BUFFALO, Sept. 17,—The day and the
weather were all that could be desired,
'and the city, in its holiday garb, could
not have appeared to better advantage.
There bras an excellent display of decora-
tion, and the usual cordial welcomesto
delegates to make themselves at home in
stOres, cafes and, restaurants were very
much in evidence. The streets in the
vicinit of the hotels, which are well
groups , were alive with delegates and
sightseers from an early hour, and the
hotel corridors were well nigh impassable.
Toward 11 o’clock the brass bands made.
their appearance before the hotels, and
tgan the gathering took on a more lively-
a .
There was a good deal of quiet, heat-
ed discussion as to the plans to be pursued,
but it seemed to be the general impression
that actual decision as to candidates would
be deferred until the convention had de-
CHAIRMAN GRADY.
aided upon permanent organization or had
taken a recess after the preliminary or-
ganization. At the same time it was giv-
e' out about 11 :30 o’clock that Tammany
would throw her support to the candidacy
of John Boyd Thacher. Kings county was
notified that it could have the nomina-
tion for lieutenant governor if it de-
sired it and was seeking about for a can-
didate. Up to 11 o’clock it had not dis-
covered one, although Edward M. Grout
was mentioned quite favorably. The late-
ness of the hour at which Tammany be-
gan its meeting delayed the crowds from
going to the convention, and it looked as
though there would be some delay in open-
ing the session.
The Tammany Meeting.
The entire Tammany delegation was
represented 'at the meeting, which was
called 'to order by William P. Mitchell.
Former Senator Michael Murphy was
unanimously chosen, as chairman and
John P. McGoldrick was similarly selected
for the place of secretary._ The roll call of
delegatesshowed each district represented,
and when .it was finished .a recess often
minutes, on , a’motion made by John C.
Sheehan, was taken toallow the delegates
from the senatorial districts to select rep-
resentatives for the committee on'Creden-
tials, permenant organization and resolu-
tions; also’to allow the delegates from the
congressional districts ,to select their presi-
dential electors.
When the meeting reconvened at the
conclusion of the recess, all were excluded
from the room except‘ the members of the
delegation, and the remainder of the ses-
sion was had behind closed doors. '
The session was a brief one, and, con-
trary to expectations, nothing but routine
business was transacted, such as the selec-
tion of representatives on committees and
the distribution of tickets At the con-
clusion of this work it was decided to take
a recess until after the temporary organ-
ization of the convention, when the dele-
gates will decide whom they will support
_ The choice will
probably be John Boyd Thacher for gov-
ernor, Isaac Catlin for lieutenant governor
and Robert Titus for judge of the court of
appeals, and this ticket will undoubtedly
be the choice of the convention.
Music hall, where the convention was
held, with the exception of the boxes, was
not adorned at all. The boxes were faced
with American flags and the proscenium
arch framed, in the same sort of decoration.
The assembling of the delegates, which
did not begin until after the noon hour,
was slow and rather tame. The band was
not very lavish with its music. There was
no system about seating the delegates, the
usual placards indicating each county’s
place being conspicuously absent. The
first applause was when John C. .Sheehan
entered the hall, and this came mostly
from the delegates. When Congressman
Sulzer strode in, somebody in the gallery
cried out, “Three cheers for the people’s
choice for governor!” and there was a
burst of applause from the gallery. This
same enthusiasm again woke the echoes by
proclaiming: “There are no ropes on,
Billy Sulzer.”
Senator Grady’s Speech.
It was 12:31 when the convention was
called to order and Chairman Hinkley an-
nounced that Senator Thomas F. Grady
had been selected as temporary chairman.
There was a burst of applause, and Nor-
man E. Mack and .Norton Chase, as an es-
cort committee, brought him to the plat-
form. _ -,
There was more than ordinary interest
given to Mr. Grady’s speech. The orator’s
personality had little if anything to do
with this. The temper of the delegates,
influenced by the many rumors of the
morning, was such that they sought light
upon the-attitude of the leaders. Mr.
Grady’s speech, it was thought, would
give a solution of the question, and evi-
dently the audience and the delegates
, found what they desired and were pleased.
