The idea’ ’ of a convention assembling without Knowing Ww! | 19 the candidate or the majority really 4s is certaiy | \1y a novel one, and the old wire-pullers, accustome 4 to the ways and means resorted to in past yearé , $ produce harmonious action all around, are Datur | ajjy rather astounded at the innovation. The fact‘! eis well, however, for the independence ‘ofthe v@ rious candidates; but whether the slate ‘vork WI 11 not come into play before the wind-up is quest} or{ which to-morrow alone can decide, NOTHING FIXED, Of cc vw fae every delegate just now has an idea that t? ii aga are sure for this particular favorite for ‘this a) 1¢{ that place on the ticket, which may be the case! is Sar as the minor positions are concerned; but ¥ tian undentabdle fact that not one delegate in f ve,,in either Convention, as yet can tell with any ce Heaney who the candidate for Governor will be. 1twas in this pleasant mood of glorious un. cel ta'mty that the two Conventions met this afl emaoon and whiled away the entire day 40. tik. and consultations which had noth- _ ¥og , whatever to do with the question ‘who the head mar on the ticket should be. aif ;rent turn and somebody must be nominated, lat ie or no slate, i FALSE HOPES. 4 {nd in the meantime the workers for the various Candidates will console themselves in the belief Sraat each one of the three stands as good a chance as competitor. This evening Beach has loomed up im greater prominence than ever, and it is conf- Gently asserted by his friends that he will go into the Convention with fifty votes pledged for him, and this withont the assistance of the Kings county delegation, who will vote for him solid af he is hard pushed by Kiernan and Schell. Kiernan is not so strong as he was Jast night, and the Schell people claim to have ‘taken several votes away from him. However this may be, it { pretty certain that the fight is gradu- ally narrowing down between Beach and Kernan, ‘with the prospect of the nomination of Schell should the supporters of the other two candidates be too evenly divided to admit of a break of either party from one to the support of the other, WILL CHURCH RUN? There are those, however, who still believe that Church will be dragged into the contest, and be nominated, whether he likes it or not. Kernan’s friends claim that the Chief Justice cannot at this late hour become a candidate without consent of Kernan, inasmuch as he has already pledged his ‘Bupport to the Utica favorite, while declaring he m= vould not be a candidate under any cir- @ omstances. On the other hand it ts contended Ki crnan will be entirely satisfied if the Judge co, 2S8ents to run and will willingly withdraw from the field. At anyrate, Ihave it from a reliable source tha: ‘One ofthe most prominent delegates in the Con- ven, ‘lon will nominate Church to-morrow, and in in, % 80 he will be able to give positive assur- ancea that the Judge will not decline the nomina- tion, , Provided it is made by both Conventions t a contest with the other candidates. The \ant Governorship is yet an open question. neeting of the two conference committees, rnoon, quite a lively discussion ensued as rtition of places on the ticket, and it has ‘t that the liberals have a hankering a/tcr essman at large, and don’t care particu- t having the Lieutenant Governor.

When, however, it was discovered that the five members of the committee were all members of the State Central Committee, and that two of them were not members of the Convention at all, the nigger became visible to everybody. The thing had been done, however, and was beyond remedy, ‘The audacity with which the names were brought forward secured Tilden’s success; but the majorit, ‘of the delegates do not seem te relish the snul by which they were told they knew'so little about their business that it required the assistance of outsiders to make the crooked ways straight. NO FUN IN THE EVENING, The evening session of the Convention was bat- ren of interest, and time hung 80 heayily upon the hands of the delegates that a glee club was called in to amuse them while they were choosing their representatives from their respective Congressional districts, whose duty it will be to present names of Presidential electors in common with the committee appointed by the other Convention. While the con- sultation as to the Congressional Representatives was at its height General Gregg, a delegate to thd Liberal Convention, entered, and informed the democrats that the republicans had selected their Committee on Electors. The Convention rose en masse as the General entered, ana he was received with loud cheers. After singing the “Star Spangled Banner” and joining in the chorus of other popular songs by a soloist, who was called to the platform for the purpose, an adjournment till to-morrow took place. The liberal republicans assembled at Shakspeare Hall, That it should be respectable in point of numbers is natural, since itis composed of three delegates from each Assembly district. This ts, however, not its only merit. A former delegate of republican conventions now attendant upon this one remarked to me last evening, “I observe among the delegates here a large majority of the more prominent and influential men of the republican party I have been accus- tomed to meet at convention. Indeed, in mixing among the delegates, I scarce realize any change.” The sea of upturned faces which resented itselfas the body was called to order ‘ully justified the remark. On the right of the stage, in a convenicnt Eton to perform the part allotted to him, stood the beral SENA’ REUBEN E. FENTON, his face calm and placid with the satisfaction ro- sulting from the array of character and intelligence before him ready to support him in the important and risky position he has assumed, ‘othe right of the centre sat Freeman J. Fithian, 01 New York, willing to ald the action of his chief. Scattered through the au- dience we! observable the well-known faces of Mr. Dewitt ©, Littlejohn, of Oswego; Mr. Channcey M. Depew, of New York; Milo Goodrich, Member of Congress, of Tompkins; A. M. Bliss, of Brooklyn; Waldo Hutchins, of New York; 0. H. Sherrill, ex-Canal Commissioner; Major General C, K. Graham, Henry A. Barnum, Charles Hughes and a host of others with names familiar as household words throughout the State. It had been settled during the past twenty-four hours that a conference committee should be appointed immediately follow- ing the temporary organization to confer witha similar committee from the Democratic Convention |, holding its sessions at Wieting Hall, and that the latter would nominate for the larger portion of the candidates to be placed before the people at the forthcoming State election, HOW TIINGS LOOKED, For this reason public interest was mostly concentrated upon the democrats, and the gallery of Shakspeare Hall, devoted to the spectators, pre- sented a beggarly array. The main boas of the hall was, however, comfortably filled by the delegates. No ornamentation was observable in the room, only ntil a later hour in the afternoon, when the por- raits of the national liberal candidates were placed upon the right and left of the stage. Mr. John Cochrane called the Convention to ordér, and prayer ‘was offered by the Rev. Mr. Bailey, a young man of leasing address, who intimated to the fumighty That the Convention had met for the advancement of reform and asked his blessing upon the delibera- tions, At this a radical local paper, has naturally taken umbrage, and states that the prayer was quite in the nature of a stump speech, CRITICISM ON COCHRANE. ‘The npee of Mg Cochrane which followed, while characterize oy, nothing new, was ener- getic and eloquent. He called attention to the Hincinnat! Convention, called in the interest of re- rm, and to its success in arousing the masses throughout the various sections, and paid an elo- quent tribute to the candidates nominated, whose names were received with thunders of applause. The magnanimity of the demo- crates at jaltimore was also feelingly al- luded to, and met with a hearty response from hands and feet of the Convention, the mem- bers of which had evidently to be on the best pos- atble terms with their old antagonists. In referring to the liberal republican party throughout the State he stated there was @ local organiza- tion in each one of the sixty counties, and from the 128 Assembly districts full delegations were here present. le closed with a com- Be to the high character and inflnence of the ody before him, which was received in silent but evident acquiescence, In accordance with the un- derstood programme Mr. T. G. Younglove, of Sa- rat ‘was made temporary chairman and was conducted to the chair amia usual demonstrations, which gubsiding he proceeded to read a written speech which referred to THE WAR AND THE ISSUES GROWING OUT OF IT, now passed, and urged the necessity of fraterniza- tion, which now seems to be the watchword, He spoke ofthe want of confidence throughout the South in the good intentions of the government, and the necessity of restoring this, and convincin, the people there that their interest is regarde: as identical with our own. This Conven- he said, is called in the interest of reform. No _ rings,, no_ corruption, no personal aggrandizement. An allusion to the neces- sity of civil service reform was received with much enthusiasm. Following the appointment of secre- tary the roll was called. As tl is the first repre- sentative body of Iiberal republicans ‘om all parts of the State since the disrup- tion, the roll attracted unusual anxiety and atten-: tion, and as the names of those heretofore more prominently connected with the republican party were call enthusiastic and long-continued cheers followed. Naturally, the name of Fenton attracted the most attention, and the genial face of the tall Senator glowed with pleasure at this token of approval of his action and present politi- cal coalition. There was evident satisfaction at the termination of the roll on the part of the entire Convention at the moral _ support which the presence of one afforded the other. A motion was made for a Committee on Creden- tiale, which was withdrawn, as the roll showed with full delegations ng contested seats. On aris- ing to offer a resolution for a Committee of Con- ference Mr. Fenton was greeted with three hearty cheers, the Convention springing to its feet for that purpose. The resolution called for a