! SYRACUSE, N. T., Sept. 9s.-The Demo-
cratic state convention finished its work
yesterday by nominating these offioers;
For secretary of state, Horatio G. King Of
Brooklyn; comptroller, John b. Judson Of
elsversville; state treasurer, D. @. Dow Of
Gobleskill; attorney general Norton
Chase Of Albany; state engineer, Russell
b. Stuart Of Syracuse; Judge Of the court
q appeals, John d. Teller Of Auburn.
9ks convention then adopted its plat
fsgu of principles substantially as already
pubiished. Tho excise plank is as follows.
''Hqunl and honest enforcement OF all
laws; . propsr observance Of aday Of rest,
and an orderly Sunday; notifications or
rspssi Of laws unsupported by public opin-
len; no unjust sumptuary laws; recoghi-
tion Of the fundamental American princi-
pie Of freedom Of conscience; home rule In
excise, as we'll as In other matters, within
reasonable limitations established to pro-
tset the interests OF temperance and mo
rAlity, and on amendment OF the excise
nnd other laws by the legislature OF the
stete which shall permit ouch municipal
ky expressing its sentiments by popular
vSto Of q majority Of Its citizens TO deter
mine within such proper Legislative re-
strictions as shall be required by the inter
ssts Of the entire state, what may best
suit its special necessitiesh conditions"
Within two hours after the close of the
senyentlon the delegations had taken reg
nlar and special trains for home. There
hes bsen an absolute lack Of enthusiasm,
Tor up country delegates are angry that an
understanding was not arrived at with the
State Democracy people, and Tammany,
while exultant at the State Democracy's
asfess, is still quite disgruntled at the
platform declaration on excise.
Never ct any political gathering did so
much depend upon the admission Of con-
testinR delegations, and never were plans
20 rudely broken as when the State De-
mocracy refused to enter the convention.
In the morning Norton Chase, of Albany,
Ess running for comptroller and John b.
hudson, of Fulton, was looking for state
tr6asurer while Augustus Scheu, OF Erie,
wAs slated for comptroller and Daniel b.
prifin, Of Watertown, was considered the
ikoioe for sttorney general. An hour be-
E5rs the time sct for the meeting Of the
ponvsntion the slate was unchanged, and
be platform as already sent by tho Asso-
rated Pross, very little changed.
HALF an hour later both Daniel Griffin
md Augustus Scheu had declined to allow
lhsir naanes to be used. Judson was trans
t4red 10 the comptrollcrship, Dow Of
echohyfe was slated for state treasurer,
fna Norton Chase was put on the slate
kor attorney general, although he had
hsveS been mentioned for the office. The
nominations were rapidly put through by
he convection and with no great en-
IhusiAsm. The results detailed were all
bsoouse of the withdrawal Of the delegates
NJ de State Democracy.
yMerfous reasons were given for the sud
IA changes in the slate. Mr.. Scheu, Of
&fie who had been turned down in tho
pofhptfpllership fight, was very bitter He
laid that the personal enmity of one Of the
leaders wes the cause. A friend Of his
btAted thAA the reason was that Herbert
Bies9l refused to nominate him; and Mr.
Echeu would not run unless the nomlna-
tion was made by Cleveland adherent.
lsDaniel Griffin said, when asked by the
Associated Press reporter for his reason
fpr Withdrawing:
Et'Had my name beon presented to the
ponvontion would have been nominated
unanimously. But after the report OF the
majority Of the committee on credentials
had been adopted by the committee I
lsbored so far as 1 could to procure tho
convention, believing that the situation in
Hew York county logically required the
pane treatment as had already been mado
In the case Of Kings county. Before the
report had bson adopted saw my friends
gnd said to them that II the report OF the
majority Of the committee in the New
York city contest should be indorsed |
would not become a candidate, aud 1 ad
hered to that position"
When tho State Democracy people left
Me rink after being denied more represen.
betion, they were In q fighting frame and
Bontinued 80 until their train left The
leaders were very free In their expressions
pf disRpproval, and here are some Of theii
remarks:
Corporation Counsel Frank NJ. Scott;
"Ths action of tho convention ratifying
khe report OF the committee on contested
seats made 1t impossible for the State De
nssracy to retain the seats allotted them
IN the convention, because the report takes
he ground that the rammany alone is the
regular organization Of the city Of New
York, and that tho members of the State
Democracy had no right to participats In
fhe organisation of the next convention
5ohn Jeroloman, president OF the board
bf aldermen Of New York; 1--WE are goinp
back to pulverize Tammany Hall IL |!
not the giving to us of one-flfth OF the dol
pgation that we object to- but the action
Of the convention in humillating us; thni
He have no state committeeman or repro
sentatives In the party organization. WI
will fight them on county and Legislative
tickets, and beat them"
Theodore Sutro: 1.-The effect will be Il
araw many of the German American vote
sway from the nominees OF the convention
Hnd Tanmany Hall"
John ]. Quinlan; 1--WE are going bacl
to fight them to the end While we will
not indorse the local Republican nominees
we may support a consolidated ticket, til
same as we did last year"
Charles s. Falrchild; 1--WE left the con
vention because we were huniliated b!
che ratification of the report Of the com
tnittee on contested soats, which did no
ciye mp representation in the councils o
she party, only allottlng us few seats
We viii nominate independent county AM
district tickets"
knd Charles G. o Brien expressed simila
sentiments.
