NEW YORK's UNTERRIFIED.
The State Convention Meets at Sara
tOga at Noon.

Saratoga, N. Y. June 23.-All OF the
prominent democratic leaders Of the EN-
pire State and minor leaders by the score
are here in readiness for to-morrow's con-
vention, at which delegates-at-large to
the Chicago convention will be chosen
and district delegates named.
outside of the delegates and alternates
the attendance here OF convention follow
ers is light Among those who are here
complete harmony seems 10 prevail. Tam
many men and Grace men are united, and
many factional fights in other parts or
the state are patched up.
The Shepardites Of Brooklyn still refus ,
raey OF Kings county, and We're thrown
outside the breastworks by the state
committee this evening.
With this exception the amount of har-
mony that prevails promises to rob tho
gathering of enlivening features.
The presence of Mr.. Whitney and the
sound money PLANK to be adopted are al
most the only features of Importance. The
opposition to the gold standard Is so slight
that Mr.. Whitney's presence was not need
ed to assure a financial plank which would
be acceptable TO the business men Of the
state.
Mr., Whitney and Senator Hnl had a long
talk late this afternoon, and so far as can
be learned are agreed as TO the programme
to be followed
The state committee met tonight at 8 80
o'clock. James w. Hinkley, chairman, pre-
sided. Two vacancies on the committee
were filed.
The chairman was instructed to present
the name of John Boyd Thacher Of AL
bany for temporary chairman Of the con-
vention. The chairman announced that the
members of the committees and the Of
ficers Of the convention would be made by
congressional instead of senatorial dis
tricts.
The platform, which viii be adopted,
will follow very much an the lines of
former declarations by the democracy of
this state President Clevelands admin
| istration will be endorsed. The financial
plank will be a strong declaration Of In
ternational bimetallsm, the present gold
standard to be maintained until leading
commercial nations agree to act In con-
cert in establishing coinage values for
gold and silver. Free coinage of silver at
presnt will be declared impractlcable
A strong declaration in favor of free
Cuba will be made; and the unit rule in
the national convention will be advocated.
The New York delegates held meetings
tonight to select district delegates to Chi
cagO. 1t is practically settled that the Sc
lection Of the presidential electors will be
deferred until the fall convention instead
Of being made al this time. This change
is due to the uncertainty as to the out
come at Chicago.
The convention will be called to order at
noon tomorrow.

SAVANNAH, GA, WEDNESDAY. JUNE "a 1896

The next day. Sunday. I dined with The
consul general, and on Monday I went on
nofseDaek INTO the country as far as the
troeha. / was not molested. I met sew
eral insurgents and talked TO them. They
spoke highly OF Gen. Lee and hopeful OF
their cause. The general sentiment is
very strong for annexation 10 the United
states. They do not want liberty If lib-
erty means republic, because they feel
they could not retain It. When 1 ap-
proacheu the trOcha / saw the Spanish
guards, and instead OF courting an argl-
ment, l turned my horses head and re-
treated 1 was not halted or even salut-
ed by the Spaniards. The whole country
70 the west OF Havana as far as 1 trav-
eled is devastated by fire. The cane is
all gone and the property is in a generally
Wretched condition. Gen. Lee, / might
say, Is thoroughly cOnVersant with the
military system OF both the Spanlards
ana the insurgents on the Island. He has
been to the trocha, and, OF course, knows
more about it than ! do"
Then Mr.. Ryan made a peculiar state
ment He said that Gen. Lee and himself
had inspected the trocha from the roof of
vana. Then he explained that the trocha
was twenty miles from Havana
and admitted rather meekly that the
inspection could not be very minute while
they were eight miles away.
he also made a declaration that surpris-
ed some of those who were conversant
walking about in Havana with a newspa-
per correspondent.
would you like TO meet Antonio Ma
ceo?' his companion asked.
We'll. we will go and look him up" so
they started after the insurgent Cuban
general. After a visit to two or three
cafes he found the man of war with two
or three companions.
We swapped pictures" said Mr.. Ryan.
Maceo, of course, was not in uniform
and was dressed very poOe.
How did he get past the trocha and is
II not dangerous for a man like MaceO to
be parading around Havana?"
well, yes, ii is a little dangerous" re-
piled Mr.. Ryan, but you know the Span
iards are asleep half the time. Why, it is
said down there that he visits Havana
about once week 10 talk to the Ameri-
can agents Of the revolutionary party" he
continued.
Mr.. Ryan said he tried to draw Maceo
out regarding the condition Of affairs on
the island, and that he replied: II do not
know much about the civil end of this
question. l am hS-e for war and intend to
stick TO it to the ID"
Mr. Ryan described Gen. Weyler as a
remarkably courteous, but determined
looking man. Mr.. Ryan admitted that
he brought information from Cuba, but
would not admit that it was in writing.
He said that, as a matter of fact, Gen.
Lee started to work on his Cuban report
on Thursday last, and that It would leave
Havana on the Ward line steamship sail
ing from there on Thursday
Mr. Ryan said that he intended to take
an cary train for Washington

he would make a President that would
honor the republic, return to the first

liberty and Of the people, as has not
been done for a long time
Nominated and sustained by the BIZ

ANNAPOus AND THE NAVAL ACAD-

when the state of things as brought to

body gets the blame, but the cry goes

To locate the Naval Academy il you

We do not fear the removal of the

notoriety and morbid sensitiveness and
desire To be conspicuous has led him to
resort to the circus billboard methods

With a better understanding OF the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills which vanish before proper ef-
ts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort IN
the knowledge that so many forms OF
sickness are not due. to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof Figs, prompt
" removes. That is why it Is the only
remedy with millions of families. and Is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it IS the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness. without facilitating the
organs on which IT acts. It's therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase. that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
II in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then Taxa
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended TO the most slIllltul
physicians. but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informede everywhere, Syrup OF
FIGS stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
