made particularly good address, the delegates
for a wonder. remaining perfectly quiet Finally
he walked down the aisle and stood by the seat
of Murphy. He made such hit that shouts OF
Platform" brought him up.
Progressive Democracy was the theme of his
speech. and he held that Hearst was the leader
OF this movement. His speech was loudly
cheered. and there was bedlam for some time
When Chemung County was called John B.

John n, Carlisle, on an Essex County proxy
spoke at some length.
Il came here from Essex County, as have

Jefferson Your whom you want to nomi-
nate talks against bossism What do you think
OF that?"
Mr.. Carlisle then started right in without
gloves and attacked Hearst He had the dele
gates in an uproar In moment But they ad-
mired him. and did not poke fun at him.
Il stand here and protest against the sale
Of thesDemocratic party" said Mr.. Carlisle
What the price?" he continued you
Hearst men say that the issue is anti-bossism

attacked Grady and Cochran
Every and woman in this hail. and
practically every Democrat in the state, now
knows that these men have led the Democratic

II was TO single out any man and call him
by name and call him liar I would not get out
of this hall alive" he continued But this man

your leaders in prison stripes"
MURPHY STANDS THE FIRE.
This apparent reference to Murphy caused del
egates to jump up and stare at Murphy He sat
perfectly unconcerned. Mr. Meagher then said
he meant no personal reference but wished TO
illustrate his point
Il mean to say this" he said. IF I stood here
and accused a delegate here of being a thief 7
would expect to get killed before I could get TO
the door. but II owned paper and In a sneak

or that paper TO call men thieves and TO saw thnt
the leader Of Tammany Hall should be in stripes
"hat KIND or a candidate for Governor woula
I be?

Mr.. Meagher's speech made a tremendous I'M
preston.
Men Jumped on chairs and looked at the Tam
many delegates

Murphy himself sat sullenly. his face redder
than usual. The convention at this stage was a
bear garden 1t looked as II there might be a
stampede from Hearst.
Senator Grady jumped up and motioned the
Tammany men 20 Jump up.
Then a fist fight broke out close behind Sem

and mob rule a semblance Of quiet was re- |
stored
