Sssex county's delegates, who were de- olared to be Hill men, it seoms flopped back to the support of Weed. The chairman said that Mr. Weed and his six delegntes might meet wnd presont a list of delegates and the convention would decide between them. This maae young Weed smile, for he real- fzed that ho would have no show with the convention, and ho persisted in his right to participato'in a meoting of all the delogates of the district. Ljsutenant Governor Shee. han camo to the rékeue of the chairmau and advised that tho’conference bo allowed, though he said he had no hope for an agree- ment. The lieutenant (governor was right, for young Mr, Weed announced that his_ efforts had been futilo. Tho committeo having aunounced At 2:50 o'elock the convention took revess until 3:30 o'clock. Blocker hall was as crowded .as at tho morning sossion when Chairman Bobee called the afternoon session to order at 4:20. The repott of the committeo on contested seats favored the seating of sitting delogates in the contested cases in Albany and Chau tauqua. The Oswego contest was with- drawn and the report was adopted. Sickles Speaks for Wil The report of the committee on vormanent organizaticn was presented and adopted General Daniel E. Sickles was made perm nent chairman, and when ho was introduced by Chairmun Bebeo he was given an ovation. General Sickles swid the democracy of New York and tho nation approached the presi dential campmien of 1892 with o deep senso of responsibility, imposed on them by the signal victories of 1800 and 1501 He could not fail to sce that the macifost purpose of the peoplo of this country was to distiss the republican party from further control of the federal governmont. Tho state of Now York tad often had the grand fortune to bo hon- orod by the choico of ono of its citizens as the cliampion of the national democracy. 1f again invited by their comrades in other states to but forward a candidate for the chiof magistrey of the nation, they were prepared to_ask their suffrages for n states- man whoso record already placed him in tho group mado illustrious by thie namos of Van 3uren, Wright, Marcy, Seymour and Tilden, Thoy &hould present” tho whoso banner was mscribed with many victories and under which the damocracy of Nuow York never had been and never will be defented—tho leader who was electod to tho senato of the United States without tho ex- penditurc of a dollar; a loader loved bocw tho enemics of the democratic party b und feared him; o leader in whom the veteran soidiors had always found n steadfast friend @ lendor whoso success was always tho trlumph of his varty ; a leader whose clection to the presidency of the United States would givo to the people ar_administration guidod by the principles, the traditions ot Jefferson and Jackson. James W. Ridgeway of Kings county next handed up the report of the committce on resolutions, The paper constituting the con- vention’s piatform is as follows : “The democratic party of the state of New York, in convention assembled, renews the pledgo of its lidelity to the great cause of tariff reform and to the whole democratic faith and tradition as_afirmed in our na- tional platform from 1870 to 1858, as well as in our state platform _coucurrent with the opening of Governor Tilden’s brief and to the ciose of Governor Hill's long, thrice ap- proved and altke illustrious sorvice fn v chief magistracy of the Empire state.

Whec the passage lnstructivg for David B, hill was read the air was shaken by an outburst that made the bunting quiver, sna when the resolutions were uunanimously adopted the cheers broke forth ugain and subsideda only when Colonel Jobn R. Fellows rose (u bis place near the front of the Tam- mauy delegation and moved that a committes be delegated to wait upon Senator Hill and request bim tu apper before and uddross the convention. 5 While this committee was on its way, Sec. retary of State Rice hasded up the report of the committee to which was eotrusted the P 0n of the list of uational delegates and alternates-at-large und by aistricts. ‘Then the band felt a murmur and saw the white sea of faces turned backward toward the entrances and the strains of a stirriu, #ir broke out from the throats of brass in tion of the | struments. The murmur arew in volume and at last three moving figures were seon pushing through the crowd at the end of the aislo and the pale face of Senator il was discovered. They came to a standing posi tion, Kvery man on the floor and many of the ladies in boxes were on thelr feet waving handkerchiofs, The din died only of exhaus- tion, as Mr. Hill upon the arn of Colonel Fellows walked down tho aisie. Com ing fairly upon tho stage, Mr. | Hill shook bands with Ceneral Sickles, removed his overcoat, took from one of his pockets his spoech in printed copy and waited for the applause to subside. When silence bad como on the throng, General Sickles leaning upon his crutch waved his right hand toward Mr. Hill, saving: I | present to you, gentleman of this convention, the young Hickory of the democracy, our | next presidortial candidate, David B. Hill.” Then came moro cheers and added din and Mr, Hill stood waiting, his face vory palo and one hand tightly grasped in nervous tension. Atlength the noise subsided aud