Unwilling as l wa3 to receive the honor which the convention. in spite of my protest, has sought to confer upon ms, I am deeply touched by the unusual manifestation of confidence and esteem which accompanied the action of the convention, and to-nigh: I can only express in feeble langua ge a small part of the gratitude which l feel toward the democracy of New York. At some future time l hope to express my views at length upon the issues involved in this important cam paign. I renew my thanks for this demonstration, and bid you good night"
 The senator was heartily cheered.
 Saratoga, Sept. 26.-The first business of the democratic state convention to- day was the report of the committee on credentials. The report favored the sitting delegations in all contests, but that of the county of Monroe. The Shepard democrats of Kings. who oc- cupied seats on the floor, then marched out. They were followed by Mr. Fairchild's state democracy of New York.
 The committee on permanent organi- zation reported in favor of continuing the temporary organization. l~
 Lieutenant Governor Sheehan re- ported the platform and the conven- tion then resolved to proceed with nomi- nations. .ysG%s ..E.5
 Senator Hill said: This place looks a little more democratic than the one we occupied yesterday. It is more like the Jeffersonian democracy in its sim plicity and I have only to suggest that in this place we nominated two democratic governors, who were elect ed." "'
 The chairman then recognized Galen R. Hit of Albany. MT. Hit took the platform and made long speech, fa- voring the nomination of John Boyd Thacher of Albany for governor.
 When MT. Hit finished Eldyn Rey- holds of Alleghany county, said:
 "The united delegation of Alleghany county desires to place in nomina- tion their first and only choice, David B. Hill."
 That was all he had time to say. The crowd went wild with enthusiasm. Men stood on their seats, waved their hats and yelled for three minutes.
 Senator Hill pounded with his gavel in vain. Finally Colonel Fell owes of New York arose and the crowd, think ing that he would say something about Hill subsided. Senator Hill then, asking the indulgence of the colonel. said:
 T am grateful to the democrats If the empire state for ,he courtesy and kindness of tn past, but I must say to you cannot agree to be your candi- date again for governor"
 Colonel Fellowes moved that co.r- ties be called. This was proceeded with. Livingston and Montgomery named Hill, amid cheers Then New York was called and Senator Guy rose and said: .-,.-..-
 "Mr. Chairman-I rise to perform a duty which I have waited for some older democrat from this county to perform. I am about to nominate for governor a man, the mention of whose name warns the heart of every true democrat. He must be our candidate He is the only man with whom we are sure winners. He must sink his personal views again and become our standard bearer. We need his serviccs now and we must demand that he give them to us, and consent to lead us on to victory. The situation is grave. The only thing for the convention to 10 is to assert that we know the mean ing of the term 'I am democrat" and knowing, should proceed to nomi- nats that prince of leaders who pre- tides over our deliberations. He has told us that h cann ot accept our nomi- nation. But tell you, gentlemen, we owe 8 courtesy eo the democracy of the state, which Is higher than the courtesy which we owe him. I nomi- nate the maa who ty oi1ies what democ- racy typi1ies. I pesenr the name of the chief expouen.. of democratic prin- ciples in our party, David B. Hill. Cheers and wild enthusiasm. Bourke Cock:an of New York then arose and, climolng over the reporters tatle to the platform, said: ''when the life of a nation is at stake l and the laws which govern its ex- istence fail to control its destinies the supreme will of the people is the only &}v,n os tho r}rrh< ,e,,.
