Raratoa, K. Y.,Sapt. 25. There were fully as many ladies and prominent person age present in the Casino at half-part 11 Isursday morning to witness the proceed ings of the Democratic state convention as attended the opening of the Republican con vention. At 11:45 o'clock the county Democracy band station! in a galUry op- eaite taw sMakerVohair discoursed national airs to the edification of all present. From 11:80 o'clock the building was literally packed. As the delegate entered the hall they were each handed an "Address f the Merchant and Business Men of lSew York City," reciting that they believe Governor Hill has been faithful to the premise in his mes sage to the legislature ef 1885. to "make an effort to give to the whole people the bless ings eta pure, eoonenncal and wiaely ad ministered government, conducted on busi- prino.piea. They therefore urge his reaomlnatiea. A circular warning the Democracy of the state ef New York against renominating Seuni O'Brien for the of&ce of attorney general, was also generously distributed among the delegates. It alleges "Chat he ha shown himself to be an enemy of the business men of our principal cities, who will, it he is again a candidate, organize to defeat him at the polls." As the better known leaders ef the party iled into the hall, their appearance was (reeted by applause from spectators who raoegaiced Roger A. Pry or and F. P. Spin as they came in arm in arm. Uen. Aokle, dignihed and soldierly, in spins of his crutches, was a conspicuous figure. Burke Cochran, Commissioner Crocker aad Comptroller Loew, sat together in the Mew York delegation just in front of the chair- an. Atl:30 p. m. Chairman John O'Brien of Ike state eommittee called the convention to order and aominated George Raines of Monroe, for temporary chairman. That gentleman was ehrxwn by acclamation, and was at unce ecurted to the ohair. Alter tiiaukuig tie convention for the favor he said: By the logio of events, the Democratic pary o( New York has centered the observ ation of the people of the whole country for many years. Tua moral and political foroes hii-a nave challenged the favor of tne Aniern.au people have been created and fos tered by Detnucratte officers of our stabs government. Rigid application of the oun biitulional provisions against special legis lation, the stern n ot the vefc power to cut err the extravagance of Republican bgiilacure-, the prosecution of plnu iuiei'S of public funds without egard to station, or political tuBuence, the reduction of expenses in every uspurtinont of government and public works, and the declaration by every omcial act that, public otti -e wa . a trust of power for public, nt private, advantage, created tti overwhelming sentiment thatnominatod and elected Governor Tiliien as president steadfast regard for these standards of pub lic duly Dy uovernors nooinson ana i.ieve lana kept the sentiment of 1876 living and powerful ani drew the moral force of American politics to the aid of Democracy in lsttt. This leadership o national Demo cratic thought gives to your deliberations the gravest importance. He then criticised the speeches and action of the Republican convention which he said ware made and taken "forgetting that the nation had sounded taps for the orgies of Horsey Republicanism and that an indig nant people had demanded of the grand old party the robes of office and keys of the trea-ury full to over flowing: forgetting that the memories uf ba.tles fought for a union of hands and heart , of holy sacrifices of blood in the cause of humanity had been by a supreme decree forevor lifted from Uie controversies of pai tisans, to be venerated by mankind; forgetting that the creat war eiiieftain had laid his lame upon the hiart of a reunited people to feel its throb when mausoleums crumble. He then continued as follows: The thought of 1S78, of the patriotic, but shame. ul surrender of the pidiihmcy for the peatw ot the people c uld not again be enaurnu py a I roe people, ine lerriote euergy of purpose warned the conspirators of fraud to desist, and in the course of months, a presi lent of the model of Jeffer son and of the faitn aud conviction of Tilden was inaugurated. When U ivernor Cleveland was called by the suffrages of the people to his high office there came to the ollice of Governor, David R. Hill, a Democrat. In every department of bis duties be has been watchful of public inter. e.,ts, laborious in impressing Democratic ideas upon the policies of the state. We can n ii.iy less to-day of this Democratic ad ministration than that it takes rank besid e that of his Democratic predecessors as worthy of the party and of the dignity of the Kiuplre state. At the conclu-lon ot Mr. Raine's speech the temporary organization was perfected hy the appointment of Fhilo H. Backus. James hi Morrison, William 8. Andrews, Thomas T. Gilroy, J. M. Cloak, C. J. Ereisher, and F. C. Schroub as secretaries. The roll was then called and the prominent names were received with applause. The rules of the legislative assembly were adopted as those of the convention. A mo tion by A. B. Parker to refer all resolutions to the committee on resolutions without de bate ware adopted. On motion of Burke Cochran it was voted to permit a representative of the anti-m - nopoly league to take a seat upon the plat form and address the convention, aud similar privilege wa extended to Ge ir;e Blair, chairman of the sub-committee of the states trades assembly and his associates. Dr. Ferdinand Seegur, chairman of the state Anti-Monopoly committee, was thera- unon introduced to the convention. He very briefly thanked the body, and expressed the bo that bis party's claims would be recognized in the platform. Hon. George Blair then addressed the convention in the interest of the trades assembly. He urged the introduction of planks in the platform em bodying the wishes of workingmen in re' gard to child labor, convict labor, hours of labor, state printing bureau, tenement- house cigar making, etc He intimated that the Republican platform was full of mere generalities which did not satify the labor party. A resolution that soldiers and sailors, hon orably discharged from military or naval service on account of wounds or sickness should haue priority in examinations aud appointments