as declaring in positive terms that he
did not want the nomination. and would
not accept It,
Then the machine men proceeded to
select some dummy candidates to mask
their real intentions. John Boyd
Thatcher, of Albany, was brought for
ward as HIS choice. and Daniel Lock-
wood as the choice of Lieut.. Gov. Shee-
han.
:" Then the 'reformerss began to urge
the nomination of Judge William ].
Gaynor, of Brooklyn. and his boom soon
assumed such proportions that the lead
ers had to concoct a scheme to pune
ture 1t.
1T was necessary to exercise more
diplomacy with Judge Gaynor than had
been called into play against the others,
however. He stood for Reform first,
last and all the time. and had great
strength. 1t would not do to approach
him as a party to a deal, and so 1t was
decided to pretend to offer him the
nomination and at the same time make
1t impossible of an honorable acceptance
by inuendo attacks upon his private life
emanating from among the delegates
to the very convention that seemed
anxious to have him accept.
Judge Gaynor's manly retort upon
such methods was made in letter
given out Tuesday night. In which there
appeared this indication that Judge
Gaynor understood the purpose of his
enemies, and seemed to strike at Hill.
do not nominate any one only because his
station as a private citizen is high or because
powerful people or powerful combinations are at
his back. nor yet simply because he has held
political once, however high. for I say to you
that 1t is Of more consequence what your can
didate has done and is capable OF doing FOR the
people than what the people have In the past

Then strong EFFORT was maze 10

was solicited to allow the use OF his
name for second place on the eleventh

the leaders hadn't counted on.

Naturally Mr.. Belmont grew indig-
nant. Wasn't he a better man than
Thatcher, and did they think for mo-
ment that he couldn't get a bigger vote
than the ex-Mayor of Albany? Bosh!
And 30 Belmont declared himself Out
Of 1t in a hun.
Then Charles p. McClelland. OF
Westchester County. was approached
and not being In the secret he con-
sented. Then the slate that was put
up to be smashed, was completed, by
