Mr.. Peterson, OF DuvaL made sensa~
tional speech. He said Duval sent no
more delegates, because they did not have
the money to come. This was because
the country did not have a proper money
medium. He said he would have bread
" honest labor would buy II. II not. ne
he would go for It with q shotgun. NO
country ought to exist where willing
hands could not find bread. The existing
money system was the cause OF this ter
rible state OF affairs. He was tired OF
hearing, thirty years after the war, that
II was sectional to name Southern man
for President or Vice-President. (Cheers)
He said If the Populists kept growing
during the next four years as they have
grown in the past four, they would
"bust' up both OF the old parties.
At o'clock, the committees not being
ready to report, the convention adjourned
until tomorrow. There are about 30
delegates in attendance, and large ma

a fresh lie said that a result OF a confer
held in the Murray Hill Hotel. Frederick Cook.
of Rochester. has been selected as the Democratic
candidate for Governor. and that Brooklyn Will he
allowed 10 name the candidate for Lieutenant Gov
ernor. provided nothing is said OF James W. Ridg-

number Of good points which he is said TO have
as a candidate will make him remarkably strong

calculations Of the machine man. Cook is Ger
man brewer. and lives ia Rochester. and has been

satisfaction among Rochester Republicans over
George W. Adridge's failure TO receive the Repuh-
lican nomination for Governor. and Mr.. Cook. II is
figured out will gain many Of the votes of dis
gruntled Republicans in his own city. The fortu-
nate Brooklyn Bryanite who is on the slate for

pressed a desire for second place. But his pride is
too great 10 permit him to ask for the lesser honor
ton Edward VI. Grout has declared in half
hearted manner that he is for Bryan and is there

The explanation OF the willingness OF the State
leaders to give the ldeutenant-Governorshp to
Brooklyn Is found In the argument that Timothy l..
Woodruff the Republican candidate for the office.
is immensely popular in Brooklyn. and that some
movement is necessary among the Democrats to
Offset his strength
The party leaders in Bro9cklyn have already made
il known that former Secretary of State Cook
would be acceptable to them. They consider that
their refusal TO pass the Ridgway resolution has
put an end TO the Rdgway idea and laugh at the
threat Of Mr. Rdgvay that he will have his name