nnder the civil service laws was offered and referred to the committee on resolutions. A resolution instructing the committee on resolutions to give a hearing to Hon. H. B. 8charmann, president of the state Brewers' association, was adopted. The selection of committees on contested seats, permanent organization, and resolu tions than began, the roll being called and the chairman of each delegation naming one member oa each committee. At S:la the convention adjourned until 7:80 n. m. All signs point to the nomination of Hill on the first ballot, and the best opinion seem to concede that such will be the re sult Among the resolutions offered were soma etrong ones against the civil service laws by Burke Coohran, .who was loudly applauded upon offering them. KVENINQ SESSION. j Sarauato, Sept. 25 The five hours elapsing between the close of the after noon and the opening of the evening ses sion were occupied by the leading, dele gates in looking' after the interests of their respective candidates. The ball was densely crowded when the hour for the evening session arrived, fully one half of the spectators were ladies. 1 be delegates were all in their seates at 7:30. half an hour after the appointed time. Tempor ary Chairman Raines called the conven tion to order. The committee on contested seates re ported recommending that the contesting and regular delegations from West Ches ter be both admitted with half vote for each, also that the contesting delegation from Chautaqua be admitted as the right ful delegation. The contest in Livingston county was reported as having been set tled and withdrawn. The report was adopted . The committee on permanent organiza tion reported that the temporary Chairs man Hon. Oeo. Raines, be made perma nent chairman. This was agreed to with applause. The list of vice presidents, one trom each congressional district was also reported and agreed to. James E. Mor rison was chosen reading secretary. Thos. F. Gilroy, W. J. Kreischer, O. Backus, Wdj. S. Andrews, Jaa. M. Cook, record ing secretaries, and a list of honorary secretaries, one from each district; other permanent officers being agreed on. Hon. D. Cady Herick, from the committee on resolutions, stated that the committee had been unable to complete the report and requested to be allowed until 10 a. m. tomorrow. There were murmers of dis approval from all over the hong;. Senator Ificclesine of INew iork, moved that the convention proceed at once to nominate candidates for governor and lieutenant governor. A. sharp discussion followed and a motion to adjourn was lost. Ayes 148, nays 23H. This vote was considered significant as a test of GOV. hill's strength in the convention. Action then recurred on the motion to proceed to nominate candidates for governor and lieutenant governor. The mover accepted an amend ment striking out lieutenant governor. Tbe motion was then made to still furths er amend to the effect that the convention proceed to nominate a candidate for gov ernor and that ballot thereon be post poned until this morning at 10 o clock. A general dissent immediately went out and there were cries "no, no." Considerable disscussion followed, it being claimed on one hand that haste at this time of the night would cause dissension in making up the remainder of the ticket after gov ernor and on the other hand that it was only intended to nominate a candidate for governor, thus giving until today to agree on the remainder of the ticket, spmola then moved the previous question on the motion to ballot for governor. There was a demand for the ayes and nays on this motion and the roll call was again gone through with. It resulted yeas 240, nays 139. On the main question the demand for ayes and nays was again made and again the call of roll began. It was in terrupted this time by several impatient democrats, some moving to adjourn, and others to suspend tbe call, and proceed to ballot. The chair ruled everything out of order except the finishing of the call. The main question was ordered by a vote of 270i ayes, 109. nays. NOMINATING SPEECHES. J. E. O'Conner, of Chemung, arose to nominate Gov. Hill and as soon as he mentioned his name the convention burst forth in wild yells and cries of "He's our next governor. Mr. O Connor spoke briefly in naming his candidate for the first place on the ticket. The nommtion was seconded by Daniel Look wood of Buffalo, Senator Ec clesine and Bourke Cochrane of Isew York and several others. Col. J. R. Fel lows of the county democrats of New York nominated Abram 9. Hewitt, saying however in the course of his remarks that he knew there was no chance for his nom inalion by the convention. A ballot was then taken. The county democracy voted for Mr. Hewitt, who also got a few other scattering votes, the bal lot was announced as follows: Total vetes 380; necessary for choice. 191 ; Hill 830, Hewitt 33, Slocum 8 Flower 1. Tbe re sult was received with great demonstra tions of applause, and shortly after mids night the convention adjourned until 11 o'clock this morning. DAVID B. HILL. David B. Hill, of Elmira, the dem ocratic candidate for governor of New York, was born in Havana, Hchuyler County, then Chemung county, on Au gust 29, 1844. and was educated at the academy in that town. In 1870 he was elected to the state assembly and 1871 be was re-elected. Hill served one term in the Elmira common council. At the ex piration of his term in 1882, be was elect ed mayor of tbe city. In September 1882 he was nominated for lieutenant- gov ernor on the democratic state ticket and was elected at the election in November Gov. Cleveland's election to the presi' dencv raised him to governor. For a num ber of years Mr. Hll was protrietor of the Elmira Gazette. The governor is a bachelor. EDITORIAL REMARKS. New York, Sept. 23. The World said editorally today: "In state politics Oeo. Hill is a disciple of President Cleveland He trained under Mr. Cleveland as his lieutenant for two years while the latter was governor and with a few exceptions he has earned out Mr. Cleveland s policy, while acting as his successor. In the election of 1882 when Hill was chosen lieutenant governor bis majority was 186.781. being 4,000 larger than his chief." flower nominated. Saratoga, Sept. 25. 830 p.m. Special Ros well P.
