Jones Bolts the Ticket-Ihe Circus
In the Convention.
BINGHAMPToN. September H. Lieuten-
ant Governor e. F. Jones published letter
today, in which he bolts his party's ticket
New YORK, September 1.-THE Press
this morning gives this account
of the action of the Brooklyn support
ers Of Chaplin in the Democratic convention
yesterday: The County Democracy had no
voice or representation In the convention.
The attitude of another powerful wing of
the party, the Brooklyn Democrats, toward
the ticket, named today is indicated by thes Q
insulting words, delivered In open conven-
ti0n, amid much excitement. by William G..
Dewitt in behalf of the Kings county dele
gates;
"a jackass can't become a lion, though he
may wear lions skin-his ears and bray
will bet-ay him. We do not want a repre-
character, has the favor of a Jeffersonian
Democrat. We should be independent of
famb0yant millionaires. We do not under
stand why politician should seek an office
for which nature disqualified him. II you
persist In what seems to be your determine
we will go out from this convention with a
sullen and surly temper that will show we
do not approve of it,"
This personal insult to the candidate of
the party was delivered in cold, clear cut,
deliberate manner, that showed studied pre-
paration. 1t was no sudden outburst of pas
sion, nor in any way provoked by previous
| speakers. Mr.. Dewitt was the spokesman
| of his united followers.
Tammany wanted Flower and would give
| heed to no compromise. Croker told had Nc
| Laughln that he would not think OF surren-
| der. The Brooklynites knew they we're pow
| erless In all but speech, for 1t had been de-
| cided that Flower would be the choice of the
| convention on the first ballot, and Flower
| was.
| But Tammany was appalled, at the result,
and the 5000 people Jammed into the cOnven-
| ti0n hall listened in breathless amazement as
shaft after shaft CT satire, and sarcasm, ann
criticism were hurled by the speaker so
| quickly and with such tremendous earnest
ness that Tammanyites could only sit dumb
10 their seats and listen.
Croker's eyes blazad and never turned
from the speaker. Gllroy passed him note
but he did not look at 1t.
Dewitt accidentally stumbled against him
as he came down from the stage, and offered
an apology, but still Croker paid no heed.
There was all the while the widest excite
ment among the delegates. Tammany's
blood was up, and Il Missed defiance at the
Kings county men yelled back, and the
crowd outside the rail assumed a violent par
| tisanship. Accusations of treachery were
| banded about. There were cheers and jeers
| and groans and profanity. Men were
standing on chairs bowling and swearing,
| and waving their canes.
Some yelled to throw Dewitt out: some to
| lynch the entire delegation. at one time it
was feared the mob, whose passions ran
high, would break down the rail- which sep
| arated 1t from the delegates, and posse of
| police quickly surrounded it. Had the gangs
| got within the rail something more than the
| convention would have been broken, for
their worst passions were stirred.
