 MIR. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN OF THE CONFERENCE.-The time having arriv- cd for the presentation of candidates, my associates have commanded me, a con- mand I most cheorfully obey, to present for the consideration of this convention the name of ono of New York's most em- inent citizens as a candidate for the office of governor.
 The gentleman whose name I shall submit Is not stranger to the people of the state. His name is familiar to a large majority of our voters, and he possesses in a marked degree the respect and the esteem of them all. Nor Is he an untried public servant. He has filled many im- portant public positions and has discharg ed the duties of all in a manner that con- ferred great honor upon himself and cred it upon his country.
 Fellow delegates of the convention, a grave responsibility rests upon the Re publican party of New York. It is our duty to place in nomination today a man who is not only ablo to carry the state, but one who will win victory of such magnificent proportions as to satisfy the people of the nation and the people of the commercial world.
 Republicans are coming back to pow CT in 1896 and are coming back to stay. That man is the Hon. Levi F. Morton"
 There was a storm of applause as Gen. eral Tracy finished, and several members were on their feet crying for recognition to second the nomination and ask for a vote by exclamation, but Colonel Baxter threaded his way up the aisle and took the platform. The Fassett men saw him, and there was a tumult.
 Quiet was restored, though not for five minutes, and MT. Baxter began his speech.
 Enthusiasm For Fassett.
 When the name of Fassett was reached, there was the most remarkable scene of the session, reminding one forcibly of the scene in the Republican national conven- tion at Minneapolis when Mir. Blaine re- ceived the applause and Harrison the vote.
 People stood on their feet and waved handkerchiefs, and for five minutes the vast audience yelled itself hoarse. MT. Platt sat looking straight ahead, with i'm passive countonance, and Mir. Hiscock looked nervous and squirmed In his seat. {.
 ''Will you relegate this man to the rearY" asked the orator after the applause had ceased.
 "No, no, nop' came in a great volume, and then Mir. Platt had to smile, and Sen ator Hiscock looked little relieved.
 Several times during the speech there were similar outbreaks and the names of Blaine, Grant Harrison and Saxton were greeted with commendation.
 Silas $. Butcher of Kings county amid silence came to the platform and in brief speech nominated Stewart l.. Woodford.
 E. A. Nash of Cattaraugus named Gen. eral Butterfield. His remarks were brief. He alluded to the career of the general dur ing the war of the rebellion and his dis tinguished services to the party. There was applause from one section Of the hall, but it was evident that both delegates and audience were getting tired.
 Elk Congressman Parker of St. Law renee county presented the name of Judge Leslie w. Russell He believed that his ability as a lawyer and his integrity as n man and as Republican would make him great governor of the state. He did not believe that Mir. Morton would be a good business governor, and he thought Judge Russell would.
 Cries for vote followed, and the chair man ordered the rull to be called by ooun- ties.
 At 7:3s p. m. the roll call was begun. New York was badly split, and in some cases the roll of individual delegates had to be called.