committee of one from each Judicial district, and seemed inocu- ous enough, but for some reason HORRID VISIONS secmed to fit across the minds of some of the country delegations, and Mr. Flowers, of Madison, with much apparent feeling, moved that the com- mittee consist of two from each Judicial district, A sharp debate followed, in which it was stated that the democrats were to have two and we ought to have two, and fears seemed to be entertained that a small commit- ee, and through that the Convention, was ikely to be swallowed up in the insatiate maw of democracy. Considerable interest was aroused by the first appearance of Isaac F. Hunter, a yellow delegate, from New York, who thought there ought to be two, and said something abou the candidatte in connection with honesty, which, though not perti- nent, caused much applause. Mr. Fithian defended the resolution in its original state; and Mr. Fenton, rising to expiain, stated that NO FORMAL ARRANGEMENT had been made, but it was understood the two committees were to be appointed. He would not object tothe change, if such was the sense of the Convention, but he preferred the original resolution, The amendment was then withdrawn and an eifort made to postpone matters not after permanent organization; but the question recurring on the — original resolution, it passed. Several resolutions were of- fered to lie on the table until after permanent organization, among them one for @ committee on Tesolutions, The Chairman announced the committees on per- i" it organization and on conference, when thie Convention took a recess until four o'clock. at four P. M. the Convention again assembled, The adjournment of the Democratic Convention untif pe caused the galleries to be filled by vialt- ors and citizens, and the hall presented a much more animated appearance than in the morning. Upon calling the Convention to order the Chairman svated that neither the Committee on Conference nor the permanent organization wax! ready to report, and asked the pleasure of the Corpvention, A motion was made to adjourn, fol lowed by loud cries of “No, no,” and “Let as have @ speech,” and immediately calls for prominent speaken’ re! ded through the hail, but no one responded. If answer to a cail for himself, John Cochrane finally aoe and called the attention of the Gonvetion fo the fact that they had come together for the ton of important business, and the proper time ~ . POW A GLORIVICATION was after that business had heen performed, ana renewed the motion v0 adjourn until seven o'clock, which the Chairman acelared carried. The mem- bers were, however, not (lsposed to separate, so Chey resolved themselves info @ mass meeting, ap- posting Cockrane to preside, A Mr. Par Ld was Colles" UROR LOT @ DR, BDI. HLT SLO Dlasvorm, requested the members to rise and join him in ein BROWN CHORUS TO A GREELEY CAMPAIGN SONG. ‘This was done with much enthusiasm and more | melody than = have been anticipated, Thr 4¢ hearty cheers for Greeley and Brown follo- gq, Efforts to obtain a speaker were futile "4th the name of Isaac H. Hunter, the yellow dele: New York, was called, when, much promptitude took the “yiatform. He commenced in an easy, unem? «rrassed manner, thanking the meeting for it, “kindness and ex- pressed an opinion that the time had arrived for onest men and honest ‘principles to come to the surface. He associate the term honesty with Mr. wreenes, and thougic the march of that gentleman to ~ White House would rival Sherman's march to the sea, o” “NOVEMBER PREDICTION. ‘The November election would kill off all the radi- eal leaders and leave the rank and file fo enjoy the blessings of a good government. He mentioned many prominent colored men who were support- ing the liberal ticket, and expressed his opmion that many of the colored people would vote it. He referred to General Dix as a gentleman some time since deceased, whose friends had forgotten to place pennies on his eyes, which caused much laughter. This satisied the desire for speech-listen- ing, and a motion to adjourn prevailed, "the Convention came together at seven cine ursuant to adjournment. In answer to a call Ror @ report of committees, Mr. Fenton, from the Conference Committee, stated that a very harmonious meeting had been held, but he was not yet ready to report upon all the Hnapoxsecrs questions Which had arisen, and stated that an arrangement had been proposed, by which the Conventions should appoint a committee of one from each Congressional trict, to act to- ether for the appointment of an electoral ticket. This action met with the approval of the Conven- tion, and the respective delegations were au- thorized to make their selection of a member for this committee. CONSIDERABLE FEELING was manifested following the statement that the Committee on Permanent Organization was not ready to report, but the attention of the Confer- ence being called to the delay which this report. would inyolve, being incompatible with the feeling of the Convention on the subject of the electoral ticket, a@ motion to adjourn prevailed. | It was stated in the Convention that the report of the Committee on Permanent Organization is already perfected, and that Hon. Chauncey M. Depew is chairman, which