 NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Tammany Hall held it's county convention this afternoon to nominate candidates for mayor, comptrol- Ter, district attorney, president of the board of aldermen, judges and coroner. John Kelly, who was received with loud applause,
 called the meeting to order and in some what lengthy address said as chairman of the committee organization it was his duty to call the convention to order and car " out the wishes of the delegates and as he understood it they intended to hold their convention the regular Demo
 cratic organization of the city and county of
 New York without regard to other organiza- tions. After referring to conferences held
 by the Democratic factions in former years,
 Mr. Kelly concluded by saying that it was the desire of Tammany Hall to give Grover
 Cleveland full and honorable
 support. (Cheers.) Hon. A. B. Tappan was
 elected chairman and committees were ap-
 pointed on permanent organization and reso-
 lutions. After short speeches by Burke, Cochrane and others the committees made their several reports. Hugh J. Grant was unanimously nominated for mayor and F. Henry Dugro for comptroller; George H.
 
 Richard L. Keymore and David McAdan for judges of the court of common pleas; General John Cochrane for president of the board of aldermen, and | Dr. NJ. T. Messmer for coroner. l The resolutions as read by Chairman A. Can tor of the committee on resolutions were as | follows:
 The Democracy of the city and county of New York represented by the Tammany Hall organization in convention assembled
 in consonance with its history and record for nearly a century and as the repre- sentative organization of the city and | county of New York do hereby ratify the nominations made by the Democratic
 national convention recently held in Chicago | of Governor Cleveland for President and Thomas A. Hendricks for Vice-President of l the United States and of the nominations of | Charles A. Rappallo and Charles Andrews by the Democratic State convention for 1 judges of the court of appeals of the State Of New York.
 That Little Democratic Scheme Nfpped HARRISBURG, Pa., Sept. 29.-The libel | suit of Anderson ys. Herbert, editor of the Patriot, was called to-day. This is the ac- tion which it is alleged has political mo-
 tive, namely, to bring out afidavits to the effect that c. H. Bergner some years ago ex- l hibited cheeks for money alleged to have l been paid to Speaker Blaine for a favorable
 ruling. Upon the supposition that Herbert connived at the suit the district attorney | assumed charge of the prosecution at the preliminary hearing some days ago. To- day the alderman hearing the case refused to recognize the district attorney. This oc- casioned quite stir. The case was then adjourned owing to the absence of wit l nesses subpoenaed by, the prosecution. Writs of attachment were issued to compel these gentlemen to attend the next hearing on Thursday. As they are mostly well known Democratic politicians the prospect of their arrest adds to the interest taken in the case.
