SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 25.-The New York
Republican machine, with Engineer Platt's
hand on the throttle, moved to day with
celebrity, and even Warner Miller came up
last night to "see how the old thing
worked" though It cannot be said that he
was attracted by an absorbing interest In
the events OF the day. Depew and Aiscock
were late arrivals last night, too, and US
platt was already here, the presence Of the
'the Big Four" gave an appearance OF the
most perfect harmony to all that was done.
When tho convention assembled this morn
ing everything was "cut and dried" &C.
cordlng TO Mr.. Platt's approved plan.

faith In the principals enunctated at
Chicago and'our confidence In President

Republican restoration" approve Harri-
sons administration, reaffirm the national
party platform of 1888, emphasizes approval

| sion laws and discriminating preference
for Union veterans IN appointments TO Office

BALTlMoRE DEMOCRATS.
BALTIMORE. Sept. 25.--Mayor Ferdinand
| G. Lntrobe, who has been In the city hail
| for three terms, was retired from the Dem.
| oc.Atig tlcket to-day and new man Ia
| politics was placed In nomination. This
man Is Robert q. Davidson, who was BON
| In Richmond, and who came to Baltimore
| and worked his way up froia messenger
boy to financial manager OF the big dry
goods house of Daniel Miller Il Co. His
| selection was due TO the Business Mems
Democratic Association, which has been
| trying to get a respectable reRult out OF the
chaos OF the local situation.
The nominations on the municipal ticket
| are regular Democrats. A unique feature
| ptnnf tho az Dnminp4a fnp the 1ifu anunatl
Is that not one OF them is saloon keeper.
The msiority OF them are physicians and
| merchants.
The Maryland Democratic state conyen-
ton was held In Baltimore Thursday, and
Col. l.. Victor Baughman. the present In
cumbant. was unanimously renominated
| for state controller. The feature OF the CON-
vention was the absence OF Senator Cor
man. For the first time since he has con-
trolled the Democratic party In Maryland
his smooth, smiling face was missed from
| the state council Of his subordlnates. Two
weeks ago he and the other so.cslled
bosses OF the party gave 1t out that the bus
iness men OF Baltimore should run the
campaign In this city aud that even In the
selection OF the legislative candidates the
politicians would hold aloof.
AN EXCITING ooHvENTIoN.
The Philadelphia Democratic county
conventions Thursday nominated the fol-
lowing ticket: Judge OF the court OF com.
mon pleas, No. 2. Samuel W. Pennypaeker,
Republican, indorsed; district-attorney,
John +. Lewis; coroner, DR.. James Il.
Cantrell; clerk of the court CT quarter
sessions, Major Moses Veale. The district
attorney convention was one of the live
Hest and most exciting held for years.
There was strong feeling In favor OF en-
dorslng Distrlct.attorney George 4 Graham,
the Republican nominee, as the Democratic
convention had done three years ago. when
Mr.. Graham was unanimously elected. The
young Democracy Of the city led by Robert
$. Patterson and Lawyer David W. Sellers
demanded straight-out party nomination
for district attorney while the old party
leaders, among whom Squire Momulen
and State Senator william MeAleer were
conspicuous, wanted the party to irdorse
Graham. Thursdays convention was bel 1
In Industrial Hail and IN Ihe initial strng-
gle for the election OF chairman tbs Ora
hamites won by a margin OF one vote. But
when 1t came to the final test resolution
endorsing Mr.. Graham's candidacy, the
vote was "a ayes to SO nays. Then num-
Der OF the delegates who favored Graham
, loft the convention, but more than O
quorum remained and John II. Lewis was
nominated for district. attorney, receiving
lOl votes. He accepted the nomination In
a brief speech before the convention.
POLITICAL POINTERS.
The convention OF the Union Prohibitory
League OF Pennsylvania met IN HARRISBURG
! Thursday, with loo. delegates, and elected
permanent officers. The platform adopted
! recltes the evils growing out OF the liquol
, traffic and declares that the constitutions
i prohibitory amendment failed in June last
/ because OF the unfair political methods o
: those opposed to 1t. 1t therefore, concludes
/ that such "a verdict cannot be accepted al
a final; but, as the constitution cannot bi
. amended for i've years to come, il favor
1 the most restrictive legislation aud the en-
4 forcement Of the present policy OF pro
hlbltion in the counties which voted There
: for. The League will favor the election o
4 candid Ates TO public office, without respec
. TO party, who will best represent Its prin
4 ciples, aud 1t urges the reorganization O
: union prohlbitory leagues In every city
i county and town In the state.