is @ change from the original programme, which gave the place to Littlejohn, Another Conferential Meeting. Syracuse, Sept. 7—Midnignt. ‘The Conference Committees on the partition of Place held another meeting to-night; but, after a Prolonged session, adjourned until to-morrow morning without coming to any definite conclusion. ‘They will meet again to-morrow morning, at eight o’clock, when it is believed a general agree- ment will be arrived at. It isrumored that many of the republicans are willing to let the democrats have all the places on the State ticket, provided they get the Congressman at large, ‘and that two members of the Democratic Committee are willing to concede the Congressman, ‘There was an im- mense demonstration by the liberalsin the city to-night, consisting of a torchlight procession, bands of music, white-coated battalions, &c, The Marshals were ex-Judge Comstock and ex-Goy- ernor Alvord. THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. Syracuse, Sept. 4, 1872, The Democratic State Convention met in the Wieting Opera House at twelve o’clock noon, and ‘was called to order at fifteen minutes before one o’clock by Mr, Samuel J, Tilden, Chairman of the State Central Committee. MR. TILDEN'S REMARES, ‘Mr. TILDEN spoke as follows :— Denecates 10 THe Democratic State ConvENtion—The antagonisms which clyil war has created between the Kindred populations Of our country must be closed up now forever. (Applause.) Until we can accomplish that result how can we have good government anywhere? So long ng in every town and in every county and in ever State the question ig not whether men are qualifies whether they are competent, whether they are hon- eat, whether they are inithiul to, the pegple, but What they think about something going on a thotsand mnligs distant, how ean we have good government in New York or anywhere in the North Iwenty years ever: election has turned, not on questions incident to our sell. government, but on questions that affect the internal Affairs of these communities—the question of slavery, the quostion of war, the question of reconstruction—aiid if to-day the abuses ot corruption and, wrong pervade every part of our communities, if there is a condition of things on which good men beyih to despatr of selfegovern- ment, I tell you, fellow citizens, it is because for twenty yours wo have given no ‘attention to our own Aflulrs, but we have been attending to distant interests and distant questions.

What is the con- Ajtion there? Tsay to-day, in the face of Heaven and hefore all mankind, that the carpet-bag governments are infl- nitely worse than Tweed’s government of the city of New York. (Applause.) If I dared to invite the democracy and fo lead them to overthrow that government, why should not stand here t to invite them to the glorious old standard that waves for equal rights and just government over all the Continent of America. Applause.) Whil the robberies in the city ot New York ina count some twenty millions, the robberies in these bag governments of the South count two hundred mil- Hons. "For every dollar that has been stolen among is and against which you and I and every democrat in the land raised his indignant protest—I say that for every such dollar five and perhaps ten has heen stolen by theso earpet-bag governments of the South, Aye, my’ fellow democrats, the great metropolis, may, pethaps, bear the loss of twenty millions; but how can the people of the South, impoverished by civil war, blighted in their indus- try, crushed in their property—how can they stand the ciidrmous robberies of the governments that are set over them? If this be a true ang just picture of the situation— and can any man deny it?’ does any man deny itr—why docs not the admmistration of General Grant rectify hational wrong, a national crime, public evil, that all humanity for redress? Fellow citizens, cannot rectify it. He dependsupon the men overnment for votes, as they depend upon him for |, or rather immoral, support for their systems of government. General Grant—and I would not tear a leaf from the chaplet with which a grateful country has adorned his brow for military services—Gen- ¢ral Grant doubtless 1s @ military hero, but he cannot amputate the leg of his own political body. If the Knite and cautery are necessary the people must cali in B urgeon to apply the proper remedy. (Applause) Fellow citizens, a change in the government at Washing- ton is necessary not only for safety, for justice, for eace, for reconciliation in the South, butit ts necessary jor refortn In the federal government. It {s necessary for good admintstration and Just government in the North as Well as inthe South, It is for that change, without per- gonal enmity, without passion, without injustice or wrong ; itis fora change in the iederal administration that the Masses of the democracy are today moving all through the great State of New York and througtout the States of ie X . 1 know it is said that the gentler as mn applause)—falls to represent certain democratic ol candidate at the Cincinnatl Conv: ideas ‘the historic past and certain other democratic ideas that are finding itselt unable, from the prejudice and the passions ‘et in the remote future.

