GREAT CROWD AT THE COUNTY
CONVENTION IN THE
WIGWAM.
1T ENDORSED CLEVELAND
CONDEMNATION OF THE PRES
ENT RULERS OF NEW YORK;
CITY.
REPUBLICAN INCONSISTENCY,
Society for Liberal Sunday Laws
Votes to Support Tammany,s
Candidate.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Tammany
Hall wigwam was crowded tonight
at the opening of the county con-
vention to nominate candidates for
the city and county. The following
ticket was nominated: For justices
of the supreme court, Charles II.
Truan and Frederick K. Smythe,
Tammany, and Charles F. Mclean,
Democrat and G. A r. U. candidate;
judges of the court of general ses-
sions, Joseph F. Newburger and
Gen. Martin I. McMahon;' county
clerk, Henry D. Purroy; register,
William Sohmer; justices of the city
court, Robert A. Van Wyck Ge-
nominated), John r. Schuchman and
Edward F. O'Dwyer.
The platform adopted indorsed the
administration of President Cleve-
land and the candidates for state
offices, and condemned the interfer-
ence of the chamber of commerce
with the politics of the city on be-
half of the Republican party. The
inconsistency in the state and
county Republican platforms was re-
ferred to as an effort to catch votes.
The action Of the State Democrats
in uniting with Republicans 'for
the sake of spoils" was severely con-
demned. The platform further says:
eve indorse the enforcement of the
law, but protest against and de-
nounce the discrimination that has
been made between the rich and poor
in the severe, oppressive and unintel-
igent exercise of power by the po-
lice board Of this city. We con-
denim the employment of spies fur
to commit violations of the law, as
savoring too much of the despotic
methods of countries whose govern
ments deal with their people as sub
jects, not free citizens. The Demo-
cratic party is, as it has ever been,
strictly in. favor of respectable OBJ
servance of Sunday by abstaining
on that day from, all unnecessary
employment, and yet mindful of the
rights of every citizen. to the enjoy
ment of worship, comfort and recre-
alton according to his own con-
science and wishes as far as COM
patible with a due regard to the be-
liefs and desires of Others
CHANGING THE LAW.
The platform favors the immediate
enactment by the next legislature
of a modification of the present op-
pressive excise laws, and in addition
promises to make an endeavor "to
obtain from the coming legislature
a law which will enable this COM
munity to determine for itself by
popular vote whether the sale of
food, beverages and all necessaries
shall be permitted on the first day
OF the week during certain prescrib-
ed hours, and in a manner so re
stricted as not to interfere with re-
ligious observanees.'
The members of the independent
county organization held their
county convention tonight at Cooper
Union. A platform denouncing
Tammany and the Republicans was
adopted. No ticket was nominated
but a nominating committee of
35 was appointed to select a tic
ket which will be nominated by petit
ton. The time for filing certificates
of nomination expires tomorrow and
it will be necessary to obtain 5000
signatures to the petitions for the
nomination of the ticket.
The executive committee of the
Society for Liberal Sunday laws, ai
a meeting held this afternoon in
the Astor house, indorsed the Tam
many nominations. This society re-
presents the united saloon interests
of the city and it's action is regarded
as very important.