Senator Hill spoke, saying: What “The Yo g Hickory™ “Fellow democrats: Your summoning me to this presonce, prised me of the unanimous mako known your approval of me to _author- ized rapresentatives of democracy of tho United States and which ~ will bo rocorded in tho annals of our national conventio: shall I acknowledge this official act, my fel- low democrats, which, instead of poiating to some new untried career, might aptly reward and crown tho labors of the longest life! from that great cardinal whose ‘Lead Kindly Light' has touched the garb of all Christendom, let my gratitude humbly bor row this worthier response thaa I myself coula voice to the great democracy whom you represent. My respect for them obliges tme to submit myseit for their praise as to a grave and emphatic judgment of act, which it would bo rude to quostion, unthankful not to bo proud of and_impossiblo ever to foreet. “The reawakening of democracy ail over tho land s the most auspicious sign of the times, When the people of the United States rose against oppression a hundred years ago it meant revolution, & change of rulers and a social earthquake. When the democracy of America arises today, it means an upheaval at the ballot box, a change of tho political forms. “T'his is a government of, by and for tho peo. ple. When you sce the farmers arousing and all aliied; when you see tho foderations of labor stirring; when you soo in evory state the great demooratic “party up and afoot, it means that the reign of plutocrats is nearly over and the bright day of democracy is hastening to glorions dawn, The usa of political parties is to promoto tho expression of the people’s mandates. The function of statesmen is to frame and execute the same by just and equal laws, The democratic party has this proud record. It was swift in response to the people’s needs. It makes choice of safo and wise statesmon to guide by tho statutory landmarks of the people’s progress and refeaso their enerzies to o Iarger liborty. Democracy is progress and liberty is its vital mr, Dew Constitutions self-imposed safogu my volce cowd roa ald, committes, have an- craey’s Mission, nd laws are the voluntary vds of governmont. 1f h every fireside in the land this1s what I would ask my fellow citizons to consider. All our troubles, all our dangers at this very hour, follow from unconstitutional legislation by the very men who sit in shivering fits over what the democracy will do with power. On the othor hand the democratio party would see all broad principles based upon . people’s will, The repubiican party neither trusts the peo- ple nor obeys them. It now requires such an thor upheaval at the ballot box as that of 1890 to bo convinced that the wicked work of the billion dollar congress must be repealed and the people’s will obeyed. Fellow demo- crats, [ rejoice to know by thoso infallible signs, by the ground swell, by the re-awak- ening of democratic hosts, by tho arousal of high and noble young ambitions through our land, that we ‘are advancing to a cordial union and an overwhelming triumph.” Continuing Mr. Hill said: ‘‘The Sherman silver law now transforms the federal coin- age power of silver and gold into an instreu ment for the gradual expulsion of our gold, for the establishment of an exclusive basis and for the permanent reduction of every Ameriean dollar by 30 per cent or more below the level of its truo value during the whole period of our freo bimetallic coinage from 1872 to 1883, Shall such a law stan There has been no such legislation for freemen since Cromwell called the law of England a ‘tortuous und ungodly jumble.’ The demand for repeal of these edicts of the biilion-dollar congress has extorted from republican leuders their pub- lished purpose to refuse repeal. Touches on Tariff Reform. Repeal is not a proposal to stop at the tar- iff of 1853 as a fiualty. My lauguage ex- pressly barred out that absurd idea. More- over, with the tariff of 1583 as the law of the land, in the hour of our defeat three years ugo, 1 said here in Albany, ‘the democratic party nails to the mast the flag of tariff re- form.’ Tariff reform will remain and require progressive solution with the wise and poli- tic method of abolishing, whonever practic uble, one after another, one indefensible tax ava ume, until the MoKinley laws today are replaced by the tariff of 1883. Ido not flinch from tne advance line of entrenchment which tho democrats of New York have won, kept and will guard. I do mnot shirk a deadly grapple with the republican rovolutionists, whose bahuers no longer fly the tariff of 1883, but fly the mad McKinle laws: ana. tho wild Shorman Tnw and mook us from the citadels of power. “Tho cause of tariff reforin has lately made a great practical advance. Secretary Man- ning 1n his last report of 1550 ad sised con- gress to begin practical tariff reform by a single act—an act for free wool, an nct ur- taxing the clothing of about 60,000,000 poople. One year later, in 1837, the secretary’s report was “writ large’ in a message of the presi- dent. Now, five years later, one of our most enlightened economists, Davia A, Wells, writes to the chairman of ways and means that the path of progress which Secrotary Mauning blazed first is the true path. Ii1s a maxim of sound policy, better fitted to_win elections than to luse them. Bettor divide into easy chapters the lesson of o long campaign of education, Abolish, whenever you can, one after another, one 1n- dofensible tax at a time, This is true pro- gross. In the success of Our cause we may now be bettor assured.” The spnech was cheered loudly at its close, and the band played, “Three Ciicers for the Red, White and Blue.” ‘Thie motion to edjourn came qoickly then, and the conyention, at 5:30 p. m., adjourned sino die. WL CK THE BOS: Antl=Hill Men Organize and Address the Democriats of the State, Arsaxy, N, Y., Feb, 22.