Syracuse. Oct Against the protest of the DEM
ocrats Of New York City, who give nearly one-thlrd
Of the votes which are annually cast for Democratic
candidates for State Offices, Governor Hill to-day
renOminatcd Controller Wemple and Attorney
General Tabor, despite their completely in the AS
sembly Chamber ceiling scandal This action OF
the Governor was the more remarkable, inasmuch
as the New-YorI Democrats who rarely united
on anything, in speeches to the Democratic State
Convention plainly stated the grounds of their
opposition To these men, and expressed fear that
the Democratic State ticket would be beaten II
they were nominated. Furthermore. Tammsny
Hall and the County Democracy took this step
fully aware that Mr.. Hill was master of the con-
vention, and could, if they resisted, trample their
opposition in the dust In caucuses which they
held privately to-day before the convention, they
deliberately adopted the policy of resisting the
denomination of the accused officials Mr.. Hill
might assume the responsibility of making these
nominations, but they would not do so as repre-
sentaives of the Democratic voters Of the largest
Democratic city on the continent II
the Democratic ticket was to he
put in peril in this State, they would not be par
ties TO such policy. Their orators boldly called
the attention Of the convention 10 the popular
feeling against these men, and solemnly warned
the convention to heed this public sentiment
But Mr.. Hill had made his decision. Mr.. Tabor
and Mr.. Wcmplc were on his slate. They should
he nominated. He issued orders to the deega-
tions he controlled and they overwhelmed the
New-Yort Democrats and the Albany Democrats,
who also protested against the nomination of
Tabor and Wemple
The opposition supported Edward A. Aaher,
Mayor of Albany, for Controller. Mr.. Maher re-
ccived only 1l5 - votes Mr.. Wemple, as Mr..
Hi's candidate, received 265 votes, having
clear majority of l40 II votes The opposition
supported Senator John Foley, Of Saratoga, for
Attorncy-G General and despite S previous d"feIt
gave him l15 votes, or only half vote less
A perseverance in opposition to Mr.. Hills policy
in the face of defeat shows how strong was the
feeling in the convention regarding the implicated
officials Mr. Tabor received 266 votes, or one
vote more than MIR Wemple, and he had clear
sition had though. of opposing the nomination of
Denis O'Bren for Judge of the Court of Appeals
and of Elliott Danforth for State Treasurer, but
its leaders saw that further test Of the spirit Of
the convention was needless, and therefore de-
sisted from casting further votes against Governor
Hills ticket The ticket as completed has the
following names upon it.
For Secretary of statc-Frank Rice. of Ontario
County.
Controller-Edward wemple. of Montgomery County.
state Treasures-Eliout Danforth, of Chenango
County.
Attorney y+ieiheral-Chsrlos A. F. Tabor, of Erie
County.
state Engineer-John Bogsrt. of New-York County.
Judg, OF the Court of AppealS-Dens O'Brlen, Of
Jefferson County
The candidates will stand upon a platform
written by Governor Hill, of which the chief
and the longest plank is bid for the support
of the Hquor-dealers of the State promising. in
effect q revision of the excise laws in their
favor if a Democratic Legislature should be
elected 1t is significant that the liquOr-dealcrs
in the convention had one candidate of their own,
namely. Denis O'Bricn, of Wltcrtown, who had
pleased them by his acticn in their behalf as
member Of Governor IIills Excise Commission
The voters of the State are therefore asked not
only to have a Whiskey Governor. but also
Whisllcy Judge of the Court of Appeals.
Mr. Hill made further change to-day in the
Democratic State Committee fatal IT, Grover
Clevelands chances OF being rcnominated for
President in 1892. Last night, stated in
to-day's Tribune, Mr. Hill had by his mCdifca-
tionS of the State Committee increased the number
Of his supporters TO twenty-five, leaving Cleve- |
land only rne votes. To-day Mr.. Hill further !
increased his vote by dcprvng Cord Meyer, Ir., |
a strong Cleveland man, Of his scat in the |
committee as a representative of the lst Con- !
gressonal District Mr. Meyer was displaced |
and Patrick j. Gleason, Hill Democrat, was |
put in his place This gives Mr.. Hill twentySiN |
votes in the Democratic State Com |
mittec and Mr. Cleveland only eight votes.
Mr. Hill has majority in the |
committee outside OF Ncw-Yorl< City. He de- |
,ires to be inde pendent of both 1ammany Hall
and the County Democracy, and their proceedings
to-day, in opposition to his slate whetted his
desire to acquire the inde pendencc he has OBJ |
taincd But despite professions of loyalty adj
dressed TO the convention by Bourl2 Cochran, on |
behalf Of Tammany Hail. after Mr.. Hills ticket
had been nominated, politicians are suspicious
that Democratic vote, for State officers this fall
in New-Yorll City will not be large as usual
When the platform prepared by David b. Hill
NJ Albany was read to the Committee on IIeso!u- |
tions this afternoon, Senator DAILY, of New-Yosk.
discovered that the name OF Grover |
Cleveland was not mentioned. Mr.. Hills negec3 !
TO mention Mr.. Ceveand's name excited no
wonder. Senator DAILY, however insisted upon !
Mr.. Clcveland's name ben- mentioned, AMI tle
sEIl Democrats reluctantly consented TO the |
insertion of Mr. Cleveand's name IN the plat
form. Will Governor Hill be pleased dt the
mention of his rivals name?
