SEYMOUR NOMIGATED, | Yesterday’s Proceedings of the State Convention at Saratoga. INTENSE EXCITEMENT AND ENTHUSIASH. The Sage of Oneida Has Honors Thrust Upon Him, A Life Long Democrat the Demand of Tammany. “THE BOSS” BAVORS CLARKSON N. POTTER. Dorsheimer’s Name Only Slightly Applauded, SOMPTROLLER ROBINSON STRONGLY SUPPORTED A Committee of Ten to Wait Upon Seymour To-Day, POTTER'S BBCORD I CONGRESS BEVIEWED. Probable Nominations for the Lieutenant Governorship. Sararoaa, August 30, 1976. The forenoon of to-day left the political situation in the same unsottled stato as when the last delegate slosed his eyes in slumber this morning. ‘In the field wo still had Dorshemer, Robinson, Marble, Greon, Potter,- Clinton and West from: which to select, > Horatio Seymour’a name, however, overshadowed all While # possible chance re: mained to nominate him, other candidates had Yo remain in the background. When the delegates tame down from theif rooms this morning the first question propounded was in relation to the probability of Soymour’s acceptance; all other matters sank into ‘utter insignificance, At one time a delegate conveyed the information that he had good authority for stating that Mr. Seymour would accept Mf nomiaated by acclamation; another as emphatically stated that the gentioman would not accept under apy ®oncetvable circumstances. His health was poor, and the excitement of a canvass must killhim. The friends ‘ef the other candidates were not idle. In the mean- ‘while accessions had come in by tho early trains, Clarkson N. Potter began to ioom up stronger Aban ever. His advocates increased in number. Lucius N, Robinson was also talked about ® goed deal, Comptroller Green’s friends brushed up and asserted that they began to sce daylight for their candidate. Thus the morning wore on until tweive o'clock, the hour set down for the assemblying of the Convention, Much interest was manifested in the gathering and the Town Hall was packed by delegates and spectators shortly after eleven o'clock. ‘The arrangements for the Convention were far ahead of those made by the republicans. Tickets had been provided for every one who entered the hall, which prevented contusion or crushing. The ladies wero also comfortably seated; the organization of tho Conven- tion was also completed without any jat or hindrance, 14 was evident the machinery in that respect worked in perfect harmony. Mr. Rutus W. Peckham, the temporary president, made an excellent presiding officer. His speech was attentively listened to and produced a marked impres- Sion upon the Convention, When Tilden’s namo came up in tbe remarks enthusiastic cheers greeted the al- lusion to the reform Governor. The hearis of the assemblage were evidently with its Presidential cangidate, Mr, Peckham mado a forcible argument ia sapport of his proposition as to the neces. Sity ‘or reform in public affairs trom the President down to the meanest official in the land. He also vig- orously denounced the policy of the republican purty tm its treatment of the South, and severely eriticised their efforts to solve the financial problem, remarking that the only thing in the republican plattorm on this Buhject worthy of notice was borrowed trom the demo- ¢ratic platform of 1874. ‘TAMMANY'S GOOD TIME, ‘The next feature of the Convention worthy of notice ‘was the calling of the roll. New York being reached on the list, the Tammany and anti-fammany union was symbolized by great applause at the mention of the | Bames of John Kelly, John Morrissey, James O’Brien, and James Wood. Thisisthe first timo tor several Years that we have had a united democratic delegation | from New York city. After the appoigtments of the | Various commitiees the Convention took a recess until Seven o’clock in the evening. GETTING TIME FOR CONFERENCE. An attempt was made by some of the delegates to moet again at four o'clock, but it had evidently been | fixed by the leaders that ample time should bo given for consultation as to the best candidate. 1s was made Plain in this way that no special man had been thus far stated for the nomination. General Payne, of Ohio, end others had left for Utica tho night betore. Timo | ‘was required to hear from them and ascertain posi- tively the ultimatum of Governor Seymour, ANXIRTY ABOUT SEYMOUR, Little hope, however, is entertained by Senator Ker- Ran and other party leaders that the Deerfield states. | will consent to ran, Rumors were in circula- tion that bis health was so poor be could not oven | write a letter withoutan amanuensis. Then the propo- Bition was started to nominate him whether | he consented or not. Mr. Seymour, it wa: contended, could not find i in his heart to disobey the unsuimous mandate of his party in such a crisis as the present, This