We are confronted witt pa. ralysis of industries due to .heS eIa. | ton of republican tariff and financial Legislation. It Is our duty to prove tc The people that the misfortune which has overtaken the country Is due to re. publican misrule. and that prosperity can be restored by following our lead and placing our candidates In power We must not take the risk of falling and no man who has led us as our presiding officer has led us will allow ue | 10 go forth without the inspiring h. fluence of his leadership. (Cheers.) By all the ties that have bound him in the past, by his hopes of the future by his duty to his country, I dema nd that he lead us. and now name him | for governor" Prolonged checrs.)
 MT. Cochran then put the question to the convention, twill you make the nomination unanimous?"
 Everyone In the hall, delegates, spec. tators and all yelled aye" Turning to Senator Hill Mir. Cockran said: Senator Hill, We summon you to your duty"
 MT. Hill stood until there was a lull. Then he said in a calm voice: The secretary will proceed with the roll call by counties"
 Colonel W. L. Browne also spoke, sec onding the nomination of Senator Hill for New York county. Half a dozen del egaions moved to suspend the roll call, but Senator Hill quietly remarked that he had had some experience with legislative bodies, and the rules of the assembly, under which the convention was acting. would not permit the sus- pension of the roll call, and directed the secretary to proceed.
 The counties of Oneida, Orange, Os- wego. Queens, Rockland, St. Lawrence, Schoharie, Steuben, Suffolk, Tompkins, Wayne, Westchester, and Mates all seconded MT. Hills nomination. Galena R. Hit of Albany, who placed in nomination John Boyd Thacher for governor, then said:
 Albany county claims Senator Hill as one of her sons, and when she placed another name before the convention it was with the understanding that Senator Hill would not accept the nom- ination.
 MT. Chairman, there is no conven- tion which so gladly recognizes the sentiment of the convention as being for yourself. We have no candidate to stand in your way. can assure the delegates of this convention that if Sen- ator Hill will accept this nomination old Albany will give him larger ma jority than was ever given any candi- date"
 This was a signal for another shout of applause. In the midst of it Senator Cantor shouted that as Albany had withdrawn her candidate there was but one name before the convention. He moved that D. B. Hill be nominated by exclamation. Defreest put the ques- tion.
 The yells of Aye" shook the rafters, and there were no noes. Defreest de- clared Senator Hill nominated and dele gates and shouters cheered and threw their hats in the air.. Senator Hill stood calmly, impassivelyin his place, gavel in hand, and endeavored to restore or der. He ignored the will of the conven- tion for the second time and bringing his gavel down with a resounding thwack declared the delegates and their spontaneous proceedings out of order.
 Mayor Gilroy, Bourke Cochran, James w. Hinckley and other prominent lead CTS climbed upon the platform and urg- ed Senator Hill to accept. He still re- fused to recognize the unparliamentary methods of the democracy. Then May or Gilroy got a chance to say a word to the convention. He said:
 T only desire to say that there can be no question that it is the unani- nous desire of this convention that David B. Hill carry the standard, and he had never yet refused to obey the demands Of his party. There can be no doubt if he is nominated properly he will accept. (CheersD We should, however, proceed deliberately, SO that there can be no charge that this con- vention was stampeded for any man."
 This had a pacifying effect, and the roll-call of counties on the ballot for governor was proceeded with. Each county as called voted solidly for Hill. The votes of New York and Kings were cheered. When Monroe was called George Raines, leader of one of the factions there, said that as the conyen- tion had given each of the eighteen delegates of each faction half vote apiece he was instructed to cast all the half ballots for Senator Hill.
 When the roll call was ended Secre- tary Defreest announced:
 "The ballots show 3S3 votes, all for D. B. Hill. I declare him nominated unanimously"
 That settled it. Pandemonium broke loose. Delegates climbed over tables and chairs and upon the platform. They congratulated the presiding officer and would hardly refrain while he pounded with his gavel for order.
 A motion was made and carried to proceed with nominations for lieutenant governor.
 Lieutenant Governor Sheehan pre- scented the name of D. L. Lockwood of Erie, and MT. Lockwood was nominated by exclamation.
 Nominations for associate judge of the court of appeals were then in order J. L. Dell of the Kings county democra- cy, moved that Judge William J. Gaynor of Brooklyn be nominated by acclama- tion. This was done with shout.
 After some routine businesss the con- vention adjourned sine die.
