CONVENTION HALL. SARATOGA.
Sept. 26.-Following is the platform pre-
scented to the Convention to-day:
1.-The Democratic party of New York
congratulates the people OF the State
upon the restoration of business conf
dence and the Improvement of Industrial
conditions which are following the re-
peal by a Democratic Congress OF the
panic bringing laws of its Republican
predecessors.
"Unsound financial legislation, driving
out our gold and threatening single
silver standard; a worse-than-war tariff
unnecessarily adding to the cost of liv-
ing, diminishing Federal revenues and
over stimulating favored industries at
the general expense; prof1igate eNpendl-
lures, converting an assuring treasury
surplus Into an alarming dehcit; these
were the ill-cOncelved and Inflated pro
ducts of Republican craftsmanship
which brought the country TO the verge
of financial and industrial ruin, which

inside the railing and yet in the rear OF
the seats reserved for delegates.
Senator Hill entered the Convention
Hall at 1.35 o'clock, and he was enthu-
siastically chesred by delegates and
spectators. 1t was said that the Com

Senator for Permanent Chairman.
In Mr.. HITS wake came another
rumor TO the effect that the ticket would

WHITNEY WOULD NOTACCEPT
Positively Declined to Make the
Race for Governor This Fall.


William C. Whitney is home from
Europe, and he positively declines to
become the nominee OF his party for
Governor this Fall.
The White Star steamship Majestic,
with Mr.. Whitney on board, was sighted
off Fire Island at 2 o'clock this morn
ing, and two hours later dropped anchor
of Quarantine.
j. Sergeant Cram, who came down
from Saratoga last night with a com
mission to ascertain for certain Tam
many leaders II Mr. Whitney would ac-
cept the nomination, boarded the Ma
Jestic at Quarantine. Mr.. Cram was
accompanied by Hans s. Beattie, and
the two were shown at once TO Mr..
Whitney's quarters.
They were in conference some time
and the result must have been very dis
appointing to Mr.. Cram and to the gen.
tlemen who sent Mr.. Cram upon his
delicate mission. Just what Mr.. Whit
ney told Messrs. Cram and Beattie
could not be learned, but there was no
indecision in his announcement to the
reporters who were waiting for h, n.
The others on hand to greet Mr.. Whit
ney and learn his decision included
Naval Officer c C, Baldwin, c. II.
Miller. John C. Mcguire. ]. T. Words
worth Samuel Babcock and r. McClay,
President of the Knickerbocker Trust
Company. Mr.. Whitney had expected
his sons. Harry and Willie, to meet
him at Quarantine, but they missed
the Chandler, and so waited for their
father on the pier.
Mr. Whitney is apparently in the best
OF health, and says he has enjoyed him
self Immensely while abroad. He was
accompanied by his daughter After he
had finished his breakfast Mr.. Whitney

CONVENTION HALL. SARATOGA
Sept. 26.--With the air thick with con-
fcting rumors and the issue still very
much in doubt, delegates and spectators
began filing into the hall at IL o'clock
The Committee on Contested Seats was
still in session, and the leaders were
still under cover-hxing up states, 1t was
Il currently reported.
The AAclina ton of Mr.. Whitney had
Ei- ~ life to TEACHERS languishng
boom. The report was circulated widely,
and almost as widely believed, that
David B. Hill had come out fiatly and
firmly for that gentleman. George
Thatcher, after interviews with some Of
the leaders, had announced that John
Boyd would get 1t on the first ballot
The confident manner in which this an
nouncement was made created a pro-
found sensation. for Thacher, 1t is con-
coded. would not make SO good a race
as Gaynor, Hill or Whitney.
Just here rumor brought new factor
In to help increase the confusion. This
rumor took first place On the ticket
away from Greater New York by naming
as TEACHERS running mate, Perry Bel
mont, of the metropolis.
This rumor, too, found credence,
and there seemed a possibility of
Thatcher and Belmont going on record
as the" slate, when another rumor
cropped out. This time it was to the
effect that Senator David b. Hill would
arrange his cards so as to have 1t APP
pear that the nomination was forced
upon him. and then gracefully accept.
Rumor in this instance named Police
Justice Thomas F Grady, the silver
tongued, of New York. as the nomInator.
Right on the heels of this came rumors
by brigades, and II was impossible TO
Keep track OF them.
Later this slate was amended by the
substitution of the name of ex-senator
CHARLES p. McClelland, of Westchester
County, for that of Mr. Belmont, and 1t
was given out that Mr.. Belmont had re-
FUSED second place on the ticket, be-
cause he wanted first place.
When the Thacher- McClelland combi-
nation began to be talked about, the i'm
preston grew that the Convention
would get through with a rush and
ad)ourn sine die before o'clock.
Our Challenge TO the 4. Il. A."
At u noon, the hour fixed for the re-
sumption OF business by the delegates

crowd did not seem TO mind the delay
ana 1t was kept in good humor by the
bands, Spectators and delegates JOINED
IN singing the words of the popula1
airs as soon as the bands struck up with
them. The wearing of the Green
was cheered, and one delegate arose II

A STARTLING FACT.

