ing of the Shepard delegates to the
Saratoga convention. The meeting was
held last night, and the committee
called for tho revolutions, which were
adopted without opposition.
As the Shepardites are said to have
received assurances that their nominee

Everett z. Wheeler is about go years
OF age and lawyer in this city, being
senior member OF the firm of Wheeler,
Cortis & Goodkin. He has been chair
man OF the New York civil service re-
form committee.
Tho platform adopted begins with a
complaint against the Saratoga conven-
tion for unseating the Shepard delegates.
The platform then advocates personal
and religious liberty, denounces the
Republican party as the tool of trusts,
and declares for tariff reform, free coal
and free ores. 1t continues as follows:
''The constitutional convention has
fought to perpetuate in the legislation OF
she state a gerrymander apportionment
contrary to the principles OF representa-
tive end Democratic government. To
blame this danger to David Hill whose
political Observation-Disclosures in forcing the
nomination of MAYNARD, threw the con-
vention, as we'll as the Legislature, into
the hands of the other political oppo-
nents, and we ask fair minded Republi-
cans with whom we voted against May
nard, to vote with us against an unjust
and partisan appointment.
"We favor home rule in cities. separ-
ate municipal elections, the suppression
of bosses and rings and tho misadminis-
tration of municipalities"
After one OF the liveliest times ever
witnessed in this city, the New York
State Democracy this evening nominated
the choice OF the committee of 70, Col.
William Strong, for mayor, John W.
Coff for recorder, and Henry r. Beck
man for Justice OF the supreme court.
The delegates were addressed by ex-
Secretary Fairchild, who urged the
nomination OF Strong and the defeat of
Tammany hall. His speech prov oked
storm OF hisses. Finally an effort was
made to stampede the convention for
ex.Mayor Grace. Mr. Grace stated that
he would not accept on account of i'll
health. He then pleaded with the dele
gates to vote for Strong. So earnest was
he that the delegates decided to
accept the candidate of the comittee of
70 and the Republicans. The delegates,
however, had their revenge few min
utes later, when Otto Kempner was
named for sheriff. He had been the
choice of the committee of 20, but by a
vote of 100 to 10 ths delegates threw him
overheard and nominated E. ]. Tams-
sen.
