enthusiasm among the up country
delegates or the angry city men. An
understanding was not arrived at with
the state Democracy people; and Tam
many, while exultant at the state De-
mocracys defeat, is still disgruntled at
the platform declaration on excise.
Never at any political gathering did
so much depend on the admission Of
contesting delegations, and never were
plans so rudely broken as when
the state Democracy refused to
enter the convention The ticket
this morning early was looked
upon in part as certainly Angus
comptroller; Daniel B. Griffin. of Wa
tertown, for attorney-general. Norton
Chase. of Albany. was running for
comptroller. John B. Judsohs OF
F.nton, was looking for state
treasurer. At 8 o'clock, one hour
before the time set for the
meeting of the convention, the slate
was unchanged and the platform as
sent exclusively to the Associated Press
yesterday was very little changed. Half
an hour later Daniel Griffin, who had
clear field for attorney-general, de-
clined to run; Augustus Scheu, who was
slated for comptroller, with every
chance in mis- favor, had declined TO
allow his name to be used; Judson was
transferred 10 Lie COMPREHENSIVE -
c. Dow of Schoharie, was slated for
state treasurer and Norton Chase was
put on the slate for attorney general,
although he had never been mentioned
for the Office.
The Platform too, had been cut until
it had become a much abbreviated
message of few declarations and many
semicolons; the nominations were rap
idly put through by the convention and
1.-i+h enthusiasm The results
detailed We're all because of the with
drawals of the delegates of the state
Democracy. Various reasons We're
givel for the sudden changes in the
slate.
Scheu Is Bitter.
Mr.. Scheu, of Erie who had been
turned down in the comptrollership
fight, was very bitter. He said that
the personal enmity of one Of the lead
ers was the cause. A friend of his
stated the reason was that Herbert
Bisseu refused to nominate him, ana
Mr.. Scheu refused to run unless the
nomination was made by Cleveland
advocate.
Daniel Griffin said, when asked by
the Associated Press representative Tor
his reason for Withdrawing:
OF have no desire to disguise the rea-
sons why my name was not presented
as a candidate for the Office Of att0r-
ney-general. In politics, as in all
other affairs, the least injury is done
by a strict observance Of the truth and
frankness. Had my name been pre-
scented to the convention l would nave
been nominated unanimously. But af-
ter the report of the majority commit
tee on credentials had been made by
the convention, l labored so far as L
could to procure the adoption of the
minority report by the convention, be-
lieving that the situation in my county
logically required the same treatment
as had already been made in the case
of Kings county. Before the report had
been adopted 1 saw my friends and said
to them that if the report of the ma
jority of the committee in New York
City contest should be endorsed, /
would not become a candidate, and
adhered to that position. The candi-
dates are men of exceptional chardc-
ter. The greater part of the work OF
the convention has been done In an
admirabl manner, and the party haV-
ing spoken in an orderly way through
its accredited representatives, will
command general support, notwlth-
standing the serious disapproVal among
many individuals of its action in the
case Of the New York City contest.
In Fighting Frame.
When the state Democracy people
left the rink after being denied more
representation, they were in a fight
ing frame, and continued so until their
train left at 2:35 p. m. The leaders
were very free in their expressions of
disapproYal and here are some OF
their remarks:
John Jerolomon. president OF the
board Of aldermen of New York-We
are going back 70 pulVeriZe Tammany
Hall It is not the giving to US OF
one-fffth Of the delegation that we OBJ
ject to, but the action Of the ccnVen-
ton in humiliating US, that we have
no state committeeman or representa-
tives in the party organization. We
will fight them on county and legisla-
tive tickets and beat them
Theodore SutrO-The effect will be
to draw many of the Commandment
can votes away from the nominees
and Tammany Hall.
John J. Guinlan-We are going back
to fight them to the end, and While we
viii not endorse the local Republican
nominees, we may support a consoli-
dated ticket, the same as we did last
year.
Charles S. FairchiId-We left the
convention because we were humili-
ated by the ratification of the report
Of the committee on contested seats,
which did not give US representation
in the councils of the party, only al
lowing US a few seats. We will nomi-
nate independent county and district
tickets.
