To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In oppos- ing the old ticket several delegates extended their hostility only to Bigelow ; others included the attorney-general. Only a few demanded an entire change. But Tammany and the Canal ring tactfully combined these various elements with a skill never before excelled in a State convention. Their programme, sugar-coated with an alleged affection for Til- den, was arranged to satisfy the whim of each delegate, while Robinson's policy, heavily freighted with well doing, encountered the odium... of a third-term ticket. Nevertheless, the Governor's control of the chairmanship assured him victory unless Hill yielded too much. But Kelly was cunning and quick. After accepting Hill with- out dissent, he introduced a resolution providing that the convention select the committee on contested seats. To ap- point this committee was the prerogative of the chairman, and Hill, following Cornell's bold ruling in 1871, could have re- fused to put the motion. When he hesitated delegates sprang to their feet and enthroned pandemonium.
