For Which Goodwin and

Saratoga, Oct. 1.-The following is
the Democratic ticket named at the
state convention here:
For governor, Bird S. Coler of Kings.
Lieutenant governor, Charles N, Bull
ger of Oswego.
Secretary of state, Frank Mott of
Chautauqua.
Comptroller, Charles M. Preston of

Erie.
| State engineer and surveyor, Richard
w. Sherman of Oneida.
State treasurer, George r. Finch of
Warren.
| Associate judge of the court of APP
peals, John G. Gray of New York.
At 11:27 the temporary chairman
| took the gavel and raped for order.
| The report of the committee on creden-
| tails was called for. Chairman Nc
Mahan said, "In presenting the report
l move the previous question" This
was to prevent debate.
While the report was being read
| there was quiet until the Ninth dis
| trict was reached. When the secretary
read, 'In the Ninth district, New York,
neither delegation is entitled to seats
| in the convention because of the whole
| sale corruption"- a mighty roar of
| cheers and Kisses mingled went up
| and as it continued Devery was seen
| making his way to the platform. Vain
| ly the chairman raped for order; vain
| ly band played. Down the aisle Dew
cry forced his way, the crowd clearing
| che way for him. When he reached
| the platform steps, with raised hands
he tried to stop the pandemonium that
| reigned. A sergeant at arms with his
| hands on the big chiefs shoulder tried
| to force him back to seat, but he
shook him off and started to speak.
His voice was husky, and his hands
| shook as he raised them. Then he said
| amid cheers:
| Democrats of this convention, Sam
| uel J. Tilden was deprived of his right
| of franchise, as was the people of the
| United States. We do not want that
| to occur here today. 1t was through
| the work of a clique of this convention
| that the people of the Ninth district
are about to be deprived of a similar
right Mr. Hill, as state leader of the
state of New York we ask justice from
you as leader of the Democratic party.
| We do not come here as honest Demo-
Gratis to be deprived of our rights"
| Uproar In the Hall.
| AS Devery left the platform not a
| delegate was in his seat, and the gal
| lery was in a wild state of excitement.
| AS he reached his seat Frank j. Sulli-
| van, one of the Devery delegates got
| to the platform and attempted to speak.
| The chair called to him that he could
| not address the convention. Amid ter
rible uproar he started to speak, but a
sergeant at arms hustled him down
| the steps. For fully ten minutes the
convention and spectators roared APP
|
noise made small subsistence there
| came the voice of Chairman Stanch-
| field, "For the sake of the delegates to
! this Democratic convention and those
present l desire to say that the party
does not propose to have its voice put
down or allow its convention to be
run by thugs and ruffians and
/
again and drowned Mr.. Stanchfield's
voice by cheers for Devery. For sew
eral minutes this went on. and then the
chair said. II want to say to the gal
lery everybody will get fair play"
From the gallery, Not on your liferD
"If the gallery does not cease, the
galleries will be cleared"
Cries of "rry it, Lets see your
Devery Presents Minority Report.
Finally some semblance of order was
obtained, and then Chief Devery
walked up and presented a minority
report. The chair then ordered a roll
call after having the reports read. The
vote began in much disorder.
