scenes without parallel in the history
or city conventions were enacted to-
night in and around Carnegie hall,
Where the Democratic convention for
the naming of a city ticket was held.
Long before the doors of the building
were opened thousands of persons
gathered in the streets, and the 200 po-
llcemen were totally unable to handle
the multitude. Both within the build
ing and outside people were jammed
together In great unwieldly mass:
many were crushed, and women tainted
on all sides. T. c. T. Grain was elected
Chairman of the convention and Thom-
as +. Smith acted as secretary
John L. Shea, of Brooklyn, handed in
a petition protesting against the pIac-
ing on the Democratic ticket of the
names of two men who were improp-
whose names
appear on the fusion tickets"
The platform contained the follow
ling reference to President Roosevelt:
The president of the United States,
returning from patriotic inspection of
his national fences, recognizes the i'm
portant bearing of our city election on
his next campaign. DESTROYS of pre-
senting himself to the Republican ma
tional convention as from a state and
faifU n of hNy mi
views, he gathers the rural political
leaders about him to impress them
with the necessity of Republican vic
tory in the city of New York.
TN this era of postal iniquity and
general Republican barter in federal
places We have the spectacle of presi-
dent degrading the patronage of his
high office to clear the way for the
complete mastery of the local Repub-
lican boss; all of which is followed by
strenuous proclamation denying his
interference In local affairs
The committee on resolutions ig-
nored entirely the protest of the dele
cation from Kings.

names of Messrs. Grout and Fornes
shall be erased from the fusion ticket
will be decided at a meeting Of the

ruff, as chairman of the Republican
city convention, will issue a call for
the reconvening of the convention on
Tuesday night next, when similar ac-
ton will be taken. Independent Demo-
