When the state OF Delaware wa,
called the announcement was made
that the state would yield to New
York. Then the result of tho Hill
conference was apparent. Tremend.
Gus shouts of applause swept though
the hall, Delegate Grady, one of the
leaders of Tammany Hall, assembled
the platform and his first sentence
rang through the great building in
trumpet tones:
"On behalf Of the democracy OF
New York, present to the conven-
ton for the nomination for vice pres
idcnt, the name of David Bennett
Hill"
Asks Jones to Stem, the Tide.
While Grady was speaking Hill
asked to see Senator Jones and when
the chairman of the national CONT
tee came the ex-senator said to him:
Jones, stop this thing. It's not
wise. 1t should not be insisted upon.
Help me stop it,"
Jones said: 81 will help you. Go ON
and decline and I'll help you. I'll see
the delegation leaders,"
1hcI fllll advanced 10 lne PLATFORM.
He stood with head bowed for few
minutes expressive of gratitude for
the cheers that rolled in heavy vol
ume toward him from every part of
the hall, and, when finally there was a
chance of his voice being heard, be
said he appreciated the complimen>.
but for personal and other reasons,
II cannot accept the nomination.
He declared that it was not fair to
the party to nominate him. He was
frequently interrupted by protests,
but he insisted he could not accept.
From New York came cries of Yes,
you cam" when he said clearly, firm
ly:
II did not come into the conven-
ton as Il candidate. did not expect
to be a candidate, and cannot accept
the honor"
Again came cries of Eyes, you car"
in greater volume than before, but
they had not the slightest effect. He
left the platform cheered to the echo
and surrounded by his friends, who
pressed forward to grasp his hand.
George Fred Williams, of Masa-
chusetts, said New York was entitled
to consideration. but seconded
Townc's nomination.
Cordial applause was given Towne's
name. but it was tempered with eX-
pressions from delegates that raised
the question of Towne's democracy.
In response to these cries Williams
insisted that Towne was as much q
democrat as any man in the conven-
ton. AT the conclusion of his speech
both Williams and Towne were hearth
ly cheered.
Minnesota yielded the floor to Cum
mings, of Connecticut, who briefly
seconded the nomination of Towne.
Stevenson Nominated.
Delegate Cooper, of Wisconsin, Sec
onded the nomination of Towne, but
Htwenty-three of the twenty-four votes
will be cast for Stevenson.
Wyoming and the District of CO.
lumbia seconded Stevenson.
The roll call of the states was or
dered for vote.
