The NEW YORK
DEMOCRACY
Tammany in Control and Sold Out
to the Silver Mine
Owners.
CHIcAGo's REvoLUTIONIsTs
VIII he Endorsed II the Platform as
Reported Is Adopted-Much Excite
ment Prevails and Little Talk
Of Fusion.

Buffalo. Sept. lG-The platform Of the
Democratic party In this state, as
drafted tonight. will have as It's first
proposition this statement:
The Democrats Of the state Of New
York. in convention assembled, do here
by approve, and unreservedly indorse
the platform adopted by the national
convention at Chicago. and We here
By unanimously approve the nominees
o; said convention. William Jennings
Bryan and Arthur Sewall. and pledge
them our earnest and cordial support"
The completion OF the hrst days ses-
sion Of the Democratic state convention
has not disturbed in any great meas
ure the forecast that had been pre-
pared. The conditions tonight, how
ever. are interesting. because OF the
Internal fights which. while good ma
tured upon their surface. are not want
ing in Internal bitterness. The prin-
cipal strife tonight Is to prevent the
adoption OF the unit rule and TO pre-
vent thereby the nomination Of any
candidate without a fair. open fight.
Particularly are the friends Of Con-
gresham suizer striving to this end.
II is reasonably certain tonight that
the ticket will be:
Governor, John Boyd Thatcher, Of
Albany.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, ex-Mayor Ryan,
Of Syracuse.
Judge OF the Court Of Appeals Rob
ert C. Titus, Of Buffalo.
Chairman Of the state committee, E.
+. Danforth
National Committeeman, Frank
Campbell.
Phe slate has not been decided upon
without hourly opposition. and the op-
position is so bitter that while the GER
tainty Of the ticket is almost establish
ed at late hour tonight, complications
may arise which will change any name
upon the ticket. with the possible ex-
ception Of Judge Titus The planning
Of the candidacy Of Thatcher has been
in the hands Of a man who is not num-
bered among the delegates, and this in
itself has caused some OF the opposi-
ton. The man is Anthony y. Brady,
Of Albany. president Of several large
corporations and a stakeholder in the
Chicago Gas Company, This fact has
arrayed the more radical free silver
men against Thatcher and they are
claiming many pledges.
The greatest excitement of the day
at the convention was the announce
ment that there had been practical
fusion of Populists and Democrats, in
which Senator Hm's friends had been
active. in assisting the Populists, The
story came direct from the chairman
Of the Populist committee Of five, y.
Fiske, one Of the Populists, said:
1T was agreed that the Populists
should support the nominees and plat
form Of this convention, no matter who
the nominees were. il. in return fol
this support, they will be allowed tC
name five presidential electors"
The final arrangement has not yet
/ been made.

Dor this evening, ran aground opposite

big rock amidships and IS considered
In dangerouse condition.
When she reached the harbor the
tide was running out strongly and was
at about half ebb." The first warning
the officers had Of danger was a slight
shock just forward OF amidships. Cap
tain Glass at once ordered the port an
chor out. The hook held firmly and the
ship gradually swung broadside on the
beach. She was firm and could not be
moved 50 as to make the least head
way by means OF the anchor. The ebb-
ing tide left her a fixture for the night
at least.
Captain Henry Glass and Lieutenant
]. d. Kelley were both on the bridge
and neither supposed the water at that
point to be so shallow An examina-
7 tion was made and 1t was decided to
send for a tug. At the tide below half
I ebb. five fathoms Of water were found
under the bow and about the same
depth under the stern. AS the tide
fell the bow began TO appear above
water and tonight it is out Of water.
The stern is on a line with the water.
All naval officials who have seen the
vessel admit that her position IS a
dangerous one.
The tug Aquidnack arrived alongside
within half an hour after she struck,
and quickly got line out The war

the tug TO handle. and was apparently
fixed firmly on the rock. The tug was
