remarked Big Bill, Just goes to show that
Iammany Hall makes a confession that

zation to nominate either for Comptroller

As to Mcclellan, he got his nominal ion
because he was friend OF Charley's. He

CONVENTION NOT COCk-A-LOOP.
Toe Many Sore Sp0ts--Jests by the Man
Out in the Street.
Beneath the surface there we're con-
hicting emotions in the Democratic city
convention last night. Leader Charles F.
Mnrphy's friends were to come extent
apprehensive, and in other respects they
were pretty ugly over the situation. Many
questions were asked by the delegates in
personal conversations, all to the effect:
"Can the ticket VIM" Nest OF these ques-
tions were asked by Tammany delegates,
and 1t was strange departure from the
old-time Tammany conventions, wherein
all was enthusiasm and pluck.
Leader Murphy's friends said that they
had from day to day read in the Brooklyn
Citizen the editorials, which plainly called
on the Democrats Of Kings county to knife
Mr.. Murphy's candidate for Mayor. George
B. Mcclellan. For instance. last night
the Citizen which is the authoritative spokes-
man for the Kings county Democrats, had

the utterancee Of the Citizen as expressive

to the steadfastness OF Tammany Hall
to Hugh McLaughlin's candidate for Cover
ernor. Augustus Van Wyck, in 1893, and
to Bird s. Coler. who was nominated for
Governor in 1901 by Mr.. HILL Hugh
Mclaughlin acquiescing. Tammany Hall
supported Coler, and ran up that tremen-
dous majority for him In New York county,
although in the convention Leader Murphy
and every Tammany delegate desired
the nomination Of yud &c Alton B. Parker.
Leader Murphy's friends went iuitner,
and said that they would call attention OF
the Democrats in New York city to the
conduct of Hugh Mclaughlin in the pre-
liminary campaign, wherein he had been
opposed to McClellan's nomination from
the start, but gave no good reasons why
Mcclellan should not be nominated. MIR.
| and while refusing to suggest any other
candidate for Mayor, contented himself
bv opposing Mcclellan and authorizing the
Citizen to advise the Democrats OF Kings
county to knife Mcclellan.
Some OF the Brooklyn delegates said
that they did not believe that Hugh
Mclaughlin would get up boiling ticket.
They said that they had heard a lot to the
effect that Mr.. Mclaughlin intended to do
this, but many of the Brooklyn delegates
said that they would not follow Mr..
Mclaughlin in such course a. that. for
the reason that they did not think il justi-
fable. Some Of the Tammany delegates,
said that Mr.. Mclaughlin would not get
up boiling ticket for the reason that no
would not care to have his organization
put in position to st and up and be counted.
There was bad feeling among the dele
gates. but that there will be boiling ticket
very few believe.
Outside Of the convention hall these skits
were handed out:
