BAY STATE DEMOCRATS.
The State COnVenIIOn-Csndi
and Platform.

WORCESTER, MASS, October 5. - The
Massachusetts, Democratic Convention was
called to order at 11:35 this morning. Jonas
81. French, Chairman OF the State Central
Committee, was greeted with cheers on his
appearance on the platform. He addressed
the convention at some length.

For Secretary of State, General Michael T.
Donahue, of SomerVille; Treasurer aRd Re
ceiver General, Colonel Francis j. Parker,
of Newton; Auditor, Chas. R. Field, OF
Greeufeld; Attorney General, General
Patrick A. Collins, of Boston. The report
was unanimously adopted.
The Committee on Resolutions reported
platform in which, after avowing the con-
slant faith OF the party In the eXpediency
and right of the Democracy to govern, and
declaring the Union "Indestructible save
by successful revolution or common con-
sent" the resolutions assert that the con-
servative principles of Democracy sre de
manded at the present time to resist ''the
insidious encroachment Of aristocratic ten
denotes and the efforts of organized avsrice
and ambition" "
The resolutions also denounce the ex-
travagance and corruption Of past Republi-
can administrations, favor a bold revision
OF tartH laws, declaring JDaG 100 mucn rev.
enue is raised, admit the evils of intern
perance, but deprecate prohibition as futile,
advocate the abolition Of poll taxes, and
pay high tribute to the late President.
Col. French spoke feelinsly Of President
Garfield, who, he said, belonged to the
whole people, and whose death binds them
in close fellowship. At the conclusion of
his remarks he was called on by the con.
vention to act as temporary Chairman. The
usual committees were appointed, and Jar
Wis N. Durham, of Springfield, was elected
permanent Chairman. The organization of
the convention was then otherwise com.
pleted. Reuben Noble nominated Hon. q.
P. Thompson, of Gloucester, for Governor,
which was carried by accamation.
Col. French said Alpha E. Thompson had
withdrawn as a candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, and In his place he nominated j.

ernor, with few dissenting voices. A COM
mittee was appointed to nominate the bal
ance of the State ticket, and the convention
took a recess for al hour.

MARVIN Gagged.
The Bigamist and FOrger Pleads
Guilty - DenOuncIng the Omcers
and Witnesses.

RICHMOND, October 5.-The case of Mar
vim, the bigamist and forger, was brought
to sudden and rather unexpected termi-
nation In court to-day. When arraigned on
the charge Of forgery he pleaded guilty.
The jury was then sworn in to declare the
punishment, which was fixed at five years
in the peuitentiarY. A similar punishment
was also allotted him for bigamy, he having
pleaded guilty to this charge, making his
full term in prison ten years.
Previous to sentence being pronounced in
the latter case, In response to the usual
question asked, whether he had anything to
say, Marvin rose and made a lengthy ha-
raugue, full Of invective and denunciation
of those charged with his custody here and
the witnesses in attendance from the
North. His remarks displayed so
much vindictiVeness and venom to-
ward the city officials and witnesses that
when he concluded his counsel addressed
the court in depreciation of his clients Ian
guage. He said he had found this old man
(Marvir) In jail without money and without
friends, and he told him he would de-
fend him to the last extremity.
Not one dollar had been given him by the
prisoner. He had advised Marvin to plead
guilty, as he thought it was the best course
he could pursue. He had had the fullest
intercourse with Marvin since the latter
had been his client, and the pris-
oner had not been deprived of
a single right that any man
might have. He felt it was poor return
that the prisoner had made him in denOuDc-
ing some of his (counsels) friends. He mad
befrfended the accused without any regard
to what he was, and had done all he could
for him. He then left Marvin's side.
Judge Birdsall, of New York, one Of the
witnesses for the prosecution, spoke indig
nantly Of Msrvin's language. He (BirdsalD
had done all he could do to amellorate the
condition of the prisoner, and it was owing
to his efforts that the case had taken this
course. He now felt that he had done fn-
justice to himself and to the Common
wealth of Virginia in taking this position
and lessening the punishment of the pris-
oner.
In delivering the sentence the Judge said
that 1t would be uubecoming to respond to
any OF the statements that had teen made
by the prisoner, but the prisoner, he said,
after confessing such crimes as he had
confessed, could not expect any credence
to be given TO his statements without
having them fully corroborsted. Marvin
made an effort to again address the court,
but the Judge sternly commanded him to
take his seat. Marvin was taken out to the
peDitendarY late this afternoon, and is now
clothed in the convict garb and occupying
conVict's cell.

THE PRESIDENTS CASE.
DIR. Bliss Plea 20 the Profession
Views of Other Surgeons,

NEW YORK, October 5.-The report of the
case of President Garfield by DR.. Bliss, pub
lished in the forthcoming number of the
Medical Record, occupies over six pages of
that journal. He concludes his history of
the case as follows: "I desire to say in the
brief review of the leading facts as to the
general conduct OF the case, that 1t has
been apparent to the medical reader
that my prognosis was favorable,
and Notwithstanding the mutations
augured successful termination. 1t is but
justice to myself to state that nv prognosis
was based on a leisOn of minor importance.
Had our diagnosis been correct, modern sur
gerry should have conducted the case to a
successful termination. l believe the
medical profession, whom ad-
prognosis was correct If the diagnosis had
been also correct. l was not always able,
during the progress Of the case, to account
for many Of the more profound sy mptoms,
and yet could not succeed in learning of
any more extensive or complicated LESSONS
than were first suspected"
He makes inquiry Of the profession
whether more extensive explorations could
have been safely made, or whether the con-
ulllOu pEc6cuGouy but huOWl6uSS Ol bu6 T6th-
tive positions of the patient and the
assassin, the character of the missile and
the condition of the lesion and the symp-
toms which followed, would have
directed an investigation toward
the actual track and lodgment of the ball;
also, whether any known instrument or
means of exploration has ever been pre-
sented to the profession capable of tracing,
before the death of said patient, the course
of this bullet; also, whether the conditions
could have been improved or mitigated, or
his life preserved longer by any other line
of treatment.
DR.. G. F. Shrody, surgeon to the Presby-
terian and st. Francis Hospitals in this city,
says in an article on the case: "From a
careful study of the symptoms in connection
with an examination of the autopsical
LESSONS, the conclusion seems inevitable
that the case was one which, commencing
as a milder form of septic9mia gradually
developed into graver metastatic variety or
that generally understood as chronic py9
mia"
DR.. F. d. Weisse, Professor of Surgical
Anatomy In the University OF New York,
closes his review of the state
ment that there were sufficient
grounds to warrant the diagnosis
that was arrived at and maintained up to
the time of the death of the patient, espe-
ciallY so in the absence of any evidence
that the ball had taken different course.

TERRIBLE OIL FIRE.
A Fierce Blaze on the Erie Railroad.

PORT JBRvls, N. Y, October 5-An oil
train numbering fifty cars, on the Erie Rail
road, took fire to- day at the DelawareI river
bridge near Port Jervis, New York. Thirty
five cars were cut loose and saved. The re-
manning fifteen burned SO iercely
that it was impossible to approach
them. Tanks exploded from time to time,
and portions OF the boiler iron, of which
they are constructed, were blown
across the Delaware river. The bridge
over the Delaware river will
probably be saved, but the track
for several hundred yards will be destroyed.
The danger Of approach is so great that
nothing can be done but let the fire exhaust
itself, which will be late tonight. The
telegraph wires beside the road melted
down. Traffic on ithe road will be inter-
rupted until to morrow.
