Procedure
Albany, N. Y., April 18. The New
York state Democratic convention
convenes here at 2 o'clock today. For
the first time since Grover Cleveland

cratic convention will probably be in
structed for a presidential candidate,

Parker, of Esopus.
The leaders managing his cam
paign say that the action of today's
convention will be followed within tho
next three weeks by the adoption of
similar Instructions by enough states
in the South and Middle West to in
sure the nomination of tho New Yorker.
After the convention was called
to order, George' Raines, of Monroe
county, was elected chairman.
Bleecker Hall, where the convention
is in session, is chiefly remarkable
for the absence of decorations and
heat. Seated in tho boxes were many,
olJ-tlme Democrats stalwart.
Demonstrations by the crowd be
came so numerous that when Senator
Murphy entered the hall, the nolsq
larted for fully 10 minutes, and was
led by his Tammany following. Sen.
ator Murphy sat in tho center of tho
New York City delegation, flanked bj;
nourke Cochran, Senator Brady and
Victor Wowllng.
