Buffalo, judge of the supreme court anu
former district attorney OF Erie county
The platform: An unequivocal indorse'
ment of the Chicago platform and ticket,
and a denunciation of the republican
state legislature.
This is the work of the democratic con-
vention, which closed it's labors here to-
day if merely the perfunctory work OF
the convention is looked at. 1t Is, now
ever, a significant fact that the state
organization leaders who have heretofore
controlled the conventions of this party
are still at the helm. Senator Hill. SEN
ator Edward Murphy, ex-Lieutenant Gov
ernor w. f. Sheehan. Richard Croker,
| and each one of the smaller lights Oh the
party who serve under these mems pan
| ners, are undoubtedly satisfied with the
| work of todays convention.
| 1t had been predicted up to last night
| that these leaders would have no con-
| troll of the state convention, and that
| they themselves would practically De
| read out of the party in order to make
| room for more youthful aspirants. the
| result of the convention today is this
| A ticket made up of strict party organ
| iZation men has been nominated The
| selection of the leaders who did not at
| tend the convention has been adopted for
| chairman OF the state committee; the la
tional committeeman to be selected next
| week will be a man favorable to the or
ganization leaders, and the platform Is
not as radical as it was intimated some
weeks ago it would be.
Those who are inclined to be extremely
radical in their advocacy of silver dis
play some little disappointment tonight
over the platform, but as a whole it Is
taken with a good grace.
| The state committee as constituted
contains majority of strictly state or
ganization men, and in the selection this
afternoon of Elliot F. Danforth to b.
Chairman, Calvin ]. Hudson to be sec
| rotary, and an agreement to make Franz
s. Campbell of Bath the national com
mitteeman as soon as Senator Jones ha
| notified the committee of the resignation
| of w. F.. Sheehan, it has evinced a de
| sire to conduct the campaign from tn
| standpoint of u state organization. Tn
| refusal of Tammany to indorse the can
| didacy of one of it's own members VIII
| lam Sulzer. was not due to any persona
objection to him, but rather, as was ex
| planned by Senator Grady, because
was believed that Tammany would EN-
barrass ITSELF and be accused. in tn
| event of Mr.. Bryan's defeat of sellin
, | out the national ticket to secure the cleo
ton of one of its members to a stat
office.
1t is generally conceded tonight anon
the more prominent of the delegates the
? | the selection of Mr. Thatcher and NJ
r Porter will not be successful in prevent
t ing the gold standard men from nominal
g ing a third ticket
