Christian civilization and OF democratic

fruit.

Mr. Cooke said:
ALBANY county presents the name of
Democrat and a thoughtful Democrat,
who has ever opposed the drift from JEFF
fersonian doctrines; one who has ever
protested against the plundering of the
people by public service corporations; one
whose time and money have always been
engaged for the betterment OF labor; one
who has ever declared the prosperity OF
the individual depends upon the impartial
enforcement of the law; a true Demo-
crat. a true man and TRUE American,
William Randolph Hearst.
The delegates had become restless to-
ward the close Of Mr.. Cookies speech, and
his last words were so drowned in the
hum of voices that the name of Mr..
Hearst was barely heard.
Congressman Suzer Named.
Allegheny county seconded Mr. Hearst
anu DTOoMe county ndIneU congressman
William Suzer, sending George Raines of
Monroe 10 the stage to make the nomi-
mating speech. Suffers name was given

ally led the demonstration.
Mr.. Raines next referred to the candi-
dacy Of Mr. Hearst, and at the mention
of the name the delegates began to cheer.
the demonstration being far greater than
when Mr.. Hearst was actually named
MIR. Raines charged Hearst with infidel-
| ity to every Democratic trust repOsed in
him and to every Democratic principle
contained i'm the platform the convention
had adopted.
Searching for Hearst.
The friends of Hearst and those of Sui
/ Ter were constantly arrayed against each
other in the counter demonstrations. The
/ speaker charged Hearst with sending sal
aired agents throughout the state to form
/ an organization to nominate him for gov
/ ernOr. He referred to Mr. Hearst as a
driver of men with brutal lash"
Mr. Raines said that no arraignment he
/ could make of Mr.. Hearst would compare
| to the denunciatOry speech hurled at that
| same gentleman by Bourke Cochran at a
/ mass meeting i'm New York held under
/ the auspices Of Tammany Hall during the
| mayoralty contest last fall.
/ The party, he declared was to be sold
| out body and soul.
CALIFORNIA; Protest.
! A telegram was read by Mr.. Raines
/ from Timothy Spelissey. Democratic
state chairman of California, addressed to
/ Mr. Stanchfield. in which Mr.. Spellissey
said it seemed incredible to the Demo-
| Gratis OF California that the New York
/ convention should put forward for gov
! ernor a man who at the present time is
using every influence at his command TO
defeat the Democratic state ticket i'm Cal
/ ifCrnia.
Loud cheering followed the reading of
| the telegram, but there were calls of
! Hearst, Hearst" to combat the hostile
Mir. Raines bitterly declared that
/ Hearst's nomination would he wreathed
/ in the anarchism, socialism and oommun-
/ ism of the Hearst newspapers.
Dix Put Forward.
Thomas NJ Osborne of Cayuga county,
one Of the originators OF the Albany con-
! ference of anti-HeaFst Democrats took
nomination John A. Dix of Washington
| county, a nephew of the late Governor
! Dix of New York.
You can sell the Democrats name, it's
emblem and its organization, said Mr..
| Osborne. but you cannot sell the Demo-
cratic voters Out of the trail OF your
! dishOnor will rise new Democracy in
which you viii have no part
Mr. Osborne concluded in a perfect
storm of Interruptions, boots and ap-
| plause.

Hot Shot for Tammany.
Philip Meagher took the platform i'm be-
half of the Kings county delegation and
! made an imprisoned appeal for the con-
/ vention to take heed before il placed al
! the head of the Democratic ticket a man
like William r. Hearst
THE fact that Hearst has ridiculed
Tammany Hail. said Mr.. Meagher, may
be of no Importance. He has cartooneC
and Inundated Murphy, Cochran and
| Grady. but the Tammany delegation
! seems to think it is a joke That may be
| OF no Importance. But the fact remains
that this man to whom they would give
tho first place on our ticket is pretty near
succeeding i'm convincing every man, wO.
man and child in this state that the Dem
ocratc party is the party of corruption
and thieVeTy.
IF were TO stand here tonight and cal
any man in this hall a thief / would bt
tern limb from limb. But this mar
