ee ee eS ee ee ee THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION, Tammany Outflanks Apollo Hall at the Start. O’Brien’s Friends Retire and Swear Vengeance. EX-GOVEBNOR SEYMOUR'S TACTICS. Tom Creamer Raises a Rumpus and Has to Subside. Terrific Cross-Firing Among the Delegates. NOMINATIONS POSTPONED. Sachems of Olden Times in the Garb of the Pale-Faces, a Back-Pay Grabbers Denounced and Forever Tabooed. Utica Resonant with the Yells of the Contestants. Utica, N. ¥., Oct. 1, 1873. It was at about twenty minutes to four o’clock this afternoon that Apollo Hall was slaughterea. The State Central Committee, under the influence of Allen C, Beach, determined to murder, Tammany Was jubilant this morning and seemed certain of victory. The Utica Band, with its swallow-tail coats, figured extensively to-day, promenading and blowang through all the main streets, The first statesman whom! met was Robert 3. Roosevelt, Chairman of the Democratic Union Party. He alone was exposed to fire, and his hat, a black beaver, was specked with powder, but he was joy- ous and free, It was said that Mr, Roosevelt had adelegation of twenty-one gentlemen from the As- sembly districts of New York, and he had assured me that they would have representation in the Convention. L[looked for those twenty-one gentie- men on all the hotel books in the city of Utica, whose artery is the Erie Canal. At no place did I find them—these, Demo- cratic Union delegates, They were like the spring flowers and the liberal republicans— they bad not developed as yet, The fact was that Mr. Roosevelt was his own party and his own dele- gation, and he had not brought his delegates with him, Mr. Roosevelt is a piscator venator, and‘ like Mr. Prime, he has gone a fishing, ‘but Tam- many Hall did not seem to give him the ¢onsidera- tion due to 112. votes, which Delegate William Walsh declares to’ be the vote of the Democratic Union Association. Tammany to-day proved her strength, as I yesterday stated she would. : THE CONVENTION MET ‘ at twelve o’clock to-day, but long before that hou! the delegates, who were diffident of the result, had agssembied at the Baggs and Butterfield houses, “the principal hotels of Utica. The only thing done to-day of any practical moment was the meeting of the Committee on Contested Seats. John Kelly spoke for Tammany, Charles Brooke for Apollo Hail and Rovert B, Roosevelt for the Democratic Union Organization (but, as I stated above, there was no ‘other delegate present than himself). The resolu- tions that he offered will be strong for free trade, specie payments and against all railroad monopoly. Manton Marble, of the World, was in deep consultation with Chief Justice Sanford E. Church at Albany last night, and the resolutions which will be offered have the sanction of the Jeading democrats, It was a strange thing that when the Convention assembled and when the band began to play all the delegations ap- peared to be in a friendly mood. The work over night had exhausted them in the Convention. Creamer spoke against Tammany, and stated that they were controlled by canal, railroad and gambling monopolies, It was understood in the session 01 the State Central Committee that Horatio Seymour would be temporary Chairman as well as permanent Chairman, but by a trick the temporary chair was changed, a Mr, Beebe being made Chairman, and = Mr. Fowler, of broo¥lyn, did the work. Tammany went to show herself in the Convention, and John Decker, of Staten Island, was selected to go jor- ward anddo the work. It was visible that John Decker did not kuow his business, and Timothy Campbell looked at him with a Seventh ward smile of contempt. A delegate of Jefferson county, whose name is Flower, and holds the dreadfully responsible git of the people as Mayor of Watertown, offered a resolution whieh favored Tammany. He was not a bad look- ing fellow, this Mayor, and he seemed to be prompt. Tom Creamer got upon his legs and made a speech, which was not heard, because the Chairman— Mr. Beebe, of Suilivan—pounded his mallet incessantly auring his Modoc oration. Crea- mer had no more right to be on the floor than Captain Jack would have to-day, yet he felt that the work must be done well if it were done at all. Truly, Creamer spoke as a mem- ber of the State Central Committee, having been tm the session of the committee on Tuesday night, at the Butterfield House, and he stated that the de- cision in committee was that HORATIO SEYMOUR should be temporary chairman, Seymour waited to-day until the row was over, and then he came in with his moral courage. He had on a biack frock coat; a little, thin white beard under his chin and a black silk stock around his neck. Seymour is elegant in his manner, and no one who saw him or conversed with him ever doubted that le was not the most elegant eG eman in the central part of the State ol New ‘ork; yet ne has backbone, and did not show him- self until the quarrel, which was preliminary to the practical proceedings of the Convention, had been settled. On the other hand I finda man from New York city who has been siandered grieviously, and I only bear further testimony of the numerous delegates irota Tammany Hall who thea and ‘warinly appreciate the man, Five years ago I met General Grant at West Point, and saw bim in his different moods. I have seen John Kelly for two days in this democratic Convention. He isa direct, solid, sensible man, aud when speaking does not use @ slang expression. He never opens his head without having something to say which would meet tle matter in contest, When he spoke to- aight of Samuel J. Tilden, and offered him asa delegate at large on the State Central Com- mittee there was & good deal of solid cheering. Kelly is a square-sheuldered man. He has the peculiar sieuch tn the shoulders, the pe- culiar walk, the peculiar chin whiskers, and the ecullar look which has been made famous at Cold arbor and Appomattox. Kelly has said but very Tew words during the two days of this Convention, and yet he jas ruled it with a rod of iron. If I could make an_ antithesis, | would choose Mr, Roosevelt and Kelly, the lesser, and the greater. John Kelly spoke but very few words to-night in the Convention, ‘Therein the usual clerk of ail conventions in the democratic party, Tead his notes with a clear and piercing voice, oe teen in his usual and excellent manner, which makes a convention a charming hour or two lor those who listen, but still it seems not to be regarding oratory or hero worship, A fact has been accomplistiea among democrats to-\iay, and that fact has been patent in Utica on this first day of October—that honest John Kelly, with his big buik, his big shoulders and his straightforward manner of speaking, now occupies the place jormerly filled with honor by Dean Richmond, of profane but everlasting memory. PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTION. Utica, N.Y., Oct. 1, 1873. The Democratic State Convention met in the Opera House at hall-past twelve o'clock P, M., and ‘was called to order by Mr. A. ©. Bracn, Vice Presi- dent of the State Committee, who addressed the Convention as iollows :—~ Geyriewen oF THE ConveNTION—For many ve fPeories of government, have prevailed in our land.

