BUFFALO, Sept. 27.-The Democratic
State Convention opened under very
favorable auspices. The delegates took
their seats in q very orderly manner, each
one being numbered, with a ticket to cor
respond. As Kelly entered the hall he was
cheered by the Tammany and Irving Hall
| delegates in the gallery. The delegates
arrived in q body and no preference was
shown to any distinct body on admittance.
Daniel Manning, Chairman of the State
| Committee, called the convention to order,
and presented the name Of Alfred G.
Chaplin of Kings as temporary Chairman.
Chaplin spoke briefly. His remarks were
only interrupted when the name of Gov.
Cleveland was mentioned; then the dele
| gates applauded. The Tammany and
Irving Hall men, however, remained
silent.
In the roll call, when the name of
Samuel j. Tilden Jr. was reached, the
convention greeted it with long-continued
applause.
Francis Lynde Stetson, q county Demo-
cratic delegate, presented . protest on
behalf Of "a county Democratic delegates,
against the admission Of the Tammsny
representatives.
The protest was referred to the Commit
tee on Contested Seats when appointed.
Senator Grady arose when his name was
called and gave notice that the Tammany
delegates whose names were excluded from
the roll would present q protest against
the admission Of the county Democratic
delegates.
Ex-Justice Callahan, an Irving Hall
delegate, said he desired to present q pro-
test against their admission.
Fraudulent Land Entries.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-During the past
Summer the Commissioner Of the Gener al
Land Office has had in States and Terri
tories where there are large quantities OF
unsold public lands = large force Of special
agents engaged in the detection andeinves-
tigation Of fraudulent entries under the
Presumption, Homestead and Timber Gull
ture Acts. The reports Of these agents
reveal such q condition Of facts that in all
probability the Secretary of the Interior,
in his annual report, will recommend the
repeal not only Of the Presumption laws,
but the Timber Culture Acts also. Among
the considerations which it ia believed will
be urged In this repeal are. first, that prac-
tically an actual settler can get title to his
farm o. soon under the Homestead Act as
under the Presumption law, and that there
Is M need Of two methods to attain the
same object; that while three laws remain
the settler may take advantage OF each,
and acquire title to 480 acres Of public
land by paying cash for 100 acres and TAX
ing the remainder under the Homestead
and Timber Culture Acts, . quantity
which II ID suggested IL greater than = set.
tier should be permitted TO obtain or such
easy terms. In the present condition Of
affairs both the Presumption and Timber
Culture laws offer . premium to dishonesty,
~ Il clearly shown by the great number Of
fraudulent entries which have been de-
teeted.
News Dealers Kicking.
New YoRK, Sept. 27.-The news dealers.
: factor hitherto ~unconcerned in the wal
Of rates among local newspapers, are be.
ginning to move against . reduction in
their profits y quoted. The price Of vari.
ous papers has dropped and their commits
sions have decreased. The dealers com
mission which, before the epidemic set in,
ranged from \ to IN cents on each paper,
now ranges ct u to l cent. The most I'M
satisfactory feature OF all il, that outside
Of New York the new lboys - we'll - deal
err insist on selling all papers at about the
anne price - before, and that neither the
Newspaper proprietors nor their patrons
get the slightest advantage on account Of
the drop in prices. Last night the East
side newsdealers held an indignation meet
ing. and go Of them signed . pledge to sell
ct Is to 20 cents per week the papers that
have made . reduction. The West-slde
! dealers mel tonight, and . strike against
reduced commissions bids fair to spread.
II is by no means possible that this action
Of the middle men may check the democrat
ixation in rates, and even bring about the
restoration Of old prices.
