September 28. The day opens dark,
I gloomy and cold. The committee on
contested seats did not adjourn till
six this morning, and it is said left
things pretty much in the same shape
as recommended by the state commit
tee. According to the experienced sec
retaries of the convention if nothing
unforeseen arises business can be
completed in three or four hours.
At precisely 11.10 the clerk of the
State committee, Mr. Baucus, called
the convention to order for a moment
only to make an! announcement. The
announcement was that all members
of the committee on resolutions are
requested to meet at Governor Dor
sheimer's room at once. This was" re
ceived with some surprise as it fore
shadows some trouble with the; plat
form and is generally thought to be
on the civil service reform plank.
11.23 a. m. Chairman Raines
rapped the convention to order. D.

it was unanimously adopted.

"Whereas, since the democratic party
of New York last met in convention,
it has lost by death its honored states

J. Tilden, and within the period many
other noble! leaders have finished the
work committed to hands; '
JiesoivecL: That the names of Til

and' Hancock are those of great and
upright men which recall the , honor
to be Won in faithful public service,
and while the remembrance of them
requires all other democrats to aid in
maintaining and advancing the stand
ard of integrity which they sustained;
Jiesoivea, That npon this first as
semblage of a democratic convention
for the State since the retirement of
Mr. Manning from the Treasury de
partment, we desire to express our
admiration of the wisdom and suc
cess which marked his administration
of that department." .
The platform was then read as fol
lows: ':: ' : I . !
"The unnecessary federal taxation
of the last fiscal year exceeded one
hundred millions. . Unnecessary tax
ation is unjust taxation. Therefore
the democracy of New York demand
that federal taxatiou be straightway
reduced by a sum not less than one
hundred millions a year and also re
spectiuily urge upon Congress that a
measure shall be adopted which will
in tne language of the Presi
dent's inaugural address "re
lieve the people from unnecessary
taxation, having due regard to the
interests of capital invested and the
workingmen employed m American
industries." The taxes to be first re
duced or altogether removed are those
on imported raw materials, which now
assist and promote foreign competi
tion . with ourselves in our own
markets and prevent or hinder the
sale of our surplus products in foreign
markets. Along with those taxes
should be forthwith remitted or re
duced taxation which increases the
cost to our wage-earners of the com
mon necessaries of life and the price
of the common daily clothing of all
pur people. Besides these there are
several hundred articles among the
4,182 articles now y taxed which
should be swept off the tax list
into the, free list, thereby di
minishing the cost of collecting all
our seaport taxes and casting away
thoso which are petty, needless and
vexatious. We also urge an immedi
ate enactment of the measures pre
pared by Messrs. Manning and
Hewitt and reported to the last
House by the committee on ways and
means, to systematize, simplify and
economize the machinery for the col
lection of the customs revenue, and
especially for1 making correct appraise

To all citizens born in foreign lands
and to the multitude of our native
citizens who desire to obtain and se
curely hold their -homes the demo
cratic party has rendered inestimable
service in reclaiming from speculative
railroad corporations the public lands
which such cornorations. bv the cor
rupt aid of republicau administra
tions had seized, to be disposed of for
their private gain. Many millions
of acres of these lands have been so
recovered by the democratic adminis
tration and returned to the people
for the 1 use of actual settlers.
The democratic party is the proven i
friend of all who nave 'come to our
. v .
country seeking to become partners
:n iti welfare, and citizens obedient to
its laws. There is in our America
bread enough and work enough for
all, and the federal laws now on the
statute book for the promotion and
protection of foreign immigration do
not, in our opinion, if they shall be
faithfully executed by proper federal
and State authorities, require present
enlargement or amendment. ;
The democracy of New York reit
erate their support of the civil j ser
vice laws of the United States and of
the State of New York and of their
purpose to uphold them both. In
view of the radieal change in admin
istrative methods which grew out of
the civil service laws and the differ
ences of opinion which , exist in rela
tion thereto, we deem the subject one
which might appropriately be sub
mitted to a popular vote.
Notwithstanding a decided decrease
in the ordinary expenditures of the
government, faithful soldiers, sailors
and their families have been gener
ously remembered, ana the annual
pension )ist under democratic control
shows payment in number and amount
largely in excess of those during the
at i
years of republican administration.
The democracy of the State of New
York deplore the wroncrs inflicted on
Ireland by the coercive and despotic
power of the English government,
and eipress to that suffering people
earnest hopes that they may speedily
enjoy the blessings of home rule and
of civil libertv.

po:-e all sumptuary laws needlessly
interfering with the personaHiberties
and reasonable habits and customs of
our citizens. We believe that ex
cise revenues, liker other proper
local revenues, should be applied in
lessening local burdens and to the re
duction of local taxation.
The platform then declares in favor
of a liberal policy to State canals and
against askiBg- or accepting federal
aid for them; favors local self-govern

