present the name of that greatest liv-
ing exponent Of Democratic principles
Senator David Bennett Hill
Wild Scenes Repeated.
He had hardly finished when the
same scene that occurred when Hill S
name was first mentioned, was re-
peated.
The delegates rushed down the aisle
towards the front and threatened to
invade the stage.
Senator Hill said, out of the din:
The rules of the assembly are in
force here, and the roll call should be
to proceed"
The gavel was banged several times
and the applause died somewhat, but
it was almost Immediately resumed,
when jumping upon the press table
and from there to the stage, Bourke
Cochran faced the audience, and waved
both hands for order. In an instant
the cries subsidized and the congressman
began an imprisoned speech, calling
upon the convention to disregard HiITs
declination and to make him the can
didate.
Nainiy the GaveI Was Used.
Vainly did Senator Hill use the gayel
upon the desk and call for order. When
quiet was restored, the senator de-
manded that the roll proceed under the
rules of the convention.
Clerk De F'reest began calling the roll.
AS each county was called. its leader
arose and declared for David B. Hill.
when the call was completed, eX-As-
semblyman Eitt, from Albany, who
had nominated John Boyd Thacher,
Jumped to his feet and mounting a
chair, withdrew his candidate and
earnestly called upon Hill to accede
to the wishes of the convention.
This made Hill the only candidate
before the convention.
Congressman Cochran interrupted
the roll call by springing upon a table
and laundering out:
"All who are in favor of nominating
by reclamation will say ave.
A Mighty Shout.
There was mighty shout and to the
same summons for those opposed no.
there was not a voice heard Then,
turning to Senator Hill, he said:
Sir, the people summon you to
your duty" (Applause)
Mayor Gilroy mounted a chair and
added:
Il only desire to say that it is the
ton that Senator David B. Hill should
be the Democratic standard bearer in
this campaign. l am satisfied from the
fact that Mr.. Hill has never yet failed
in his duty to the Democratic party,
and if this wish is conveyed to him de-
and properly. he will obey
the command of this convention" Gap
plause.)
The roll was then called and every
county voted for Hill and the secretary
the senator had received all
the votes cast.
During the excitement that attended
the clerks announcement of the nomi-
nation of Senator Hill, the senator was
inanimate behind the chairman's table.
His usually pale face was almost ashen;
his hands trembled, and he did not
venture to speak.
Delegates rushed for the stage and
shouted for recess. so as to forbid Sena-
tor Hill from refusing. The leaders,
however. opposed adjournment on the
very same ground. Finally, the con-
vention went on with its work.
Lieutenant-governor Sheehan, in a
brief eulogism, nominated Hon. Daniel
of Buffalo, for the office of
ieutenant-governor. The nomination
was made by reclamation amid great
applause. James d. Bell nominated
James G. Gaynor for judge of the
court of appeals and the convention
nominated him by reclamation.
The usual resolutions were adopted.
A motion TO adjourn was carried,
Senator Hill saying: 1.-THE convention
that is running itself wants to adjourn.
| declare it adjourned
The convention adjourned sine die at
) 80. The platform is as follows:
