From Stan Correspondent OF The Tribune. J
Syracuse, oct. 3.--Having been manipu-
lated last night TO give the appearance OF
being Embossed" in the matter Of select
ing candidates Cor Governor and Meu-
tenant Governor. the Democratic State
Convention reassembied this morning and
placed IT'S rubber stamp on the rest Of the
ticket as agreed to by Charles r. Murphy
and his small group OF suo-bosses.
AS had been predicted. Murphy and tho
other leaders, believing their entire ticket
mad a good chance OF election, threw
down the bipartisan proposition Of the
Republicans on the selection Of two candi-
dates for the Court Of Appeals. An out
and out Democrat was nominated for
each OF the two vacancies that will occur
on that bench on December 81. Neither of
these nominees-WilIiam Herman Guide
back. Of Erie, and John w. Hogan. OF
Onondag a-has ever been on the bench,
but Mr. Cuddeback ran once for Justice
of the Supreme Court.
Every member OF the present admins
. tration below Lieutenant Governor was
renominated with the exception OF Secre-
larry Of State Lazansky He was a cand!-
date for the nomination for Lieutenant
Governor, and was peeved when he did
not get the place. John II. McCooey, the
Kings County boss. tried TO pacify
Lazansky. but he refused TO go back on
the ticket for Secretary Of State. In his
place was named ex-Representative
Mitchell May. giving representation Of
the same time to Kings County ard the
Hebrew race.
1t was a rather sad affair. The nomina-
Sion Of Sulzer and Glynn did not seem 10
have enthused the delegates TO any great
extent They gathered slowly between 10
o'clock, when the session was supposed
10 begin, and Ills o'clock, when Judge
Parker let the gavei fall. In the mean
time Murphy and three or four of his
Teutenants were picking the ticket IN
Room as at the Onondaga, where Austen
g. Fox made a final plea for the oipar-
tisan judiciary arrangement and was
turned down.
When Murphy walked into the hall there
were perhaps two hundred spectators. It
was a hstless affair. not a single voice
being raised in opposition to any momber
OF the slate the boss had tucked in his
vest pocket.
Hector MEG. Curran, Of Kings, nomi-
mating Mitchell May. declared that he
might be compared favorably with the
Hebrew on the Bull Moose ticket"
Smiles spread over the faces OF those
who know him when the jovial Sheriff
Julius hamburger of New York took the
platform TO renominate Controller Sohmer.
They were prepared for some language. "
and they got IT,
Y am proud 10 stand here before you
when the gayel is welded by that great
Democrat. Alton b. Parker" was the
SherifPs first bid for applause. Then lie
: insisted that New York was proud to
name q man for Controller who was
noted for his fidelity to the organiza-
honr Those who are enjoying the pat
ronage of Controller Sohmer smiled
placidly. Then Harburger threw a whole
basket Of flowers at Murphy. Speaking
of Sohmer, he said: "He Is follower and
typical OF the greatest leader that New
York State has ever had. Charles IT,.
Murphy" That woke up the Tammany
boys for just minute.
There had not been q single second to
the nomination Of May. but the counties
fell over one another 10 second that Of
Controller Sohmer, who has had not few
iobs at his disposal from time TO time.
In seconding the denomination Of John
]. Kennedy, of Buffalo, for State Treas
urer an enthusiastic delegate declared, in
a wild burst of rhetoric: If Erie claims
him as a son, Niagara claims him as a
grandson"
For Attorney General Thomas Carmody.
of Penn Yam, who now holds that Office,
was presented by Calvin j. Huson, State
Commissioner OF Agriculture. There be-.
Ing no other names presented, Mr.. Car
mody was declared nominated.
Charles r. fireman, OF Tompixins, ex-
Public Works Commissioner, put in re-
nomination his dear personal friend.
John A. Bensel," for State Engineer and
Surveyor.
There were only two nominations for
the Court OF Appeals.
There are two vacancies TO be filed"
said Judge Parker, chose that will be
caused by the retirement OF Judges Haight
and Vann. Notwithstanding there are only
two nominations. the statute seems TO re-
quire that we have two rollcalls."
Mr.. Cuddeback was nominated first, be-
cause Erie came before onondaga on the
roll. II was all 30 perfunctory that the
delegates began to stream out of the hall.
Judge Parker appealed to them in vain
10 fernaifs There was not response 70
the rollcan audible, but all the votes were
counted for the candidates Just the same,
AS his convention came to e close
Charles II. Murphy chatted with Senator
Foley, his lieutenant, broad smile play
ing over his features, and seemingly as
well pleased with the result as II the con-
yention had been labelled "bossed" " In
stead Of Embossed"
