Shortly before o'clock, at which hour
the state committee was again called to
order Lieut. Gov. Sheehan announced
that the committee would nominate Judge
Charles F. Brown of Newburg for judge
of the court of appeals. This was the re-
suit of the all day conference between the
leaders. The committee went into session
at o'clock, and at $50 clock it finished
its labors. It then announced that Judge

nominations
Senator Hill, flan5ed on either side by
Mayor Gilroy and w. Bourke Cochran,
and followed by Mr.. Lockwood and the
other members of the notification COM
mittee, was escorted to the committee
room.
There was a cheer from the assembled
state committeeman as Senator Hill en-
tered the room. He stood with his back
to the mantelpiece, holding some manu-
script in his hand. Mr. Lockwood stood
on Mr.. Hills right, while grouped in front
were Mayor Gilroy, Delaney Nicoll
Bourke Cochran and the other Tammany
men.
Mr.. Hill was formally notified by Maj
Hinckley of his nomination. He bowed
his head in acknowledgment and smile
played over his face.
Then Congressman Cochran stepped for
ward and standing in front of Mr.. Hill,
addressed him. AS he was speaking his
big form swayed TO and fro and his voice
echoed through the room in impassioned
accents
Senator HILL" said Mr. Cochran, 1.-THE
committee of notification formally ten
ders you the nomination which was made
in your presence in the convention at Sar-
atoga. That nomination, unforeseen by
you and unexpected by the country at
large, has been the signal for democratic
revival all over the country, and will be
the first plank in the bridge over which
the democratic host will march to victory
throughout this country on election day.
We might have respected your scruples
under ordinary circumstances and con-
sented not to put your name in nomina-
ton, but in times of danger like the pres
ent we felt it was your duty to lead us on
to victory.
The Democratic party in these mo-
ments of extreme peril sensible of the
danger that surrounds it, demands to
follow in your footsteps that know no
pathway except that which leads to vic
tory. We appeal to you by all the tri-
umphs of the past, by all the difficulties
OF the present and by all the hopes of the
future, to come forward. We ask you
TO lead us once more, and we are certain
that when the standard will be placed in
your hands it will be the signal that the
battle is already won, and we will be
guaranteed by a victory before the first
blow shall have been struck"
Then turning to Mr.. Lockwood he said
that in the last election he fought under
anothed leader than the gentleman who
headed the ticket to-day. I'm the days of
our prosperity" said Mr.. Cochran, I'VE
could afford to have convictions and com
petitlons for distinguished places. But
IN this hour of peril we must have but
one party; be animated by a single
thought; devoted to a single cause and
moved by a single leader The convention
mas asked you to stand side by side with
the gallant leader that has led US to vic
tory so often, feeling certain that the
united democracy will rally to the sup
port of his views The people of this
country await with anxiety for the an

over the country. 1t will inspire new life
INTO the party everywhere and the chair
man of the committee will write his tele-
gram that the invincible champion of the

Senator Hill then made his reply, which
was cheered to the echo When he said he
was ready to accept the nomination and
would head the ticket in the coming cam
paign, the enthusiasm of the state COM
mitteemen knew no bounds.
