Croker and Hill have fought out their
battle and the Tammany chieftain has

lows:
For governor-John y. Stanchfeld OF
Chemung

Mackey of Erie.

Duchess.
For treasurer-John 3. Judson OF Full
ton.
For attorney general-Thomas +. Con-
way OF Clinton.
For engineer and surveyor-Russell r..
Stuart of Onondaga.
Stanchfield was net chosen without acri-
monious personalities and a sarcastic ex-
change of compliments among the lead
ers. But when the will of the convention
had been finally registered, Senator David
b. Hill was first TO propose the unani-
nous nomination OF "a friend of lifelong
standing, John u. Stanchfeld."
This attitude proved so spontaneously
Infectious .hat representatives OF almost
every county which had opposed Mr..
Stanchfeld were Immediately upon their
feet and one by one they were recognized
by Chairman Raines to second the nom
inaion.
TO AVOID FRICTION.
An evidence OF purpose to avoid frfc-
tion on all other questions than the gu
bernatorial candidate, upon the part of
both Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Croker was mani
fest in the unanimous adoption OF the
committee reports upon both resolutions
and credentials.
Some of the remarks of the speakers
were extremely poignant and no attempt
was made to conceal the intensity OF feel
ing existing among the rival leaders. But
this spent It's entire force I'm ale selection
OF the head OF the ticket.
Naturally the great interest of the day
centred In the factional controversy be-
tween state leaders Murphy and Hill and
each may be said to have come out OF
the convention with support unimpaired.
Mr.. Murphy's majority, both i'm COM
mittee and convention was preponderat-
ing. and yet Mr.. Hill had three times the
support for his candidate allowed him I'm
ante-convention statements by the oppo-
sition.
Even more pronounced In the conven-
tion was Mr.. Murphy's defeat of Mr.. Hill.
although the Hin vote was "A surprise,
perhaps due to the fact that Mackey's
vote outside OF Erie went mainly to Hill.

l:t0 o'clock by Chairman McCarren. The
report OF the committee on credentials
was received with mingled cheers and
Kisses and was declared by the chair to
