Fogr Of Albany.
Fer state Enpiuesr-MIcHAEL j. Ca
FrIro Of Kings.
For associate Judge Of the Court Of APP
rtai. REUBEN r. LYoS Of Steuben.
The nomination Of candidates was ex-
ceeded in interest by the speech which
was made by Mr.. Hearst. in which he read
some more letters regarding Standard
Oil, and it was after II o'clock before the
convention was permanently organized.
The hall had been packed and jammed.
but with MIR. Hearst's speech out Of the
way there was an exodus, and many
many empty seats remained. There
we're nominally about 500 delegates,
one for every 500 votes cast under the
scales in 1905.
BIT when it came to vote every one
in the hall voted. good many of the
delegates were sore because they had to
stand in the aisles while mere curiosity
seek ers had front seats
James A. Allen. who presided, made
a shor. speech in which he hailed Mr..
Hearst as the great champion Of the COM
mon people" whereat some folks with
COW bells made great noise. The big:
Cest noise came. however, when a loud
voiced man sang out, Who got Teddy
Roosevelt working ertime?" and was
answered by shouts OF -Hearst!'
MIR. Hearst came in while the conven-
ton was waiting on its committees. The
crowd spotted him at the door and though
he sat down with the New York delegates
he was yanked quickly out Of his seat
and made to take the platform. For
over ten minutes the delegates and spec
tators let themselves out. He was hailed
good, finally being called by one lusty
"lunged enthusiast sitting on the platform
THE expounder of exposure and the in
dicator Of independence. which made
him laugh.
Oil letters is given elsewhere. or the
State campaign he said:
One OF the old parties has nominated
Mr. Hughes. who throughout his term
has served the great privileged interests
with the consummate skill OF trained
corporation lawyer. He has created public
service commissions which have spent
BY the millions the money Of the people
and whose only service has been to pro-
tect corrupt corporations in the pillage OF
the people.
Mr.. Hughes vetoed the two cent rail-
road fare bill and the five cent Coney Island
fare bill. He has protected on every side
the corporations which own him and has
overlooked on every side the people who
elected him.
His opposition to racetrack gambling
is creditable and would amply Justify his
election as town marshal, but his abject
subservience to privileGed interests is not
creditable and does not Justify his reelec-
: tfna as Governor. - a. T.,
The other old party has nominated Mr..
Chanier who has been worn smooth in the
past two years as the pocket piece OF Charley
Murphy. He was not a very deep die to
begin wlth out what little character ne hau
has been rubbed of by constant contact
with Charley Murphy's soiled thumb.
The head has gone from one side OF the
pocket piece. the tail has gone from the other
the date has disappeared. and even the
motto In God We Trust is no longer de-
cipherable.
Yos independent voters OF New York
took Mr.. Chanler from obscurity. You
nominated him. You elected him. and the
very day he took ONCE he surrendered you
into the hands OF your enemies.
Mr. Shearn was chairman Of the COM
mittee which drew up the platform. This
praised Mr.. Hearst for supplying damn
Ing evidence Of corrupt corporation oon-
troll" and "arousing the national CON-
science by it, denounced Mr.. Chanler as a
-reneg,d candidate for Governor. who
had used his election by the Independence
League as means Of betreying the people.
and then proceeded 10 attack Gov.
Hughes's administration as being utterly
lacking In any affirmative action, though
clean and honorable"
The Governor is praised for his fight
against the racetraoks, but abused for
shutting his eyes against Stock Exchange
gambling and for failing to remove Mr..
Jerome. The Public Service commits
sons are attacked as -an expensive joke.
The platform contains q pledge to enact
