Buffalo, n. II, Sept. es The most
turbulent Democratic state convention
in many years finished is work here
yesterday morning. II vas more than
turbulent. There was an atmosphere
d threat throughout the proceedings,
and although there was no open boil
by tlie opponents Of Hearst, ii was made
clear by them thar they did not regard
Hearst All Il Democrat, and that they
did not, therefore, consider themselves
hound by the action of the convection.
Many delegates declared there would be
10 party lines IN this state campaign.
They argned that iii adycnturef I'll
politics had been foisted on the party,
III representative III socialism III prac
tiec ana that even hidebound organim-
tion men We're not under any vblIea
ton to support the ticket.
II appears, however, FROM the talk
q the anti-Hearst men on the floor oil
the convention, that there would be b
serious split III the party. Some 81 them
agree Wifi District Attorney Jerome
that Tho best way ID show their resent
nent against the open sale Of the Dem
.ocratic party Is to yote directly for
Hughes.
Coekran's explanation Of his nop To
Hearst, whom Ne lias denounced as Il
Socialist. Is regarded Is the most rp-
markable speceh that has been delivered
before convention. and u is sure to
sbs aised Az campaign material BY the
Republicans. He declared that he pre-
ferred riot TO rottenness." thereby ae.
knowledging that, in his opinion. Hearst
represents riot. Ii was an astounding
admission, and even Tammany men are
saying that Cochran could not have been
ID his usual oFatorical form Wednesday
night.
The platform prepared by Cochran II
regarded as more clever than his speech.
III i in true Cochran wonv style, aud
Il designed To satisfy the Hearst radi.
Gals, while assuring the conservatives
that il II marvel * conservatism.
c. F. Murphy's Price.
Charles +. Murphy Says he IL delight
cd with the work OF the convention.
lie i not apparently disturbed by the
declaration ot George Raines that he il
licking the hand that struck him. He
came 70 Buffalo prepared to lick that
hand, and he has only done what he
agreed to do. Several speakers asked IN
the convention what was the price paid
for MurpIy's support The question
was unnecessary, Every New York del
exatc understood that Murphy bent the
knee ito Hearst ii order to gain his
support Tor Milrphy's judicial ticket.
Perhaps The agreement went further.
perhaps there were other considerations
in the contact. Beyond all this was
Murphy's thirst for revenge on Mayor
Mcclellan.
The support given to the Hearst
Murphy combine by the SulIisans caused
no surprise. II i now apparent that
the sullivans have been huncoinc Mayor
Mcclellan since January |. They pre-.
tended 20 be with him against Murphy,
and on the strength Of this pretense
they obtained many important Offices
from The mayor. They ARE now smoked
out and il can he safely stated that
the mayor win not be buncoed bv them
again. Their stand for Sulzer Ia the
caucus was farce. hey never held
any idea Of supporting him in the con-
fention.
The general opinion here Yesterday
was that in this campaign party lines
will he broken. Republicans and con-
seryativc Democrats will vote for Hughes
while Hearst win get Che radical vote
of both parties.