He concluded by proposing Mr. Beebe, of Sulli- van county, as temporary chairman, which was agreed to, and Messrs. Flower and Dewitt were appointed to comduct him to the chair: ‘MR. BREBE’S ADDRESS. On taking the chair Mr. Beebe addressed the Convention as follows :— Mr. CUATRMAM AND GENTLEMEN OF THE CONYENTION— Ireturn to you my sincere and heartfelt thanks for the’ distinguished honor or have conierred upon me in call- ing me to temporarily preside over your deliberations, it ig an honor unexpected; it is an homor which I shall bear in pleasant remembrance throughout ali the fier: years of my existence, and by every effort of which I am capable I shall endeavor to show to ron, the sincerity of my gratitude, We are met at atime in the political his- wry of our State when the holiest considerations of patriotism demand that we should act with firmness, de- cision and ananimity, One week ago the representatives of the Grant oligarchy im this State convened In this hail and adaressed themselves to the work of pominating, @ ticket and adopting a platform of principles. O1 the personnel of the ticket they nominated I have. prin to say. Of their resolutions, howeyer, | do not hesitate to declare that never betore was rhetoric made to serve #0 scurvy a purpose.

McCiellan took command of the routed soldiers of the Republic and at onee confidence and dis- capline were restored. The rebels were driven back and the country saved the disgrace of the capture of Wash- ington, ‘They claim that they have restored the national credit. Why, at the very hour of the adoptioa of that ‘resolution ‘the country was being shaken by 4 fmancral panic, unparalleled in tt whole tustory and the very Chairman ot, their Convention could scarcely, have gota check for $190 cashed at any bank in the State, Then look at thelr resolution with reter- ence to the salavy grab. Invain have they thrown a cloak ot verbiage, woven by the dett hand of their pet Senator, over thelr salary-grabbing President and Con- gregsmen, Neither the leprous rottenness: has been ob- scured, or has the stench been neutralised, There rests in words no medicinal property adéguate to the cleansing of the filteripgs of that. corruption. It is not strange that “when the Emperor tunes a scurvy liarp the ‘lords should turn buttoons.”” When 4 President ig driven by the accursed greed of avarice to lobby weeks for the increase of his salary, it is not mar- Vellous that petty Congressional mobilier graduates should strike tor a portion of the swag of which the Trea- sury was doomed to Tol Loudly does their plat- form vauntthe financial success of the and we are particularly invoked to admire the fortitudé of the President during the late panic in reusing to sanction the stealing of $44,009,000 at one grab for the purpose of appeasing the bulls ‘and bears of Wall street. We will give him all the honor he deserves for this, bu erhaps, we could taud him more cheerfully if we coul be quite sure that these millions would not be grabbed at the next session of Congress for the turther increase of his salary and the back pay of his associate grabbers. Bear with me, gentlemen, while I present a jew facts In illustration ot the rapacity of the adminis- tration, the financial achievements of which we are so earnestly implored to admire. It is a tact that the in- crease of government expenses for the present year over last year ix $18,000,000. It is w fact that the expense of the general government tor the present year is estimated by he, Secretary of the Treasury at and will excecd $308,000,000. Tt is a fact that this is two and one-fifth per cent of the assessed value, real and personal, of the United States, Itiv.a fact that the assessed value’ of the State ot New York is $1,967,001,135. It ix a fact that the share ot this State of the cost tor this federal government will be $45,274,026 07. It is a fact thatthe cost of the federal government tor the current year to each tax payer, averages just two, and ons-fith per cent of his assessed valuation, or $2 20 on cach $100 Of such assessment. It is «tact that in 1860 the expense of the federal government was only half of one per cent, or about one-fith of what it is now. [tis a fact that the cost oi the Executive Departmentof the government in 1860 was only $1,826,804. Itty a fact that this year it is $17,(00,000. itis "s fact that the gost of this department intder ‘Lincoln in 1864, when the war was raging and when for secret service and’ other extraordinary pur- Doses incident upon the war unusual expenditures wore Lecessary, Was only $3,439,041 in currency, when gold Tanged as high as $285 and greenbacks were worth a8 Jow as only 39 cents on the dollar, Itisa fact, therefore, that under Grant in 1873 during peace, the’ expenses of the President's own department, are over ten times—allowing for the depreciation of groenbacks—what they were under Lincoln in 184, while the rebellion was raging. | It Isa fact that the expenses of the war department in 180) was only $16.472202. At ie a fact that nC year dt 3 Ji, or twice as much as in 1850, Tr fa fast at the gxpense of pie Navy De- partment in when we had & cominerce (6 urotect, Pas only SiLo1,649 and it is a fact, shat iteexpence f id Fear (“Where {s our commerce’) is over $2y,000,000, or Gouble what it was in 1860 and the same ratio of enor- mous inerease in the cost of administeriny the depart- ments above enumerated applies 2 the other depart- ments of the government. It isa fact that