WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The Bancroft
sailed from Tompkinsville today bound
for Gibraltar. She probably will touch
at Fayal, Azores, en- route, to take on q
supply Of coal. At the navy department
it is said her orders simply are to report
to Admiral Selfridge at Gibraltar. The
admiral will direct the further move
ments Of this ship. 1t is neither admit
ted nor denied that the Bancroft is
going to Conetantinople, but it is not
doubted that it is intended to make an
effort to take her there to serve simply
as refuge for American citizens in case
OF an outbreak that might jeopardize
their safety. The Cincinnati is rapidly
making ready to follow the Bancroft
into Turkish waters, carrying relief
crews for the vessels now on the station
and relieving the Marblehead, which will
come home.

PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. 15-Returne
from small towns and plantations in dis
tant parts of the state are, as usual, COM
ing in very slowly, and it is not probable
all of them will be beard from before to-
morrow. The vote from cities and towns
which poll more than two-thirds Of the
entire vote Of the state indicate, however,
that the republican plurality will be be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, the largest in
the history of the state. In every county
in the state the republican ticket was
successful and every town showed repub-
lican gains. The democratic vote is
about 40 per cent less than in 1892.
About 20 per cent of this has gone to
the republican ticket and stay -at-homes
are responsible for the other half.
The vote Of the populists and prohibi.
tionists throughout the state shows q
loss from 1892 Of about &c per cent.

COrnecticut in Line.

New HAVEN, Conn.,, Sept. 15.-One oil
the greatest surprises on the eve of the
state democratic convention was the an.
nouncement made tonight that the dem.
ocratic central committee, which up 10
date has been composed of a majority of
gold standard men, had unconditionally
resigned in favor of the Bryan wing OF
the state democracy. The committee
met in the afternoon to arrange the pre-
liminary program. The warm contest
anticipated in the selection of temporary
chairman did not develop, as William
Kennedy Of Naugatuck, who voted for
silver at tho national convention, was
chosen unanimously. Chairman Davis
and Secretary Brown then resigned.
The names Of the committeeman who
also resigned will be announced by the
chairman tomorrow. The designations
were all voluntary.
Hon. Carlos French, the Connecticut
national democratic committeeman, sent
to the national headquarters today his
resignation. The action of the state
committee is considered great victory
for the silver men, but the leaders of the
latter were determined that unless a
temporary chairman was selected that
was acceptable they would elect one
themselves. The gold standard men
will make no fight at the convention.

Kentucky Hospitality,

LEXINGTON, KY, Sept. 15.-Kentucky
hospitality and southern enthusiasm
were showered upon William Jennings
Bryan today on his trip to the Blue
Grass region. The greatest reception
rendered him in the south was at
Lexington, where he addressed from
$4,000 to 10000 people at the fair
grounds. The procession, unique in it's
character, and impressive to large de.
gree, passed before him as he was on the
speakers stand. The farmers Of the sur
rounding counties got into Lexington
early this morning and came in the typ
lcal southern way, travelling the entire
distance on horses. While Bryan was
addressing the audiences, the horsemen
were seen entering the gates of the fair
grounds, riding in double file and carry
ing appropriate democratic campaign
banners. 1t took 25 minutes for the
procession to file past the nominee and
every one of these tried to outdo his
neighbor in yelling and cheering.
Bryan spoke to the farmers and il was
a speech intended for the farmers. He
told the farmers that those who applied
the name anarchist to the bone and
muscle of this country we're doing more
to overthrow our government than any
anarchist who ever carried red flag,
and this statement created the greatest

BUFFALO, Sept 15.-It looks more like
a state convention tonight, and the ar
rival of the Tammany delegation has
done more to bring into view old conven-
ton faces than anything that has hap
pened. During the afternoon, there was
every evidence of friction that would
make the democratic state convention at
least interesting, but as the evening
wore on and the Tammany delegation
arrived in town, every controversy that
had arisen was smoothed over, and it
became more than ever evident that the
convention was to be dominated by the
great political organization from New
York. From the time that Hinckley ar
rived this morning and announced that
the selections OF Elliott Danforth, the
New York member of the Bryan and
Sewall notification committee, for state
chairman and Frank s. Campbell for ma
tionRl committeeman were satisfactory to
Hill, until late tonight when this news
was confirmed there has been conflict
among the assembled delegates and a
Hood OF gossip that led up to the belief
there would be serious friction. 1t ends
tonight by the withdrawal of Mayor
Molloy from the contest for state COM
mittee chairman and the Endorsement of
Campbell for the Office Of national COM
mitteeman, an ending that to everybody's
mind signified compromise with Sena-
tor Hill in order to keep together the
state organization, and the withdrawal
OF Senator Murphy's candidate in the
interest of harmony. It also leads the
skeptical to alege that the newspaper
differences between Senators Hill and
Murphy we're concocted for purpose,
and that the whole affair Of Senator
Hills staying away and the organization
finally bowing to him in the matter of
the selection of state officials, was for
the purpose of deceiving the rank and
file into the belief that there was diff
ference OF opinion as to the whole con-
duct of the convention.
The ticket therefore, as it stands
selected tonight. is as follows: Gov
ernor, John Boyd Thacher of Albany;
lieutenant governor, Gen. Isaac Catlin
Of Brooklyn; chairman of the state
committee, vice Major j. w. Hinkley,
retired, former state treasurer, Elliott
Danforth national committeeman, Frank
Campbell of Bath; temporary chairman,
Thomas F.. Grady of New York;
permanent chairman, B. Ii. Rockwell Of
Chemung.
The platform will indorse the Chicago
national ticket and platform, will ar
raign the republican legislature as the
most extravagant in the history of the
state, will say that the Raines liquor
law was merely for the creation of a
vast republican machine and to assist in
reducing, at the expense of a class, the
tax rate for the state, which would 9TH
erwise have been the largest in the his
tory OF the state. Among other things,
it will advocate the adoption of stringent
laws regarding trusts.