plan, however, met with | lew advocates. it was urged as bad policy to compli €ato tho political situation in the Stare by nominating | & canaidate who might be physically incapacited from accepting, and who had repentediy stated he would not again take oflice under any circumstances. Mr. Sey- mour’s neptiew, it was given out, urged upon the Jeaders she total impossibility of his uncle’s acceptance, and shis gentleman’s arguments held back tho Convention from porforming an act which it might afterward | deeply regret, MK. SEYMOUR DECLINES, Atan carly hour of the afternoon the news was car- | ried from Senator Kernan’s room and whispered around | that Governor Seymour bad sent a despatch in which he se: forth im the most empbatic manner that le could not, under any circumstances, accept the homnation This report settled the controversy as to Mir, Seymour's availability, Then the canvass again romwmenced in earnest on the other candidates, PORSHMIXKR TUB FAVORITE, At four o'clock word came from Senitor Kornan’s toom that Dorshetmer was tbe favorite |» The fact could not disgaised that @ Litter op. the race, be position stood solidly against Dorsheimer among a | fargo number of the do! os, But the word was passed aloug the line, sad tho political command must be implicitly obeyed. Gressioual districts were ¢alled, TAMMANY VAVORS POTTER, Tammany held an informal cathering at the Grand Union, and a majority of the delegates dectared in favor of Clarkson N. Potter, The anti-Tammany men wero divided between Potter and Dorsheimer. Senator Bixby went oat on a scouting expedition and canvassed among his delegates for the latter. Tho plan of battie partially abandoned by Governor ‘Tilden’s friends yesterday afternoon was again adopted,’ but it seemed a diMcult matter to whip the rebellious into line, and go the battle went on until evening THE CONVENTION AGAIN IN S#S810X, It was some time alter seven o'clock when the Con- vention reassembled. An impression had gone forth that the machine was not in perfect working order and that a ballot would not be reached before to-mor- row morning. Delay means danger to the hopes of Dorsheimer. But the work of the Conven- tion should go on, and a little oil carefully ap- Plied to the machine during the night might arrango everything satisfactorily, Hiram Grey, of Chemung, the permanent President, made a short speech, point- less and tame When tho naine of Horatio Seymour was announced as one of the electors at large the Convention beoke out into cheers, ogain and again repeated. The resolutions are terse and vigorous, They deal with vital issues, and denounce in strong Janguage the recent order of the Secretary of War Placing government troops in the Southern States, ‘with # view to intimidate and control the election. NOMINATIONS ¥OR THR GOVRRNOKSIIP, At eight o’ciock, on motion of Senator Jaeobs, the Convention went into the nomination of candidates for Governor. Erte county being called Mr. George B. Hibbard, of Buifalo, ascended the platform and proceeded to place in nomination Mr, William Dorsheimer. The speaker was received without the slightest token of ap- plauso, and when he came to announce the name of his candidate about twenty delegates clapped their hands. This was the tame demonstration with which Mr, Dorsheimer’s condidacy was first considered, Mr, Hibbard’s speech simply resulted in throwing an additional damper upon the gentleman's prospect be_ fore the Convention, When Mr. Hibbard concluded the Convention broke out into aproarious cheers for Seymour. Mr. Edward Cooper took the platform for the purpose of seconding Dorsheimer’s nomination, but the Convention would not hear him, They broke out into shouts again and again for Sey- mour, A delegate rose excitedly and moved that tho nomination of Seymour be made unanimous, The chairman declared the resolution out of order, and Mr. Cooper went on. Cries of “We want a democrat!” in- terrupted the speaker. Mr. Cooper tried to stop the tumult by stating that Seymour had positively de clined, but it was no use, KE. K. Apgar, Secretary of the State Committee, here tried to pour oil upon the troubled waters. He inti- mated that Dorsbeimer could not be crowded <lown by any uproar mterfering with tho presentation of his name, When Apgar concluded Charles W. Brooko arose and insisted upon presenting tho name of Sey- mour. He believed that no authoritative refusal had come from the distinguished gentleman. Mr. Timothy Shea, of New York, made an eloquent speech in sec- onding the nomination of Seymour. At this timo it appeared as if the machine had lost entire control of the Convention. In this emefgeacy Mr. Daniel Ma- gone, Jr., came to tho roscue, and read the despatch from Mr, Seymour, absolutely refusing to be a