THE BIO TAMMASYHliS IN A PANIC.
And tho Opposition Is JnbllaRt
Beyond Control.
Saratoga, Sent. 20. Tammanv'a
aspirants were thrown Into a condition
bordering on a panto today, wheu the
Associated Press Bulletin announcing
that W. C. Whitney deollned the nom
ination for governor, was read. Sen
ator Hill said: "I supposed he would
deollne to accent." Lieutenant Gov
ernor 8heehan said: "The eltuatfon
now Is rather mixed. We wasted val
uable time chasing a shadow."
John D. Crlmmlns, a personal frloud
of Whitney, has received a mtseage,
stating that Whitney deollned for per
sonal reasons. At tho headnuarters of
other candidates the news caused great
rejoicing. Tho Thatcher people at once
began to assert that their candidate
would be nominated on the first ballot.
and some of the Tammany peoplo ex
pressed the same belief.
Senator Hill called the convention' lo
order at 1:50, The committee oh coi-
tested delegations deoided iu favor cf
all the Witting delegations except in
the case of Monroe county, for which
the, representative le divided equally
between two delegates, each having
half a vote.
When the nomlaation for "governor
was taken up Delegate Reynolds, from
Albany, arose and said:
"Mr. Chairman, I desire from Alle
ghany county to put In nomination our
first and only choice David Beunett
Hill."
In an Instant there was u pandemon
ium. Delegates were standing on
obatrs, crowding aisloa.ehovlug toward
the platform, yelling themselves hoarse
shouting, "Hill, Hill." The senator
stood pounblng his gavel, his face pale
and lips shut. He hammered vigor
ously, but as he did so the din In
creased. "Three cheers for the next
governor of our state," shouted a man
In the rear, and up went ;a mighty
shout. After five minutes of this re
markable scene, tberp was some order
restored and Hill said:
"I am grateful to Democrats for thus
showing their good will and their faith,
but I cannot accept the nomination
you offer me."
The roll call then proceeded, and at
the conclusion the clerk announced the
entire vote for D. B. Hill. Clerk Le-
forest declared Hill the nominee of the
party for governor. Daniel Lock wood
wm nominated or lieutenant governor.
The platform Is the same aa sent In
the Associated Press dispatches last
night, with a plank expressing regret
tht the Income tax wm passed.
Immediately after nomination of the
ticket Senator Hill wm asked by an
Associated Press correspondent what
he thought of the situation. "Oh," he
replied with no little anger expressed
in his face, "It Is an outrage" "It's an
outrage!"
