This is the ticket promulgated to-
night from the headquarters of Sena-
for Hill. 1t was a result of a long
conference of many of the state lead
ers. in which Senator Hill and Hugh
Mclaughlin took a leading part. The
announcement of this tentative ticket
was received quietly by the throngs
in the hotel corridors, and later ru-
mors were circulated that in the con-
wntion it might not stand. The Kings
county delegates, led by Senator Nc
Caren, were prominent in talking of
prospective changes. Despite this the

arrangements for the nomination of
the ticket. In all this preliminary
work Tammany took no part. and IN
fact. after the first conference Kings
county absented itself.
Senator Hill during the evening did
not affirm or deny that the slate as
given out by those in his room was
absolutely that which the convention
would finally nominate. One of the ru-
mOrs which sprang up after the slate
was announced was that Kings county
was preparing a bolt and that several
of the delega ties would refuse to abide
by the Coler decision or vote in the
unit system. Senator McCaren, in an
swering this, said:
ut is useless to try and deny the fact
that several members of our delegations
are not heartily in favor of Mr.. Coies.

Important news of the night from
semi official sources but lacking au-
thorization was that the committee on
platform had decided to declare for L.

headed by William S. Devery.
1t was almost noon before the dele
gates began to move towards the con-
vention hall. William S. DeVery was
cheered as he walked into the seats
among the alternates, the outburs.,
which lasted for many minutes, break
ing out every time he rose to shake
hands with a newcomer.
The convention was called to order
at 1890 o'clock and John B. Stanch-
field of Elmira, the temporary chair-l
man. addressed the assemblage in part
as follows:
Owing to the dominating influence

When the Ninth New York distict
was reached in the roll call of delegftes
and Goodwin's name was read there
was a volIey of Kisses and in an IN
slant the convention was in an lup~
roar, Kisses and cheers alternating. Mr..
