SCHENECTADY. Sept. 2s.--The nomination
Of W.. r. Hearst for Governor was received
with anything but enthusiasm by the Demo-
Gratis Of this city and county. The city is
one Of the greatest centres Of union labor
in the United States, with sixty-sevea
locals and an estimated membership Of
over Il, 200, vet the delegates from schenec-
tady voted for Dix in the Buffalo convention.
The Hearst papers have a large sale here
among the employees Of the General Elec-
trio and American Locomotive companies,
but there is nothing to indicate any unusual
enthusiasm among them for Hearst as a
candidate. The w~orkingmen are mostly
Republicans, and last year the county went
for Roosevelt by $500. 1t il expected that
this year they will stick to their party as
usual. a..
On the other hand, tho Democrats are
thoroughly disguised with the methods used
by Hearst and his paid agents at Buffalo,
and they declare that Hughes will have a
handsome majority in this county. They
figure that the votes Hearst will get from
Republican w~orkingmen will be offset twice
over by the Democratic votes that will be-
cast for Hughes. The Democratic organ
~ization. or what is left Of it, is lukewarm at
best for Hearst. Several of the leaders who
were interviewed did not wish TO be quoted
as being opposed TO Hearst, because they
wished To he considered regular :" but in
private they denounced the sale Of tAe
Iarty's emblem At Buffalo as a disgrace not
only to the State but to the whole nation.
They are particularly angry over the man
ner in which Murphy Of Tammany Hall sold
out to tue Hearst guPrrillas, and il il known
that many Of them will vote for Hughes.
AMSTERDAM, Sept. 2S.-The nomination
Of Hearst for Governor is very diSpleasing
to very many Of the old line Democrats Of
Montgomery county. A prominent Demo-
Graf Of this city made the prediction to-
night that Hearst would not receive half
Of the Democratic vote in this county.
The anti-Hearst Democrats we're par
t~icularly pleased at the announcement made
this afternoon that. Mayor Mcclellan Of
New York had bolted the Hearst ticket.
A movement will probably be started in
this city in a few days in opposition to
Hearst and the Democrats OF the county
will havea an opportunity to sign a declaration
that they will not support Hearst for Gov
ernor.

LowvIILE, Sept. 26,-Democrats ofTeWia
'ounty who have voted the Democratic
icket through thick and thin are disGusbed
NTH the nomination OF Hearst. They do
lot consider him q Democrat; and from the
manner in which he was nominated they
hink that they are released from all obli-
atoms to vote for the so-called Democratic

1t Democratic vote a Republican candidate

CORTLAND. Sept. 2s.-Old time Democrats