candidate. Cries ot *‘Then give us a democrat’ drowned his voice. Mr. Magone hero advocated Soymour, andthen immediately the adjournment of the Convention. ‘The leadors seemed to have lost their balance, and did not know what to do, Thoy evi- dently origimated the idea ot permitting Seymour's nomination and then adjourning until to-morrow morning to give the nominee a chance to send a letter of resignation, which must finally settle the question, THE CONVENTION BROUGHT TO ITS SENSES, A sensible speech by Judge Graves, of Steuben, ad- vocating peace and harmony, brought the Convention to its senses and the proceedings went on. Calvin Frost, of Westchester, made a fine speech in present- ing the name of Mr. Clarkson N. Potter. The Conven- tion received the nomination with enthusiastic cheers. Mr. A. H, Purdy’s romarks urging the gentleman's nomination op the parbof the young democrats of the Staté bad a telling effect. Mr. Kelly also made a telling speech in support af Potter. Ho put forth some strik- ing points on the candidacy of that gentleman, His prophecy that tho tickets beaded by Samuel J. Tilden would be injured by the nomination of Dorsheimer had a marked effect upon the delegates. Mr. Kelly desig- nated Potter us that elegant gentleman who had always been a democrat COMPTROLLER ROBINSON PROPOSED. Next came aspoech from Hewitt, of Chemung, who nominated Lucius Robinson, The Convention again exhibited great uneasiness, Cries of “Seymour,” “Sey- mour” filled the hall. A liberal republican, in second- ing the latest nomination, gave John Kelly a blow when ho questioned the propriety of that gentleman’s attacking the liberal republican party. He wanted to know then and there if the liberal republicans were to be ruled out by the leader of the New York demoo- racy. ANOTURE SEYMOUR OUTBREAK. Another attempt was now made by Mr. C. W. Brooks to nominate Seymour by acclamation. Mr, Apgar ad- yocated the same course, and also suggested Uhat the Convention then adjourn over until morning. The body broke into renewed confusion at this point. Senator John ©. Jacobs was called totho chair, He tried to cut the Gordian knot by declaring all matters out of order except those immediately bearing upon the subject. Mr. George M. Bocbe talked to the point of reconsidering the resolution, and stated he was one of the committee who called upon Governor Seymour at Utica to-day. In conciuding his speech Mr. Beebe expressed the opinion that although tho gentieman had positively refused to accept the nomination he (Mr, Beebe) was of the opinion that a unanimous tender would compel acceptance, The Convention was again crrrie: off its feet at this point, Cheers wero | given and hats flang in the air. MR, POITER'S OFPENDING SPEECH READ. Meetings of the warious Con- | Rufus W. Peckham, which was agreed to, Ed. Cooper, of New York, and EF. Waite, of Jefferson county, were app@nted a committee to conduct Mr. Peckham to the chair, who was received with applause, MR. PECKHAM'S SPERCH, Mr. R. W. Peckaat, on taking the chair, sai GENTLEMEN OF THE CONV ENTION—For the ais! honor which you have conferred upon te in calling we to preside over your preliminary deliberativus 1 will ex- tend to you my most heartielt thanks. It augurs weil for the democratic party as represented in this Staw Convention, that you have hit upon a gentieman to preside over your preliminary deliberations who is so entirely unfatnilar with parliamentary law as myself. It shows tus to be a harmonious, deliberative as- sembly, brought together for the purpose o! seeing what iw tO done for the best intercats, the \ruest interest of the democrauc party, * and, therefore, the best and trucst interests of the United States, (Applause.) We ure met, gentlemen, for the purpose of completing with an organized work that work which was commenced at St. Louis on the nomination of our distioguished and emiment tellow citizen, Sanuel J. Tilden—(apptause)—and it is for the purpose of placing i nomination persons for the chiet oflices of this great Empire State,.who, when nomi- nated by this Convention, are to be elecied by the peo- ple of this State, that we meet together to-day. (Ap- plause.) The first and greatest, in fact, the only need of she people of this State and of the people of the United States is for reform—applause)—reform from the President down to every man who holds a special qualified position of trast and profit in the United States; not those, as I would say, not those men who are todo merely and simply clerical work, butthose people who are to represent the ideas ot the democratic party, The ideas of relorm must of necessity be changed, or reform cannot be accomplished. (Appiauso). ‘The repablican party | Stands to-day admitting the fact, which, of