Sullivan, sprung American flags with) pictures of Coler pasted on them, and there was much cheering, THE WIND-UP OF DEVERY. The turning down of Devery and Goodwin was the dramatic feature of tie day in the convention against seating either delegation, Chairman McMahan said: ,“In presenting the report I move the pre- vious question.” This was to prevent debates. While the report was being read there was quiet, until the Ninth Dis- trict was reached. When the secretary read “in the Ninth District, New York, neither delegation is entitled to seats in the convention hecause of wholesale corruption,” a mighty roar of mingled cheers and hisses went up. * and as it continued Devery was seen making his way to the plattorm Vainly the chairman rapped for order. Vainly a band played. the aisle Devery forced his way, the crowd clearing the way for him HE APPEALS TO SENATOR HILL. * ~* When he reached the platform steps, with raised hands he tried to stop the pandemonium that reigned. A sergeant-at-arms with his hands on tho | big Chief’s shoulder tried to force him back to a seat, but he shook him off and started to speak. His voice was husky and his hands shook as he raised them. Then he said amid cheers: “Democrats of this convention, Samuel J.

As he reached his seat Frank J. Sullivan, one of the Devery delegates, got to the platform and attempted to | speak. . * “The chair called to him that he could not address the convention. Amidst terrible uproar he continued to speak, but a sergeant-at-arms hustled him down the steps. | For fully ten minutes the convention and spectators roared, applaude : | ‘and hissed, and then, as the nolse made small subsidence, there came the voice of Chairman Stanchfield: “For the sake of the delegates to this Democratic convention and those present I desire to say that the party does not propose to have Its voice pu down or allow its convention to be run by thugs and rufflans and"—— DEFIED BY THE GALLERY. Here the Devery crowd broke,loose again and drowned Mr. Stanch- fleld’s voice by cheers for Devery. For several minutes it went on and then the chair sald: ‘I want to say to the gallery, everybody will get fair play. From the gallery “Not on your life.” “If the gallery does nct cease the galleries will be cleared.” * Cries of “Try it—let’s see you.” Finally some semblance of order was obtained, and then Chief Devery walked’ up and presented a minority report. The Chair then ordered a Il-call after having the reports read. ~THE REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE. The majority report cited that “in regard to the delegation from the Ninth Assembly District of New York County your committee finds that neither the sitting delegates nor the contestants are entitled to seats In the convention by reason of the wholesale corruption pertaining to the primary! election in said district, where it cannot be determined what delegates were legally elected.” The vote began in much disorder and went on until the county of | Queens was reached. Then Joseph Cassidy, of that county, aruse and sald: “We in Queens believe in home rule. We do not believe that the will of the people should be se: aside. In Queens County that has happened time and time again. On primary election day the people of the Ninth District elected delegates to represent them and they should be seated. SAYS DEVERY WAS A SCAPEGOAT. “At the last general election in New York City Mr, Devery was made a scapegoat by the Republican party. The police force of which he was then the head is changed for the worse now and the scandals the like of which had never been heard of before are being made public every day, I vote to seat Mr. Devery and his delegates.” Mr. Cassidy was interrupted time and again and Chairman Stanchfield ‘was compelled to pound !oudly for order. The Queens County vote was cast seven for Devery und two against. When Rensselaer County was reached John Norton satd: “The dele- gates from this county protest against the action in our own case, and cast our vote against the report.” DEVERY LEAVES THE HALL. These votes were cast for Devery: Queens, 7 for, 2 against; Suffolk, 4 for, *° against; Wyoming, 3 for; Yates, 3 for, f All of the other counties voted for the majority report, declaring the seats of the delegates from the Ninth vacant, the total vote being 422 to 21. When the vote had been announced Mr. Devery arose and started to leav. the hall. He was accompanied by Frank Sullivan on one side and Peter J. Garvey on the other. They were followed by the devoted band who wore the Dey- ery gray hats and came to Saratoga on the Devery special. A procession was formed, and, led by the band, the ousted Deveryites tramped several miles on the streets of Saratoga, winding up at the Broad- way front of the United States Hotel. Devery said he was going to start for New York as soon as he could getia “shave and a wash-up and a clean shirt.” DEVERY DELIVERS A ROAST. The crowd of 200 clamored for a speech, and fifty men pressed in and grasped his hand with assurances that he had more friends than ever be- fore. “The honorable John B. Stanchfleld said that Deverey and his wang were all thugs and toughs,” shouted the Chief, hoarsely; “now that was a nice thing for the honorable gentleman to say, wasn't {t? “We ate not toughs and thugs. Look at us, Do we look like thugs? “We are men and Democrats and voters. We were elected by the people to represent them here and It 1s the people, not I or my delegation, that are robbed. “They are running the party in that little room on the third floor of the Grand Union Hotel—a little clique of three men. “They are not the representatives elected by the people, like we are, “Let David B.

