delegation who tonight believe that the delegation leaders are playing the same game that was played by the Republican leaders In Philadelphia when they indorsed Timothy Woodruff VIcePresldcnt and that the name of Kellar is presented pre-sented for the purpose of kecpingv the delegates from voting for any other New Yorker until they can vote either for Towne or for Sulzer Mr Sulzer withdrew In

anybody Intended to criticise your Dcnme but It Is believed that as you ilSf s strongly against the Silver plank that a new man would be more acceptable And then Mr Croker aroused Mr Hlll by adding And there Is no reason why you should thinkthat the position I Is reserved for you every year I WAS FOR TICKET No 1 have no such Idea answered Mr Hill shaking his flngcr across at Mr Croker but I want you to remem ber that what 1 did and what I said in l the committee and in time convention of 1S36 was done for the Democrats of New York State and when went home I stood for the ticket as well as you
