SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 21.-Out
of situation which at times seemed
almost impossible of amicable solu-
ton, the leaders of the Democratic
party today found way to unanimous
action, and this Afternoon the state
convention adjourned without day
after having nominated unanimously
the following ticket:
For governor, D. Cady Herrick, of Al
bany, at present justice of the state su
preme court; lieutenant governor, Francis
Burton Harrison, New York, now rep
resentative in congress from the Thir-
teenth district; secretary of state, John

(Republican), now Of that bench by des-
ignation by Gov. Odell and the Repub-

David B. Hill himself presented to
the convention the name of Supreme
Court Justice Daniel Cady Herrick, Of
Albany. Judge Herrick's name was
received with great enthusiasm and
Endorsed with cordial speeches of sup
port by representatives of three of the
elements whose attitude had been an
important factor in the serious situa-
ton which had formed the subject of
the conference. A rousing reception
was given to David B. Hill. A notable
feature of the convention was the dis
appearance of all open evidence of the
factlonal warfare between the Kings
county organization, headed by State
Senator Patrick H. McCarren, and
Tammany Hall under the leadership
of Charles F. Murphy.
Platform Declaration
The platform is chiefly devoted to
state issues. 1t 'tarraigns before the
bar of public judgment the one-man
power that today dominates the Re-
publican organization of New York
state. The people elected Benjamin B..
Odell Jr. to be governor. In palpable
violation of his sworn obligation to be
the impartial servant of the whole
people. he has assumed to act as state
chairman of a political machine. His
present dual relation constitutes a
public scandal and. amounts to the
grossest contempt of duty in the his
tory of the state. The Democratic
party is pledged to divorce the state
government from corruption and graft
and to the enforcement of the civil
service laws; non-partisan control of
the public schools is advocated and
good roads favored Of national is
sues the platform says:
We indorse the Democratic national
platform and resolutions adopted at ST.
Louis in July last, as a complete exposi-
tion of Democratic principles and pol
icies. upon all the living issues of the
present time. We approve the sound
sentiments so admirably expressed by our
national candidates in their speeches OF
acceptance We cordially indorse the
Democratic nominations for president and
vice president of the United States
The signs of the times point auspiciously
to a Democratic triumph. Not in many
years have the independent voters mani
tested so decided disposition to act with
the Democratic party. We unhesitatingly
promise the Democracy of the nation thai
the electoral vote of the Empire state
will be cast for Alton B. Parker and
Henry G. Davis.