The platform declares favorably to
all legislation for the promotion and
protection of labor interests; com
mends the existing state of the ad
ministration and heartily endorses the
administration of David B. Hill, Gov
ernor of New York, and pledges to
him full confidence and support.
The platferm concludes: as follows:
proves the ministration of Grover
Cleveland, President of th6 United
States. It has won the respect and
confidence of all citizens without re
gard to party. It has removed that
apprehension of dangers Which would
attend a change of party in a federal
administration which had become a
serious obstacle to the maintenance
of our system of free government,
depending upon the popular
will. It has brought both
honesty and simplicity to the con-
auct oi auairs. it has checked waste
of the public monies and insisted upon
their devotion to constitutional pur-?
poses. It has effected a practical re
form of the civil service. It has main-
tained a national character for justice
and forbearance in dealing with for-1
eign countries. Its management of
the Treasury has been signally wise
and prudent, and it has begun the
reconstruction of our naval establish
ment with a thoroughness that prom
ises a - restoration of our ancient
prestige upon the sea.
Therefore we, representing the de
mocracy of New York in convention
assembled, again pledge to the Presi
dent our strong and unwavering con
fidence and support."
The plank relating to workingmen
was well received. The endorse
ment of Governor Hill and Presi
dent Cleveland was greeted with
tremendous applause, which continued
for several minutes, though that in
regard to the President was most tu
multuous.
The planks relating to the civil ser
vice, canals and the nqnor tramo were
received with great applause.
The platform was unanimously
adopted. An attempt to add another
resolution was, amid much laughter,
referred to the committee on resolu
tions.
Frederick Cook was nominated by
acclamation for Secretnry of State;
Edward Wemple for Comptroller,
Lawrence Fitzgerald for State Treas
urer, and Charles JH. Tabor for Attor
ney General. The ticket was com
pleted by the nomination of John
Bog art for State Engineer and Sur
veyor, and the convention adjourned.

The "Wild Man" Loe Exciting En-
counter With Illm Nc-nr the City. J
The "wild man" bus changed his;
location, and is now creating great ex- j
citenient in the neighborhood of Mr.
W. R. Perry, who lr-es xnbout our
riiiles north of the city. Tks gentle
man, ho is generally known to be
very reliable, had an exciting adven
ture with the "varmii.t" on Wednes
day night last. He was going from
his residence to his store, about a
hundred yards distant, about 9.30
o'clock p. m., when hs noticed some
thing approaching hi:n from the di
rection of the store. He paid no at
tention to it, supposing it to bo his
dog a ;very large an 1 powerful ani
gaal that guarded the store at night.
But he was surprised to see the ap
proaching object suddenly stop, then
turn and rush back toward the store
at a tremendous rate of speed. When
this "what is it ?" goti near the store,
air Terry was still more surprised
to pee llw doer rush ffrom under the
store and make! for the wild animtrfrFof money. Every colored man and a
Xhere was a short strucrsrlS between.
the dog and the "varmint" when the
latter broke loose and ran down
through an old field, pursued by the
until both were out of sight.
Mr. Perry heard the dog bark several
timefiiwhen some distance off, but felt
no inclination to follow, so went back
to his dwelling and retired, being
somewhat excited. He had just gotten
into the bed when he heard his dog
making a noise at the door by scratch
ing and barking. He went to the
door and opened it, vrhen the dog im
mediately started towards the old
field again. Mr. Pxry decided to
Bee what the thing w is at all hazards
and putting on hin clothing and
taking Ihis pistol f o lowed the dog
across l the field until he stopp9d
at a tree near a bottom in the held.
The dog got anxious, barked, bit the
tree and . was very much excited.
Mr. Perry 'looked up the tree
and felt a shiver creep over
him whjen he saw sitting among the
branches something s bout the size of
a dog, perhaps larger, but in such a
position that he could not tell what
it was although the moon was shining.

Perry raised his pistol and fired at it,
and then there was a racket that in
duced Mr. Perry to 'withdraw from the
tree for several yards with all possible
haste. The "varmint" plunged among
the branches, chattered, spit and cut
other icurious antics which made his
blood run cold and threw a 'damper
on the courage oi me aog. j.ne
'wild yahoo" furthermore came down
the. tree. While earning down Mr.
Perry shot at it two more times, but
does not know that (he hit it- When
the animal reached the ground, it
started off very rapidly and the
dog again gave chase. When
the dog and "varmint" had run
about ; two hundred yards as Mr.
Perry judged, he heard the dog give
two or three sharp, quick yelps and
that was the last heiird of the chase.
Mr. Perry wanted to go home. There
were only two balls in his pistol and
it was night and that thing might
come back and in fact circumstances
generally made home very desirable
at the time. - He caied the dog and
started back, thinking the dqg would
follow. He went back home and
went to sleep. Un yesterday morn
ing when he got up he caljed the dog
to feed him. JSo dog came. Mr. A'erry

look him up. lie went to the tree at the