courae, cannot for a moment be ‘denied, that there is great crying, imimediate necessity for yeform fn the national councils, and they state that they ure.the party to ac- comphsh it Why, they are the party and the only party who have made reform necessary; and how can they accomphsh reform in that which they have them- selves done? They bave made reform necessary, and it ig upon that theory, and that wholly, that the democratic party propose to place before the people of these States the ono grand issue, the crying necessity of the bour Why, let me read from one of the resolutions adopted by this republican party m 1872 upon this very sub- ject of reform. At their Convention held in Philadel. phia in 1872 they resolved that any system of the civil service under which the subordibate positions of the government are considered rewards for mere party zeal aro fatally demoralizivg; and we thererore favor a reforin of the system by laws which shall abolish the evils of patronage and make honesty, efficiency and fidelity, the essential qualifications for public position, practically creating a life tenure of oifice, hat was their resolution, adopted in 1872, and from that time until the House of Kepresentatives met in December last they had full and entire control of the whole national affairs, and entire and compicse con- trol to do just as they pleased in regard to the passage of those very laws which in the resolution of 1872 they say were necessury for the wolfare of tho public ser- vice, Why have they not done it? Has a single law upon that subject been introduced into either house of Congress by any authorized or accredited agent of the republican party? With full power to complete and fulfl the promises made in solemn convention assembled, they have refused, wiltully, intentionally retused to carry out one single promise contained in that resolution, and yot they say they aro the party to be trusted lor the purpose of bringing about the reform which they themselves, four years | forthe two years succeeding it bad entire power to | carry out. Does that recommend the party to the confidence of the people in any torm? And why have they not carried it out? 1 is simply and solely be- cuuse the great leaders, the controlling and guiding lights of the republican’ party, were intent that it should not be carried out. Senator Morton, of Indi- ana, would not be able to run the machine as he de- sires {ft the principles containcd in that resolution were carried out. Our own great Senator from New York, Senator Conkling, would not be able to run tho Custom Houso as it has been run if tt were car- ried out, Senator Logan, of Ihnow, Senator Chandler, of Michigan, all those gontlemen who are or were the leading, controlling lights of the republican party, were set as ono great phalanx of the party against that resolution Yet they vay :—‘Trust us; we are tor reform.” Heaven knows they need it. Wher you come to the party to act, what do you find tui party has done? Why, at this very time’ in December jast, when commerce was langyishing, trade was para- lyzed and every business man was looking into the fuce of his neighbor with fear and anxiety as to who was to fall next, the heads, the chosen chicf#of the re- publican party presented to the House ot Representa tives in December their estimates of the necessary expenses of the government for the next fiscal year, Que wundred and seventy-weven million dollars were spent’ by the _gov- ernment during the year precedimg, and th gentlemen, in the face of Ubi, acknowledged the nece sity for reforin—in the face of stagnant trade and par- alyzed industry, and as an earnest of what is to bo their kind of reform presented to the House of Repre- sentatives their financial budget, asking tor $25,000,000 more jor the expenses during the current year than were expended for the last year, That is their cbarge— their ciu:m—the earnest they give to the people of the country of their intent, their earnest intent, to reiorin the abuses of this government. ‘On the contrary, what do you tind in the domoeratic party? We find promises, and not only that, but an absolute fulfliment of the promises. (Applause), Secretary ot War asks for nearly $6,000,000 more than was expended the year previous; the Socretary of the Navy for pearly $4,000,000 additional; the’ general civii expenditures Were to bo tnereased nearly $6,000,000, aud so it goes with the others; and yet, when the democratic House of Representatives con- ironted those gentlemen, and with their committees of examination and investigation, appointed with a view ofknowing what were the real, honest necessities of tho government, these gentiemen contracted and contracted until, by practising hovesty and economy, there was a ditference