ppeals-Spenoer Clinton of Buffalo.
On Wednesday evening the Academy OF
Music here was crowded with people anx
ious to see and hear Mr.. Bryan expound
the tenets OF free silver. Last night the
same hall was filled with a large gather
Ing but this time they were Democrats
of the state who were for upholding the
present system OF coinage. There were
such people as Daniel G. Griffin of Water
town, former chairman of the Democratic
state committee; Eugene Chamberlain
inspector of customs; Roswell p Flower,
ex-governor of New York; William A.
Pouoher Of Oswego William A. Beach OF
Ontario. Charles s. Fairchild Of New
York, X. NJ Shepard of Kings Charles
Tracey of Albany and many other old war
horses of the party known as the regular
Democratic party.
The reasors for the gathering are not
new These same men had met before in
Syracuse had renounced the Democratic
national ticket, had adopted a platform
declaring for the present standard of coin
age and had come here merely for the
purpose of nominating a state ticket. The
audience was not large, but was of a bet

attend these conventions The delegates
filled the body of the hall, which was
prettlly decorated with the national colors
while the platform was occupied by many
distinguished persons both from Brooklyn
and from the state at large
The standard of men in the convention
can be guaged by the committee appointed

mann, John Dewitt Warner, John r.
Hennessy, Charles Jerome Edwards,
Franklin d. Locke, Calvin Tomkins, J.
Herbert Watson, Charles Roe, James
Byrne, John Fennell and John e. Null

A Significant Fact.
Perhaps one of the most significant ao
tions of the convention was that of demon
strating by resolutions that they did not
intend at this time to take any independ-
ent action relating to the election OF as
semblymen in any assembly district. IL
is believed that this is part of an arrange
ment entered into with the regular organi-
zation, for by resolution the party will
nominate congressman and judicial oifi-
GERS. The various resolutions in this re-
gard as adopted read as follows;
1t was 1895 o'clock before the oonyen-
tion hall began to I'LL up, and it was no
ticable that TIE boxes and the auditorium
contained a very fair proportion Of hand
somely dressed women. There was emily
ening music bya band, and an unusual fea-
ture of this years conventions was the dis
play Of President Cleveland's picture and
generous applause when his name was
mentioned. The Kings county delegates
came In body with a huge gOldonrod
banner Mayor Patrick Gleason Of Long
Island City received the first applause
when. with his battleax oonspiouously dis
played on his coat he walked down the
aisle. The Albany delegation was ap-
plauded when It came in. 1t had in 1t a
son of United States Supreme Court
Judge Peckham.
1t as s:24 when Charles S Fairchild, as
chairman. of the convention, took his seat,
and, after The Star Spangled Banner
had been played by the band, he called the
convention to order Mr.. Fairchild read
a telegram from Atlanta from Jefferson
Randolph Anderson, chairman of the
Georgia gold standard convention, extend
ing sympathy and regards.
The roll of delegates was then called an0
substitutions made for absentees. Mayor
Bishop of Buffalo received applause, anC
Daniel G. Griffin, Edward NJ. Shepard
Horatio G. King, Charles j. Patterson, r
w. Hinrichs, Francis NJ. Scott, Charles
S. Fairohild. william b. Hornblower, f.
Grier Monroe, Maurice J. Power Johr
Dewitt Warner r. Ellery Anderson, Pat
rick Gleason, Daniel Magone, J. J. Lin
son all received applause when theii
names were called.
