New York, Sept. 22.-Democrats who

lock seemed probable, or at least an
accentuation of the traditional party
feud. Heroic. efforts were necessary to
secure harmonious action, and 50, after
many weary hours had been Intellectual

looking toward an agreement, Judge
Parker was appealed to by telephone,
and it was thru his suggestion that the
nomination was finally given to Herrick.

point of the voters, but perhaps it Is the
best that the convention, torn by fac
tional difference, could do. -
The keynote at Saratoga yesterday
was the placating of Tammany. No
other condition moved the men, from
Judge Parker down. -.
Had the convention proceeded to a
ballot without any word from Parker,
the nomination would have gone to Con-
| troller circuit, who was champlOned by
| Senator McCarren, the Brooklyn leader.
| At the word from Parker, McCarren let

vention in the spring and defeated at
/ st. Louis in July, was preparing to give
Parker only perfunctory support. To
fhave nominated .rGrout for governor
1 would have been TO humiliate Tammany
still further, and SO McCarren yielded.
Anti-Tammany, Anti-Hill.
Justice Herrick has a shining record
as anti Tammany man, but Tammany

Circuit. :.'a : + : =: :: =
Herrick also has shining record as
an anti-Hill man, but am reliably
informed that the two made up their
differences more than a year ago. This
explains why Hill mounted the platform
yesterday to place him in nomination
Until Judge Parker was heard from
Hill had been standing with McCarren
for CIRCUITS nomination.
It will thus be seen that the nomina'
tion Of Herrick was made directly In
the. interest Of harmony and. yet it may
fail to secure that result. Already the
Evening Post, the chief mouthpiece OF
the Independent democrats, has bolted

SHALL PRIMARY
LAW Be CHANGED?'
Those Who Participated in the
Recent Campaign Have
Varying Ideas.
Some Object to Burden Imposed,
Others Think Results Justify
the Method.

One of the first fruits of the latest
trial Of the primary election law is pre-
sentedsi in the form of crop Of opinions
as to what might or what might not be
done to the law as it exists. These
opinions, given by candidates more or
less successful, should be Of value to the
citizen who has made~the law a mat
ter Of study as well as practice and to
the legislator who may be called upon
during the next session to consider some
changes in the law.
Many of the candidates express them
selves we'll satisfied with the law as it
stands. Some of them who were not
successful even praise it for the high
class of candidates it has produced this
year. Others oppose it for the results
possible under. it's workings.
The general tone of the criticisms
passed upon the law, however, is ia
vorable to it's retention in the present
form, altho one novel suggestion made
is that candidates shall be nominated at
a convention but that the delegates to
this convention shall! be elected by vot-
ing on regularly printed ballots.
The sVmposium follows:

Some change should be made in the

with dread. because of tho shock to
