Indorse Chicago Platform.
BUFFALO, Sept l6.-It looks like a state
convention today, and the arrival of the
Tammany delegation has done more TO
bring into view old convention faces than
anything that has happened.
From the time that Mr.. Hinkley arrived
and announced that the selections of Ell
liot Danforth, the New York member of
the Bryan and Sewall notification com
mittee, for state chairman, and Frank ).
Campbell for national committeeman,
were favorable TO Mr. Hill, until late last
night, when this news was confirmed
there has been conflict among the as
sembled delegates and q flood Of gossip
that led up to the belief that there would
be serious friction. IL ends by the with
drawal of Mayor Molloy from the contest
for state committee chairman and the in
dorsement of Mr. Campbell for the Office
of national committeeman, an ending
that to eyerybody's mind signifies COM
promise with Senator Hill in order to keep
together the state organization, and q
withdrawal of Senator Murphy's candi-
date in the interest of harmony.
The changes in the program during the
afternoon and evening and after the ar
rival of the majority of the delegates was
not many. 1t was said that in addition
to consulting Senator Hill MS to the make
up of the state organization leaders Bor-
nard YarlA, of Kings county, had stopped
at the senator's residence, and after "a con-
sultation had decided that the proper per-
son for Kings county TO place in nOmina-
tion for lieutenant governor to combat the
Republican candidacy Of Timothy l..
| Woodruff was General Isaac Catlin, of
Brooklyn This left out of all considera
tion Ridgeway, Mcclellan and others, and
It did not take long for those people TO an
nounce that they were not candidates.
The very sudden turning down of the
lieutenant governor candidates put the
Albany boomers of Mr.. John Boyd
Thacher in II rather unenviable frame of
mind. They were nervous and distressed,
although nearly all of the Tammany dele
gates wore badges with Thacher's name
upon it, But there was little apparent
cause for this nervousness, for there was
no other name mentioned for the nomina'
ton this morning.
The ticket therefore, us 1t stands Sc
lected today is as follows: For governor
John Boyd Thacher of Albany lieutenant
governor, General Isaac Catlin of Brook
lyn, chairman of the state committee
(vice Major James w. Hinkley, retired)
Elliott Danforth of Chenango county
national committeeman (vice William f
Sheehan resigned), Frank Campbell o
Bath; temporary chairman, Thomas F
Grady Of Now York permanent chairman
b. II. Rockwell of Chemung.
The platform will indorse the Chicag
national ticket and platform, will arraigi
the last Republican legislature as tn
most extravGgGnt in &e history of tn
state, will say that the Raines liquor Law
was merely for the creation of a vast Re
publican machine and to assist in reduc
ing at the expense OF class the tax rat
of the state which would otherwise hav
been the largest in the history of the state
and among other things, advocate tn
adoption of more stringent laws regardin