under the presen, Credit Mobitier salary-grab Congress, the Congressional expenses are several Umes greater than formerly, If 1844, when greehbacks were depreciated to less than forty cents on the dollar, Congress cost only $2,997,192, For the current year the expenses of our salary grabbing statesmen will be seven or eight times that amount, even jo not grab any more salary orback pay. Inthetace of these facts—and the score cout’ be very materially Tengthened is it not the most m administration, ‘ork ear ot the brazen prestimption forthe supporters of the admmistra- tion to call upon the people to admire its financial suc- cess! To the liberals, some of whom 1 am happy to meet here to-day, let me say a word. Last year we tried to win by endorsing your action at Cilcinnati, and we failed: Now let usiry to win by the aid of tlie literal endorsement of the action of our Convention here to-day. Last year there was no neutral or half-way ground for democrats; we had to march squarely up to the liberal endorsement and we did it; you gave us a piatform which we endorsed then and which we endorse Now, Imt you then said to us, you must fight under our liberal banners and under the chieftain we have chosen, and we did. We failed, Now we ask you upon the samé platform, for there is no intention to repudiate the Cin- ¢ienati plattorm which yourselves prepared to fight under leaders of our selection, provided they are men In whose atriotism, ability and integrity de. We never the “least cause for hope that we disband as a political organization, triumphed in our joint efiori last and all, Grantism would have died. The dem- ocratic party would have lived on. To co-operate last year it Was necessary to temporarily ignore all differ- ences of sentiment in regard to tarif and other ques- tions. Co.operation this year will leave all at liberty to pursue after, the results such political courses as each may determine, bound only to honor, and to continue steadfaxt in the support of those dorinas, and deciara- tions set forth in the Cincinnati platiorm. Turn about is play. We tried on your plan: now you should try on ours. If we could have destroyed radicalism by fol- Jowing vou we were content. It itcan be destroyed by following us you should be equally as patriotic. We be- lieved and’ still believed that. radicalism will ruin our country. In this we hold a common faith. Therefore we are warranted in honor, nay, we are in honor bound to annihilate radicalism. ‘that done, if democrats and liberals cannot thereafier agree on matters of administrative policy, we will each go on our several ways, as our convictien' shall with reference to such matters impel us. Let us first relieve our country from the rapacity and despetisin of those who are now robbing us of our liberties and driving us to national bankruptcy; then, when we shatl have secured to our selves a government, we will return to the discussion of mere questions of administration and also to stich politi- " as our convictions shall impel. Though nay never Win another victory, it will never tories are not assenuial to its hie, It lives and ver live, vitalized by that devotion born of the stendfast faith its disciples have in its holy gospel of liverty, equality and justice. CONTESTING DELEGATIONS. On motion of Mr, Havener, of Albany, Mr. E. 0. Perrin, of Queens county, was appointed tem- ira. Secretary, The Secretary them read the list of delegates, Mr. Mcconine, of Rensselaer, called attention to the fact that several delegations were contested and moved that a committee of two from each Judicial district be appointed to act on all cases except that from Albany and that that case be re- ferred to the two delegates not contested, He made this exception of Albany tor the reason that the other delegates from that party can act best upon It, Mr. APGAR moved to strike out the provision re- lating to Albany, for the reason that that case should have the same consideration as the others. Mr. CAULDWELL, of Westchester, moved as a suv- stitute that the Chairman of the Convention ap- point a committee on Credentials, to consist of one delegate from each Judicial district, and that said committee act on all cases of contest. Mr. APGAR accepted so far as his amendment is concerned, Mr, McConmme& objected to the substitute, as it provided for only one from each district, and as to Albany county he believed the people of Albany knew more about their own matters than any one else; that was the reason he offered the resolution, Mr. CAULDWELL Was Willing to have the cormit- tee consist of two. Mr. APGAR would say amen if the people of Albany could settle this question; but he heid that the delegates from the other districts of that county could not decide upon this question any better than Other members of. the Convention. What he wanted was to have the usual proceed- ings. fir. MILLSPAUGH moved to except the First Judi- ciai district from the committee, which was agreed to, and the resolution as offered by Mr. Cauldwell was adopted. gave would COMMICTRES, j me Chairman then announced the committee as follows :— Second District—Johna G.

Mr, HOWARD, of Columbla, moved that the rules of the Assembiy govern the Convention, Mr. YouMANS, of Delaware, moved to except the rule of the previous question, Mr. FELLOWS, 0} Delaware, supported the amend- ment. He said ail questions proper to be debated should be debated at length. The amendment was adopted, and the resolution as amended was adopted.

