The first plank OF the platform is as
follows:
@The Democratic party of the State
Of New York. in convention assem-
bled. unreservedly endorses the plat
form adopted by the Democratic party
at the National Convention in Chica-
go on July Z, 1896; cordially approves
the nominations there made, and
pledges William j. Bryan and Arthur
Sewall its hearty and active support,
and declares as it's deliberate judy
ment that never before in the history
OF the Democratic party has a plat
form been written which embodied
more completely the interests of the
whole people, as distinguished from
those who seek Legislation for private
benefit, than that given the country
by the National Democratic Conven-
ton OF 1896"
The platform denounces the Ralnes
exercise law as infringing upon the
rights of citizens; accuses the Repub-
lican State administration and Legis-
lature of prostituting it's powers to
partisan ends in legislating Democrats
out out Of Office; advocates the im-
porvement of roads, and urges All

FALLING Prices.

1t is estimated that the Kansas
wheat crop this year will average
only nine bushels per acre. This.
at 80 cents per bushel. would make
S4.5O'an acre as the gross value OF the
crop. In this there should be enough
to convince anyone that gold Mono
metalism, which has forced down
the price Of wheat ia disastrous to
the wheat growers Of Kansas. 1t is
impossible for farmers to make
money when they can get as the gross
price Of a crop $3.50 per acre. 1t is
no wonder that farmers who under
stand the relation between the gold
standard and falling prices are in
favor Of the unrestricted coinage OF
silver.-Denver Republican.

Miss Field called his attention to the fact
that his government had been said to be
characterized by an insane desire to per-
petuate itself in office. Mr.. Dole said:
1.-THE fact that the government is work
ing for annexation to the United States is
a good denial OF that charge. Annexation
may deprive us, or some of us, of office. In
the higher offices are men to whom 1t
means personal sacrifice and business loss
to discharge their duties. 1t is simply q
SANDER to say this desire for annexation
is simply pretense. We are working in
good faith, and believe the people appre-
ciate the fact. AS to the form of annexation
that would best meet our requirements,
it is difficult to say. A territorial form Of
government unmodified from the form OBJ
tanning in the United States territories
will scarcely be suitable. Probably tho
best course would be to gradually develop
from our present system, the federal au-
thorities, Of course, having from the be-
ginning Jurisdiction over custom houses,
postoff1 ces and federal courts"

Dana from division chiefship to Mur- phys old place, as did his devotion to civil service reform. An outside man of sufficient ability to fill the place would not care to become commissioner of Pen- sions for nine months.
 The populist senators furnished proof that the silver question can be made to cut both ways when they joined the demo- crats and voted to keep Col. Dupont out of the senate, and succeed by a majority of 1. It has been an open secret around Washington that the opponents of silver would not allow the admission of any more territories to statehood until the silver question had been disposed of. As a Senator Col. Dupont would have been a recruit to the anti-silver ranks, but he didn't become a senator, although one populist vote would have seated him. Tit for tat may be an undignified game for senators to play at, but when man becomes senator he doesn't cease to be human, and the average man doesn't turn the other cheek when struck, but swipes the striker with all his might It is really matter for regret that the senate should have divided upon partisan lines on such an important constitutional ques- tion as that involved in Col. Dupont's claim for seat.
 Notice has been given that an attempt be made in the senate to get vote on the resolution prohibiting further issue Oi bonds without the specific consent o1 congress. This resolution could probably be adopted if vote could be had upon it but no vote is likely to be reached upor it at the present session, although it is generally believed that more bonds vii be issued under that old law before the close of the Cleveland administration The gold reserve will probably be below the $1OO, ,000, 900 mark before congress

Nor gan, instructing the president to immedi ately issue a proclamation recognizing the Cubans as belligerents. The failure to adopt this resolution will not be because it lacks a majority, but, because a few senator's less than ten have agreed thai it shall not be voted upon, and because the rules of the senate put it in the power of small but determined minority tC stave off a vote indefinitely upon this o1 any other matter.

Washington Letter.
WaShinPtOn. May 11th. 1RQf

Washington, May 11th, 1896.
 Would Senator Teller, of ColO, accept the democratic nomination for president on free silver platform .? In view of Senator Teller's years of prominence is the republican party that might seem to some to be a ridiculous question. But it is being seriously asked by men who are in no joking mood, since MT. Teller stated his intention to bolt the St. Louis conven- tion if something is not done for silver in its platform. The question of course, falls to the ground if the gold or Cleve- land democrats succeed in controlling the Chicago convention. That the St. Louis convention will be dominated by the gold republicans is now conceded by nearly everybody, and by the time that conven- tiOn meets much better idea can be formed about which wing of the demo- cratic party will be on top at the Chicago convention. If the gold men win 1t is believed that President Cleveland will be renominated. The men who want Senator Teller nominated if the silver men win argue that even if the gold democrats do not bolt the convention if the silver plat form is adopted, they will do little or nothing to help elect the ticket, and that It will be necessary to win over silver re- publicans to make up for the detection. They say that Colorado has already made l. plain that it will follow and support Teller, and that Montana, Idaho, Utah and California and probably other states could be carried by him. Of course Senator Teller isn't going to say in advance of formal offer whether he would accept such nomination, but that doesn't pre- vent Its being talked about
 The meeting of the supreme council of the A. P. A. just closed, was probably the most stormy in the history of that organ ization. Gov. Mckinley was the bone of contention. While the supreme council is supposed to keep out of partisan poli tics,it really doesn't do any thing of the kind. It is also supposed that members of the A. P. A. do not carry their politics into matters connected with the organ ization, but they do allthe same. A large majority of the supreme council are re- pudlicans and most of them Mckinley men; hence therepudiation of the boycott put on Mckinley by the Advisory committe of the A. P. A. In fact, that committee repudiated its own action and threw the blame upon those who gave it information which caused the boycott.
 It is not improbable that being near the
