NEW YORK DEMOCRATS.
After the second ballot was taken
for governor In the Democratic convention at
Syracuse on the 22d inst, most animated
scene took place. The candidates voted for on
the second ballot were: slocum, Cleveland,
Homer, Nelson, Belmont, Campbell and Hutch
ings, with no choice. A stampede then CON-
menced for Cleveland. The entire TammaDy
delegation voted for him. and various delega-
tons asked to change their votes. The floor
of the convention was full of delegates stand
ing in the seats and in the aisle, DESTROYS OF
being recorded for Cleveland. The scene
baffied description. voice called for the
unanimous nomination Of Cleveland. The
Kings county delegation attempted to stem the
tide by having their names called again and
voting solid for Slocum. The Slocum meu
secured some changes In favor Of their candi-
date and called strenuously for another call of
the roll. Senator Jacobs toos the fioer and
said any result attained in this way would not
give satisfaction. he therefore moved new
roll call. Angry delegates instantly moved up
In front and the convention was taken out Of
the control OF the chairman. Some cried "roll
CALL" others announce the vote" and not
few in violent language demanded they be
given their rights without indicating wherein
they were wronged. Such scene has not
often been witnessed and for time 1t was
doubtful what would be the end. Chairman
Faulkner declared he was unable to proceed.
He attempted TO speak several times but could
not make himself heard. During a lull in
the storm he was able to put Senator Jacobs
motion for a new roll call and declared the
motion lost on viva voce vote. On this the
call of the roll was demanded and tbs secretary
proceeded to call the names of delegates, an
nouncing at the same time that ii was for the
purpose OF deciding whether or not a new
ballot should be- taken before the announce
ment of the result OF the third ballot. After
SEINE time ii became evident that the vote
would DO almost entirely In the affirmative and
the motion to declare Senator Jacobs motion
adopted was carried. The secretary then pro-
ceeded 10 call the roll again and there was no
announcement OF the third ballot. Mayor
Cleveland, of Buffalo, was finally nominated
on the fourth ballot.