Mr. FLOWER, of Jefferson, offered a resolution calling for three delegates in each Assembly dis- trict hereafter, and asked that ivbe laid on the table ill alter the permanent organization. Loud cheers greeted the reading of the resolution. Mr. UNDERHILL, of Steuben, offered a resolution recognizing the liberals and inviting their co- operation. OREAMER RAISES A ROW. Mr. CREAMER, of New York, rose, but the Chair- man, recognizing him as one of the contestants, rapped him to order. Mr. Creamer paid uo atien- tion to the Spying. but continued speaking amid at confusion. Only @ word or 80 at a time was eard, in which it was understood he denounced the convention, charged that the Committee on Credentials had been packed and said he would withdraw from the Convention. ‘The scene lasted several minutes, members cry- ing. “Pult him out!” Hisses and hootings were mixed with Creamer’s talking, which was very cool and caim, bat finally grew excited, and the Chairman rapped with his et Several delegates took the floor, among them some who asked if that gentleman (Mr. Creamer). had a right to take up the time of the Convention in this way. Great confusion ensued. Mr. De Wirt, of r, rose and moved that Mr. Gaene be (Great confusion again broke ou Mr. MAGUIRE asked upon what subject the gen- tleman proposed to speak ? Mr. WEsTON, of Erle, declared that the gentle- man trom New York (Mr. amer), by his treat- ment of the Convention and the Chatr, nad for- Jetted bis right to address the Convention, and, not only this, but he is not yet s member of the Convention. Mr, FLOWER, of Jefferson, moved that the Con- renee take @ recess till two P. M., which was: carried, Afternoon 5S lon. The Convention reassembled at ten minutes past three, P. M. Mr. FELLOWS, of Deleware, said that in view of' the facts that the committees are not ready to re- port he would move that the Convention take a turther recess, until half-past four P. M. Mr. BEACH said there was some business, such a8 appointing committees on resolutions, which could be transacted, Mr. FELLOWS called attention to the fact that but half the members of the Convention were present, The Chair stated that, owing to the business of the Convention, he would not feel justified in en- tertaming any but the motion to adjourn. ‘The motion was then put and the Convention took a recess until balf-past four P. M, 4 Fe Convention reassembled at half-past four When ex-Governor Seymour entered the Con- vention he was received with great applause, the members rising. The Chair stated the questton pending to be on Mr. De Witt’s motion, to give a hearing to Mr, Creamer, Mr. DB Witr withdrew his motion for the present. Mr. McConrnE, from the Committee on Creden- tials, reported that the committee unanimously agreed that N. C.Noaks and J. J. Marvin were the regular delegates from Albany: also, unani- mously, that the Tammany delegates from New York were the regular delegates. Mr. De Wir stated that he had been requested to ask that the Apello Hall delegation have a hear- ing on this question. He, therefore, moved that they be heard through one of their delegates. Mr. Fox rose to a point of order that the report must first be acted upon. The Chair decided the point well taken and the report was agreed to, ‘he Apollo Hall delegation then left the hall. PERMANENT ORGANIZATION. Mr. Hart, of Orleans, trom the Committee on Permanent Organization, made the following re- port:— (Long, con- For President-Horatio Seymour. tinued applause.) for Vice Presidents—First district, E.

The report was agreed to. jesers, George Beach and sohn Decker were ap- pointed to eonducf Mr. Seymour to the 'chair. On taking the chair Mr. Seymour addressed the Con- vention as followa:— _ EX-GQYERNOP SEYMOUR'S SPRECH. Mast ot ie State Convention:—We meet ata time when unusual interest is felt in the action of nom- inating conventions. The disturbed state of finances, the heavy burden of taxation, the trequent exposure of offictal corruptions excite the atiention of the public to the character of tho:e who are placed before them as candidates for office. Party ties will not hold voters to the support of any who are ot felt to be fitted for public stations by their integrity and capacity. The real ob- ject ot this Convention must te to place in nomination men of the highest character and of undoubted capacity to conduct our Staie affairs. ilar currents have ‘ons also prove that hitherto acted with give election last spring show that the set in our favor. These town ele reat numbers ot those who hav ihe republicans now intend to act with us, it we them candidates who deserve their support. Asin a large number of the towns and counties of this Stare there ure two minorities the liveral republicans, who cannot go with the administration, and the members of the democratic party—they tind when they go together they become the majority. Acting upon this fact at the spring elections, they united upon local candidates, having regard only ‘to fimess and strei the ny ni resuit was gain ov pearly 100 towns, and the coutrol of a number of Counties heretofore opposed tous. Let us act in the same spirit o good sense and patriotism, and We shail not only carry the counties ot New York and thus gain a body of political strength in a.its postions, but we shail also put our great state into its rightful ositicn—that of the stronghold of them who seek to ring back our government to its ancient simplicity, ac- curacy, and constitutional action. As this is a State and local ‘election we are relieved irom the discussion of many subjects, with regard to which there are honesi dif- ferences of opinion. Our great, absorbing duty isto carry our State, and to give it a’ better administration aud more fuir and honest legislation; to that poiut we must direct all our thonght; to gain thisend we must put in nomination a ticket made up of men with records so n, with characters *o pw d with capacity so un- done that it it ought to t citizens who gave us lo- last spring will continue to act with us, and ‘will give us a victory tn the State this autumn. Gentle- arin mind in all your actions that a good ticket makes a certain triumph. Mr. FLOWER called from the table a resolution for enlarging the basis of representation to future conventions to three delegates from each Assem- baie and it was adopted unanimously. ir. NOBLE, of Queens, otered a resolution that a 80 as to take from the peopie the power to elect a judiciary, should receive no enconragement from the democratic party. This was referred to the Committee on Resolutions. COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS. The Chair announced the following Committee on Resolutions :— First District—A, S. Luthran and Hiram Calkins. Second District—S, D. Morris and W. Cauldwell. Third District—G. M. Beebe, Sullivan and George Beach, dices District—Solomon B, Russell ana T. B. itchell. Fisth District—Sanford Miller and W. A. Pancher. Sixth District—J, McGuire and W, Youmans. Seventh District—G. W. Bowan and E. hill. Bighth District—Alonzo Tanner and J. H. Ryder. COLD SHOULDER TO LIBERAL REPUBLICANS, Mr. UNDERHILL, of Steuben, called trom the table the foliewing:— Resolved, That we recog nize in the liberal republicans of the State of New York worthy coadjutors in the work of reform. That, appreciating their devotion to_princi- ple, integrity and pure governinent, we cordially invite their co-operation. The resolution was referred to the Committee on Resolutions. A resojution was submitted denouncing the back- H. Under- pay law of Congress, which was referred to the Committee on Resolutions, The Convention then took a recess until half past seven P. M. Evening Session. The Convention reassembled at eight oclock. Mr. CAULDWELL, Irom the Committee on Re- solutions, announced that it would be impossible for the Committee to report before to-morrow morning. Mr, OopeN, of Yates, stated that it appeared to him that the Convention should go on and nominate its ticket. The Convention was here for that purpose. It was usual to nominate before the resolutions were adopted. He, therefore, moved that the Convention proceed to nominate, Mr. BEACH, Of Greene, suggested that, inasmuch as the Convention had to meet to-morrow, it would be best to await till then; besides, it would: be im- proper to go on and nominate in the absence oi the Committee on Resolutions. Mr. OGDEN said he was informed the committee had adjourned, and were present now. Mr, BEACH replied that the gentleman. was mis- informed. They were now at work with @ large number of resolutions before them, Mr. ArGaR thought tne business of the Conven- tion would not be expedited in the least by pro- ceeding with the nominations, He warned the Convention against proceeding in this way as many of tne lelegates would then leave the city to-night and the resolutions would not receive that con- sideration which they should receive, He cited a case in the past when this was done with a very bi in Mr. Moak, of Albany, concurred in this view. He wanted to know what the resolutions were ve- fore the ticket is made, 80 that We may know who are the gentlemen who will best come up to them.