—In the recoss in- torim of the stato convention at Blooker hall, the anti-winter convention men gathered at Union hall on Bagle street, only a block from the exccutive manslon. At 2:30 Hon. Charles S. Fairohild, as chairman of the cowmitte e of fifty, calied the meeting to order and submitted a statement in the nature of & report as chalrman of that com- mittee. Ho suid the committes, in pursuance of the {nstructions given at tuo Cooper union mass moeting in New York, requested the state central committeo to dissolve the convention callea for this day and the committes had decllned. Io anticipation of such action by the state committee the mass meeting had instructed the com- mittee of fifty o take such measures as might seom udyisablo to secure a proper reprosentation of democracy of the stato at the Chicago convention. Coatinuing, he said: “Your work of today will, I bellove, be such that you will moet agaln with count’ loss thousands of your fellow democrats in- spired with bigh purposes and high hopes 1or our beloved party." Bossed by the Machine, Mr. Pairohild presonted Mr. Locke of Buf- falo as chairman. He said, on taking the chair: “In the history of parties it becomes necessary fur good citi- zens Lo assert and maintalu their rights, Such an occasion now confrouted the democracy of New York. Its orgapization bad been sgized by unscrupujous repre- sentatives of a more faction and had been used as an istrumeut to frustrate the will of majority.” In couclusion he urged such action as would be & retiection of true de- #ires of true democracy of the state. Mr. £ Ellery Anderson was called upon and made a stirring speech which was fre- quenuly lnterrupted by applause. Followiag bis spoech an address Lo the democrats of Lhe state was read as follows : To ThE DeMocRATIO BLECTORS OF THE vote which | With whet terms | 4 THE OMAHA Srare or Nuw Yong: The present dem oratic state committoo was apoointed by the swate convention of 1801, I controlling membership was secured at that convention by the admission of numerous ircegular con- tasting delogations, and by the exciusion of delegates rogularly elected by the majority of democratic votors, The state committee has complete conirol over the machinery by which delogates may obtain seats in the con- ventlon. [t oxercises absolute jurlsaiction in making up the preliminary roll which de. terminos the membership of the committes on contosted seats, The experience of 1301 has taught you that no matter how comple: the vote may bo in caucuses, in the assembly district conventions, if the resuit is not sat- isfactory tho delegates choson by the demo. cratic ciectors will be set aside iu favor of a delegation having no shadow of right except subserviency to the state committes. Usago of the Party Recited, All the issues involved in the ponding campaign are of the uimost gravity. Theso issues are tarift reform, by which is meant a radical revision of the tariff, in accordance with the principles of tho platforms of 1876 and 1888, and bonest monay, by which is meant the 'proservation at all times of an_equality of intrinsic values of our gold and silver cur rency. All the democeatio elootors of t stato are eutitled to bo fairly represonted in & _convention calied to decliro tho sentiment of the stato on theso 1ssios and its preference as to the standard bearer best quaiified to secure their trium phant vindication at tho polls. The uniform democratic nsage for the past twenty years, by which the quadrennial con ventions to elect presidontial delegatos have been tield not_earlier than the middle of the month of April, has bocore so established as to have the force of party taw. It is the duty of party officials to follow the usages of their party, and to call conyentions in the accustomed manner. The action of the state committes i suddenly calling a convention | in mid-winter in the interest of a particulur candidate denios to the elactors the full and fait representation to which they are on- titled, For the first timo i the history of party wo find the state committoo enlistod in tho causo of n favored candidate who shrinks from submitting his casoto tho tostof a free and full vote of domou 1t has used its powers for the avowed purpose of serving his personal ambition instoad of affording to all tho democratio electors an oqual and fair opportunity to exprees their preferenc both as to the issues and candidates, It has bocoine the instrument of a faction iustead of bewg tho represontative -of the wholo Darty. Must Ignore tho Machinery, The welfaro of party, both in this state and in the nation demands that all the demo cratic electors bo equally heard and rep sentod.