of from $50,000,000 to $60,000,000 between | What was actually necessary for the government and what the republican oilicials desired; and what was to be done with it! (Appiause.) As say, this democratic House of Representatives cut down the appropriations from the year preceding, and, instead of giving 25,000,000 more, they have saved $30,000,000 to the people of the United States, and would have saved $10,000,000 more but for the republican Senate, ‘then wo Come to our own Stato with a taxation at $16,000,000 the year beiore, The people of inis State are vow to pay $8,000,000 and that through the efliciont and un- turing industry and lion-like bravery of Samuel J. Til- den. (Applause). ‘they say the debt has been reduced. That would only account for $2,000,000 of the reduction. How about the other $6,000,000? Some bow er other tuore seems to be something 1p the air of a democratic ad- ministration that brings down the cxpeuses as the coid brings down the thermometer, And yet they turn around, a8 has been claitued by the geutlemun who 1s running for Vice President of the United States on the other side, and say that there 1s a united South against the republican party, Why? [tell you, gen- tlemen of the Convention, that ‘any policy which brings out the opposition of every true minded, in- teliigent, honest white man in the South against it must necessarily be erroneous. (Applause. ) they have sent down to those States their carpet- baggers to eat out the substance ot the peopie, ant to this day taxes have been jevied to that extent that they amount almost to confiscation, When people Mr. John Keily suggested the reading of Mr. Potter’s | speech, which had been so much impugned by his enemies. Tho request was complied with and criticised passages road by the Clerk, This manly course of tak- ing the bull by the horns on the spot benefited mate- rially Mr, Potter’s candidacy, BEYMOUR NOMINATED BY ACCLAMATION. After the removal of parliamentary entanglements | into which the Convention had been placed, Mr. KE. K. Apgar, who had the sagacity to seo the temper of the Convention, for the third time went to the front and moved that Seymour be nominated for Governor by acclamation, The motion was carried amid tho great- est excitement, whem the Convention adjourned to — to-morrow morning. SVRCULATIONS ABOUT SEYMOUR, Tho Seymour excitement extends to-night to ali the | hoteis in Saratoga, Universal congratulation is ex- pressed on all sides. The democrats fecl that they | have placed in the field a candidate who will bring for- ward all tho enthasiastic cloments, now essential, ia the present canvass, The great question now remains to be solved as to Seymour's acceptance. Some claim that the gentieman caunot fail to go before tho votors of this State, in order to secure beyond peradventure the | electoral votes of New York @thers assert, however, that Mr. Seymour will not take tile nomination—that his physicians have advised him against any excite- ments or labor whatever. The committee appointed by tho Chair leave here within an hour, and will wait upon Mr, Seymour at Utica in the morning. A telographic despatch may reach thogConvention be- fore coming to order at ten o'clock, If the declination isdolayed until after the Convention adjourns, toe State Committee will have the power ot filling the yacavey, bat it is not provable that so important an answor will bo postponed beyond to-morrow morning. THR LIRUERNANT GOVRERNORSHTP, The candidates suggested to-night for Lieutenant nor are Dewitt C. West, of Lewis, ex Senator Lanning, of Erie, and Smith M. Weed, of Clinton. Mr, Manton Marble, through his friends here, re- fased to allow his name to go before the Convention. ——— PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTION, SauavToGa, August 40, 1 ‘The Democratic State Convention assembled at tho Town Hall at twelve o'clock M The galleries wore filled with spectators, among whom were many ladies.

(Applause.) The republican party bas sanc- tioned i, and Whon it has thus sanctioned traua and robbery there can be no question but white mon will resist if possibie. (Applause) Therefore, when they speak of a united South against the republican purty, who made it united? Whose fault is it that the South stand out against that party? Whose fault ts it unless it be the fault of those gentiomen in power for tho t sixteen years? They havo themselves and them- | seives aione accomplished this result. The only way, gentlemen, We can accomplish what we came bere to do—the only thing we ure to do— is to «nominate =n man for the _ottice | of Governor who will add strength, who will give in teiligence and give force to the curreut which has now set 1p In favor of reform, which i# the necessity of the | bour..

