CHANLER AND DIX ARE NAMED Democratic Ticket in
 New York. BURTON HARRISON PASSED Harmonious Convention Puts Out
 Platform. Accuses Governor Hughes of specta- cuIar seif-Adyertising And Talk ing Away From People Their
 Personal Liberty.

Governor Hughes and pledges earnest support to the Denver platform and candidates. the Democratic State Con- vention nominated as the head of It's ticket for Governor, the present Lieu of the State. Lewis stuyvesant chanler of Duchess County.
 The ticket decided upon by the lead CTS. with one exception. seemed to meet the approval of all the delegates and the nominations were made with enc thusiasm until the office of the State Engineer and Surveyor was reached. The conference candidate for this of- fee was Philip P. Farley of Brooklyn. an anti-McCarren man.
 Senator McCarren. amid the cheers of his supporters, took the platform to resent an insult" He declared the nomination of Farley was agreed to without any regard to the Kings County delegation, and was intended to embarrass them. He declared he would always support Democratic nominees. but would not hold himself responsible for the action of people who felt themselves insulted. Farley make the nomination unanimous was lost by two or three scattering nega- tives.
 The convention adjourned without day after United States Senator Gore of Oklahoma had made brief ad- dress.
 A night of conference looking to the selection of state ticket was follow ed this morning in the few hours be- fore convention time by the further consideration of the leaders of a tenta- tive ticket which has been down for ratification by the delegates.
 All through the night delegates from the various counties visited the leaders and urged the claims of their respec- tive candidates. William F. Sheehan of New. York made an effort to secure the selection of D. Cady Herrick of New York and held numerous confer ences with county leaders. ,, Meanwhile Mr. Murphy and the Tam many leaders talked of one candidate and then another. but gave no indica- ton of committing themselves to any man.
 State Chairman Corners insisted that Lieutenant Governor ChanIer should be named and declared that the majority of the delegates were for him. When 1t was practically decided to place MT. Chanler at the head of the ticket, the rest of the slate was quickly drafted and the conference adjourned:
 The selection of Mir. Dix as the can didate- for Lieutenant Governor came as & big shock. assit was taken for settled since early last evening that Francis Burton Harrison of New York. would be the choice. It Is believed that the leaders desired to strenrthen the ticket by naming a far-up state man.
 The preference of Mir Harrison far Congress aIeo was coas'tered in nak- ing the substi LtiVn.
 Thomas P. Gore, tho United States SanQfOY from 0IfI1 on the platform W en the convention was called to order more than an hour after the appointed time. The delay in taking up the W. rk of the day wa due to the fact that the com mittee on solutions was not ready to report.
 The chairman of the credentials com mittee reported that there were no to be submitted to the uonven- tion. Cheers followed the nnounce- ment.
 Judge Alton B. Parker. permanent chairman was introduced to the con vention amid enthusiastic cheers. Judge Parker was liberally applaudcd t. roughout his speech, a the concIu- sion of which the committee on reso- lutions reported.
 New York Platform,
 On national politics and candidates the platform says:
 "The Democracy of New York. in State convention assembled. reafirms all renews its allegiance and devotion to the fundamental principles of the Democratic Party. and heartily endors- es the platform edopted and the candi- date named by the Democratic Nation al Convention at Denver and we pledge to both. our hearty, earnest and en- thusiastic support.
 "The Democratic Party is the r4- tional exponent of the hopes and wishes of the to.ling masses in their lifelong struggle against class privil- ege and greed and 1t reiterates it's abiding faith In the principles of De- mocracy as against plutocracy.
 We hall as the embodiment of the best traditions of our party and as the ideal exemplars of Democratic doe trine. the standard bearers chosen by the united Democracy of the country IS our leaders in this campaign against the organized forces special privil- eges and legalized pu' lie speculation.
 "Mr. Bryan has been for years con spicuous Tn the public eye and against 1is character, motives, or private life no suspicion of any kind has ever arIs an With no army of public officials ready at his beck and call to control with no government departments or ganized so as to coerce corporations | md financial interests into contribut- ng to his campaign fund. his nomina- ion has come as the spontaneous re- ,ponse to the wish of the great mass | ,f his party and represents the aspi- | rations and hopes of the rank and file ,f the Democracy throughout the na- lion.
 Like Thomas Jefferson. and Andrew Jackson, the great leaders of the Dem | ocratic Party in its early days. his pol | cies and his political motives have | been bitterly assailed by privileged in- | .erests whose supremacy Is dangerous l Lo the institutions of our country. Liks | Jefferson and Jackson he has repellad all the attacks made on him and he is ,tronRer today than ever before in inc 1 ffections and confidence of the people. Nr- Bryan does not stand for an at fack on honestly acquired wealth. His election will restore the administration of Federal Government to the ideas Of inc fathers and assure to the country \ safe, sound, stable, economical and execution of the law.
 NO greater praise can be given to Mfr. Kern. and no less Is his due, than
