Rochester, N. Y, Sept 16.-The DEM
Dcratic state convention reassembled
1t IL o'clock this morning. the delay
in converting being due to the fact that
the resolutions committee was not able
10 report. The chairman Of the cre-
dentials committee reported there
were no contests to be submitted to
the convention. Cheers followed the
announcement. Judge Alton B. Par
ker, permanent chairman, was intro
duced amid enthusiastic cheers.
Change Made in Slate.
Just before the convention was
called to order, w. j. Conners, chair
man OF the state committee, and
Charles w. Murphy, the Tammany
Hall leader, gave out the following
forecast Of nominations:
Goyernor-Lewis S,tuyvesant Chan
Ter.
Lieutenant Governor A. Dix.
Secretary Of State--John S. Whalen.
Comptroller-M n. Glynn.
Attorney General--Geo NJ. Pal
mer.
Treasurer-Julius Hauser.
This slate, with the exception of the
candidate for lieutenant governor. Is
the same as was decided upon early
this morning, at the end of an all-night
conference.
The selection by the leaders of Dix
as the candidate fer lieutenant gov
ernor came as big surprise. as II
was taken for settled that Francis
Burton Harrison, of New York, would
be the choice It is believed the lead
ers desired to strengthen the ticket
by naming far-up-state man. DIX
is 4 member OF one of the oldest
families in the state. The preference
Of Harrison for congress was con-
sidered in making the substitution.
Platform Epiogixes Bryan.
The platform heartily endorses the
nlatform and candidates nominated by
the national convention and pledges
both hearty, earnest and enthusiastic
support Of the candidates 1t says:
aBryan has been for years consplc-
nous in the public eye, and against MS
character, motives or private life no
suspicion Of any kind has ever arisen
with no army OF public officials ready
IT his beck and call to control the par
ty machinery, with no government de-
partments organized SO as to coerce the
cornorations and financial interests IN
to contributing to his campaign fund,
his nomination has come as a spon-
4aneous response to the wish of q great
mass Of his party and represents the
asnirations and hopes Of the rank and
Ale of democracy thruout the nation.
like Thomas Jefferson and Andrew
Jackson. the great leaders of the DEM
ocratic barty in It's early days, his poll
icies and political motives have been
hitterly assailed by the privileged in
+erests whose supremacy Is dangerous
70 the institutions Of our country. Like
Jefferson and Jackson he has repelled
all attacks made upon him and is
stronger today than ever before in the
affections and confidence of the people.
Bryan does not stand for an attack
upon honestly acquired wealth. HIS
election will restore the administration
of the federal government to the IDEAS
of the fathers, ard assure to the coun-
try a safe, sound, stable, economical
and constitutional execution OF the law.
"No greater praise can be given 70
Kern, and no less is his due, than to
say he is in every way worthy TO pc
Bryan's associate on the national TICK
et.''
The platform charges the republican
state administration with gross waste
Slate Put Thru.

troller Martin B. Glynn and state
Treasurer julius Hauser were re-nom-

Mccarren Repudiates Farley.
George NJ. Palmer was nominated for
attorney general. There came a halt
IN the celerity with which the state
leaders were being put thru when the
offici of state engineer and surveyor
was reached when the conference can
didate. Philip P. Farley, Of Kings
county, was placed in nomination
Queens county offered Leonard G. L.
Smith in opposition. Senator McCar-
rem arose, as he said, to resent the IN
suit. He protested vigorously against
Farley's nomination, saying the Kings
county organization did not want him
and had no candidate for any office.
McCarren closed with seconding the
nomination of Smith. Farley was NOM
mated, 321 to 81.
The convention adjourned without
delay, after Senator Gore, of Oklaho-
ma had made a brief address.