And tational reform in public exponditures can oly be achieved in one way. It nveds a change in the ad- minisiration in order that we may have a change of inensures and of men. have conierred upon me, of the Convention, THR SECRETARIES. Mr. McQuaps, of Oneida, moved that F.

The question recurring on Mr, Bunn’s resolution that the chair appoint the Committee on Contested Seats, it was adopted, Mr. Craic, of Kings, moved that the Chair appoint a Cotwmittee on Resolutions, to consist of one from each Congressional district.

I present the pune of Willian Dorsheuner for the oflice of Governor of the State of New York. GREAT CONFUSION, Mr. Coorer, of New York, arose, but he was inter- rupted by cries of “Seymour,” und great confusion prevailed, 1m which there were cries of “Give us a democrat” and “Seymour, Seymour.’’ (Great con- fusion.) Several delegates rose and attempted to addross the Chair, but the,contusion rendered it impossible to pro- ceed. Mr. Cooper was on tbe platform vainly waiting an opportunity to be heard for several minutes, Mr. Kixseota arose und shouted, ‘in the name of Horatio Seymour, let the gentleman be heard.’ Fiwally order was partially restored, aud Mr. Coors suid Governor Seymour had been written to by Mr. Dorsheimer himsel!, who urged him to accept tho | nomination, but he peremptorily declined. He then proceoded to second the nomination of Mr. Dorsheuner, it was interrupted with cries of “Potter,” “Brooks,” ‘Potter,’ ‘Potier.”” Mr. Cooper retiring, Mr. ArGam took the piatform, and eaid he stood there tn the interest of fair play and a decent Convention. Whether you gevtlemon ta- vored one candidate or not itis your duty to give a hearing tothe presentation of all names, He said that the candiducy of Mr. Dorsuetmer wouki be in- jured by no disorderly proceedings or unfairness, Wo ‘are here to make the best nomination we can, so as to | nominate a candidat ave our State elect our ticket.

(Cueera.) It would be folly to nominate any other man at this | time. Let us be frank and acknowledge that the re- publicans have nominated a strong man, and let us meet him in the name of God and the democratic party, by nominating Horatio Seymour. (Great cheers. ) Mr. MaGons, Jr., said be yielded to no man in rever once to Horatio Seymour, but when Mr. Seymour had told his trusted friend Francis Kergan that he cannot accept the nomination, then he asked the Convention if tt should not deliberate on the substitution of another name.

HORATIO SEYMOUR, (Cries of “Then give us another democrat.) Now, gentlemen, should you not look for another candidate?

He, therefore, moved the unanimous nomination of Horauo Sey moar und would then move an adjournment to ten o'clock to-morrow morning in order-tu give the Clair- man Ume to communicate that nomination to Mr. Sey- mour and get bis answer. Mr. MaGoyg suid he would second that motion, Ou includ'ng the motion to adjourn to ten o'clock to- morrow moruing, Mr, FACLKXER said his motion was firet in order to nomimute Horatio Seymour by accia- mation, Hoe had made nv motion to adjourn, ‘The Citar decided that the motion was out of order while «nother candidate’s name was before the Con- vention.

Potter. (Prolonged applause. His enemies cannot criticize Lis character. His politic conduct will bear the inspection of Lis enemies, and let me say right here—for no doubt it will be discussed afterward—that what he did in relation to the letter on the imvestigatton of the alfurs of our weveral States was a hypothetical case as to what should be done in the future. There was no political crime 1 that, It was an opinion of his own which he bad arightto give. There was no question to be de+ cided before Congress When Vat statement was made, Yhero was no ease of tho kind; bat it only referred to what might take piace in the future, Let me say to you this: I believe be is the most available ‘candidate that can be pre- sented to this State outside of Horatio Seymonr. You are told then that Horatio Seymour caunot take this nomination, Then I trust you will consider well what you will do here $0 as not to en. danger the election of your candidates for President and Vico President, You have been told that the ree publican party have nominated their strongest candi- date, 1 believe that they have, and it needs a man who thnderstandes a political canvass, who has had long experience in political campaigns, to defeat him. It there are a few liberal republicans lott, the gentlo- man I have named is just the man to bring them back to the ranks of their party again, You have to depend upon your own solection In the case, Give the State a man who 18 Known as a democrat; whose character is unimpeachable 1 any particular, and wiose loyalty the democratic party hag tested in several instances, and we shail suces .

