Of Buffalo, Judge of the supreme court
and former district attorney Of Erie
county, The platform. an unequivocal
endorsement of the Chicago platform
and ticket and denunciation OF the
republican state legislature.
This. In brief. is the work of the
democratic state convention which
closed its labors In this city to-day, II
merely the prefunctory work of the
convention is looked at. IL Is. how
ever, significant fact that the state
organization leaders who have hereto
fore controlled the conventions OF this
party are still at the helm. Senator
Hill. Senator Edward Murphy. ex-
Lieutenant Governor W. f. Sheehan.
Richard Croker and each one OF the
smaller lights OF the party who serve
under these mems banners are un-
doubtedly satisfied with the work of
to-day's convention.
Ii 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 be
read out of the party In order to make
room for more youthful asplrants. The
result of the convention to-day is this:
A ticket made up of strict organization
men has been nominated: the selection
of leaders who did not attend the con-
Vention has been adopted for chairman
OF the state committee; the national
committeeman to be selected next week
will be man favorable 10 the organ
ization leaders. and the platform Is not
as radical as IL was intimated some
weeks ago IL would be,
Those who are inclined to he extreme
ly radical in their advocacy OF silver
display some little disappointment to-
night over the platform, but as a whole
Ii Is taken with very good grace.
nhe state committee. as constituted.
contains a majority OF strictly state
organization men, and in the selection
this afternoon of Elliott h. Danforth
to be chairman, Calvin J. Hudson TO be
secretary and an agreement To make
Frank $. Campbell OF Bath the ma
tional committeeman, as soon as Sem
stor Jones has notified the committee
of the resignation OF w. +. Sheehan,
IL has evinced desire to conduct the
campaign from the standpoint of a
state organization.
The refusal OF Tammay to indorse
the candidacy of one Of its own mem
bers, William Sulzer. was not due to
any personal objection TO him, but
rather. as was explained by Senator
Grady. because Il was believed that
Tammany would embarrass Itself and
be accused. In the event OF Bryan's de-
feat, OF selling out the national ticket
to secure the election of one OF Its
members TO a state office.
IL Is very generally conceded tonight
among the more prominent of the dele
gates that the selection OF Mr.. Thacher
and Mr.. Porter will not be successful
i'm preventing the gold standard men
from nominating a third ticket.
