SYRACUSE. N ". Sept 25.-The Demo-
cratic state convention finished its work
To-day by nominating these officers:
For Secretary of State-Horatio c. King,
of Brooklyn.
For Controller-John B. Judson. of Glow
For State Treasurer-D. c. Dow. of scho-
harie.
For. Attorney-general-NOrto Chase. OF
For State Engineer-Russell r. Stuart. OF
Syracuse
For Court of Appeals-John u. Teller. OF
Auburn.
Within two hours after the close OF the
convention the delegates had taken regular
and special trains for home, and tonight
the town is deserted. There has been an
absolute lack of enthusiasm. for no under
standing was arrived at with the State
Democracy people, and Tammany. while ex-
ultant at the State Democracys defeat, Is
still disgruntled at the platform declaration
on excise. Never at any political gathering
did so much depend upon the admission OF
contesting delegations and never were
plans so rudely broken as when
the State Democracy refused 10
enter the convention. The ticket this morn
ing early was looked upon. in part certain
ly, as: Augustus Scheu. OF Erie, for State
Controller: Daniel b. Griffin. of Watertown,
for Attorney general; Norton Chase. of Al
bany. for Controller; John b. Judson, OF
Fulton. for state Treasurer. At o'clock.
one hour before the time set for the meet
ing Of the convention, the slate was un-
changed, and the platform as sent yester-
day very little changed. Half an hour
later Daniel Griffin. who had clear field
for Attorney-general, declined TO run; Au-
gustus Scheu. who was slated for Con-
troller had declined to allow his name 10
be used Judson was transferred TO the Con-
trollership; ID. 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 men,
toned for the Office The platform. too,
had been cut until il had become a much
abbreviated message of few declarations
and many semicolons. The nominations
were rapidly put through by the conven-
ton. and with no great enthusiasm The
results detailed were all because Of the
withdrawal of the delegates OF the State
Democracy.
REASONS FOR THE CHANGE.
Various reasons were given for the sud-
den changes in the slate Mr.. Scheu. OF
Erie who had been turned down in the
controllership 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
Bissel had refused to nominate him. and
Mr.. Scheu would not run unless the nom
ination was m1de by Cleveland adherens-
Daniel Griffin said. when asked by a re-
porter for his reason for withdrawal: II
have no desire II disguise the reasons why
my name was not presented as a candi-
date 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 convention i would
have been nominated unanimously. But
after the report of the majority COMMITTEES
on credentials had been adopted by the CONF
mittee. labored so fer as / could TO procure
the adoption of the minority report by the
convention believing that the situation in
New York county logically required the
same treatment as had already been made
in the case of Kings county. Before the
report had been adopted / saw my friends
and said to them that il the report of the
majority OF the committee I'm the New York
city contest should be indorsed / would
not become a candidate and 1 adhered 10
that position. The candidates nominated
are men OF exceptional character. The
| greater part of the work OF the convention
| has been done I'm an admirable manner
| and the party having spoken I'm an orderly
way through its accredited representatives
| will command general support notwith-
standing the serious disapproval among
many individuals OF its action in the case
| Of the New York contest
| When the State Democracy people left
| the rink. after being denied more repre-
| sentation, they were in fighting frame
| and continued so until their train left at
| 2:35 d. m. The leaders were very free in
| their expressions OF disapproval and here
| are some of their remarks:
| John Jerolomon. president OF the Beard
| Of Aldermen OF New York: I'VE are going
| back TO pulverize Tammany Hall. IL Is not
| the giving TO US OF one-fifth OF the deleRa-
| ton that we object 20. but the action OF the
convention ia humiliating us. that we have
4 no state committeeman representatives
| In the party organization. We will hght
| them on county and legislative tickets and
beat them
Theodore sutro: 1.-THE effect will be go

Charles s. Fairchld: I'VE left the con-
vention because we were humiliated by the
