made in the committee on resolutions and
on the floor in violent speech against
Mcclellan and in more bitter attack on
Grout, Charles F. Murphy nominated his
Mcclellan Grout -Fornes ticket in the late
hours last night.
Carnegie Hall held riotous company
Of delegates and onlookers, and they were
not all Of Mr., Murphy's way Of thinking
for they took Grout and Fornes with ridi-
cule and Kisses. 1t was almost midnight
| when McClellan's nomination was reached.
To-day had come on the clock when the
rest Of Mr.. Mufphys slate was put through.
Brooklyn held to its own stubborn pro-
gramme, presenting candidates for all
three Offices in Justice William j. Gaynor
for Mayor. Julian d. Fairchild for Comptrol-
Ter and Herman Metz for President OF the
Board Of Aldermen.
"Grout ard .Fones are not Democratic

lin and went to Mcclellan. Kings made
the nomination of Mcclellan unanimous.
but it did not do the same for Grout and
Fornes.
POLICE LET THE PLACE BE MoBBED.
The police arrangements last night may
truthfully be said to have revealed help
lessness and ih0mpetency which would
have scandalized the constabulary Of q
Canadian village. Smiling Dick Walsh. an
inspector by the gift Of Commissioner
Greene, was in charge. If anybody could be
said to be in charge of the men who stood
around and let the crowds at the doors riot.
| At 8 o'clock nine-tenths of the delegates
were not in the hall. because they couldn't
get in, and appeals to the police were vain.
Inspector Walsh WAS smiling back and
forth across Seventh avenue, and the only
persons he passed into the hall were
favored frendl Several divekeepers and
hackers of gambling houses got in readily.
The police did not attempt to form lines
to control thu crowd or to make path
through it for those entitled to enter. Those
who had tickets to the stage got there with
hats crushed and clothes torn of.
Even the leaders, like ex-Police Com
missioner James ]. Martin, had to work
like football players to Get in. Ranator
Patricl, H. Md saHaa-eess BIZ Brooklyn got IL
with great difficulty, and. after long wait
for the other Kings county men, got news
at SIS clock Jhat they were all outside
but that the police would not let them get
to the door Secretary Smith of Tammany
Hail. to whom these many complaints
were carried, said that Tammany had made
requisition on the police for enough men to
handle the crowd.
MCARREN GETS WELCOMING CHEER
When under this handicap about half the
delegates had thrust their perspiring per-
sons into the hall the stage was jammed
with people and the two tiers of boxes were
filed. About fifty women were in the
boxes Hundreds of draped flags formed
the decorations of the hall Senator
! Thomas +. Grady at intervals announced
that smoking would not be allowed not
even on the three rear seats
| The first cheer was sounded when John
| l.. Shea and Bernard j. York of Brooklyn
walked down the aisle together James
| j. Martin got one too. But when Long Pat
! McCarren drfted down the aisle he got
! three loud ones that almost brought an
expression TO his face.
GRAIN FOR CHAIRMAN.

when James j. Martin, chairman Of the oity
committee managed to get to the platform
| and brought the convention into existence.

| ney- General, had been chosen for chairman.