COMPTKOLLER ROBINSON. Mr. Huuwrr, of Chemung next addressed the Conven- tio, He said the St, Louis Convention had declared for an aggressive campaign, and be wanted this Con- vention to nominate aman who could be depended upon to ferret out corruption and produce reform. He wanted a wan who would strengthen the hands of Samuel J. ‘Tilden, who would not be a burden but a source of strength to the nomination of Mr. Tilden. Such a man was Lucius Robinson. (Applause, followed by eries of “Brooks” as Mr. Huiett took bis seat.) Mr. Buxy, of Otsego said he appeared before the Conv on as a liberal republican, (Applause) Ifthe Liberals were to be ostracized there he wanted to know it (Crivs of “Order."’) He said he wanted to tell this Cony John Coctirane could not sell or give away republicans, Ho bad acted with the democratic "party in good faith since 1867. He was there to act with it stil, He was there to second tho nomination of thht pure and hovest stavesman—Lucius Rovinson. This Convention could not affora to put in nomination a man who would be put o2 Lis defence all throagh the cuwpaign, aman who has a record which the republicans can attack and claim to have advocated the rights of secession, Waero is the man who cap poll the full democratic vote and the liberals’ (Seymour declining) like Robinson, (Applause. ) Mr. GkIsWoLb, of Greene, said among all the names presented here he recognized one as the peor ofall. A gentleman who, though not now a resident of Greene county, Was sull a native of Greene county. That county not only in peace but in war always rolled up a good democratic majority. He closed by seconding Mr. Rebinson’s nomination. MORE TALK ABOUT SEYMOUR, Mr. Cuaxuus W. Brooxx, of New York, moved that the Convention proceed to nominate under the motion of General Faulkner, naming Mr. Seymour by acclam- ation, Mr. Apgar said that motion was declared out of or- der, because the Convention was already acting under the resolution to proceed to the presentation o1 candi- dates, He moved to reconsiger the vote adopting that resolution, with a view to renewing Mr. Faulkner's notion. Let us endeavor to remember that we are all democrats, seoking the welfare of tho party; that we owe it to each othor that personal feelings bo waive and to act with deliberation, 1¢ was not wise to acl hastily. He favored Seymour's nomination and an adjournment until to-morrow tnorning. (Criea of “No,” *no.”) Ha (Mr, Apgar) was not very old, but he bad seen fre. quentiy, when action was taken without deliberation, it was found to have been too hasty and to be Ill-ad- vised and inurious He thought it would be best ta nominate Horatio Seymour aud then adjourn wantil to- morrow. Mr. Jacous, having been called to tho chair, said the Convention had advpied a resolution to proceed to jor Governor, and be would nob entertain any question not relative to the subject men- toned 1n the resoviution. Mr, Buxne, of Sullivan, inquired if a resolation had not becu made to reconsider that rosolution, The Cuaik replied that he had been iufurmed such @ motion had been made, and that was (he question now , beiore the convention and Mr. Beeve had the tloor, Mr. Been said he was not there tn the interest of any particular candidate, but only to secure a good cans didate. He had just come trom an mterviow with a gentloinen who Was, perliaps, tho greatest statesman now living im this country, and while there were those who understood thas that mun, Horatio Seymour, would uot allow the use of his name jor binscif, he believed that 1f be was nominated here by acclamation he would accept and consent to serve. (Groat applause aud Jong conunued cheering.) Horatio seymour had not the right to refuse the use of bis name, (Applause.) He might not be in order, but bh would ask the Ciair to ask the Convention to ent tain the motion of General Faulkner by unanimous consent, the Carr replied that, by the power of ananimous consent, Which 1 was im order to ask, this Convention could do anything. Mr. LY rose for explanation, and arked to have read a portion of the spevch of Clarkson N, Potter, which had been referred to as sustaining the doctrine of States rigits, for the purpose of showing that it did not sustain the charge.
