The New York Democracy.

BUFFALO, Sept. 27.-The democratic state
convention opened under exceedingly ia
v)rable aspices. The weather was cool and
clear. There were no decorations in the
hall except few wreaths and SINH
lar decorations. The delegates took
their seats in a very orderly man
ner, each seat berg numbered. with s
ticket to correspond. AS John Kelly, en-
tered the hall he was cheered by the Tam
many and Irving hall delegates 10 the gal
lery. 1t was noticeable fact that Kelly
was the only delegate cheered on entering
the hail. w. d. Daniel, managing chair
man of the state committee, called the con.
venton to order and presented the name Of
Alfred. G. Chaplin, of Kings as temporary
chairman. In accepting, Chaplin, in very
nervous manner addressed the convention.
After an expression of thanks for the honor
conferred, his remarks were mainly de-
voted to the states affairs. He spoke in
the highest terms of the administration oil
Governor Cleveland. The speech was lis.
tened to with marked attention and was
only interrupted when the name OF Cleve.
land was mentioned, then the delegates ap.
plauded. The Tammeny and Irving hall
men, however, remaining silent. In the
roll call when the name OF s. J. Tilden, Jr.,
was reached, the convention greeted it with
long and continued applause.
Isaac H. Maynard and William Purcell
were then named for secretary OF state.
The ballot: Maynard, 30 Purcell, 173.
The nomination of Maynard was immedi-
ately made unanimous.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-It appears that no
body except President Ingersalls, Of the Big
| Four road, who called for a meeting o.
managers of the Chicago and Ohio river
roads in the interest of peace, to take piece
at Cincinnati to-day went to the place
designated. This fact leads to
the conclusion that none Of the lines en-.
gagged in the cut are quite ready to make
concessions, and in view OF
this it is the opinion that general war
will extend to freight before a settlement
can be reached, though it is not expected
that anybody will precipitate freight until
after the Cincinnati meeting appointed
for next Monday. To-day Pool Manager
Office and turn over its effects
to the roads October LIST, the day
before the time appointed for the Cincin-
natl meeting. The consequence will be
that when the managers meet it will
not be as members of the pool but as rep
ressntatives OF competing lines, so
that a new organization will have to
be effected. 1t is impossible TO
foresee what the result will

Illinois, but the Louisville, New Albany

kee lIneis non-commital.
New York, Sept. 2S-The joint execu-
tive COMMITTEES of the trunk-linr
passenger agents, In session for TIE
past three days has adjourned. The final
award of rates has been made by Commis-
sioner Fink. There are no important
changes in it excepting that passenger
rates ON the Ohio & Mississippi between
this city and St. Louis and on two or three
other roads are increased on account, it
was explained, of the increased facilities.
The second.cIass rates between this
CITY and Chicago are also raised.
PITTsDURa Sept. 2S 1t is reported on
what is considered good authority, that the
controlling interest in the Plttsburg d.
Western railroad will be transferred to-
morrow to Garrett or Gould. Ghe road has
200 miles oftrack and would he valuable
acquisition 10 either party named.
New YORK, Sept 2S.-It is stated at
late hour tonight that Gould and Willard
had a conference this afternoon, when
the affairs of the Northern
Pacific were discussed. 1t was asserted
that the conference had been held at the
offices of Drexel. Morgan e. Co., and that
negotiations had been perfected for
loan of Sl,500,OOO to the com.
panv on debenture bond
or some other security. The belief obtains
in well-informed quCrters that plan OF
action has been fully developed.

amount given TO tho Brooklyn schools was largely
in excess Of the appropriation made III any year
during Mayor Howell's aud Mayor Schroedcrs terms
of Office. The sum for new sites and buildings was
cut down from $500 900 TO 5000 900, but $50 900
was added to build new wings. The other items
remained substantially as the Board of Education
presented them. The amount intended for each
item is specified. in striking contrast with the New
York budget which only mentions the amount that

MY BRISTOL LODGINGS.