CONVENTION HALL, SARATOGA, Oct. 1.—Devery paid his re- spects to Senator Hill and Eugene Wood to-day. He said: | “1 saw Gene Wood chewing the rag with Pat McCarren last night, and at 2 o'clock this morning Wood went to hin room, I know places where they'd ‘Gene Woo “Thin mai up for what he ta, “These fellows up here that are knifing me don’t know Devery.

He came here more to see you and let you see him face to face and see what kind of a man he really is, He knew he was slated to be turned out.” NO QUITTER, SAYS DEVERY. After a shave and a wash and a little rest, Devery appeared in the dining-room of the United States and ate a hearty lunch, after which he was chipper and buoyant He sald: “You can say for me, sport, that I aint no quitter, I’m with the party and for the platform and the nominees. “There is no Deveryism now for them to contend with. Now let ‘em go ahead. They've done their dirty work, now let ‘em pull thoir ticket through, I wish them success, and I will help them achieve It. “They have voted that the people of the Ninth District shall have no voice in the party councils, but Bill Devery is no quitter and I shall work with ali my heart for the success of the ticket nominated to-day, “But don't let the people fool themselves.

That's their game.” NO USE FOR CARROLL OR SEXTON. Speaking of the failure of the John F. Carroll faction to stand by him Devery said with scornful curve of the Ups: “Carroll and Sexton and them is a lot of cowards, They ain’t got no nerve. They flunked, Tammany voted not to stand by the unit rule, and Carroll and them had a right to vote their convictions and stand by their friends. But they had no nerve, “Tom Foley and Pat Keahon was the only oves in ‘Tammany that had nerve.

The eloquence of the Brooklyn man had put the convention in the best of humor. George Raines, of Monroe, chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, was recognized when the convention had settled itself after the speech of the chairman. Mr, Raines took the stage and read the platform. The platform calls for a steadfast fidelity to Amerjcan principles, ar- raigns the Republican party for 'ack of these; demands return to the principles of Thomas Jefferson to stop the demoralization of the country; opposes trusts that injurlously affect consumer and employer, and drive out small manufacturers, and especially condemns the beef and coal trusts for unreasonably depriving the people of necessities of life. Restriction of the amassing of wealth is advocated, and the amendment of the tariff law by placing the necessities of life on the free list is des manded. The Dingley tariff law is condemned as a whole. The President is criticised for dilatory conduct, and is accused of not wanting to offend the trusts. The plank in the platform advocating government ownership of the coal mines was received with tremendous applause. WARNED OF HIGH WINDS. | MASCAGNI MUSICIANS HERE.

By a new rule which goes into effect to-day the ambulances of Bellevue, Gouverneur, Harlem and Fordham Hos- Pitals will be in charge of senior doc- tors, instead of young physicians who have just been graduated from medical Schools and who have had no hospital experience. The practice heretofore has been to place the young doctors on the am- bulance corps as soon as they entered the service of the hospital, Complaints of inexperience have been made, and these led Dr. Stewart, superintendent of Bellevue and the allied hospit. and Dr. Brannon, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, to bring the matter to the attention of the trustees. The new rule was the result. A senior doctor Is one that has seen six months’ service within the hospital. As there are on an average 1,00 case in Bellevue dally, a doctor in the course of six months has a training that would require years to acquire elsewhere. | By putting these experi. enced doctors on the ambulances, It Is believed the service will be greatly strengthened and mistakes erro- neous diagnoses avoided. “JT want some more.” is ten times as cheap as meat. piece of beef which costs twentge five cents, translated into energy=~ that is, into bone, blood, brawn and brain—-will only yield 68 per cent, as compared with twenty-five cents® orth of H-O, which will yield H-O is cheaper The following message was received at the office of the local weather bu- reau this afternoon from headquarters in Washington: “Northeast storm) warn! are or- dered displayed at 12.90 P.