Mr. Grady said:
“FELLOW Dancarns—As loyal repre-
sentatives of Democratic constituencies
you have assembled to again declare your
faith in Democratic principles, your re-
spect for Democratic authority and your
confidence in Democratic success. In this
respect you differ from some who were for
many years associated With you, using
their profession of Democracy as a mask
under which to conceal the, purely selfish
character of their political, actions, and
- who are now leagued’with your political
opponents, denouncing Democratic princi-
‘ pies, defying Democratic authority and
aiding, in so far as they may, to defeat the
Democratic candidates. ' You are not,
however, to be discouraged, much less dis-
mayed, because of the desertion of those
whose adherence to or dependence upon
the money power controls their political
action. Rather will you be inspired with
courageand confidence by the independ-
Advertise infill. Gan!!! .
' ence’ manifested by the great body of our
citizens who, finding in thcsconditions of
the pending campaign that the success of '
the Democratic cause is more closely identi-
fied with the best interests and highest as-
pirations ofthe plain people of the land
than has been the case since the days of
Andrew Jackson, are earnestly at work for
the triumph of your principles and the
election of your candidates. ‘ -
“True Democracy recognizes and ac-
cepts as the sovereign power in human
government the people ‘as a whole. It is
based upon the political equality of the
citizens. It is opposed to aristocracy‘of
every form and degree. 'It commands
obedience to the popular will lawfully ex-
pressed. It subordinates to the public
welfare every private lnterest.‘ Itnyields
no privilege to any element, however 61:-
alted, in the community. It deprives no
element, however humble, of any right.
Such is the Democracy we cherish. and
support. Such is the only Democracy
' which will ever have an abiding'place in
the confidence and affections of the Amer-
ican people. ‘ y _ <
Reference to‘Finance.
“It is a sham Democracy which submits
to the will of the majority only whenno
selfish interest is afiected or sacrificed by
sodoing.’ Itis a‘sham Democracy which
sets up the Opinions of the fy as entitled
to-control because of the wealth . or cul-
ture or pedigree of those by whom such
opinions are held. It is a sham Democracy
which has for its purpose the undue en-
richment of the man who relies for his
support upon what his money earns for
him, and the consequent unjust impover-
ishment of the citizen who depends upon
what his labor may be able to earn. " It is
a sham Democracy which yesterday asked
for a bimetallic standard upon the single -
condition of an international agreement
and today confesses that such declaration
was but a subterfuge, with which to de-
ceive those honestly favoring such stand-_
ard, and that all the time itp.purpose was
to establish and maintain the supremacy
of gold.
”The question of our money standard
may be of first importance among the is-
sues to be-determined 'in the coming presi-
dential election; but, in my opinion, it is
far from being the only one 'of great im?
portance to be decided by the votes of free
men who cannot be deterred by intimida-
tion or influenced by bribes. It offends
no man’s sense of political propriety that
today the nominee who was the candidate-
of the Republican party has become the
candidate of the money power. He would
never have been selected at St. Louis to
lead the Republican hosts but for the
friendship and generosity of syndicates un-
fairly favored by legislation with which
his name had been conspicuously coupled.
Thei’r money had _been used to corrupt
primaries and influence delegates in his
favor. Their money had been promised in
enormous sums to secure his election to
the presidency. Their expected recompense
for the money given and promised is the
restoration to them of unjust taxing privi-
leges which for years they had exercised at
the expense of thetoiling millions.”
Praise For National Candidates.
After defending the various planks of
the national platform Senator Grady con-
cluded as follows:. '
“With confidence may we rely upon the
intelligence and patriotism of our country-
men to support us upon all of the issues,
national and state, involved in the pond.
ing campaign. With courage may we go
forth t0) again battle, and, I believe, tri-
umph for Democracy.
“In William J. Bryan and Arthur Sew-
all we have candidates of stainless char-
acter, commanding abilities, acknowledg-
ed worth and tried devotion. The people’s
cause may safely be intrusted to their
keeping. No pledge has been given by
them to our citizens but will be faithfully
and promptly redeemed. , -_ ‘
“Let us by our labor and sacrifice in their
behalf prove worthy of our candidates.
Let us in the unity and enthusiasm of our
support demonstrate our appreciation of
the great issues involved in theelect-ion.
Let us in all things'acquit ourselves as
deserving of 'our sovereign citizenship.
“Defeat can but doom us to a continu-
ance for four moreyears of existing condi-
tions, with their injustice to labor and
their privileges to wealth accentuated and
increased.
“Victory will realize for us the bless-
ings and advantages of a people’s govern-
ment, underwhich the public welfare is
the highest law. ” ’
Grady Loudly Cheer-ed.