It is responsible for nothing that was done there—for nothing that was omitted—but it sees, contemplating the broad field of the American Con- tinent, that atlast there is « portion of the republican party that finds the instinct of the old ideas of good goy- ernment moving in its bosom and Impelling to separate from theradicals, the abusos. the wrongs and dangers through which’ the couitry is being rapidly i Fy ee ditt on controls | Mts na: Jininistration, with fund | generously—not principle, not on of of hor ithout any compact, and withont any coall- tion—alone it stands in the consciousness of its history, and with a full beliefin itsown future. It stands on this oceasion to do nothing for itself, but to give victory to that portion of the republican party that best represents the interests and the needs of the country. (Applause.) Having been consulted myself, but without any power t bindanybody anterior to the Cincinnati Convention, advised that there should be no LE oy upon that republican ticket. I advised that no_ selfish interest, and no selfish object should mingle with the Ficat duty of sacrifice and effort for our country, that lay efore the three millions of voters which constitute the democratic party. Aaplee) But if the republican party or any portion of that party felt Itself able to begin @ movement that should result in better administration and bet ernment it was our duty, without reference to. comb: mM, without reference to any plan or purpose of the ure, to bid God contribute this ‘mass of voters, who All danger, through all peril, through, all trial, tor what they believed to be wise and right for our country. (Applause). I hear it said that there are ideas of demo- cratic pol tic Kovernment which are not and which cangot be by Mr. Greeley. Is it not true that at the vonvention, which was formed before anybody had any idea of who would be the candidate, they prepared a platform that was supposed to be ihe wisest and with any violation that they went for every traditional glory ot the democracy to uph id, and that to- day, atter the evils and the calamities of four years of civil war, we are within reach of attaining?

GextiemeN oF tHe Convention—For this high mark of your confidence and favor I am, 1 Assure yoil, profoundly grateful. I accept’ it, not as ‘a ‘compliment to myself’ personally, nor Pot solely nea compliment to the gallant county Which have the honor to represent in this Convention; but I aceept itrather as an evidence that in the, trying ordeal now impending the gallant chieftains of the ‘party have determined to call to the tront the young men of the State of New York. | (Applause,) And now, venerable chieftains, as you have complimented us | in your | councils, I assure that this contest we will prove no laggards in the field. (Applause.)

Now, we propose to dis- miss ‘this administration and these servile mintons, Yes, my democratic friends, we have invaded the office of the New York 7riune,and we have taken Horace Greele for our standard bearer. (Enthusiastic applause), We know him to have been a formidable partisan in the party, but we believe he 4s an honest man, and will prove'a statesman and patriot in the future. (applause). ut if We corr, we err in an anxious and earnest desire to serve our country’s intorest, and we can well afford to let that interest go down to history, ‘Then, gentlemen, how is it here in New York? Is not our State sadly in néed of reform? We did reform last year, but now we need some to reform the reformers. (Applanse and laughter.) What is the most sacred right you now enjoy ?_ Gentlemen of New York, a Legislature elected by the specious cry of reform robbed you of the most sacred right inherent to you, the most sacred right pertaining to citizenship. In the city of New York 132,000 voters have been absolutely robbed of the right of representation in four Congressional districts, ‘which can be manipulated and managed perhaps by the ffice-holders, who are now forming a formidable phalanx in support of the opposit ion. Four such districts make up in all but 409,000 inhabitants, Four distri the only erlme of which is that they are democratic districts, | have a | population "of 709,000. Here then, gentlemen, are 300,000 people of this State robbed of the most sacred ‘birthright of liberty. These things de- mand our attention. It remains for us in a spirit ot har- mony to address ourselves to the work. Another Conven- tion is in session in this city. An illustrious gentleman who happens to come from’ the same county as myself, treated the Convention held at Utica the other day with & delightful jeremiad over absent faces. There were illustrious men driven out from that Convention, but if General Van Wick had come to Syracuse ‘to-day he could have found the men who carry these absent faces, (Laughter and applause.) They are here to-day and they make up one of the largest and one of the ablest Political conventions that haye ever, assembled, in this tate. The Chairman of our State Convention has told us that General Grant, although a good general, could not amputate a leg. Why, my dear friends, it was the brain and the heart that needed amputation, These men, I say, constitute the brain of the party, They found that they had been ‘sowing corruptible seed; but they deter- mined upon selfresurrection if in corruption. It but re- mains for us to complete this great work, Let no party spirit, no partisan — interest, stand in the way. Let ‘us, in that spirit of ‘harmony an example of which our party exhibited at Baltimore, go on in the great work. Let us conclude our labors here with wis- lom and deliberation, and Tam confident—yes, as con- fident as though it had been traced by the hand of God in lightning along the vault of heaven—that victory will crown our efforts, (Tremendous applause.) Mr. WILLIAMS, of Erie, offered a resolution calling for the appointment of a committee of two froia each Judicial district on resolutions. Adopted. Mr. TILDEN announced that the other Convention sitting in the city had already appointed their Com- mittees of Conference on Electors, and as it would save time for this Convention to do the same to- night, he moved to take from the table his motion with reference thereto. Carried. Mr. GREGG, one of the delegates from the Liberal Republican Convention, was announced and com- munteated the fact of the appcintment of such Committee of Conference. The entire Convention arose and loudly cheered Mr. Gregg as hé appeared. Mr, Tilden’s resolution was adopted. Mr. REID, of Suffolk, moved that when the Con- vention adjourn it be to nine o’clock to-morrow morning. Carried. Delegations, in obedience to Mr. Tilden’s resolu- tlon, reported committees as follows to confer with the committees from the liberal republicans to select electors :— Name, Dist, Name. 1—John R.

