with bursts of enthusiasm.
John ]. Foote of the Twenty-first as
sembly district of Brooklyn protested
against the vote of the borough OF
Brooklyn being cast for Van Wyck.
Bernard j. York had already an
nounced the vote of the entire Brook

Chairman jerks ruled that Foote
could not be heard. He said that mo-
tion had been adopted that the chair

vote of the delegation and that Mr..
Foote could not have any say. After
a futile effort Mr.. Foote left the plat
form.
Mr. Foote wanted to nominate Jus
tice William ]. Gaynor, but he did not
get a chance TO even mention his name.
The demonstration for Van Wyck
was confined to strict organization
men. All of the boroughs voted for
Van Wyck without any hitch other
than Mr.. Foote's interruption. The an
nouncement that Mr.. Van Wyck was
the choice of the convention was the
signal for storm OF misses from large
portion of the audience and from the
Brooklyn delegation from the Twenty
FIRST district which it took the band to
drown.
John Shea Of Brooklyn placed in NOM
nation Bro S. Coler Of Brooklyn for
comptroller. Coler's name was received
with cheers. There was no counter

tion. and Mr.. Coler was unanimously

WOMEN URGED THEM.
Deputies In Edwardsville, Ills,
Attacked by Strikers.
CLUBS AND RED PEPPER WERE USED.
Tho sherifTs Men, Though Outnumbered
Ten TO One, RefraIned From Follow
ing the Lattimer Example and
Fought with Fists Only.

ST. LOUIS, oct. 1.-The miners en-
ployed in the Madison Coal company's
shafts at Edwardsville. his, were GO
ing to work when they were attacked
by mob of strikers, who were egged
on by 30 or more women.
The strikers threw stones and cay
enne pepper and beat their opponents
with clubs. One miner had his skull
crushed, and numerous others were cut
and bruised. A clerk of the Madison
Coal company was blinded by pepper.
The miners. who fought as best they
could with their dinner pals, were final
ly allowed to so to work.
After the attack the strikers and the
women formed in line and marched
through the streets OF Edwardsville
shouting and singing.
The strikers, numbering more than
800, with the women, far outnumbered
the workers, who were guarded by a
force Of deputy sheriffs on their way to
the mine. II. w. McCune, a deputy
sheriff in the escorting posse, was dis
armed and dragged to one side. where
crowd OF irate strikers beat him with
their fists and clubs until he was almost
unconscious.
Many more Of the workers and depu-
ties were injured, and several of the
strikers. including the women, received
wounds.
Though heavily armed, the sherlff's
men took their drubbing without maxi
ing any attempt to use their guns. They
were outnumbered ten TO one, but they
fought with their fists. Had a shot been
fired the consequences would have been
fearful. as the strikers were frenzied.
The riot resulted from a partially sue
cessful effort to work the Madison
mines. superintendent w. II. Glass last
Friday promised protection to those
who would go back TO work.
The miners have marched to the mines
under guard of Deputy Sheriff Dillon
and a posse of ten men every morning
for nearly week. The Edwardsville
strikers We're re-enforced by men from
Troy. Collinsvllle, Moundsville and
Staunton.
The delegation from Glen Carbon
brought the women with them, and
these were the leaders in the riot. 1t is
said more strikers will come here to
help intimidate the nOnunion men.
Superintendent Glass says the force OF
| deputies will be increased to a number
sufficient to protect the miners. and the
workers win be escorted to the mines

er Tees has returned from northern
British Columbia ports. She brings a
prisoner named Gordon, held on suspi-
cion of having murdered Thomas Jones,
his prospecting partner, while on a
prospecting tour up the Stickine river.

ker from the Twenty-ninth New York
district and Mclaughlin from the First
Brooklyn district.
The crowd was very noisy during the
roll call. Many persons who had no
business on the platform crowded up
there, and the voice Of the secretary
could be heard only a few feet away.
When the Twenty-ninth district was
called and the name of Richard Croker
mentioned there was not even a ripple
of applause. Then the name of Bernard
J. York of Kings was greeted with
cheers from the Brooklyn delegation.
Mr.. York is Hugh McIaughlin's first
lieutenant.
A recess was then taken, after which
Colonel jerks was made permanent
chairman. Chairman York reported for
the committee on resolutions the plat
form, which was adopted.
The platform as adopted embodied
these articles: A denunciation of any
attempt by the state legislature to die
tate to the citizens Of New York in their
municipal government; that the only
proper function Of government is to pro-
vide for the convenience, well being and
protection of the people; a cOndemna-
tion Of the Raines liquor law as iniqui-
tous and intolerant. having injured real
estate, protecting dive keepers, and
closed avenues of legitimate employ
ment, besides promoting intemperance;
an arraignment of trusts; the exercise
and proprietorship of municipal fran
chises by the municipality itself: a de-
mand for the reduction in the price OF
gas: demand for equalization of taxa
tion so that capital shall bear its share;
the enforcement of the eight hour law
I'm municipal work; adequate school ac-
commodation; advocacy of rapid tran
sit. and the building of new bridges over
the East river; alsD of public improve
ments, public baths and lavatoriesi
finally, a request for the cooperation
of the people to bear these out.
That portion of the platform con-
demning the Raines law evoked con-
siderable enthusiasm. as did reference
TO the propriety of municipality owning
public franchises.
When the vote on the adoption Of the
platform was put, some one in the fan
end of the gallery shouted mol" buf
the voice was quickly smothered by th'
yells Of votes in the affirmative.
The resolutions recently adopted b,
the Democratic union recommending
for consideration as candidates for th'
mayoralty nomination the names o

There were cheers and Kisses as tn

For President of the Council.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The first DEM
ocratic convention for the nomination
of officers for the city of Greater New
York was held at the Grand Central
palace, Lexington avenue and Forty
third street. last nights, The main floor
where the delegates and alternates were
seated and the balcony and gallery pre-
sented brilliant scene.
A noticeable feature of the decora-
tions was the absence Of the pictures OF
the old leaders of the Democratic party
which were always displayed over the
platform at previous conventions
Long before the hour for the conven-
tion Lexington avenue was thronged
with Democrats from all sections Of the
territory included in Greater New York.
There were many ladies in the crowd,
which extended from Forty-third to
Forty-fourth street.
Two bands helped to keep the audi
ence in good humor until the business
Of the night was begun. The leaders OF
the different boroughs got together in
groups and discussed the ticket.
The convention was opened by John
c. Sheehan, who nominated Congress-
man Amos J. Cummings for temporary
chairman. The permanent chairman
of the convention was Amet +. jerks
of the borough of Kings. John b. Nc
Goldrick was the permanent secretary
of the convention. Thomas f. Brennan.
ex-street cleaning commissioner, was
the sergeant at arms.
When the convention was called to
order at S:12 by John c. Sheehan, there
were fully 1000 people in the hall Just
before Mr.. Sheehan raped for order
the hall was thrown into an uproar by a
scrimmage in the section occupied by
the New York delegation. Alderman
TAFT of the Sixteenth district got into
a wordy argument with another dele
gate, and before any one could prevent
it a rough and tumble fight was in
progress. No particular damage was
done owing to interference of other DEL
egates. Alderman TAFT struck his op-
ponent several blows before they were
separated. Three policemen succeeded
in getting the alderman away, and or
der was restored.
Many of the audience scanned the
delegates to get look at Richard Gro
ker and Hugh Mclaughlin. the veteran
leader Of the Democracy of Kings. Mr..
Sheehan said that neither Croker nor

they had been elected delegates, Cro-
