Murphy, > Tammanv leader, early in the evening. The question of Dix's run- ning mate and some Lingertng doubt as 1o whefher Martin M.

But when the convention met this after- noom for the firet sesston of the day Dix was still undecided.

"I am with him wherever he goes, anyway. A Condiiton of Acceptance. “He has shown himself a big man,” | was the comment of Idward M. Shep- ard when told of the selection. M | Shepard was the first of the candi- | dates for the nomination to abandon his own. claims in favor of Dix. Earl- |ier in the day Mr. Dix had made it a | condition of his acceptance that all the jother candidates should promise him | their support. From how many he received this pledge could not be as- certained. Other Rsfu s to Accept. | While the delegate in the convention hall awaited the arrival of the leaders with growing impatience. word came | from the conference at the Seneca that | | | | | Martin H. Glynn had sent word from Albany that he would net accept the nomination for comptroller, Mr. Glynn was avowed candidate for governor. The question of the liteutenant gov- ernorship also continued to give trou- ble. Congressman | another candidate for first place on | the ticket, was said to be the lcaders’ | first choice, but his representatives de- | clared that under no circumstances | would he accept. Finally Mr. Dix him- | self was sent as an emissary to Mr. Havens at his home. Mr. Dix soon returned to report that his mission was fruitiess. Then Mr. Conway ylelded and agreed to accept | the momination for lieutenant govern- or. At 9.45 the Jeaders became convinced that Mr. Glynn was steadfast in his jrefusal to run, and they completed the | ticket by placing._ thereon William | Sohmer of New York as the candi- date for comptroller and left the hotel to g0 to the convention hall. Dix Nominated. Long before the leaders finished their preparation of the glate and en- tered the hall the big huilding was crowded Nominations for governor were cailed for.at once and when Al- bany- county was called its delegates | announced tbat they yielded to Wash- | ington, “fhie home county of John A. ix. Seymour Van Sant Voord then took the platform to nominate Mr. Dix. When Mr. Van Sant Voord reached Mr. Dix's name the crowd rose like one man with a wild cheer. The nomination was seconded by Thomas M. Osborne of Auburn, one of the candidates for the same nomina- tion. Mr. Osborne received a cheer almost equaling that ziven the men- tion of Mr. Dix. Sulzer Named. When Chautauqua county wes reached in the roll call of countles, J. William Sunbury rose and nominated William Sulzer of New York. Sulzer's friends proved good reoters and they shouted "until the walls rang and someone in the gallery unfuried a Sul- zer banner. Bugene D. Scribner on behalf of the Fulton-Hamilton delegation, seconded Sulzer's nomination. The Rey. Madison €. Peters of New York was given a place in the Genesee delegation to enamie him also to sec- ond Suizer's nomination. Col. Alexander Bucon had great dif- ficulty in geiting to the platform be- {cause several men shouted that he was not a delegate, though he claimed a proxy from Seneca county. Chajr- man Bissell finally let him speak, and he seconded Sulzer. Independence League Hissed. Colonel Bacon's mention of the In- dependence league caused hisses. “Hiss if you will!” he shouted, brandishing his fist. By this time the hall was ™ an up- roar, with the chairman rapping vain- ly for order. Finally Colonel Bacon returned to his seat after taking near- Iy half an hour to make a speech that witheut interruptions would.have last- ed but ten minutes. This completed the nominations for governor and the delegates proceeded to vote by counties. John A. Dix was nominated for gov- ernor, receiving 434 votes to 16 for William Sulzer, and the nomination was made unanimous. Sketch of the Nominee. james Havens, New York, Sept. 30.—John A.

He re- ceived his early education in home neil university in 1882 His business carveer began as a member of the firm of Reynolds & Dix, marble dealers, and later was associated with a lumber firm. In 1829 he married Miss Ger- trude Thomson, the daughter of a lumber merchant. In politica, Mr. Dix first became prominent as chairman of the demo- cratic county committee of Washing- ton county, a position which indirectly led to his forming a county chairman’s | organization, in which he strove for more power for the chairman as against the State committeernen. Two years ago. with Lewis Stuyves- | {ant Chanler as the head of the ticket, Mr. Dix was the democratic nominee for the lieutenant governorship, but the ticket was defeated.

LORIMER INVESTIGATION. Why Representative Shepard Was In- duced to Vote for Lorimer. Chicago, Sept. 20.—State Represen tiva Henry A. Shepard of Jerseyv 1L, 2 democrat; testified today before the Lorimer senatorial investigating committee that he was induced to vote for William Lorimer for senator on the verpal promise of Mr. Lorimer that he would do all in his power to prevent the appointment of two particular Jerseyville men to the postmastership of that town Shepard said he still hoped that the promise would be per- formed. Altogether, six witnesses, of whom four were jnembers of the state legislature which elected Lorimer, were heard today. George W. Myers was the only legislutor of the four who did not vote for Lorimer for senator. His testimony in substance was that he refused to vote for Mr. Lorimer aft- er he had heen informed by Minority Leader Lee O'Neil Browne that there were good state jobs and “plenty of the ready necessary” if he voted that way. Representative Michael Link testi- fied that he received $1.000 from Browne and $900 from Representativs Wilson in St. Louis. but insisted that the money was not in payment for his vote, which he declared he cast for Lorimer because of his position in fa- vor of federal aid for the Iilinois deep waterway _project. Reprosentative John H. DeWoif of Clinton county said that he voted for Lorimer to “break the deadlock.” He said that nothing was promised for his vote and he did not receive anvthing for it. The other two witnesses corroborated some of the statements of Representative White, the first witness called in the hearing. HALF-MILLION CHICAGO FIRE.