THE NOMINATIONS POSTPONED. After some further debate a motion was made to postpone the nomination of the ticket until ten o'clock A. M. to-morrow, which was carried. ‘The Chair suggested that the names of candi- dates be thoroughly canvassed to-night, so that to-morrow they may be presented understand- ingly. It was verv important that a good ticket be mene and in this way it could be secured and time saved. Mr. KELLY, of New York, moved that Samuel J. Tilden be appointed a member at large of the State Committee, and proceeded to speak of the great services rendered the democratic party by Mr, Tilden. He was anxious to retain those ser- vices, and therefore proposed that it be done in this way. The motion was unanimously adopsed. ‘Mr. OGpen, of Yates, said he rose to offer a reso- lution on @ subject which had excited in his mind much anxiety and pain— Resolved, That we will not place on the State Commit- tee any man who has yoted for or received back pay under the recent act of Congress. Mr. Bagmn, of Kings, said he wished to say to the gyasiemes, ‘om Yates that the delegation from ings county will not sumbit to be dictated to as to whom they will select to represent them on the State ticket. Mr. FELLOWS, of Delaware, said that the reso- lution of the gentleman trom Yates did not point to arr, county in particular; but it was the duty of the democracy to strike down any man whose hands are suilied by the reception of this back pay steal, and the democracy should not hesitate to do its duty in this matter, The voice of the people, from the Sierra Nevadas to the Atlantic, had been expressed on this matter, and it demands that no man who bas allowed his reputation to be sullied by this, the most gigantic robbery on record, shail be taken into confidence. He referred to the position of other States on this subject, and asked if New York should stand as the apologist of these public roo- bers. (Applause, and cries of “No, no,”) Should we place the interests of the democratic party in the hands of men guilty of this robbery ¥ He thought the democrats mixed in this robbery were deserving of the most censure. It was expected of republicans, this atrocious robbery, but 1t was Lot of democrats, (Cheers and ajp'ause). He re- peated, no ; articular county was aimed at, but all who had done this foul treason to the demo- cratic party. Mr. De WITT, of Ulster, was anxious that this Con- vention should do justice, We have adopted a resolution allowing representatives trom the diferent districts to appoint their members of the State Committee, and now we are asked to Pa haagctd putting on to that committee certain men, ‘nis was aimed at one man, Thomas Kinsella, of the Brooklyn Hagle, and ex-member of Congress. | This was the man aimed at. He knew Mr. Kinsella and he knew he was op- posed tothe back pay law. All he has done is, le took the money after the law was passed by others. (Laughter.) He (De Witt) knew Kinsella, knew him to be a good, sound and uncompromising democrat. ww Mr, OGpeN replied to an allustou to the repub- licanism of Yates county by Mr. Roche. He admit- ted there were but few democratic victories in Yates; but there were democrats there w>e were good and true, democrats who fought against victories as hard as those who fougnt gaining vic- tories. As to the resolution aimed at Mr. Kin- seila, he knew nothing avout the gentleman. He knew him not. His wish and desire was to get the honest expression o! the democratic party here represented on that question. He asked ii this Convention should denounce receiving back pay, and then place at the very fountain head the men receiving it! He was in favor of Kings county mauaging her own affairs, but Kings county don’t manage the affairs of the whole State. Never, he said, with his consent, should Kinsella have a place on the State ticket. Kings county may honor him as she pleases, but this Convention, representing the State, cannot do so. The resolution was adopted unanimously. THE STATE COMMITTEE. The Snlomates were then called upon to name members of the State Committee, with the follow- ing result ;— At Large—Samuel J. Tilden.

Y., Oct. 1, 1873. The Apollo Hall delegation, alter withdrawing from the Convention, went to Baggs’ Hotel, where they held a meeting in order to compare views on the situation they were placed in, Some were in favor of nominating a_ ticket; others wanted to remain here and demand admit- ance to tue Convention; others wauted to adopt an address to the democracy of the State, while others again—and the largest number—were in Javor of adopting # simple protest. This view pre- valled and the following was adopted :— Rooms or tak Arot.o Hart Drircation, Unica, N.Y. 873. w N. ¥., Oct. 1, 1 The Democratic State Convention has rejected and in- sulted the d m representing 35,00 honest voters in the city and county of New York.” This aciton was noteriously by deception and fraud in the tem- porary orga: ot the Convention and the construc- tion of a packed Committee on Credentials.

