complaint against the Saratoga convention
for unseating the Shepard delegates. The
platform then advocates personal and
religious liberty; denounces the Repub-

ores. 1t continues as follows:
"Thc constitutional convention has
sought to pctrify in the legisiation of the
state . gerrynander apportionmert con
trary to the principles of Representative
and democratic government We blame
this danger to David B. Hill. whose poIit-
ical shortsightedness in forcing the
nomination Of Maynard threw the con-
vension IS well as the legislature
into the hands Of our political opponents,
whom we voted against Maynard. TO vote
with rs against an unjust and partisan
apportionment We favor home rule in
cities separated municipal elections, the
suppression Of bosses and rings and mis-
administration of municipalities.
After one OF the liveliest times witnessed
in this city the New York state Democracy
this evening nominated the choice OF the
committee Of seventy. Col. William Strong,
for mayor: John w. Gof, for recorder,
and Henry r Beekman, for justice Of the
superior court.
The delegates we're addressed by ex-
Secretary Fairehiid. who urged the nom-
ina,ion Of Strong and the defeat of Tam
many Hall His speech provoked @
storm OF Misses. Finally an effort was
made 10 stampede the convention for ex-
Mayor Grace. Mr.. Grace stated that he
would not accept. because of iil-health.
He then pleaded with tho delegates to
vote for Strong. So earnest were his
words that the delegates decided to accept
the candidate of the com mittee OF seventy
and the Republican party. The delegates
had their revenge few minutes
later, when Otto ksmpner was named for
sheriff lie had been the choice of the
committee of seventy, bat by . vote of 100
to 10 the delegates threw him overheard
and nominated E. ]. Tsmssen.
