7 HE
STATE'CONVENTION AT SARA
TOGA. Flower Nominated for Governor and
Sheehan for Lieutenant Governor, -with
a Pull Ticket Tammany Endorsed The
Silver Plank in the Platform. .
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 18. The
Democratic Convention was called to
order promptly at 10 o'clock this morn
ing. .
The temporary organization was made
permanent. The Committee on Cre
dentials presented its report on the con
test in New York city, giving seats in
the Convention to the entire Tammany
delegation. It presented in addi
tion a preamble, and resolutions
reciting the irregular action of the
County Democracy and declaring the
right of Tammany Hall to nominate all
inspectors of elections, poll clerks- and
ballot clerks to which the Democratic
party may be entitled in the city of New
York. The report was adopted.
After presentation of the decision
m regard to tne County Democracy, the
Committee on Resolutions reported the
platform and it was read.
Upon motion of Mr. Griffin, it was
adopted with cheers.
The following, offered by Carter, of
New York, also passed.
Resolved, That this Convention views
with gratification the growing friendly
feelings towards the Democratic party
of our colored fellow" citizens in this
State, and they are welcomed to our
ranks with the assurance that within
our party discrimination on account of
race or color is discountenanced.
Then Chas. T. Gilroy moved to pro
ceed with the nominations, and Major
Porter nominated Roswell P. Flower
for Governor.
- In the course of his speech he said
that the Democracy of the State at their
primaries and district gatherings, with
unanimity rarely equalled, have pro
nounced their choice of a person whom
they desire to be made their leader by
the delegates to this Convention. He
closed with a sketch of Flower's career.
J. R. Fellows seconded Flower's nom
ination for Governor in behalf of Tam
many. Thomas DeWitte, of King's County,
after Fellow finished, seconding the
nomination of Flower, mounted the
platform and placed Alfred C. Chapin
in nomination for Governor. Mr. De
Witte in placing Alfred Chapin in nom
inauon saiu: we snan vuie iur uim m
the beginning and we shall vote for hirr
at the last.
Bourke Ccckran seconded the nomi
nation of Flower. Cockran was at one
time prevented from continuing his re
marks on account of yelling, presuma-
bly from the Chapin side, and when
these demonstrations subsided Cockran
remarked, "I suppose this i3 the first
exhibition of surly temper on your
part, referring to the Chapin men
Gen. Catlin. of Kmes, then took the
platform and seconded Chapin's nomi
nation. John D. McMahon.of Oneida county,
also seconded Flower's nomination. .
The poll was then called on nomina
tions fer governor. The result was an
nounced: Total vote, 377; Flower. 334;
Chapin, 43.
As the tumult attending the an
nounceraent ot the vote suDsiaea m
waves of applause, it left standing on
his feet among the King s county dele
gation its chairman, Charles P. Adams,
of Brooklyn. "I arise," he said, when
recognized, "to move the unanimous
nomination of Roswell P. Flower."
The scene that followed was stirring.
' and it was some time before Adams.who
remained , standing, could be heard
When quiet prevailed, he added, -'When
we ot King s return home with the feel
ing that their just claims on the Demo
cracy of New York State have not been
properly recognized, we nevertheless
will go back to aconstituentgDemocracy
which has never faltered in support of
the Democratic candidate and will not
now." This was the cause of renewed
and enthusiastic applause, and Adams'
motion was adopted.
Assemblyman McClellan, of West
chester, took the platform to nominate
Wm. F. Sheehan for Lieut. Governor.
He referred to Sheehan as Erie's young
and towering giant of Democracy. He
sketched his career in politics, dwelling
especially upon the favorable record he
has made as speaker of the lower house
of the Legislature. ..
Donald McNoughton, of Monroe, in
a brief but heartily eulogistic speech,
seconded the nomination of the young
Erie lawyer. Senator Canter, of New
Yo-k, also spoke in warm terms for his
comrade in the Legislature and D. Cady
izcrritK, oi Aioany, aiter a Drier address
in behalf of Sheehan, moved the nomina
tion of Sheehan by acclamation. The
motion nrpvailprt wr-ii1 QViooVian'o cnn
I 1 WV""
porters from Erie shouted wildly.