The ocean races under direction of the New York Yacht Club will be sailed one week from to- day—Thursday, October 9. The events embrace, first,a@ cup of the value of $1,000, presented by Commodore Bennett, to be sailed tor by schooner yachts belonging to any orgamized yacht club, irom an anchorage of Owl's Head, New York Har- bor, to and around the Lightship on Five Fathom Bank, off Cape May, N. J., and return to Sandy Hook Lightship; second, three purses of the value of $1,000, $250 and $250 respectively, also pre- sented by Commodore Bennett, tobe sailed for over the same eourse upon the same day, and open to the following cl of vessels, hailing from any port in the United States :— First—Pilot Boats. Second—Working schooners of not less than 25 nor over 300 tons, old measurement, Third—Schooner Smacks. In the latter contest it has been arranged that the boat first arriving at the winning post will be entitled to the pur: $1,000, and the first vessel arriving of each of che other two classes to take a purse Of $260, no class, however, being allowed to win more than one prize, These events will be sailed in accordance with the satling regulations of the New York Yacht Club, which limit the amount of canvas to be carried to the following :— Mainsail, foresail, torestay sail, jib, fying jib, jib topsail, fore and main af topsail and main topmast staysail. essrs, Fietcher Westray, Wm.

All information re- garding the races, a8 well as specific instractions as to the course to be sailed, will be iurnished upon application to the secretary, Mr. Charlies A. Minton, No. 26 Broad street, New York. ‘These events have given rise to much specula- tion in yachting circies, and among the owners and satling Masters of the vessels invited to enter for the prizes, Bach of the races should have a large number of entries, and that open to pilot beats and others will undoubtedly be Perticutarn excit- ing. There are scores of speedy crafts belonging to the classes invited to contest fdr the purses in New York harbor and adjacent waters, and, while it will be pleasant to note the presence of many of these, the numerous seaport towns but short journeys distant shouid also send their crack re- presentatives, and each endeavor to carry away one or more of the prizes. There will be ample oppertanity on the 9th inst. te test the various models of this class of vessels, and if the wind should get up considerably cross that morning and blow a little and continue in that mood throughout the races, there will be incidents suficient to make the occasion @ memorable one in aquatic amuse- ments, It is Naty wnt desired by the Regatta Committee that as much publicity as practicable be given to the eonditions of these contests, and to taisend the journals in seaboard towns are re- spectiully requested to reproduce them and thus ald in making the events, as they deserve to be, emimently successful, Yachting Notes.

Is It To Be a Judge or Is It To Be a Politician? A PERFECT DANIEL. Comments on Charles 0’Conor, Wm M. Evarts and Noah Davis. THE KEY TO THE SITUATION Conkling’s Chances Hinging on the New York State Election. WOULD HE GIVE SATISFACTION? What the American People Expect as a Bight, Not as a Favor, The legal luminaries of the country do not gen- erally show a warm sympathy for the objects that fire the popular heart; but if there be one thing upon which the people and their dispensers of jus- | tice are in warm unison it is the impatient desire for a final solution of the great question, “Who shall be the Chief Justice of the United States?’ This desire has repeatedly found expression in these columns, and, in order to add the views of an eminent judicial officer of this city to those already published on the subject, a HERALD re. porter called yesterday on Judge John R. Brady, of the Supreme Court, at his private residence in West Thirty-third street. The Judge is a gentle- man, with a fine, intellectual head, and an open, sympathetic countenance, which is generally lit up turn, it took all the persuasive powers of HERALD representative to induce bim to give his opinions for publication, Having, however, con- sented to submit to the interviewing process, he | took to it Kindly, and, unlike some unevenly balanced persons who become stilted and measured in their words when in danger of being immortalized in print, Judge Braay did notat all veem to imagine that forty centuries were looking | down upon him, but expressed his views in the usual manner of private conversation. The HERALD reporter opened with the remark, “Firat, I should like to have your opinion, Judge, on the qualifications necessary jor a Chief Justice of the United States.” Judge BRapy—The essential point requisite to a gentleman selected for the position is that he should be a sound lawyer, quite familiar with the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States, and having, as the result of a varied ex- | perience, some acquaintance, at least, with the de- cisions of the courts of the different States of the Union, He should be a man of comprehensive | views, and, if I may use the expression, a Jarge grasp of mind. Decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States are to a great extent, if not ab- svlutely, perpetual on the questions considered and disposed of, When the Supreme Court of the United States makes a solemn adjudication of a principle 1t becomes binding upon that Court and is regarded as authoritative in other courts, al- though they may not always adopt the conclusion arrived at. Hence a Chief Justice of the United States, as, indeed, every judge, stould be en- tirely free irom such strong political preju. dices, bias or tendency as would in any way affect his consideration of any case, political or otherwise. It may possibly be dificult to find this quality ina man who would be regarded as sufiicientiy distinguished in bis profession to be selected for such @ high place, because it Is A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE that they have strong opinions on all subjects, whether they have sufficiently investigated or not. They do not hesitate to express themselves when- ever the opportunity occurs, Thus a quality which | is individual toa great extent in other nations may be regarded as collective here, REPORTER—Do you think, Judge, that a man who has been a partisan in politics can be impartial on | the bench ? Judge BRaDY—No person should be chosen for that place unless he is a man of steriing .integrity and possess+s the attribute to override all party considerations, and entertain no doubt about a man of integrity being able to