To ubolish the res ervation beforo you had taken cure of the Indiaw either by estahlishing nim on a home and teachiug him 1o be self-supporting or by making bim a herder or giving bim tome other employment, would be like turning out a flock of sheep without shepherds, ete.

Mr. Monroe, the chairman of the comnit- tee, stated thut the objection to the ordinauce was that it robbed the Seventh ward of hy- drants and brought them into tho heart of the city. The recora shows that the ordinance, bad it passed, would have resulted in the removal of seven hydrants from the First ward, six from the Second, two from the Fifth and cleven from the Seventh ward. At the samo timo it would have causea the location of threo hydrants in the First ward, fourin the Second, two in the Third, thirtcen in the Fourth and four in the Fifth, A glance at the map shows that the con templated removals were all from tho out- skirts of the city, in isolated and sparscly sottled districts. Mr. Monroc raised another objection and saia that the committee had not looked over the ground, but would witkin the pext month. In company with the chief of the fire department he would visit all portions of the city and decide what ydrants could ba relocated without inflicting any injary upon portion of the city. In his opinion there at least 100 hydrants that could be re- located, as there were that many that wero useless on account of being 4 long distance from any residence or business house. - Ha bad sonic doubts about the council having authority to take out hydrants on whict the city was paying o rental of $60 por annum and relocating thom as intermo- diato hydrants on which the rental would bo but §10 per annum, the price stivulated in the charter granting the franchise Lo tho water works company. Mr. Monroe stated that when he had made up his mind upon these ruinls lLe would report an ordinance re- ocating all of tho useless hydrauts iu the city. Mr. Elsasser looked at the matterin an altogothor difforent light. Ho had taken legal ndvice upon the subject of the reloca- tion of firo hydrants and was positive that tho city had o legal right to go into auy portion of “tho city and take up useless hydrants for the purpose of relocating them, providea the new location was upon the line of somo existing water main, In ordering out hydrants no partiality had been shown to ward any parucular ward. The Seventh ward would have 10st the most hydrants had tho ordinance passed, but thoy would have been taken froin plices whers thoro were no houses and would not be during tho noxt five years unless the city had an unprecedented growth. The ides was to bring mostof the hydrants into tho business portion of the city for the purpose of affording better fire protection to the business men and their property. They were not 1o be located on street corners, but on alley lines where they would be known as intermediate nydrants on whicn the city would pay an aunual rental of §10 per angum. The city had that kind of a contract with the water works company and thero was nothing to prevent such a removal. Mr. [Blsasser had higurea on the cost of re. moving and resetting hydrauts. It wouid be from $10 1o $15 for each hydrant, whic would nclude the expense of digging out, hauling to the pew locatiou, resetting and connecting with the mains,” Had the ordi- nance passed, on the twenty-six hydrants tho city would bave saved #910 the fivst yeur, as the reutal in the now location would have amounted to but £260 insteud of §1,500 as in their presont locations, The expense of set- ting would ot have been moro thun 60 at the most The city, Mr, Elsasser said, bad sct a num bor of intermediute hydranis alone the alieys on Sixteontn street and the water works company bud acquiesced by accepting §10 per annum reutuls, I the hydrants were trans- planted along water mains on which no hyd rants bad been set, the city would be liuble for vhe 0 per anuum routal, but in this ¢ no sueh locations were contempluted by ordinance, - NEWS OF ¥ Now Orly tlon. tudy.
