The Democratic State Convention nj
Syracuse.
The doings of the Democratic State
Convention is the leading topic Of con
verastion throughout the city. The
reform party are greatly dissatisfied q,
the action of the Convention by 70
fusing them recognition. 1t is probable
that bolt will be effected by the party
from the city and conjunction formed
with the anti-Tammany organization
and ticket put up on the question o.
municipal reform. Much will depend
upon what the Convention may do TO-
day. The platform is acceptable to the
Democracy here, and the reformers are
said to be much pleased with it.
The Times says the Convention has
rung the death knell Of the Democratic
party in this State. The promises oil
the leaders amounted to nothing. The
genuine Indignation of the masses
against the corruptionists has been
tripled with the party which one week
ago seemed determined to purge itselt
of the bad men who had hopeleesely
polluted and disgraced it. 1t is made
to appear mass of hypocrites.
The World thinks the Convention
did its work well, and says the rivaI
delegation was sent to Rochester only
as means OF excluding the Tammany
delegates. 1t was the settled determin
alton Of the Democracy of the State thai
Tammany should be shut out-even al
the risk OF disrupting and defeating the
party, but the reason for its presence
ceased when the Tammany delegate:
relinquished their claims.
City Finances.

the Department Of Public Works by th'
Deputy Comptroller, informing then

only due the department, and that be
yond that the Department had no fund
and no power TO raise funds, and advis
ing that the men employed on the pub
lie works be apprised oftbat tact.
