New-York tribune., 1906-09-12


William r Hearst last night decided 70 have
his convention nominate full state ticket and
the names that put on tonight win be
nailed fast and clinched. The pupils IN the anti
boss school under Mr.. Hearst have been apt
learners. They are against all bosses-even Mr.
Hearst himself. who secretly favored a fusion
with the regular Democrats at Buffalo on Sep
tember 25. The -upils refuse 70 abide by the
advice Of the would-be trimmers They insise
on a fun straight ticket. without subsequent
trading.
Doubtless an attempt will be made 70 coercs
some Of the nominees TO be named tonight TO
get off the ticket the day that the Democrats
name their ticket in Buffalo. so as TO racilitate
the substitution OF the names OF certain reg
ulars. Judging by the temper Of the Delegates
last night any such experiment. VIII be hazard
Gus. The naming OF the ticket was left last
night 70 the committee platform. of which
Clarence J. Shearn IS chairman THIS commit
tee consists OF one delegate from each Assem-
bly, district II will struggle all day to-day
with the construction OF a ticket Mr. Hearst
will dominate IL. He Is the boss of the sttua
ton He has paid the freight" and there Is
no objection TO his naming all the places on the
ticket.
Max F. Ihrnsen presented 90 The convention th,
communication from William ]. Conners, OF Buf-
falO. asking that the Independence League defer
making nominations until the Democratic con-
vention at Buffalo September % II was re-
ferred 70 the committee on resolutions. with in
structiOns TO draft suitable reply and WITH tha
further instruction that It was the sense OF the
convention that full state ticket be nominated.
CONVENTION A SUCCESS.
The convention. from almost any point OF
view. was pronounced success. There was i'm
mensity IN numbers and Intensity IN enthu
siasm.
Carnegie Hall never Witnessed a more spirited
demonstration than took place last night when
the name Of Mr.. Hearst was cheeref enthusiasts
tieally for twenty-five minutes. The Madison
Square Garden demonstration for Mr.. Bryan was
a "stilly night and an echo IN a wilderness In
comparison with ft Willard A Glenn. OF syra-
euse hayed the trusts and oppressors IN the
morning. and Justice Samuel Seabury. OF the
City Court. knouted them at night. II was an
oratoricaI barbecue IN which there was an abun-
dance of roasting and an appreciatfve audience
The platform was the finest brand OF goods that
the well known political purveyors Brisbane.
Hearst & Shearn, are exploiting in this year OF
grace Mr.. Brisbane was hand to see that
the beauties of the goods were well displayed BY
Mr.. De Ford the able coadjutor. and the Gus
toners went away believing that the fabric win
not shrink or show trust dollar marks. no matter
how long it is worn.
One Of the greatest hits OF the evening last
night was a chunky named Edward 5.
Toadvin. Hearst leader IN the 25rh Assembly
District He brought TO tho convention ansoil-
cloth banner inscribed:
1--WE want a straight ticket
STRAIGHT TICKET BANNER CHEERED.
That's all there was on the banner, bat ths
helmet OF Navarro never gladdensd the hsarts
of people more than that Inscription IN Carnegie.
Hall last night. Toadvin started around tho
hall with IL when the cheering for Hearst began
and in a few seconds he had endless chain
OF banners svirling and waving aroud the aisles.
The straight ticket idea may be posar to-
the uaazers. but IL IS what the radicals want,
and they served notice. 90 that effect last
night
