Syracuse than was anticipated last night AT the
meeting of the State Committee, which lasted until
after midnight, an alteration was made In that
plank of the platform referring TO the attitude OF

ticket demanded by the Kings County delegation

They were contented however with this state

Iced to have been on foot to approve the Republican
tie platform is satisfactory concession to their de-
mands. They think that the platform as it stands
will give more aid and comfort to the Democratic
ticket than would have been derived from an actual

honest but refused to admit that one good Democrat
made Reform party. There was indeed a consider
ole undercurrcnt against the Syracuse ticket, and
once the mention Of Gov. Tildens name called out
mingled cheers and Kisses. There does not seem to
DO much ground for the assertion that there was

PARTY but it at no time seemed to extend further
than desire TO take neutral stand between the

the Syracuse ticket. and the rctort soon came from
those who opposed it by a statement from MI
Reeves of Kings, who, though beaten In the prlina
ros in his own district succeeded in gaining adinis-
sion as delegate from another, that two conspicu-
GUS advocates of the Syracuse ticket were Office
holders under the Brooklyn City Government.
IL was afterward stated, though not in the Con-
yention, that of the IS delegates from Kings
County no less than seven were oiliceholders IN
Brooklyn There were. however, no further inter
ruptions to the harmony of the proceedings.
The platform excited little discussion so far as it
related TO other topics. There brief protest
from an Otsego County infatonist but it fell dead
There was no other hint toward soft money, either
in the debate OF in the private discussions of the
delegates. The delegates, of whom there were more
than 100 present, separated with apparently great
good feeling.
After the adjournment of the Convention, the
State Committee met at the Delavan House and
organized by the election of Gen. John Cochrane as
Chairman, and Benjamin T. Mauierre as Secretary
and Treasurer and adjourned to meet at the call of
se Chairman.
