M. ‘At noon there was a tremendous pressure of delegates ‘and outsiders to obtain admission inio the hall. Those without tickets wore admitted into the galleries, which oon became crowded. There were some five hundred ef such outsiders. Many who were not entitled as dele gates obtaiced tickets as reporters, and inconvenienced the members of the prees. GK The programme wes slightly departed from, in this respect, that instead of haviog » temporary organization, ‘an je uaual, Peter Cagger, the Secretary of the State Cen- tral Committee, in calling the Convention to order, nomi- nated Horatio Seymour as permanent chairman. The Yeason of this was, probably, because there bad been go! ‘up a contest for Mr. Feirchild’s seat, who had been fixed ex by the softs as temporary chairmsn. The object being ‘eitained, the contestant was subsequently withdrawn. ‘This necessitated the change, bat the change was not yelished apy more than the original play. ‘Mr. Greene of Onondaga, moved an amendment, that ‘My. Lawrence of Queens, be appointed temporary chair- itare ‘was nitect vote. Tho herds wanted a temporary chairman, the softs a permanent one. fhe vote was taken and the amendment lost—syos 36, noes 64. The triumoh ‘Of the softs was loudly applauded. On this question no delegates whose seats were contested were allowed to “"ilijan F. Pardy of New York, the old “war horse” of democracy, claimed a right to vote. ‘The Chair notified him that his eeat was contested by Michael Simmons. c Mr. Purdy—I would like to see the man who would oon- fest the seat of Elijah F, Purdy in a Democratic Conven- fiom. (Laugbter.) I represent the Sixth Assembly dis- twist of New York. ‘The Chair called him to order. ‘Mr. Purdy~I wanttosee theman. (Leughter.) Call hnis name, and let me see him. A voice in the gallery—Show him up. (Laughter.) ‘The Chair understood that Mr. Simmons was not in the Convention. Mr. Purdy (mounting a form)—I ama delegate and Simmons is not. | present my credentials and ask that ‘Simmons’ name be called. Neither the contestant nor his aiternate is here, and neither will answer. (Applause.) Be then, amid Jaughter and cheers, proceeded to read his credentials. ‘The Chair called Mr. Purdy to order. Mr. Purdy—On what ground? ‘The Chair—Tha: the question is mot debatable. The se- creiary wiil call the name of Michael Simmons. ‘The name was called, but no answer made. (Cheers, and ebouts of “Hi, bi, bi.’”) Fernando Wood desired to say a word. Mr. Purdy insisted that he ha the floor. ‘The Chair ruled both gentiemen out of order. Mr. Purdy demanded that his name be called. Mr. Wood only desired to explaia why Simmons was not im the hal, Simmons wre the alternate of the distric; of which James Lynol wee the delegate, Simmons war mot bere because no tickets of aimiesion had been issued to alternates, sad he bad obtained none, but Simmons ‘would be bore whon the Convention met again. ‘The Chair remarked that tickets were issued to alter. gates where the principals were no: present. Mar. Wood repliod that as regards the delogation which he represented, not a single alternate hai bade ticke leoned to him, and alternates were now in the street, ex. cluded from admission to the ba)!, while the hall was filed with strangers. Mr, Sickles desired to get ins word, but the Chair de- ared him out of order, and ruled that Mr. Purdy’s sont was not contested. (Loud cheers, and a running fire of “Hi, bi, hi’s.””) Gideon J. Tucker wanted to follow suit with Purdy, but be was “snuffed out” by his coniestent rising and de- caring himself the individual. Peter Caggor did a malicious thing im deputing Fer- mando Wood as one of the delegates to conduct Mr. Sey- mour to the chair. It created a good doal of fun in the Convention. Mr. Wood performed the disagreeable duty with fortitude.

After tpe moeting of the Convention in the evening, Mr Fervando Wood rore to & question of privilege. He ssid ‘that, in bebaif of the delegation from the city of New York, he had the honor to present a communicetion. Mr. T. 0. Field, of New York, rose and called Wool order. ‘Mr. Wood—i desire to present to this Convention a pro- teat, and after reading it to the committe wo desire to withdraer and have po further participation in these pro ceedings. My question of privilege is that i may, as the first business to-night, have the poor privilege of present ing @ protest and of withdrawing. Mr, Field—Under the ruling of the Chair to day the gon- tletan is not a delegate, and cannot adaress ihe Conven. Ucn. A committee was appointed to inveatigate the claims of contestants from New York, and to that committee the gentleman ehould have presented his com muniestion Be would have taken if into consiteration.

Whether the Convention would listen to the reading of the report now was for the body to ditermine; iu: the «hal- would receive it, Mr, Wood—It is not my purpose toenter into any de- Date, but merely to presen’ ibis paper. I have no motion or gpeech to mske, J merely desire the poor privilege in the Democratic Convention of presenting a paper stating the reasons which govern us in the impostant step we are about to take. I regret, but sm no} surprised that the gentlemen claiming a sest from the Fiftecn’h wird of the city of New York (Mr Field) should see proper to inter- pose any objection to a proceeding that gives him no fur- ther trouble in taking his seat here. I purpose to relieve the Convention of apy further consideration of the New York question, smd I do hope that the Chair and this Convention will at least allow us this privilege if no oth:r, (Cheers.) Under the decision of the Uhair I will read the protes’, and w. will’tten re- tire. Elijah F.

A Voice-—Tho Chair bas already decided that. Mr. Purdy contended that ij was unususl to receives document of thit kind, If the Chiie decided it in order be would move to lay it on the table. He was surpriecd ‘thatthe ex-Mayor of the city of New York, versed tn parliamentary ueages end the forms of couventiuns, should ask to present such a paper at this stege, After the committee ehou'd bave reported, then th» paper m‘ght be received and deposed of. The President repeated the decision be had before made. Mr. Howard, of Suffulk, wente? to know by what right Mr. Field spoke bere, hie seat being contested’ Mr. Field—As much right as your friend Wood has. (Lavghter). Mr. Howard could not eee why Mr. Purdy sbould iguore the proposition of bis friend Wood, He conten ‘-d that the proporition was in order. Mr. Field rose to a question of order. The Chair would not recogniee him, his seat betng contested. Mr. Field--I yield to the same rule which closes the lips of my friend Wood. If the Chair decides tha: no one can address the Conven‘ion or read a paper, I take my seat with pleasure. ‘Mr. Hart—Must not the gentleman (Mr. Wood) estab eh bis right toaseatin the Convention before he can raise a question of privilege? ‘The Chair repested the decision he had alresdy made. Mr. Mandeville, of Ontario, in order to facilitate busiv ‘negs, moved that the paper be read. Mr. Purdy gave notice thet if the paper was received, he should move to 1s) it on the table. Mr. Wood—Allow me to remind the Cosir that it hae al- ready decided that the p»per shal) bs received. The oniy question now is as to whether it ebel! be read. The Chatr so devide?, Mr. Wood—Then I un ‘erstand the piper ie now in the possession of (he Convention.

Lawrence, of Queens, for temporary chairman. (Cheers.) Dr. Hown1t, of Suffolk, in se-:onding the motion, said he did go heartily, because it was customary to appoint temporary chairman. Tellers being demanded, the question was pul end de- clared carried. Mr. Cacomn moved that Mr. Beach, of Ooondaga, and Mr. Barton, of Tioga, bs appointed tellers. The motion was carried. ‘W. M.
