TAMMANY HOLDS
FULL POWER IN
THE CONVENTION
BOSS MURPHY HAS ENOUGH
VOTES PLEDGED TO CON-
TRCL SITUATION,
Judge Parker Made Chairman of the
Convention-Shepard Leads for the
Nomination But Tammany May Not
Decide Upon Him.

Rochester, N Y, Sept. 29.-With
2l3 out of 450 votes in his control,
Charles F. Murphy, ledear of Tam
many Hall, was in position to domi-
nate the democratic state convention
here today.
Murphys power came through a
coalition of delegates from New
York, Kings, Queens and Erie coun-
ties, and thus far no upstate comyl-
nation has been strong enough to
threaten the supremacy of the leaders
from the two largest cities of the
state.
Governorship Mudde.
The conference adjourned last
night with the question of candidates
unsettled, as efforts to induce James
s. Havens to withdraw from the race
for the gubernatorial nomination
were futile.
Supporters of Edward M. Shepard
acknowledge that the nomination of
their man depends upon Murpny's
attitude, but they point to his reiter-
ated declaration that upstate dele
gates would be allowed to name the
ticket.
Murphy is said to he weighing
Shepard's availability with increasing
doubt.
Havens' managers claim he has
more than $50 delegates, and it was
anybody's race shortly before the con
vention met at noon
Division Over Platform.
The task of turning out a satisfac.
tory platform appears to be giving
Shepard and his assistants consid-
cradle trouble.
The democratic league and the
progressive democrats demand a di.
rect primary plank, broad enough
to attract those not satisfied with
the efforts of The republican conven-
tion in this direction, and there is
much discussion about which plank
should be the main one, some favor
ing the tariff issue, while direct pri-
maries appeal most to others. Many
favor an attack on the new national
ISM and a defense of the United
States supreme court against the at
tacks of Theodore Roosevelt.
Murphy in Conference.
A steady trend against Shepard
was one conspicuous movement of
the morning.
Murphy summoned his lieutenants
and some of the upstate leaders to
his rooms at an early hour to discuss
the candidates. The names of SUI
preme Court Justice James Gerard, of
New York, and Martin H. Glynn. of
Albany, occurred most often in the
gossip that leaked out from the con-
ference.
The supporters of Havens are less
confident this morning.
Immediately after the delegates
convened Judge Alton B. Parker. for.
mer democratic presidential candi-
date, was elected temporary chair
man and delivered the opening ad.
dress.

number of effective .fighting@men in the
opposing for rcs, so that it. can be seen
lat glance how nearly equaHy balanced
the two armies were.s The rebels al
ways contend that they were beaten by
superior numbers l have as Stoutly
maintained that they were beaten by
superior generalship son the part of
Gen. Grant, backed up by our boys,
with their unquenchable American Valor
and endurance. fGrantJ completely
outgeneraled Lee from tie time he
started into the Wilderness until he
compelled Lee to surrender at Apo
mattOX, and the whole wolh ought to
be told the story in no uncertain words.
The attempt to place Lee atfhe head of
the column of American soldiers by the
rebels and their sympathiZers is an at
tempt to falsify history, ana should be
met with the plains unvarniEhed truth.
[ consider Gen. Grant's campaign with
the Army of the Potomac the ablest
and greatest in the history of the world,
and when critically examined from
military standpoint my opinion will be
completely vindicated. Gen. Lee was
defeated by our second-class Generals
every time he invaded the North, and
should be placed in that class. notwith-

The brave rebel officer who led his
men up to our guns was Capt. VIM. T.
Meurel, of the 4th Tenn. Cav The way
this cavalry officer came to be leading
in this charge was, according to an ac-
count given me by Second Lieut.. Small
ley, who was at the time in charge of
Gen. Forests cavalry escort or body
guard, as follows:
Just after Gen. Pickett began to
move forward to the charge Gen. For
rest wished to send 4 dispatch to Gen.
Pickett, and he called Capt McureI to
him and said: Here is dispatch that
must reach Gen. Pickett before he gets
very far. You are the only man wish
to trust it with, for 1 know you will
deliver it, 1t is a desperate chance and
almost sure death"
The Captain left his horse and ran
forward The men were falling fast as
he reached Gen. Pickett Just then this
company of men had lost all of their
officers and Capt. Meurel took the
command of them. His color bearer
went down in the terrible storm of can
ister from our guns, and then he
grabbed up the flag and carried it to
our guns.
Lieut.. Snallcy had been in command
of Gen. Forests bOdYguard of cavalry
at the time of the battle OF Gettysburg
for over two years and was for two
years after. I asked him how he knew
the story of Capt. Neurel, and he said:

our guns pointed almost directly toward
the Coduri House. Soon there were a
few shots from the ridge behind the
Coduri House.
We were ordered to answer these
shots. Almost the first shell we fired
was detective, and it exploded at the