During the early lines of delivery great
attention was paid, and the denunciation
of the leaders who were not present was'
received with applause. When Mr. Grady
spoke of the standard 16 to 1, the cheers
of the convention and spectators created a
whirlwind of applause that lasted for
about three minutes. It was a gauge of
the sentiment of the majority of the body,
and Mr. Sheehan and Mr. Danforth, who
are engineering the platform expressions,
must have been apprised that the conven-
tion would demand a strong indorsement
of the national ticket and platform. Dur-
ing the delivery of Mr. Grady’s speech the
Albany contesting delegation issued a cir-
cular against the nomination of Mr.’ John
Boyd Tltcber for governor. It read:
- “The attention of the delegates is called
to the fact that those who are urging the
noni‘ination of Mr. Thacher for governor
are men not in sympathy with the Chicago
platform or nominees, but are gold men,
more Republican than Democratic:
“Mr. Thacher, at the recent state con-
vention at Saratoga, placed himself on rec-
ord as unalterably opposed to, silver and
equally in favor of gold. At no time
since has he expressed any different views.
But, if such a thing were possible, be has
emphasized his views and opinions. When
Mr. Bryan, in August, visited Albany,
Mayor Thacher absented himself from the
city so as to avoid welcoming the Demo-
cratic nominee for president to the capital
of the state. His purpose is to conduct
.his canvass," nominated, independently
of the national canvass. Thencmination,
if made, will be for barter and trade. Se-
lect no one who is not in full sympathy
with the national candidates. Let there
be no compromise, no surrender. ”
Chairman Grady announcei that there
had been a mistake made in selecting com-
mitteemen by congressional districts in-
stead of by senatorial districts, and that
must be remedied before the committees
could be filled.
The convention. after the reference of
several resolutions of more or less impor-
tance, adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning.

NEW HAVEN. Sept. 17.—The first few
minutes of the session of the Democratic
state convention was consumed by the
supplementary reports of the various oom-
mittees. The recommendation went,
through quickly, and the convention was

read the platform, which was in part as
follows: . .
:“Be it resolved, That we indorse the
platform adopted at Chicago by the Demo-
cratic national convention, and that; we
pledge our earnest and faithful support to
William J. Bryan and Arthur-_Sewall, the
candidates nominated by the Democratic
party. ‘ - ‘ ‘ .
“ esolved, That the growing industrial
disasters and distressful poverty and idle-
ness have been the ever increasing result of
the demonetization of silver in 1873. We
therefore invite the united support of the
electors in. the effort to restore the coinage
system which existed during the years of
our national prosperity and which is the
coinage system recognized in our national
constitution. We denounce the recent bond
issues and the useless increase ,of the na-
tional debt in times of peace, "
“Resolved, That business depression and
contracted production are the inevitable
cause of lossand disaster to all wealth pro-
ducing industries, and that therefore there
is not sufficient inducement to capital to
invest upon constantly falling 'markets'
and with money'constantly increasing in
its exchangeable value and purchasing '
poWer. "’3 '; ' ' ‘ * -
“Resolved, That,” labor is a great pro-
ducing industry, we recognize the certain
result of depression to be less money to
be paid the labor product and limited
markets for its em loyment. We therefore .
invite labcr'toupi etosave itself from the
danger which threatens it if money shall]
continue to increase in purchasing power.
and all 'else to decrease in exchangeable
value in the markets ofthe world. I ’ '
“Resolved, That we favcr such measures
as will secure equality of representation
and the rule of the majority in this state.
,f‘Resolved, That we demand that meas-
ures be taken to defeat the corrupt control.
of legislation by; cor orations an to stop
the holding up and elaying or defeating
of just measures until those interested sub-
mit to the blackmailing demands of a cor-
rupt lobby and their allies in the general
assembly.
.“Resolved, That we demand such crit-
ical examination of st‘dte expenditures that
may be necessary in providing for an eco-
nomical adminl-tration of public affairs. .
“Resolved, That we discountenanceall
attempts to intimidate or coercethe elec-
tors of this state in the exercise of the
right of franchise. ”
The reading of the'piatform waspunc-
tuated by wild yells and cheers, and at its
conclusion pandemonium_ reigned; The
chairman with, difficulty obtained order
and put the question of adoption. , in less,
than two minutes the platform wasnman-
imously adopted, and Alexander Troup
sprang to his feet and moved that a talc-
gram of . congratulation . from the “loyal
Democracy of Connecticut”. to the-“loyal
Democracy of the Empire: State” besent
to Bufialo, and his desire prevailed.
Joseph B. Sargent of New Haven was
nominated for governor by acclamation,
and S. A. Crandall of Norwich was nomi-
nated for lieutenant governor in the same
way.