leave the rostrum to take his seat upon the bench and to render his politics entirely subservient to the discharge of his judictal duues. RepoxrTER—Charles O’Conor has been suggested for the Chief Justiceship. What 1s your opinion, Judge, of his qualifications? Judge BRApy—As regards Mr. O’Conor | think he | ig eminently quaiitied for it, but 1 doubt very much | whether he would accept. No one has a doubt of his capacity forthat place. I regard Mr. O'Conor one of the greatest, if not the greatest, living lawyer to-day, not only because he possesses @ legal mind of astonishing power, but because | of bis extensive and varied research, his. thorough | apprehension of legal niceties, his comprehensive handling of intricate legal dogmas, bis ready ap- plication of legal rules, doctrines or principles to any case to which he devotes the energy of his mind. I am, however, inciined to the opinion, trom what I have heard and what I have read, shat Mr. O’Conor’s politics would be an insuperable bar to his appoiniment, although it is my convic- tion that the person appointed should be selected Without reference to bis political status or bias. And here let me observe that whoever is selected for that place will be @ man, and will doubtiess have some of the infirmities of men, and, therefore, may not reach that standard of; perfection which some oi the gentlemen who have expressed their opinions have marked out as to the proper person to be chosen, I have no memory of any ABSOLUTELY PERFECT MAN, EXCEPT THE SAVIOUR. RePorTeR—What do you think of William M. Evarts’ qualifications for the Chief Justiceship ? Judge brapy—Mr. Evarts is a gentleman possess- ing, im my judgment, the necessary qualitications for the Chief Justiceship. ido not mean, however, vo be understood tuat either he or any otber gentie- man selected jor that place would not require some experience in the Court before he would be equal to all the exigencies of our profession. This view, L think, would be appreciated by Mr. Evarts himself, every member of @ profession requiring some experience beiore he can become master of the situation. Rerorren—There have been lately some startling suggestions in the HeraLp regarding Senator Conkling’s chances for the Chief Justiceship and the coming New York State election? Judge BRaDY—I do not claim to be a prophet in my own iand, but, AS THE WIND 18 BLOWING, It seems to me that there is much force in the suggestion already put forth by the HERALD } | | that the appointment of any other than Mr. Roscoe Conkling to that place will depend entirely on the success of the republican party in this State at the ait election. I do not believe that Mr. Conkling will resign as United States Senator, which he would have to do to accept the appointment, to leave nis place open to democratic success, and this, perhaps, is the cause of the delay in the selection. Or, in other words, it is not probable that the re- publican party, if they control Mr. Conkling, or that that gentleman himéeelf would yield the position of Senator from the State of New York to Le doubtiul chance about the selection of a republican suc- cessor. If the democratic party should succeed in carrying the State ana getting a majerity on joint ballot it ts not likely Mr. Conkling Would re- sign, and im that way give to that party the oppor- tunity of selecting a democrat as his successor. And berein lies, doubtiess, THE KEY TO THE WHOLR SITUATION, as far as Mr. Conkling is concerned. REPORTER—Do you approve, Judge, of such o course, Which would make the appointment of the highest judicial officer of the United Scates sabser- vient to the success of a political mancuvre ? Jupax BRapy—I can only repeat what I have already said, that in my ju ent, the selection of a Chief Justice should not subservient to political consideration. judictal officer, sup- josed to administer the laws roe NT ene he intervention of a single ical e » Uns legs it Danaasarily forma a nat of his judement in = mam | dent of the with that kindly, humorous expression that speaks | of his love for human kind.

Not being the appointing po [have never directed my mind sufficiently to the subject to feel justitiea in selecting any name, That is a matter for seri- ous and bad deliberate thought and investi- gation. If the duty devolved upon me [ should not only consider and reflect, but examine and investigate as to who should be laced in the most responsible position in the inion. It seems to me, however, a very good sug- gestion that the appointment of the Chief Justice should be given to the senior judge of the Supreme Court of the United States. PORTRR—DO you consider the office of Chief Justice equal, if not superior, to that of President of the United States? Judge BRapY—Having no standing army In this country, our judges are substituted for them to protect the peeple, and should form the advance guard whenever the rights of the citizens are in Jeopardy, which are to be defended without regard 0 an IN DEFIANCE OF ALL POLITICAL INTENTS TO DESTROY’ TH eM. REPORTER—Among those who have been remetely mentioned in connection with the Chief Justiceship is Judge Noah Davis, What ts your opinion of him as a Chief Justice ? Judge BRapby—He is a man of undoubted ability, and, if chosen for that place, would infuse into the judicial consultations a decidea element of humor, which donbtieas would contribute much to the social pleasures of such reunions. Ido not give any names, but I think there are many gentlemen in the Unitea States who do not reach the exalted standard of perfection which seems to have been required Pr some of the gentiemen interviewed, who en quite equal to the position and its requires men RePORTER—The HERALD thinks that it is high time the appointment was made by the President. Is not this your opinion also ? Judge BRapy—It seems to me, without intend. ing to be censorious or unkindly, that the Pre: dent has had time enough to determine who should be the successor of Chief Justice Chase; more particularly‘with the convictions impressing themselves upon me that the choice should be made for ability, learning and integrity, without regard to political bias or prejudice and without reference to the political results following the choice made. The people of the United States are entitled to the selection of aman purely on ac- count of his capacity for the piace and on the roposition that he wiil administer the laws of the land asa Judge and as @ dodge only ; and for the expression of this thought in the selection of the perean the people are under no obligation to the resident of the’ United States. IF 