These tickets we're selected ast night ot
the Tammany county aud borough con
vent i6iis, hs.l,l In tho Fourteenth street head.
quarters. The gathering was marked by
perfect harmony and much enthusiasm.
Every nomination was made by the
casting of ono ballot by Thoina' T.
Smith. the secretary Of the convention.
Interest IA to what action would bc taken
with regard to jerome had lot to do with
tho large attendance. Up to the moment
almost when the county convention was
opened the iss ne was in doubt Several Of
the Tamnany leaders were in favor Of the
Endorsement Of Jerome in order to pile up
as large plurality as possible for Mayor
, Of the executive committee decided finally
that the outlook for Democratic success
this year was safe enough to warrant the
putting up Of straghtout Tammany
candidate.
The time set for calling the convention
to order was 7;30. but 1t was nearly an hour
later when work began. The delay was
caused by the failure OF Charles +. Murphy
and the members OF the executive COM
mittee to reach an agreement on the candi-
date for District Attorney. There were at
least FIVE names talked over 10y the COM
mitteemen. Among the five were Recorder
Gof1. Eugene Philbin. Austen q. Fox and
James W. Osborne. The only point upon
which the committee was agreed was that
District Attorney Jerome would not be
chosen.
Mr.. Jerome's name, it is understood, was
mentioned soon after the committee got
down to business, and it was determined
then and there that he was not needed to
bring votes to the Democratic ticket.
The convention was called together shortly
after $50 o'clock. Magistrate Charles c.
Wahle in opening the proceedings named
Charles Fl. Knox as the temporary chair
man. Mr.. Knox made five minute speech
in which he mentioned the name OF Mayor
Mcclellan, and at least two of the five
minutes were taken up by the cheering
As soon as Mr. Knox got through the con-
vention proceeded to business The tenn
porary organization was made permanent.
Senator Tom Grady presented resolution
approving Of the platform adopted at the
Democratic city convention at Carnegie
Hall week ago yesterday indosing the
nominations then made and adding this
paragraph:
@Resolped That we demand from the men,
bers Of Assembly nominated by the several
district conventions Of this organization
a public declaration Of their support Of
such legislation as will end the utter incon,-
potency and total disregard Of the rights of
policyholders displayed in the present mis-
mana cement OF the State Insurance Depart
ment and provide for resolute scrupulous
and constant supervision Of insurance
funds"
The candidates for the Supreme Court
were first placed in nomination. NJ. Marley
Platzek, who was at one time mentioned as
a possible choice, nominated Justice Glider
sleeve to succeed himself. I. c. T. Grain
made the seconding speech and Secretary
Thomas F. Smith of the convention was
directed to cast one vote for Justice Glider
sleeve.
To Corporation Counsel John j. Delany,
also an aspirant for place on the bench,
fell the duty Of nominating Justice Ingra-
ham. The audience, knowing that Mr..
Delany had been obliged to put of his am
bition for year. greeted him cordially.
Justice Ingraham was nominated by the
casting Of single ballot by the secretary,
as was also Joseph f. Newburger of the
Court Of General Sessions, who was put in
nomination by Col. Asa Bird Gardiner and
seconded by Senator Jacob Marks and City
Court Justice Conlin.
That Senator Tom Grady IL as popular
as ever with the Tammanyites was evil
cienced when he rose to nominate T. G.
OSulhvan to fill the vacancy on the General
Sessions bench. After the nomination had
been seconded by ex-senator Charles L.
Guy. Senator Grady moved that the choice
of Mr.. Sullivan should be made by aoclama-
ton, and his suggestion was adopted with
a whoop.
The most interesting moment of the
convention was reached when the time
came for the nomination Of a District At
torney. Very few OF those in the conven-
ton knew what was coming.
When John F. Mcintyre was nearing
the end OF his speech Of nomination every
attempt at cheer was Immediately quieted
by murmurs of "Sh-h." In naming James
w. Osborne Mr.. Mcintyre said:
Under the conditions which now exist
it is recognized that there will be inducted
into office on January 1 next Democratic
administration. But. that condition can
only be continued so long as the Demo-
cratic party puts up reputable men for
election to public Office and to places Of
trust and to uphold the hands Of our Mayor,
George b. Mcclellan.
There will be inducted into Office next
january a successor to the present District
Attorney. [Cheers.l 1t has been mooted
in the press and in other quarters that
Tammany had not in Its midst a man Of
sufficient calibre and having sufficient
public confidence as to be worthy the Office
OF District Attorney. That is wrong.
promise to submit to you the name Of
Tammany Hall Democrat who is in every
respect worthy OF this Office and about
whose Democracy there has never been
suspicion.
