| CONVENTION HALL, SARATOGA,
Sept. S.-Before the clock hands point
ed to the hour of II to-day the hall was
well flled with delegates of 1894. It had
bene settled long before by the Platt
followers that Levi p. Morton would be
| nominated for the office OF Governor on
the first ballot, Senator Charles 7. Sax
ton, OF Clyde. for Lieutenant-G Governor,
and Supreme Court Justice Albert
Haigh, of Buffalo. for Judge of the
Court OF Appeals.
The anti-Platt men. however. did not
despair. They came to make a fight
against Plat and his methods and were
determined to carry 1t as far as they
could.
| Mtlhollad's guerillas were among the
first to arrive. They rushed In and oc-
cupied about half Of the spectators
seats to the right OF the entrance. Mil
holland wanted to make a good show
Ing. and that Is all he got for coming up
here.
Plntt's TriumphaI Entrance.
The hall was comfortably filled before
the Convention was called to order by
Chairman Brokield. Music and enthu-
siasm filled the air. Mr.. Plat made his
triumphal entrance at the head of the
Tioga County delegation, greeted by
the cheers of his admirers.
1t was intended to give the boss an
ovation, but the enthusiasts had to run
opposition to a brass band and a drum
and fife corps playing at the same time,
and gave 1t up.
Fassett received a fattering recep-
ton. The delegates cheered for fully a

Milholland made his last dying effort
for recognition during the roll call. When

leaders thought It was bad politics to

Norton Has Gained Strength.
At II o'clock this morning the state
ment was given out at Mr., Platts head
quarters that Morton would have SIS
votes on the first ballot. Mr.. Morton
has made a gain since last night. Half
OF the Erie delegation decided to vote
for him as compensation for the nomina-
ton OF Haight.. For Lieutenant-Goy-
ernor the vote OF Erie will be scattered.
Edwin Einstein has made poll of the
New York delegation. and says that
sixty OF the delegates will vote against
Morton. The vote OF the ants from
New York and Kings will be divided
among Cornelius n. Bliss, Gen. Dan
Butterfield, Justice Leslie W. Russell
and Gen. Stewart l.. Woodford. Com
plimentary votes for Governor will also
be cast for Mayor Green. OF Bingham
