Ex.Mayor Graces delegation OF May con-
vention Democrats arrived In their specia
trains from syracuse this morning at s
o'clock. The ex-Mayor, eX-Secretary Fair
child +. Ellery Anderson and Henry Oviatt
remained behind for conference as to further
action with Frank ID. Locke, OF Buf1alo, and
William A. Beach, OF syracuse, the leaders OF
the cleveland Movement In the western part
OF the state
Messrs. Grace, Locke and Beach profess
confidence that they have scored Cleveland
victory, and, as Mr.. Grace puts IL, at will be
colder day June 81 for Senator IIiIl than 1t
was for us that chill 22d OF February"
Speaking OF the work Of the Convention,
! MIR. Grace said: "Thcre can be but one
! opinion among democrats the action Of
the Convention was the only proper course 70
take. Not only Mr.. Ceveland's prospects
were involved, but principle. our action
was as much protest against men as against
methods
"The Convention met for purpose, and
that purpose was carried out, notwlthstand-
ing statements to the contrary. II never
was the intention to send delegation to Chi
cago with It's hands tied. There are no bosses
n
chine.
"our delegates have great responsibility.
They represent 100000 voters in This state
who have right of which they had bee de-
prived, to participate In the selection OF their
candidates. They now seek recognition at
the hands OF the National tribunal Of the
Democracy. The gentlemen who have been
selected to represent our movement are men
OF ability aud discretion, and iecl assured
that our interests are secure In their hands
"Thoy Will act as unit In whatever action
they take, and, whatever the outcome, we
Will support the nominee OF the Convention
We are Democrats
| Ex-RuilrOud Commissioner John d. Herman
Of Utica, who was Chairman oil the Conven'
tiOn, said:
:" We are not bolters. Did we not indorst
the regular Democratic nominees for PreSi.
Dental electOrsl | don't think II vas incOn-
sistent To recognize the regularity OF the
nominations while maintaining that they
were made by Il snap convention. We do not
dispute the regularity Of the proceedings OF
| the February Convention, but we protest, be-
cause We were deprived Of al opportunity tC
| have a voice therein"
Mr.. Herman was one OF those who favored
. sending an out and out contesting delegation
to chicago, but voted subsequently Tor the
modlncd plan Of "A delegation with dlscrctinn-
| AIRY powers II was asserted that the adUp.
tion NJ the mider course was back-down by
| the leaders.
THAT Is not true" said MIR. Herman
Ne did not recede step. II thC
delegates VIC selected are not contestants s
! what are thcyI They VIII go to chicago I,
contest, and we merely told them TO use theil
! judgement rs to the best way To do It,"
The leaders consider that they made a very
shrewd move In iniorsing the regular
nominees Tor Presidential electors. "NObudy
can accuse us OF being kickers and bolter:
now" said one.
I'VE are not bolters In any sense, " he con-
tinued. " They didn't give us a chance tc
bolt the February convention, and we didn't
| bolt It's nominations.
II was eX-SeCretary OF the Treasury Fair
child who sug Sested he idea OF indorsing th'
/ February convention nominees for rresidrn
| tlnl electors
