 Contrary to all exectation and to the in- dcations of last night and early this morn ing the convention was very harmonious; the only contest being for the nomination of governor and only one ballot being talk en on that
 The bright skies and clear atmosphere of the early morning found no parallel in the political situation preceding the reassem- bling of the democratic state convention. Before many delegates had arisen this morning, the leaders were about the cor riders and at S:SO o'clock it was announced 
 New York and Kings county delegates had united on Augustus Van Wyck of Brook lyn. brother of Mayor Van Wyck, of New York city, for governor and that the mayor would be withdrawn. For men who were up long after o'clock this morning the leaders were particularly active.

 In the meantime Senator McCaren, of Brooklyn, and Richard Croker, were hav- ing a conference and great deal of tele- graphing was done.

 "Yes. I understand that the New York and Kings county delegates have united on Judge Van Wyck for candidate At the same time none of the upstate candidates have withdrawn, and I believe that all of them will get into the convention. l do not know of any upstate delegates who are pledged to MT. Van Wyck, but in re- turn for favors shown their candidates by the Tammanyites they may throw over some votes.'
 Schaub Made Chairman
 When the convention met soon after room Frederick Schaub was elected per- manent chairman and was escorted to the chair. He made an address in which he scored the republican state administration, charged the national government with criminal negligence in the handling of troops in the Spanish war, and said:
 "Everywhere, democrats were in the van. Dewey, Schley, Hobson, Lee, Wheeler, democratic heroes all, have written high
 
 In conclusion he said: "Momentous ques- tiops affecting the future policy of Ameri- ca must be passed upon by the next na- tional congress. It should be the earnest effort of every democrat to so shape the work of this convention that 1t shall rem der possible the return to the upper house our beloved senior Senator, Edward Mur- phy."