SyYRacusE, Sept. 4, 1872, The Liberal Republican Convention assembled in Shakspeare Hall at fifteen minutes past twelve P. M., and was called to order by General Cochrane, chairman of the Central Committee on Proceedings. The Convention was opened with prayer by the Rev. Mr. Bailey, General Cochrane then addressed the Convention. Mr. Burt VAN Horn moved that Mr. T. G. Younglove be made temporary Chairman, which was carried unanimously. Mr. Burt Van Horn and Hobart Krum were appointed a committee to conduct Mr, Younglove to the chair, Mr. YOuNGLOVE, on taking the chair, addressed the Convention. The address was frequently interrupted by ap- Pplause, and the name of Greeley was received with cheers, MORE PRELIMINARIES. Mr. ALAHEN, of New York, moved that Alfred Wilkinson, George Graves and Samuel 0. Taber be made temporary secretaries. Carried. On motion the roll of i eae was then called, When the name of the Hon. Reuben E. Fenton was called the Convention rose en masse and gave three hearty cheers, which Mr. Fenton acknowl- edged by ing and bowing. The names of Willlam Dorsheimer and other prominent delegates were also received with applause. ir. StoTt, of Monroe, moved that a committee of two from each Judicial district be appointed to select permanent officers, Carried, ATTEMPT AT FUSION, Mr. FENTON offered the following resolution :— Resolved , That a committee of one from each Judicial (istrict be appointed by the Chairman of this Convention, the duty of which committee it shall be to confer with any like committee to be appointed by the Convention now in session at Wieting Ifall in regard to the most proper measures to gn by the two Conventions ‘with a view to united and harmonious action upon all matters to be considered by the respective Conventions with reference to the ensuing election. Resolved, That the Secretary of this Convention be in- structed to communicate this resolution to the Demo- cratic Convention now in session at Wieting Hail. Mr. FLOWER, of Jefferson, moved to make the committee consist of two from each Judicial dis- trict. He thought this Convention too large to make such an important committee to consist of only one from each Judicial district. Judge FITHIAN thought that a committee consist- ing of one from each Judicial district would be better able to discharge the duty than two. Mr. PorTER, Of Westchester, concurred with this view. He said this Convention was here tor one yentee only—that of conciliation—and he believed he smaller committee the better. Mr. Isaac H. Hunrer (colored) urged the larger number, saying it was necessary to have all sec- tions of the State represented. Our object here is conciliation; the election of Horace Greeley (ap- lause) to the Presidency, and a good, honest jovernor for this State. (Applause.) Mr. STEWART, of New York, moved that the com- mittee be made to consist of as many as thiesimilar committee of the other Convention. Alter further discussion Mr. Stewart withdrew his motion. General MERRITT said it had been stated that the democratic committee would consist of sixteen. If 80, then he suggested that the number in the reso. lution be increased. 28—Daniel B. Hill, 29—William F. Holmes. Mr, FexTon stated that there had been no under. | standing that the democratic committee would con- sist of sixteen, He had no doubt the democratic committee would’ be made to consist of eight. He had no objection to making the committee consist of sixteen; but he would like to have the amend- ment withdrawn, because he believed the other Convention would concur in making the joint com- mnittee consist of sixteen. Mr. Flower withdrew his amendment, A DELEGATE Moved to postpone the further con. sideration of the subject until after permanent organization. Lost. e resolution was thén adopted, < COMMITTEES.

Ifthere are no remarks to be upon this report and there are no objections from any gentleman, I move, peat it be adopted, so far as to authorize an appointment of a committed from each Congressional district. ‘ The CHark put the question on the motion and iv was carried.
