3 no; Kansas, 10 ‘no; ye, 3 no; Loutstana, 16 no; Maine, 16.no; Massachusetts, 14 aye, no; Minnesota, 10 no: url, 20 aye, 10 no; aye, 5’ no; Hiinots, ; Iowa, N es aye; New Hamp- shire, 10 Jersey, S aye, 10 no; New York decli to vote, and the chair putting the question it was exeused: aye, 14 10; Ohfo, 25 aye, 19 Oregon, 6 aye; 23" aye, 12 no; Rhode TSland. a, 14 no; Tennessee, 2 aye Vermont, $ aye, no; West Virginia, 5 aye, 4 Wisconsin, 20 “no. "Total—yeas, So the main question was ordered North Carolina, 6 Mr. Young said under the rules of the house there was one hour for debate, of which he pro- Posed two-thirds be given to’ the contestants and ther friends. {Applau Loud cries ot “Platform, form,” caused Mr. Young t and he proposed to give forty” 1 man who would be suggested by Mr. New York, reserving his own twenty minutes to reply. [Applause and hisses} is for Kellys The chair stated that he understood it to be the wish of the contestants to be represented by Mr. Kelley, and asked that he be accorded that privilege. [Hisses and cries of “yes,” yes.) Fina the chair announced that le heard bo objection, and invited Mr. Kelly to the Platform. Mr. Kelly not being tn the hall, the sergeant-at-arms was Instructed to escort any- toay to the platform whom the New York con- testants should indicate, Mr. Miller in Behalf of Tammany. In response George W. Miller, of Albany. came forward and was greeted with applause. He hoped the right of free speech would not be interrupted for a moment by any man in whose veins flows a drop of democratic blood. {Cheers.] ‘The contestants came here with the same earnest desire as animated all the dele- gates in this hall. [Applause.] They came With no fire-brand, but to present an olive branch with a view to victorious suecess, A reference to the name of Keily was gfeeted with applause, and a storm of hisses renewed when the speaker declared that he had no supe- Morin integrity and devotion to democratic principles and party. He proceeded to argue the importance of giving the Tammany men some representation in this body as a means of securing unity and success. Only fifteen of the contestants are from New York, and the re- mainder of them represented over 40,000 demo- frats scattered all over the state, and number- ing at least one-tifth of the democratic vote in said state. Speaking for the contestants from the rural districts he said they Intended to sup- port whoeyer should be made the candidates of this convéhtion. They were all anxions only for such proceeding here as shall tend best tu promote and tnsure a great triumph. [Ap- plause.] But deprive the re« & and ille of thetr leaders, and, like soldiers in ts.» fleld, there was danger that they would be demoralized and skwk away frorm the fight. But if the cen- vention would observe ‘the democratic precedents, and give the contestants an opportunity to participate tn the pro Ceecings, he could assure them that the democracy would carry the state of New York. {Applause.] He proceeded to urge that the sit. Ung delegates here were the representatives of machine politics, against which public senti- quent was protesting In the democratic as well as the republican party. Unless some compro- mise of this question should be made here it Would be Impossible to prevent the running ot two democratic electoral tickets in New York, ake the pla friends could net control this result, try as they light, unless this convention shouid give them the twenty seats recommended by the minority report. Give them these and they could draw cut and make e| ve the magnificent demo- cratic yote ot New York, which would secure a victory next autumn, Amasa J. Parker on the Same Side. Amasa J. Parker, announced by the chatrinan as a Sterling old democrat, followed for the con- testants. Hesaid the contestants represented the democracy of all the rival district—at least 350,000 of the democrats of that state—who de- manded to be heard here. He came in the spirit ot harmony, with a great desire that the wis- dom and patriotism of this convention should unite the party and redeem the national govern- ment. He and his associates from the rural dis- tricts should @upport whatever tcket should be bamed here. [Applause.) He voted for Gover. nor Robinson. {Applause.) The ositestants represent then much more than the 40,000 Tam. many vote in New York city, or the 70,000 votes cast for Kelly for governor. ‘There was no time here to discuss in detail the merits ot this contest, but he appealed to the precedents of democratic