IN FAVOR OF BRYAN
EMPIRE STATE DEMOCRATS WILL
INDoRsE HIM AT BUFFALO.
Tnmmnny Hail Conceded 10 Re In
ControI-The Slate Is Already
for Confirmation.

Buffalo, n. Y. Sept. lat looks like
Al state convention tonight, and the
arrival of the Tammany delegation has
done more to bring in view the old
convention faces than anything that
has happened. During the afternoon
there was every evidence of friction.
but as the evening wore on, the Tam
many delegation arrived in town, every
light controversy that had arisen was
smoothea over, and it became more
than ever evident that the convention
was to be dominated by the great po-
litical organization from New York
city.
From the time Mr.. Hinckly arrived
this morning, and announced that the
selections Of Elliott Danforth. the
New York member of the Bryan AMI
Sewall notification committee, for
state chairman and Frank 5. Campbell
for national committeeman, were IA
vorable to Mr. Hill, until late tonight,
when this news was confirmed, there
had been a conflict among the assem-
bled delegates and a flood of gossip
that led up to the belief that there
would be serious friction. Il ends to-
night by the withdrawal of Mayor
Malloy from the contest for state com
mittee chairman and the endorsement
of Mr. Campbell for the office of ma
tional committeeman, an ending that
to everybody's mind signifies a COM
promise with Senator Hill, in order to
keep together the state organization,
and a withdrawal of Senator Murphy's
candidate in the interest of harmony.
1t also leads the skeptical TO allege
that the newspaper differences be
tween Senators Hill and Murphy were
concerted for a purpose, and that the
whole affair of Senator Hill staying
away and the organization finally
bowling to him in the matter of the Sc
lection of state party officials, was for
the purpose of deceiving the rank and
file into the belief that there was a
difference of opinion as to the whole
conduct of the convention.
When the story of the candidacy Of
Danforth for the Craftsmanship was
first given out this morning, Mayor
Malloy of Troy, who had been herald
ed as the candidate of Senator Muir
ply, was highly indignant But just
when men were beginning to think a
fight was on between Senators Hill
and Murphy, Mr.. Malloy appeared
with Mr.. Danforth. and after a few
frinedly conversations, declared with
a great display of astonishment that
he did not intend to be a candidate.
that Mr.. Danforth was the only candi-
date in the field and would be elected.
| Almost the same statement was made
in relation to the candidacy of Frank
| Campbell for the Office of national com
mtteeman, although the Albany dele
! gates. headed by Norton Chase, who
| have to their credit the keeping home
of Senator Hill. declared in the after
noon, with much freedom of speech.
that the slate of Senator Hill could
not go through.
The changes in the program during
the afternoon and evening and after
the arrival of the majority of the
delegates. were not many. The ticket.
! as it stands selected today. is For

/ The platform will endorse the Chi
cago national ticket and platform
will arraign the last republican legis-
lature as the most extravagant in the
history of the state; will say the
Raines liquor law was merely for the
creation of a vast republican machine
and to assist in reducing, at the ex-
pense of a class, the tax rate of the
state, which would otherwise have
been the largest in the history of the
state; and, among other things, advo-
! Gates the adoption of more stringent
laws regarding trusts