The first night in new lodgings, when you are
alone and in a strange town, does not always make
a pleasant memory. Nothing fits the armchair il
too big or too little the bed-mattress is too hard
too soft the wash-stand is in the wrong corner;
the toilet-table is in the road of the window; aud
the inhosptaty of things new to your habits is OPP
pressive In London, the feeling that my home was
a lodging had been sunk by custom; but the sense
came up in me very strong when reached my Bris-
toll apartments and stood in the bit of sitting
room, contrasting it with my uncc's home, and
gazing yacanty ut the table, which were a bottle
of brandy. bottle of soda-water and a cork-screw,
upon q cheap, brandnew tray. | heard mans
voice rumbling under my feet. and there a smell
of coarse tobacco about; and when cast my eyes
around, and behold no books, no intellectual solaco
of any kind outside the prints, which were speedily
To be exhausted, whether rs diversions or moral
instructors felt very lonely indeed, and sat mo
down in the stiff backed, hair-cOYered armchair
that stood markedly confronting the .frgid black
CRATE and its bleak furniture of fender and IRONS
with a misgIving upon me that was acting very
much like donkey.
Mrs Chump broke in upon my musings by asking
at what time wanted TO be called in the morning.
and what | wished for breakfast. Called in tho
morning; what was there to get up to ? and wish
for breakfast there was not phantom of wish

bacon and hafpast 8, and then pulled the cork out
of the brandy bottle, and filled pipe
However, cheered myself up after bit by con-
sidering that first of all, had acted any gentle

and also consOled myself by thinking that. though
i might have prolonged my stay at my nnce's with

certainly arrive when my sense OF proprlety would
oblige me to leave his house, so that, since was
determined to keep near Florence, had only ontci-

Less mind than matter;
Lifting q horn that overnOws
TO men whose need dixie FigaroD
But makes them fatter.
Or, in the neO-Durer style,
They would have made her grmly smile
From wrecks symbolic;
symbol herself OF grinding want,
Hard, retrospective, haggard, gaunt
And melancholic
Now. We have changed all that To-day
We treat her In different way;
We make her pretty.
We send her tripping through the snow,
To pour her pity on the woe
OF some huge city.
God speed! Kind heart, kind hand, kind eyes;
Life to too many one denies
The Joy Of laughter,
That we should grudge when you go by,
To wish your errand well, and cry
Our blessing after

MAYOR LOW ON PRIMARY SCHOOLS.

One of the issues in the Brooklyn campaign this

THE SCHOOLS IN THETwo CITIES.

Several of the gentlemen who have expressed
their opinions relative to the needs and defects OF
the city schools in interviews published in THE
TRIBUNE on the last two Sundays, referred to the
Brooklyn educational system, and compared the
spirit of economy in that city with the extrava-
gance of the New-York Board of Education with
moro than half rs many children in BROOKLYN 1t was
said that its Board of Education in 1884 will receive

, Tur Te1RUNE in its issues OF the last two
SUNDAYS has given much attention to the schools
of New-Y York. showing the condition of the sys-
tom 10 nublic instruction here and the need of
imnrovement 1t has pointed out especially the
evils which result from defective sanitary ar
ranoements and from OvercrOwding. 1t has
shown that the enormous sum granted yearly to
maintain the common schools is not applied to
the best advantage that there Is extravaganza
in some divisions of the department and pinch
ing in others. Interviews with the Mayor, Con-
troller, President of the Tax Department, and
other city officials, and with the President and
the leading members of the Board of Education,
have been published, all throwing light Oh this
subject.
During the last week TRIBUNE reporters nave
been investigating the Brooklyn schools ana
have obtained much information OF vaiue 10
every one interested in the educational system
of the third city in the United States. Inc most
serious defect, it is generally admitted, Is the
lack of n sufficient number of primary schools.
Mayor Low dwclls upon this point and explains
that more money will be used next year IN sup
plying this deficiency than was employed III the
whole of the four years of the two terms OF
Mayor Howell. President Bergen, of the Board
of Education, speaks plainly of the defects in
the system, and is heartily supported by Super
intendcnt Patterson. A visit to one of the over
crowded schools is described herewith.
