l
 For state engineer and surveyor, Frank Getman of Tompkins.
 For attorney general, John Ford of New York.
 A committee was appointed to invite Mir. Hearst to the platform. Mir. Hearst said:
 T will reply to the nomination with which you have honored me in a formal letter. I will only say brief word now to congratulate this convention on it's splendid work. believe that the American government should be placed directly in the hands of the American people. This convention is first step and long step toward that end.
 q am honored to have been nominat- ed by this convention. I am proud to run on this platform. I am devoted heart and soul to the principles ex- pressed in every line of it.
 T have said that my programme is not socialism or radicalism or extreme of any kind. It is simply American ism. If this platform is not American ism then common honesty is no longer a measure of American morals. If this platform is not Americanism then a free ballot and fair count Is no longer the basis of our American gov ernment. If this platform is not Amer icanism then independence, equality and opportunity have ceased to be American ideals and Jefferson's teach ings have been forgotten and Lincoln's labor was in vain.
 "We promise to sweep from the pub- lie payroll the servants of private in- terests. We promise nominations that are not bossed and elections that are not bought. We promise considera- tion and representation for the produc. ing masses.
 We promise to abolish class distinc. tion and class legislation and to re- store a government for the greatest good of the greatest number. We ask in return the honorable support of all honest men. If that is deal it is a square deal 1 congratulate this con- vention on giving the people the first square deal they have had in years. q nave said that I am an optimist and that believe that the American people, under the guidance of the Al. 1 mighty, will solve all their problems for their own benefit and for the bene. | fit of all humanity.
 "I am more hopeful tonight than ever before. I believe we have begun well our great work and that the solution of all our difficulties lies within the able minds and loyal hearts of typical | American citizens like yourselves" With the nominating of q full ticket the convention adjourned, and the 1900 delegates and their alternates will return to their homes in all parts of the state.
