The Democratic City Convention at Carnegie
Hall last night nominated the foregoing ticket.
Messrs Mcclellan and Metz were agreed on long
ago by Murphy and McCarren. and there was
no surprise in their being named Mr. Nc
MCGOWAN was not brought forward till Wednes-
dav night. Because Of the early knowledge
about the two leading places on the ticket there
was little enthusiasm at the convention. except
in spots.
Mayor Mcclellan got hearty greeting Theh
he came in at 11:15 O'Clock to accept the nom
ination The other applause feature was the
heartipess of the greeting to Senator Patrick
H NrCarren when he moved to make the nom
ination Of Mcclellan by acclamation, There was
an intensity. snap and roar to it that left little
doubt what would happen to Charles F
Murphy's leadership if McCarren should decide
to take up a voting residence in Manhattan.
Mayor Mcclellan, in his speech of acceptance.
frtirnated that if reelected he should regard
the claims of his Office above those of partisan
shin. and that his denomination would not bind
him 10 continue in Office any head of depart
rnent if circumstances warranted the retirement
of that official.
The platform came out strongly for municipal
ownership but it was framed so that it could
be read both ways, the same as usual.
one of the pleasing features OF the night was
the hearty applause which greeted the resolu-
ton commencing President Roosevelt for his
successful efforts in bringing about peace be
tween Russia and Japan. It was new thing
in Tammany convention.
A CHILLY ATMOSPHERE.
COMPARED with the convention of two years
ago. last nights affair carried an Arctic frigidity
which chilled the bravest Tanmany blood. The
first note Of Joy sounded when Charles F. Muir
tho ais a fIIrtiVe
smile. while the band blared "Tammany." Sen
ator McCarren did not get hand
All preparations we're made for an elaborate
celebration of Tammany's administration and
q fine start for a new race. Carnegie Hall, from
ceiling to floor was draped with the national
colors. and every delegate was supplied with
small flag.
The hall was comfortably filed. but there
.,,aarad no vast public demand for seats.
