THEY WILL SPEAK Win NO US-
CERTAIN SOUND At SYRACUSE.

Flower, Hewitt. Shepard. and Bel
mont May be selected as Delegates At
| Large to the Indianapolis Convention.
SYRACUSE, Aug. 29-It was In this town In
| 1870 that Tammany Hall bolted the regularly
| nominated candidate for Governor, and accom-
plished tho overthrow OF Lucius Robinson.
The events of that campaign are still
| fresh in the memories of Democrats.
| Gov. Robinson had offended Tammany,
| and John Kelly, the leader OF that
ancient organization. opposed his renomIna-
| ton. and when IL was accomp plshed In spite OF
| him he and his organization bolted. named
| Kelly for Governor captured $4,000 votes mt
tho polls On election day. and this threw the
! ofilce Of Governor TO Alonzo B. Cornell, the
| machine Republican candidate.
The sound money Democrats who are gather
| ing mere to- light for the purpose of attending
their State Convention on Monday, could not
| but recall this episode in Tammany's history as
an offset to Tammany's declaration that 1t must
remain regular" and not oppose Bryan and the
| Anarchstc- Popuistic platform on which he
| stands.
The Robinson Kelly episode was recalled in
| no ungracous spirit. II was simply mentioned
| as . reminder OF other days when Tammany
was not such a stckler for regularity.
From tho evidences at hand tonight, tho
| sound money Democrats nre to have highly
| interesting Convention. The sessions will begin
| at noon Monday in Alhambra Rink. 1t
was from that rink. in lS0? that the anti
snappers marched on Chicago and brought
about the nomination of Cleveland.
Most OF the people who were engaged In the
anti-snap enterprise are the leaders Of this
SOUND. .money movement among the Democrats
| Of New York State. They have gained. how
| over. valuable and powerful acquisitions since
| the Chicago Conventions, notably In the per-
sons OF ex-Gov. Roswell +. Flower and
Mayors Cooper and ADram S. Hewitt.
Ex-Congresstnan Perry Belmont 10 also in.

and yet, inasmuch as he Is member OF the
| Democratic State Committee, he cannot take
open steps until the fiat of the Democratic State
Convention at Buffalo on Sept 10 is known. Mr..
Belmont, however. will attend the National
| Convention Of sound money Democrats in In
dianapols on Wednesday next.
1t has been said In the inner circles OF tho
Democratic state machine within the last
twenty-four hours that pronounced action on
the part OF the sound-money Democrats in
this Syracuse Convention will only intensity
the determination Of the Democratic State ma
chine TO endorse Bryan ana to swallow that
monstrous Chicago platform. IL was further de-
clared that the Democratic State machine and its
leaders are 60 bitterly arrayed against Edward