13 THEIR RIGHT, The question 1s who is to be the Chief Justice of the United States? Is it tobe a Judge or is it to be @ politician? It the former, then the latter is cee significance; if the latter, the office is not led. RerorTer—Would, in your opinion, the appoint- Ment oi Senator Conkling as aChief Justice of the United States give satisiaction to the American | natiou? Jupee Brapy—In reference to Senator Conklin; it may be said that having been regarded an being still pegeeden: as the champion of the Presi- nited States and a prominent and efiective member of the republican party—by some even as a bitter partisan—it is questionable whether the selection would be acceptabie to tne nation or creditable to the President of the United States, because the person chosen snould be FREE FROM THE SUSPICION that he would be influenced by political considera- tions at any time in the discharge of his high func- | tions. REPORTER—Then you presume, sir, that his ap- poiniment would not be free from suspicion? Judge BRapy—Mr. Conkling and myself belong to different political organizations, and if I ex- press any opinion about him it might be thought I was moved by my difference of political faith. I am told that he 1s regarded, aside of his political aspirations and paper ony asa very clever fellow, and if he be so I take off my hat to him, A parti- san Judge, t.ough, is a dangerous fellow-citizen, and his achievements are pretty well illustrated by this story :— An Irishman, meeting his friend, sald:—*Well, Pat. where have you been to-day?” “Well, Jimmy, I have been down to Coort, watch- ing the judges and the jury. I noticed that the jury give a great many verdicts; but tne little man, sitting up there on the top of a high bench, the sunaere suppose, gets more of them than any ody. The Judge brought the interview to a close with this humorons story, and expressing a hope that interviewing would soon become one of the lost arts, good-naturedly invited the reporter to call again when he [elt inclined to do so in an unprofes- sional capacity. A WHOLE CiTY MADE GLAD. The State Bank of New Bruns- wick, N. J., Saved. Public-Spirited Stockholders—Important Meeting Yesterday—Nearly $700,000 Subscribed to Restore the Institution—Great Rejoicing ihronghout the Town. Tt is safe to say that the happiest city in New Jersey yesterday, or, to be more correct, last night, was New Brunswick, which, for a month past—but more especially since the beginning of the (nancial trouble throughout the country—has been in a Jeverisu state over the old State Bank of that place. Several weeks ago, as duly recorded in the HERALD, the oMcers of the bank were dis- covered to be in a very disconsolate state, and the statement was made that, through the mismanage- ment of the oficers, there was adefalcation of over $200,000, but as the bank had a handsome surplus fund and the Board of Directors aggregated over $10,000,000 in their own personal fortunes, no fears were entertained that any serious trouble would ensue, ‘The cashier, Greenleaf R. Appleton, was suspended and the books given in charge of an ex- pert named J. U. Underhill, from New York. Apple- ton, it was said, had been very intimate with Mr. R. N. Woodward, President of the New Brunswick Carpet Company, and hence the latter was allowed to overdraw his account, Several officers of the carpet company were aiso oficers of the bank, and these, was alleged, had been doyetailing matters between the two institutions so as to let.the carpet com- ny have the best showing. Business went on at The Bank for several weeks, until finally it had te suspend. Meanwhile the most earnest individual efforts were made to save it from gotug into the hands of areceiver. The State was a creditor to the amount of nearly $9,000, and last Friday Gov- ervor Marker and Chancellor Runyon visited New Brunswick to inquire into the matter. Up te yes- terday THINGS LOOKED VERY BLUE for the bank, but before night had fairly set in the blue cloud had lifted and the prospect was that the morrow would see brighter and more cheeriui skies. Yesterday a meeting of directors and other stockholders was held. It opened proceedings about eleven o'clock, and it was nearly six betore it closed. Mr. Joseph Fisher, Sr., was chosen to preside, and Mr. G. D. McCoy acted as Secretary. The first business in order was the reading of THE EXPERT'S REPORT, which showed that the “available aasets” of the bank were $330,947; tue ‘‘other debits,’ including “overdrafts, irregular’? ($621,002) and ‘cash short, or represented by carpet company vouchers,’ $1,403,552; the ‘audited abilities,’ $723,929; “other credits,’ $1,403,552, and “items not audited,’ $652,982, In his report the expert made some explanations which reflected severely on the directors for not looking properly into the affairs of the bank, examining the assets of the cashier, &c. Others besides directors were to blame also. Alter a desultory discussion, in which Messrs. Adrain, J. Ford, Abram Voornees, S.C. Ballard, Provost, Onderdonk, Anton and others ‘ticipated, and in which some pretty severe things were said respect: ing the manipulating of the books and the luke- warmness of directors and others to cause the arrest of Appleton, the meeting settled down to the real. work, the raising of @ fund to place the old institution on its legs again. many changed their offers as they their neighbors bowels of compassion and, at last, the correct list of SUBSCRIBERS TO THE FUND was found to be as follows:— John R. Ford. Dr. A. D. Newell. Chris. Me: MeCurdy...... H. Richmond Ira C. Voorne Abrain Voorh A saw expand, H. L. Janeway... 15 Peter C. Onderdonk.. a Miles Ross... . ‘Staats Cli “ Joveph Fisher, Je...

When the news of the sub- seription got abroad there was great rejoicing among the townspeople, as all seemed imbued with the idea that the prosperity of the bank was their prosperity in greater or lesser degree, Men met each otherin the street. and shook each other's hanas for joy. Several hundred poor widows and other lemale hearts were made glad beyond de- scription, The conduct of Mr. Ford was especially commended, also that of Mr. Meyer. THE CHANCELLOR had already atis chambers, in Newark, Henry Palmer, of New Brunswick ; Bltas of Newark, and Washington B. Williams, jersey City, receivers, but the legal representative of the bank visited the Chancellor last os pan | vouchers of the action taken at the ting, whic! will probably have the effect of recalling the re- cetvers, as they have not yet entered apon any duty, This new phase of the bank’s ‘wil be hatied with nlesanre throughout New Jersey.
