 ever They Are-Tne Platform.
 SYRACUSE, N. Y.. June 1.-The s'May Convention" selected delegates to the Democratic National Convention at Chi. cago, but it is generally understood that they will not make contest tor seats.
 They will go in the form of contestinR delegates in order to obtain recognition enough from the National Convention to enable them to place before that body q resolution stating that it is the desire of the Democrats of New York State that Grover Cleveland should receive the nomination for President.
 After the organization yesterday, as stated in these dispatches, . recess was taken to allow the various committees to%o their work. The convention re-assembled at 4:10 and E. Ellery Anderson, from the Com nittee on Resolutions reported the platform. It declares that the Dem- ocratic party alone is true to the people, and alone can be trusted GO duhlu1SOGE bu0IC 6uAAESs us 01C- Kinley bill is ranked as Q measure "of class legislation never before heard of," and it states that the last Congress dis played utter contempt for economy and honesty.
 The silver plank is dealt with in the following manner: "We approve the use of both gold and silver as money. But we demand that all dollars, whether gold or silver, shall be equal in value to \ aach othar in ia VYAll ma hv dac1ara. tion of law.
 ''We are opposed to the free coinage of silver by the United States alone at the existing rate of sixteen to one, be- cause we do not believe that free coinage at that ratio will produce equality of real value between the gold and silver dollar"
 The platform continues: "When a party machine claims to be the party it. self, instead of its instrument; when it calls the party caucuses at unaccustom- ! ed seasons and upon insufficient notice; when regardless of the votes there cast, l it places in the convention those who, regardless of the views and wishes of their constituents, will agree in advance | to support the schemes and candidates l of the Oligarchy 1t has established; when il gives notice in advance that they who ! will not agree to be so sutservient will | not be administration 1t usurps the function of the party, ceases to be repre- sentative, creates discontent, arouses no sentiments, weakens the party and greatly imperils its success. Then it be- comes the duty of the original clements ! of the party to take action that will re- ! store to it just relations between mem bers and their agents"
 In closing Grover Cleveland Is in- dorsed, but the matter of either naming him, making a contest or protest, is left an open question with the Chicago delegation.
 A resolution was adopted pledging support to the candidates named at | at Chicago.
 Delegates were then chosen to Chicago, those at-large being: Frederick Coudert, Edmund Fitzgerald, k. A. Orr and Charles A. Bishop. The electors chosen are the same as those adopted by the February convention.
 Ex-Mayor w. R. Grace, E. Ellery An derson, Henry R. Beekman, Morton Chase, w. s. Beach, Charles s. Fair child, w. A. Poucher, Colonel Monroe, John D. Herman, John E. E. Ashe and James ShanHhRn dined together last night and were exceedingly jubilant over the result of the convention.
 Mir. Grace said: Ut is foolish even to suppose that the Chicago Convention can ignore the results of this conven- ! tlon. They could not even If they were as absolutely under control of Tammany As is the machine in this State. ven ture to make this prediction and make it in all seriousness. We shall have a representation in the convention hall at Chicago
 Mir. Fairchild said: eve are not abso- lutely for Grover Cleveland. It is true his name has been cheered. It is like wise true that resolutions commenting his course have been passed, but we are not hide-bound, like the February con vention, to one man. We are for the great mass of'the people, for Democracy, for the Chicago ticket and the Chi cago platform. Iratify MT. Grace's pre- dicLion that we will have representa- tion in the Chicogo convention"
 The general opinion among the dele gates is that while the action of the con- venliOn was not particularly favorable to Mir. Cleveland, in that it will not make him popular with the Hill ad
 herents, still the object of the meeting, the destruction of the candidacy of DA- vid B. Hill, is accomplished.