The remainder of the ticket was
nominated quickly and all on acclama
tion, but one candidate being named for
each office as follows: Secretary of
btate, Frank Rice, oi Ontario county;
comptroller, Frank Campbell, of Steu
ben; treasurer, Elliott F. Daufatt, of
Chenango; attorney general, Simon
Rosendale, of Albany; state engineer,
Martin Schenck, of Rensaler.
The roll was next called by congres
sional districts lor members on0 the
State committee, and nothing after this
remained for the Convention. Its work
was finished. There was nothing to de
lay adjournment save the desire of the
body to see the candidates.
Soon after 2 o'clock the committee
sent to conduct Flower entered the
hall, and while every man stood on his
chair and shouted the candidate ad
vanced to the platform with a smile on
his face. When the shouts of applause
had worn off somewhat and when the
bands had ceased their music, chairman
Raines, with Flower standing by his
-side, said:
"Gentlemen of the Convention: I
have the gratification of presenting to
you our candidate for Governor and the
next Governor of the great Empire
Finally the demonstration that greeted
r lower had abated so that
heard, and he spoke briefly, saying he
was willing to have "the light turned
on nis record. He accented the nomi
nation and promised to lead the party to
victory.
The applause that followed
address did not die away but was merged
into growing shouts, mingled with the
name of "Sheehan! bheehani as tne
young n,nc canaiaate iot ucuu vjuv
ernor came up the aisle on the arm of
Herrick, of Albany, l ne scene was
wild as the rosy-faced Sheehan mounted
to the olatform where Flower advanced
with outstretched hands to meet him on
the threshhold. In full view of the
Convention the leaders of the ticket
shook hands and engaged in a few words
of hearty greeting. Sheehan then ad
dressed the Convention.: : '
At the conclusion of Sheehan s ad
dress the Convention amid great cheer
ing adjourned sinedie.
Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 16. The fol
lowing is the silver plank oijthe plat
form: .
The Democratic party of the State of
New York, in Convention assembled,
renews and pledges its fidelity to the
Democratic faith and as regards National
issues reaffirms the doctrines of the na
tional platform of 1885 and 1888. endors
ed by popular vote in those years,-and
so overwhelmingly ratified by popular
verdictln the Congressional elections of
1890. We now as then, steadfastly ad
here to the principles of sound finances.
We are against the coinage of any
dollar which is not of the intrensic
value of every other dollar of the United
States. We therefore denounce the
new Sherman silver law under which-one-tenth
of our gold stock has been ex
ported and all our silver output is
dammed up at home, as false pretence,
but artful hindrance of a return to free
bi-metalic coinage and as tending only
to produce a change from one kind of
monoraetalism to another. We there
fore unite with the friends of honest
money everywhere in stigmatizing the
Sherman progressive silver basis law as
no solution of the' gold and silver ques
tion, and as a fit appendix "to the
subsidy and bounty swindle of McKinley,
worse than the war tariff and the Blaine
reciprocity humbug, "the squandered
surplus, advancing deficit, the defective
census, falsified representation and
revolutionary procedure of the billion
Congress all justlf condemned by the
people's great uprising last November.
A verdict which renewed next year will
empower Democratic statesmen to
guide the people's councils Ji and to exe
cute the people's will.
. There is no other declaration in the
platform upon national politics. The
greater portion of the document, which
embraces about 2,000 words, is devoted
to setting forth the unhappy condition
of the State growing out of the circum
stance that ; the Republican Senate
stands in the way of everything that can
not be accomplished in spite of it by the
Democratic Assembly and Executive.
Declaration is made in favor of a pro
vision for a proper exhibit from the
State at the Chicago. Exposition, and
also of sympathy with oppressed Rus
sian Jews.
