plicated in the theft waste or misuse
of the public moneys, and the recovery
of so much of the diverted funds as
it may be possible by diligent effort to
procure through legal proceedings"
The resolutions then declare that the

should have the right to control their
own local affairs without interference
from Albany, and demand the repeal
of the partisan and unfair legislation
imposed at the recent extra session Of
the legislature upon the city of New
York, ana known as the Metropolitan
Force bill"
ROOSEVELT MUST BE BEATEN.
NJ. de Haven of Syracuse nominated
Mayor James K. Mcclure for governor
In his speech nominating Mayor Nc
CURE, Mr.. Haven said:
AT Saratoga Tuesday discredited
representatives of the Republican party
placed between themselves and the
wrath of the people soldier in the
war with Spain. Such were the mo-
tives of those gentlemen that had they
met in Hades, instead of Saratoga,
they would have held this self-same
soldier between themselves and the
fire. We have only admiration for the
rough riders, who never thought of
surrender while on the blistering sand
of Santiago, but we are amazed that
one of their number should return to
the cooling shades of Saratoga and sur
render absolutely and without condi-
ton to the most desperate and degen-
crate organization of political tough
riders that ever foraged upon the tax
payers of the state of New York. The
men who made that nomination must
be beaten. To beat them their candi-
date must be beaten. The Empire state
adnires the veteran of any war, but it
will vote down in self-defense the or
ganization that has made this man its
candidate, and with whom he has
joined hands.
This convention must name the
next governor of New York. To do this
we must have candidate who can win.
Central New York is TOR James K. Nc
CURE. He is young, but the man who
has worked his way from newsboy to
mayor of Syracuse and is serving his
second term at 80, is not too young
If you place the standard Of Democ-
racy in his hands he will never stop or
falter until he has carried it to vic
tory. He will rally beneath it the
young men of the state, regardless of
party ties, the laboring people of the
state, whose rights ne has always de-
Tended; the plain and common people,
among whom he was born and reared,
and to whom he has never appealed in
vain; the owners of small homes,
whose burdens he has lightened by
forcing just method of taxation; the
liberal thinking people, who believe in
just and liberal laws as against the
blue laws Of bigotry and the sumptu-
airy laws of hypocrisy; these men and
these interests who see to it that in
the great battle Of the ballots, the
'newsboy candidate the champion of
the plain people, is chosen governor
oyer the millionaire rough rider who
has joined hands with men who have
plundered the taxpayers and brought
shame and disgrace upon the Empire
state"
Judge S. S. Taylor of Chemung pre-
scented the name of John B. Stanchfield
for governor.
William F. Mackie of Erie nominated
Judge Robert c. Titus.
TAMMANY FOR VAN WICK.
Justice Augustus Van Wyck of
Brooklyn was placed in nomination by
Hon. Andrew Mclean of Brooklyn, who
predicted a great Democratic victory
1T was in the air, he said. He Teiterat-
ed in a few scathing sentences the
charges made against the Republican
state administration.
The Tammany men cheered his
speech loudly and, waving hats and
papers, showed their approval There
was everything in the scene to indicate
that Van Wyck would be the nominee
of the convention, and the galleries
evidently appreciated it, for the friends
of Mr.. Stanchfield and Mayor Nc
CURE began to leave the galleries.
William Sulzer said he desired to sec
ond the nomination of Augustus Van
a
racy of New York county. I'VE all
know him, and we know he never
lodged his taxes. We know where he
lives, and we do not have to apologize
for it."
Van Wyck's name was the last pre-
sented, and at 2:1S the calling of the
roll for the first ballot began, after an
adjournment had been defeated
AS the roll call proceeded it was
found that upstate delegations broke
up considerably and split the vote.
When New York was reached Richard
Croker said:
New York casts los votes for Van
Wyck,' and there was a roar of ap-
plause.
A BRYAN DEMONSTRATION.
Thomas S. Carmody of Penn Yam
mentioned for the first time in the con-
vention the name of Colonel William ].
Bryan. The convention went into an
uproar of applause Delegates sprang
from their seats and waving hats,
canes and umbrellas, cheered and
cheered again for the Nebraskan.
The cheering continued, and a spec
tator sprang up and grasped the slen-
der staff that supported Cuban flag
He waved the flag and the crowd
shouted for Bryan for several min.
