COHNOR'S SLATE
GOES THROUGH
Some Surprise Caused by SeleC-
tiOnS But Rank and File Accepts
With MeekneSS --Chdnler Is
Named for Governor, Dix
for Second Place.

Rochester, Sept 16.-The fight
which McCarren yesterday threatened
to bring into the state Democratic
convention if his delegates were not
seated was called off as the result of
an all night conference and the con-
vention concluded its work in better
harmony by nominating a state ticket
this afternoon. The ticket is as fol-
lows:
Governor-Louis stuyvesant Chan
Ter.
Lieutenant Governor-John A. Dix.
Secretary of State-John Whalen.
mptroller-Martin II. Glynn.
Attorney General-George NJ. Pal
aer
Treasurer-Julius Hauser.
With McCarren agreeing not to
precipitate q fight in the convention
by introducing a resolution for the
election of new state committee, as
he threatened to do yesterday, the
convention became harmonious. Will
liam j. Connors, state chairman, and
Charles f. Murphy, leader of Tam
many hall, held lengthy confer
ence lasting nearly all night and this
mo1ning they gave out the slate,
which was speedily PUT through when
the convention met.
William F. Sheehan insisted on
backing d. Cady Herrick for COVER
nor but Connors insisted that Lieu
tenant Governor Chanler be named
and early this morning it was agreed
that Chanler should be given the
place. When the slate was announced
the name of Dix as lieutenant gever-
nor created sensation as it was
thought to have been settled that
Francis Burton Harrison, of New
York, would be named. 1t Is believed
the leaders desired to strengthen the
ticket with an up state man and at
the same time keep Harrison for
congressional nomination.
The convention was not called to
order for an hour after the appoint
ed time as the resolutions committee
was not ready to report When it
did finally convene the credentials
committee reported that there were
no contests and this was followed by
cheers. While waiting for the COM
mittee on resolutions to report Judge
Alton B. Parker made an address.
Not the least striking feature OF his
speech was the declaration thai
James S. Sherman, presidential
nominee Of the Republican ticket, in
vaded Wall street in 1906 for cam
paign funds, when Sherman was
chairman of the congressional COM
mittee.
The evidence is not wanting" he
said, ''of the set purpose of the Re-
publican party to continue it's plans
of securing funds from those who are
interested either in legislation or the
non-enforcement of the law"
Parker charged the Republicans
with gross extravaganza in the fed
ersl administration He also told OF
a meeting between Hartman and
Roosevelt at Washington when the
president is alleged to have asked
Hartman for assistance in raising
funds
At the conclusion of his speech the
resolutions committee reported The
platform as finally adopted devotes
considerable attention to national
politics and candidates heartily en-
dorsing the national platform and the
national candidates Of the party. II
pays a glowing tribute to both Bryan
and Kern. In state issues the plat
form denounces all the Republican
governors since the administration OF
David b. Hill and says that the gov
ernment of the state by commission
j.. only another evidence Of the Re
publican policy Of Capitalization and
is in direct opposition 10 the prin'
ciples of government by the people.
After the adoption Of the platform
Chanler, Dix, Whalen, Glynn, and
Hauser We're all nominated by accla'
nation.
Great Preparations are being made
today for the reception of Bryan

meetings tonight the principal one a
