The Nominations.
Nominations for governor were in order,
and st. Clair McKelway of Brooklyn took
the platform. His remarks were pithy
and humorous. He said: 81 have wit
messed many verbal assaults and batteries
with intent to nominate. The usual
newspaper style of nominating would be
to drape your man with adjectives or else
TO find a man who does not want the nom
ination and then nominate him. The
first way has its drawbacks, for sometimes
you have to change your man because
your adjoctives may not fit him. some
men are called Democrats, and the adjective
is misplaced. Last night in this hall at
tended a meeting called n Democratic
meeting. 1t was misnamed. IL was per
| formanoe; one act part In free silver
ring. The boxes were filed with gold
Nod oH rfn pc
/ with regularity and political cupidity with
| political conscience. l name for your
| standard bearer a man just the opposite
| of these miscalled virtues that have re-
| cited, Daniel G. Griffin of Watertown. So
| true Democrat Is he that he was born in
| jefferson county. l want to say that be
/ is q Democrat, a true one. He is OF the
snme opinion as he was last June, and he
/ does not have to write a letter to prove 1t.
| He has ever been a true man and a faith
l full one, an upholder of all that is good
and true in politics For time In all
| good acts he upheld the hands OF the chief
executive in this stato and later he refused
| at those hands the tender Of the nomina-
tion for attorney general
MIR. McKelway then detailed Mr.. Grif-
| fms publiu and private worth and closed
amid storm of applause.
Judge Purcell OF jefferson said that the
delegates from that county had not known
of Mr. Grifiin's candidacy but they hearth
~ seconded the nomination.
1t seemed as if the nomination would be
made at once unanimous, but a man
named Bissett from Long Island took tho
platform and in a rioh hrOgue named
Patrick J. Gleason He kept the audience
in an almost continuous roar of laughter by
his bonmots In favor of his candidate.
He said that he did not think It right TO
name a lawyer, for he thought it better TO
have man of the people In his county
they believed that when a lawyer died, all
you had TO do WAS to put his body In a
| room for two days, and the devil would iiy
| away with him. He termed Mr.. Gleason
| a friend of labor. "Why," he said, "hC
has driven a car, he has conducted cal
and has built the road it ran on. He is Z
full fledged and full sized Democrat, ,
full nedged and full sized man and Is foi
a full lledged and full sized dollar.
Mayor Gleason Refuses.
When the speaker had finished, Mr.
Gleason took the platform, and after ex
pressing his thanks withdrew his nam,
and asked the convention Co name unani
mously Daniel G. Griffin. There was
hearty mead Of applause given to Mr.
Gleason, and when he had returned to his
seat the nomination was made by acola
nation.
Nominations for lieutenant governor
were in order, and John Dewitt Warner
| in a brief speech named Frederick W. Hin
richs Of Kings county. The nomination
was seconded by Charles J. Patterson o
Kings who said that his delegation felt
rather peculiar at having seats I'm this con
vention, because 1t had always been the
custom TO get kicked out OF the last few
| Democratic convention. He was glad e
know that at last Kings county Democrat,
| were not only in Democratic convention
but were TO have a place on the ticket
| Mr. Hinrichs was named 10y acclamation
The nomination for judge Of the cour
Of appeals being in order, John g. Mil
| burn arose to make a nomination
! but Just as be began to speak, Genera
| Palmer entered the hall, and in an instan
the entire audience was on its feet, cheer
ing wildly.
When the tumult had subsided, Mr.
| Milburn placed in nomination Spence
: Clinton Of Buffalo. He was nominated b.
acclamation, and the actual work Of tn
convention was finished
With hurrah this resolution was intro