sixteen Per Cent OF Life Insurance Appli-
cants Rejected ON Account of Disess. d
Kidneys.
DIR. La nbert, the general medical direc.
tor OF he Equitable Life Insurance Com
pany, New York, says:
"We reject sixteen per cent. OF the anplica
tions made To US for insurance, and have
saved the entire expense Of this medical de
partmeat by he rejection alone OF appli
cants who had diseased kidneys and who
died two years after rejected them."
This appalling statement should have
the attention OF our citizens. There Is no
rea' on today why people should allow
kidney disease to get such hold on them.
Nature sends her warning In the slight
pain In the back, poor circulation OF the
blood, sediment in the urine. When any
OF these symptoms appear DIR. David Ken
nedy's Favorite Re- emedy should be taken
~ email doses at once, and thus drive the
poison out OF the blood and restore The
kidneys to healt by action. To our knowl-
edge this is the only medicine that surely
cures his almost universal complaint.
We note the recovery OF Mr., Oscar Lam
bert of Jerico, Mo-, whose case has been
talked of In the papers the world over.
Quoting from his letter to the Press, MIR.
Lambert says:
"I neglected the first symptoms until |
found myself In bed with compiica ed dis
ease OF the kidneys. No mortal ever 81 ffered
help me. | then used Or. David Kennedy's
Remedy II relieved my kidneys almost i'm.
mediately. and IN few weeks was clear OF
all pain and entirely cured +"
Mrs. A. j F. Manchester of Providence,
r. l., writes:
II began using DIR. Kennedy's Favorite
failed TO relieve me. It drove bad humor
out OF my blood and cured my kidney
trouble"
Favorite Remedy has had more free ad-
vertising in the columns OF the daily
papers then anything we know OF, from
the fact that 1t does as is promised-cures
disease.

the deadly blow. or the four other men
killed not one had any standing In the ring.
cannot recall a single instance where a
well known boxer has been killed by a
blow. Sullivan and Kilrain fought IS rounds
and neither man was injured. jackson and
Corbett punched each other for over four
hours and were as good as ever the follow
ing day. Corbett knocked Sullivan out In
NJ rounds, and both left the ring compare
lively uninjured. Corbett gave Mitchell
his quietus in three rounds. and two hours
afterward Mitchell was ss well as ever.
George Dixon has whipped dozens Of men,
but he never killed one, and he Is AZ hard
as nails today himself These men and
scores OF other we'll known pugilists that
may be named are strong, healthy, trained
fighters who can take any amount Of pun
ishment and not feel IL week afterward.
Physicians generally scout the idea that a
healthy, we'll trained man may be killed by
a single blow or by numerous severe blows.
DIR. George Il. Shrady, the famous special
ist, said recentlyi when two men train
faithfully for prize fight and enter the
ring In perfect condition, providing they
have no organic or even functional trouble,
contend that II is improbable that one can
be killed instantly by the force Of blow
from the others fist or that he may die later
from its effects. In a majority Of cases
where blow from a fist In the alleged cause
OF death the autopsy shows evidences of dis
ease"
Much the same argument applies to the
deadly aspect Of football. or the eight
players killed In American games last sea-
son not one belonged to even third rate
eleven. They were all crude, unframed
scrub players, and at least one Of them was
killed for the sole reason that he was play.
ing on improper ground. He fell on pro
jecting piece of rock and was so severely in
jured in the abdomen that he died. 1t is
hardly necessary TO state that he might
have struck the rock while playing tag and
that football really was not responsible for
his death.
Some of the very toughest games Of the
year were played by the elsvens of Yale,
Harvard, Princeton, University Of Penn
sylyania, Wesleyan, Stanford, University
of Virginia and Chicago university. but
none Of the players on these teams was
killed. They were all strong. healthy, we'll
trained athletes, and "'midst the crowd,
the hum, the shock Of men," they took their
medicine like gladiators of old and got out
of the melee alive. Some of them were
somewhat disfRured, 1t Is true. but they
are all still I'm the ring.
There is undoubtedly considerable room
for reform In both football and fighting,
but much of the brutality Of the latter has
already been done away with, and the
chasers of the pigskin are now hard at work
humanizing their favorite game. In fight
ing the more humane small gloves have
taken the place of bare knuckles. increased
science in boxing has made the contests
shorter and far less brutal. and the agony
that was usually prolonged 90 or so rounds
is now very frequently over in six or eight
or even less. EARLE II. EATON.

DEADLY PlSlIMfS.
Fatalities IN Football and
Prizefighting.
THE FORMER KILLS MORE MEN
The Victims Are Usually Weak and
Unframed.

Football and prizefghting are the cyno-
sure Of all sporting eyes and have the cen
sure OF many sporting tongues just now.
For nearly two centuries pugilism has
numbered its admirers by hundreds Of
thousands, but the unavoidable brutality
Of the sport has gradually increased public
opinion against IL until today there are
few places remaining where two leading
exponents Of the manly art may meet and
settle the question Of supremacy unmolest-
ed. For a dozen years football has num-
bered its admirers by millions, but since
the leading elevens have often transformed
the game from legitimate contest OF ath-
letic skill to free fight that puts Donny-
brock fair to shame tho sport loving public
has called halt in thunderous chorus. IL
admires skill, strength and athletic gem
eralship, but IL has no use for wanton bru-
tality. The thumbs down days Of the Ro-
man arena seem to have passed away.
AS it was played last year football was a
far more dangerous sport than prizehght-
ing. Nearly every eleven had half dozen
young giants whose principal duty was To
slug and injure or knock out an opposing
player The game degenerated into prize
fight, but was full Of foul tactics that would
not be tolerated a moment in the ring. A
pugilist wins by 80 severely Furnishing his
opponent with the fists that he can no long
er come TO time. An unfair blow or kick
means defeat for the boxer who delivers IT,
Last season the members Of a successful
football eleven often slugged, kicked, jump
ed upon and even bit their adversaries until
they were too thoroughly used up to longer
play effectively A decisive goal was literal
ly knockout. Much Of this brutal work.
