HILL"
BOurI<e Cochran Helps EN- Out.
He had barely finished when the same
scene that occurred when Hills name
was first mentioned was repeated. The
delegates pushed down the aisles toward
the front and threatened to invade the
stage. Senator Hill said out of the din:
1.-The rules of the assembly are in force
here and the roll-cau should be allowed
to proceed.
The gavel was banged several times,
and as applause subsidized somewhat it
almost immedia tely resumed
when, jumping upon the press tables and
from there to the stage, Bourke Cochran
faced the audience and waved both
hands for order. In an instant the noise
subsidized and the congressman began an
inpassiOned speech calling upon the con-
vention to disregard Senator HIPS
declnation and to make him the candi-
date. When Mr.. Cochran had finished
the scene that had preceded this was as
mere nothing in comparison with the
pandemonium which reigned for at least
five minutes.
Vainly did Senator Hill use the gavel
and call upon the delegates for order.
At the sound of his voice the applause
took on new impetus. At least when
some quiet was restored the senator de-
manded that the roll-caH proceed under
the rules Of the assembly, adopted as
the rules of the convention.
Clerk De Freest began the calling of
the roll amid cries of 'can slowly" As
each county was called its leader arose
and declared for David B. Hill.
Congressman Cochran evidently did
not like the delay, for springing upon the
table of the Associated Press, he said:
"All who are in favor of the nomination
by reclamation will say aye"
There was a mighty shout and to the
same summons for those OppOsed-nO,"
there was not a voice heard.
Then. turning to Sena tor Hill, he said:
Sir, the people summon you to your
duty. (ApplauSe.)
Mayor GIIroy Speaks.
Again Chairman Hill managed to re-
store order in order that assembly dis
tricts might be called. The convention
showed a disposition not to allow this.
but Mayor GiIroy sprang upon a chair
and said: Il only desire to say this:
that there is no question that it is the
unanimous sentiment of this convention
that Senator David 3. Hill should be the
democratic standard-baarer in this cam
paisn. l am satisfied from the fact that
Senator Hill has never yet failed in his
duty TO the democratic party, and if this
wish is conveyed TO him deliberately and
properly he will obey the command of
this convention (Applause) There can
be no question about the result and l
move that the roll be called and that
each county as ii is called or each as
sembiy district cast the vote of its dee
gates for governor. We should proceed
deliberately. There should be no charge
hereafter that this convention was SIAM
peded for any man, and | am perfectly
well satisfied if this convention should
express its desire for Governor HIS
candidacy he will accept it's command"
loud cheers)
The roll was called and every county
answered for Hill. and the secretaries
announced that Senator Hill had received
a. the votes cast. There were cries of
A IT,. l..
Secretary De Freest mounted a chair
upon the stage and said:
Il declare that Senator Hill is the
unanimous choice of this convention for
the nomination of governor of the state
of New York"
During the excitement that attended
the clerks announcement of the nomina-
ton Of Senator Hill the senator sat in
animate behind the chaiTman'S table His
usually pale face was almost ashy. his
hand trembied and he did not venture to
speak Some of the enthusiasts tried to
adjourn the convention so as to arrange
the balance Of the state ticket, but the
plan failed.
Lockwood and Gaynor Nominated.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Sheehan then
arose and in a brief eulogium nominated
the Hon. Daniel n. Lockwood for the
Office of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. The NOM
ination was made by reclamation amid
great applause.
James B. Bell of Brooklyn named
Judge Gaynor for judge of the court of
appeals and the convention nominated
him by reclamation.
Immediately after the nomination of
the ticket Senator David b. Hill was
asked by an Associated Press CORES
pendent what he thought of the situa-
ton.
on" he replied, with no little an
ger expressed in his face, Its an out
rage; its an outrage"
Mayor j. w. HincSley received the fol-
lowing today: 81 find on my arrival this
morning that my name is the subject of
some consideration by the delegates TO
Saratoga and have received many friend

these detail VIII you do me the kind
ness TO say for me, in answer TO any in
quirieS, that for reasons entirely per-
Il . a COR lot
the nomination. l concur heartily in the
opinions so admirably expressed by Sen
atOr Hill in his address that harmon
iOus and aggressive action on the part
Of the democrats of the state ought sure

not men, must constitute the issue, and
New York is not accustomed to waver in
her fidelity to democratic principles when
a united party demands their enactment
and enforcement