conventions, and urged that that of 1556 be followed now in its spirit. Then halt the vote of New York was given to the contest- ants. They asked now only 20 of tne 70 votes. it the convention desired them to join them in the work of redeeming the country with the hope of success, he implored them’ to give the contestants a chance so to do. Mr. Hubbard in Favor of the Mi- nority Report. Mr. Hubbard, of Texas, sustained the minori- ty report. He was not here representing any faction {n the party, but only a great state which the census would soon show had two million people. Her delegates came here pre pared to vote for Samuel J. Tilden, [great ap- plause,} or aby other of the names to be pre- Sented here whom the party represented here should choose as standard bearers. He rejoiced that the south was solid for the democratic party, (applause,] but _he presented himseif as the advocate of compromise looking to success. He did not question the regularity of the New York sitting members, They may be so regular Uhat they bend backwards, (laughter,) but they tight. by stubbornness find their Blucher ih New York. [Applause.] They must not —— the necessities of the siiuation in New York, New Jersey and elsewhere. [Applause.] ‘They Must be wise and not technical merely, if they hoped to win. Mere regularity in quotation marks Was not the question, but what is wise and best calculated to advance the democratic party and its principles. They wanted votesand Mnust avail of the means calculated to obtain them. The issue is one broader than New ork—the destiny of this country, general re- form, the Itberties of the state and the citizen, all these are involved in this small issue now before this body. If New Yorkers here could not unite among themselves then he called upon the convention to put up baans and jolu them in wedlock and swear to union for the sake of the common cause. Let the demo. cratic party set its foot on the seeds of discord ey, ‘be. Massachusetts had set- ed its own grievances by compromise. If New Mr, Wetlowsin Eevee ot the Majori- Jobn R. Fellows, of New York, next the report. The cquetiige was aa of New York Syraci at which Kelly and his friends se- ceded. Fellows proceeded with an argumenta- tive statement to show that there was no paral- Jel between the present situation and the pr2- cedent of 1856, lo which reference had been made. The bolt at Syracuse was upon a candi- date, and nothing else. The devision in 1S56 ‘Was upon a clear question of principie and cyn- viction. The Tammany men at Syracuse bolted the nomination and went out and nominated John Kelly and defeated the democratic party. ‘They now come here over the slaughtered boty of the democratic party and insult you by ask- ing Tecognition at your hands. (Applause j John Kelly bad declared before the ¢1 als last night with all the force of language at his command that if you shall dare to nominate a certain man he and his friends will bolt again. (Cries of “Turn him out!” and confusion.} Again, in front of a hotel here, he said that “It you nominate Samuel J. Tilden he and his friends will run a separate electoral ticket.” {A voice in the galleries, ‘So they well!” Laugh- ter and applause. ] The gal leries speak more plainly than men upon this platform, but out of the mouths of babes and fools, we shall arrive at correct con- clusions. (A voice.—* You supported Tweed.” Cries of “Put him out! Put him out!”) In con- clusion, Task, dare you deny to the sovereign state of New York the right you so prondly and justly demand for yourselves? (Ciférs.) Dare you violate her person and trample her sover- elgnty in the dust? For the whole question is Whether you will give the state of New York the right to decide her own representation or take that decision as picked up on the streets of Cincinnati or as tiven by delegates from sister states. He Screy t© South Carolina and other southern delegations as advocates of states rights, tostand by the principle involved. ‘The Individual delegates sitting here from York were of secondary importa: but beware how you smite the face of the queen state of the nerth. [Applause:} Mr. Westbrook for Ri t the Minority rk. occupied five reroaining to the ininority. It made no aifference what had caused the splitin New York, but it exists. United we siand divided We fall, and the real question Is how can we best secure union and victory. He hoped such action would be had here as would secure to the party Tammany hall's 50,000 trusty votes, So necessary to success.
