work Of the Chicago convention and
pledging hearty and honest support OF
Its nominees.
A resolution emenatIng from District
Assembly No. 20. X. OF l.. was similarly
referred. 1t demands the enforcement
of antitrust laws OF this state and the
enactment OF law against the water
ing OF stock. After other resolutions
had been referred and committees
named che convention took q recess until
10 o. m. Tomorrow.
The conditions tonight are rather in
teresting because OF the intenal fights,
which, while good-natured upon their
surface. are not wanting In internal
bitterness. The principal strife tonight
Is to prevent the adoption of the unit
rule, and to prevent thereby the nomi-
nation OF any candidate without a fair
open fight. Particularly are the friends
OF Congressman Sulzer striving to this
end.
1t Is reasonably certain tonight that
the ticket will be: For governor. John
Boyd Thacker, Of Albany; for lieut-gov-
ernor, ex-Mayor Ryan, Of Syracuse: for
Judge OF the court OF appeals, Robert c.
Titus. OF Buffalo: chairman state COM
m!ttee. Elliott F. Danforth; national
committeeman. Frank Campbell.
This slate has not been decided upon
without hourly opposition and this OPP
position is SO bitter that while certainty
OF the ticket is almost established at n
late hour tonight, complications may
arise which will change any name upon
the ticket with the possible exception OF
Judge Titus.
The planning OF the candidacy OF Mr..
Thacher has been In the hands OF man
who Is not numbered among the dele
gates and ttls In itself has caused some
OF the opposition. The man Is Anthony
y. Brady. OF Albany, the president OF
several large corporations and stock
holder In the Chicago Gas Company.
This fact has arrayed the more radical
free silver men against Mr.. Thacher and
they are claiming many pledges.

OF breaking down the system which has
prevailed in the sulphur mining districts
similar to that which once obtained In
some OF our industries making payment
uf wages to miners through store orders.
United States Consul Seymour has
transmitted to the department of state
copies OF a circular addressed by the
civil commissioner for Clclly to all OF
the projects, in which he recitea the fact
that the mine owners, instead OF paying
the workers In money, rs agreed upon,
are accustomed to furnish them with
provisions from their own stores for
which they are charged exorbitant
prices. The practice, he says, Is un-
worthy OF u civilized country and tends
10 nourish discomfort and menace pub

rected to urge the mine owners TO aban-
don this practice and pay the workmen
money, and II this falls, It Is the inten-
tion to enact special laws to compel
