THE PLATFORM AND NOMINEES. ‘ ether from Mr. Augustus Schell, who was on the stage, Stating that the two calls were not conflicting, and resom- mending Mr. Greeg to call tho Convention to order. Mr. Green was greeted with prolonged and hearty applause when he made his well choven remarks. The Convention then appointed a Committee on Con- ‘ested Seats. A] but two are entirely amicable. Benry S. Randall, of Cortland, is to be permauent Chair- man. The attendance is unusually respectable, and the meet- wg orderly.

The Convention has received intelligence of the removal of Simon B. Jewett, United States Marshal for the North- ern District of New York. James B.
