Syracuse, n. Y, Sept. 23.-The
streets. corridors of hotels and every
place where politicians can gather,
have turned into meeting places for
democratic slatemakers and breakers,
and so glutted is every avenue in the
hotels that 1t is difiicult TO move about.
Every train since noon has brought In
Its quota of delegates. from the EN-
pire State express that landed David
B. Hill. Comptroller Campbell, Clerk
Defrees and Chairman J. w. Hinckley
and the fast mail. with Senator Muir
ply and ex-Lieutenant Governor Shee-
han, down to the slower-going specials.
one bearing Tammany. 500 strong. and
another with the state democracy
aboard to the number of $50. II Is esti-
mated that at least n third more pco-
pie are here than were at the republi-
can convention at Saratoga, and still
they will come tonight and to-mor-
row.
Tonight precedents have been
thrown to the wind and the slate that
this morning was in fairly good condl-
tion Is almost lost sight of behind the
swarm Of new candidates. The only
offices that seem to be out of dispute
are those of secretary Of state and at
torney general. The comptrollership
seems 10 be the main bone of conten-
ton. and since 3 o'clock p. m. there
have developed FIVE new candidates.
The leaders smiled at the Donnybrook
among the candidacy, and refused to
make selections. The probability there
fore Is that the slate will not be selected
before tomorrow night. The first prop
osition submitted tonight and to be
introduced tomorrow In the conven-
tion. will be this plank:
"The great democratic governor
Samuel ]. Tilden. in his message. in
his message to THE legislature OF 1875
recommended the improvement of the
state canals on the plan embodied in
the proposition to be voted on by the
people at the approaching election. In
complete accord with the principles and
policies of Governors Seymour. Tilden
and Hill, the democrats heartily ap-
prove the proposition for improving the
canals Of this state. We denounce as
a cowardly subterfuge the uttemnces
Of ithe republican party on the most
important question OF canals. The
democratic party OF New York stands
unalterably opposed to the Eo-called
ship canal through the great inland
lakes and the tide water OF the Hud-
son river, as we'll as against federal
aid toward improving our canals. or
national interference with the canal
system owned and operated by the
state"
The remainder OF the platform. ex-
elusive Of the excise question. is as fol-
lows in abbreviated form: Declaring
that the return to prosperity In the
country IS due to the proper admins
tration OF national affairs by the DEM
ocrats. and protesting against any
tariff tinkering; declaring against the
re-enactment OF any law similar to the
Sherman silver law: commendlng the
administration OF President Cleveland; /;
pointing out the immense expense in
Cured By the so-called investigating
committees and the ssddling of prob
able additional expenses each year
crlticizing the partisan legislation In
dulged In and the failure 10 work the
reforms promised: arTaigning the ad-
mInis.rntion OF Governor Morton for
glaring sins Of commission and omis-
sion.
Al to-n.ghrs meeting the state COM
mcttee adopted a resolution that the
Tammany delegates from Kings county
be given two-thirds OF the vote and che
Shepherd faction one-third. The COM
mlttee selected Hon. Perry Belmont TO be
the temporary chairman OF the coaven-