The concluding paragraph is as fol
lows: "We heartily endorse the able
and statesmanlike administration of
Governor David B. Hill, during his
seven years as Chief Executive of the
State. He has resolutely maintained the
-principles of the Democratic. party and
has faithfully contended for the inter
ests of the people. He has ably resisted
the aggressions of successive Republi
can Legislatures whose object has been
only partasan advantage, and he
has been a firm and unrelenting
foe to vicious and corrupt legis
lation, in his administration of
State affairs he has received intelligent
and conscientious co-operation of his
Democratic associates in the State de
partments. Their joint efforts have put
the btate practically out of debt and
left a generous surplus in its treasury,
.Efficiency and economy have marked
their official records. We respectfully
submit that this faithful discharge of re
sponsibility justifies continuance of the
trust reposed m the Democratic party
of which they have been true represcn
tatives."

Seizure of Arms . and : Ammunition by
Chinese Authorities Alarming Aooounta
of Brigandage Parts Bankers Afraid to
Negotiate the He w Bussian. Loan. -By
Cable to the Morning Star.
London, September 15. A Shanghai
correspondent of the Times says: "The
customs authorities here have seized a
arge quantity of arms and ammunition
intended for a secret society at Chin-
kiang. Foreigners are implicated." -
Vienna, September 16. -Alarming
accounts of brigandage, growing out of
famine, come from the south of Russia.
Numbers of outrages are of daily occur
rence. Bands of - starving peasant
haunt the roads' and forests in the Caucas
sus, lying in wait for travellers, and
resorting to pillage and murder. In
many villages a state ol complete anar
chy prevails. At Elizabeth, . fifty brig
ands recently surprised two houses at
midnight, murdered twenty-two occu
pants and then caroused. A week ago
a diligence was . attacked in broad day
light. All the passengers were poor
women and girls. Thebngands murder
ed the former and stripped and out
raged the latter.
Paris, Sept. 18. The scare caused
by the report of the occupation of Mity
lene by England, has made bankers less
pliable and negotiations concerning the
price of the new Russian loan still con
tinue. ANOTHER EXPRESS ROBBERY.
$2,660 Taken from a Car on the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas Bailroad.
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
St. Louis. September 16. A dispatch
from Muskogee, I. T., says: The Mis
souri, Kansas & Texas south-bound pas
senger train was held up and the ex
press car robbed at 9.80 last night, four
miles north o Wagoner. The robbers
covered the train officials with their pis
tols, and two of their number entered
the express car. They ordered the ex
press man to open the large steel safe,
which he was unable to do, and it took
considerable arguing before he could
convince the robbers of his utter inabil
ity to comply. They thereupon dumped
the small iron chest, which contained
$3,560. out of the express car door, broke
it open and took the entire amount.
They made no attempt to trouble the
passengers, and there was but one shot
fired. The robbers were masked with
red flannel, and after completing the
job took to the woods with their booty.
Umcers have left Muskogee in pursuit
of the robbers.
COTTON FUTURES.
The New York Furores Market Yesterday
By Telegraph to the Morning Star.
New York, Sept. 16. The Sun's cot
ton circular says:
Futures opened at 8 to 11 points ad
vance, presently declined, further de
clined, and closed steady at 5 to 6 points
decline on near and 1 to 3 points decline
on late months from yesterday's closing
prices. Astronger report from Liver
pool gave the bulls on our Cotton Ex
change a brief inning this morning, but
it was soon discovered that the improve
ment in Liverpool had no better basis
than the ancient and fish-like adverse
crop accounts from New Orleans and
Galveston. Besides Liverpool did not
sustain its early figures. This market
was therefore steadily sold down, and
soon after the second call the whole of
the early advance had been lost. Then
it became clear that the Southern bulls
were unloading as well as pressing spot
cotton for sale, with no urgency of de
mand to dispose of it. Some further
decline was the result, January contracts
receding to 8.87c For some time after
the third call business was very dull and
the slight flurry which took place near
the close was very little to the advan
tage of prices. The pressure of spot
cotton upon an unwilling and indiffer
ent market may now carry prices back
nearly to the lowest figure of August, for
adverse crop accounts are for the mo
ment pretty well discounted. Spot cot
ton was l-16c lower.
TERRIBLE DEATH.
A Lineman Killed on the Wires at Cleve

Cleveland, O., Sept. 16. John Mc
