SYRACUSE, N. Y, Sept. 25.-The
Democratic convention finished it's
work today with these nominations:
For secretary of state, Horatio C.
King, of Brooklyn; comptroller, John
B. Judson, of Gloversville; state
treasurer, D. c. Dow, of Cobleskill; !;
attorney general, Norton Chase, of
Albany; state engineer, Russell R.
Stuart, of Syracuse: court of ap-
peals, John G. Teller, of Auburn. 1t
then adopted it's resolutions and
platform of principles, and within
two hours after the closK of the con-
vention the town was deserted by
the delegates. There has been alb
solute lack of enthusiasm, for up
country delegates are angry that an
understanding was not arrived at
with the State Democracy, and Tam
many, while exultant at the State
Democracy's defeat, is still quite dis
gruntled at the platform declara-
| ton on excise.
Never at any political gathering
did so much depend on the admis-
sion of contesting delegates, and
never were plans so rudely broken
as when the State Democracy re-
fused to enter the convention. The
ticket this morning early was looked
upon in part as: Augustus Scheu,
of Erie, for comptroller; Daniel
Griffin, of Watertown, for attorney
general; Norton Chase, of Albany,
for comptroller; J. B. Judson, Of
Fulton, for treasurer. At O'Clock,
one hour before the time set for the
meeting Of the convention, the slate
was unchanged, and the platform as
sent out yesterday very little
changed. Half an hour later Daniel
Griffin, who had clear field for at
| torney general, had declined to run;
comptroller with every chance in his
favor, had declined to allow his
name to be used; Judson was trans
ferred to the comptroller; D. c. Dow,
of Schoharie, was slated for state
treasurer, and Norton Chase was
put on the slate for attorney gem
eral, although he had never been
mentioned for the Office. The plat
form, too, had been cut until it had
become a much abbreviated mes
sage of few declarations and many
semicolons.
DISAPPOINTED ONES.
The nominations were rapidly put
through by the convention, and with
no great enthusiasm. The results de-
tailed were all because Of the with
drawal of the delegates of the State
Democracy. Various reasons were
| given for the sudden changes in the
| slate. Mr.. Scheu, who had been turned
| down in the comptrollership fight, was
very bitter. He said that the personal
enmity of one of the leaders was the
cause. A friend of his stated that the
reason was that Herbert Bissell re-
fused to nominate him and Mr. Scheu
would not run unless the nomination
was made by a Cleveland adherent.
Daniel Griffin said, when asked for his
reasons for withdrawal: 'I have no
desire to disguise the reasons why my
name was not presented as a candidate
for the office of attorney general. In
| politics, as in all other affairs, the least
injury is done by strict observance
of the truth and entire frankness. Had
my name been presented to the con-
| Ventlon, would have been nominated
unanimously. But after the report Of
the majority of the committee, I labor
ed so far as could to procure the
adoption of the minority report by the
| convention, believing that the situa-
ton In New York logically required the
same treatment as had already been
made In the case of Kings county. Be-
| fore the report had been adopted 1 saw
my friends and said to them that If
the majority report Of the committee
in the New York city contests should
be indorsed I would not become a can
didate, and I adhered to that position.
The candidates nominated are men of
exceptional character. The greater
| part of the work of the convention has
|
the party, having spoken IN an orderly
way through its accredited represent
atives, will command general support
Notwithstanding the serious disapprov-
al among many individuals Of it's action
In the case of the New York contests"
| TO PULVERIZE TAMMANY.
When the state Democracy people left
the rink after being denied more rep.
resentation they were in a fighting
! frame, and continued so until their
train left at 2:35 p. m. The leaders
were very free in their expressions of
disapproval and here are some Of their
| remarks:
John Jerolomon, president of the
board Of aldermen of New York-We
| are going back to pulverize Tammany
hall. 1t is not the giving to us Of one
fifth of the delegation that we object
to- but the action of the convention in
humiliating us, that we have no state
| committeeman or representatives in the
party organization. We will fight
them on county and legislative tickets
and beat them. .
Theodore Sutro-The effect will be
to draw many Of the German-American
votes away from the nominees of the
convention and Tammany hail.
Charles s. Fairchild-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
lotting us the few seats. We will nemi-
nate independent county and district
tickets, - 8
