FUSION IN SCHENECTADY.

A silver Democrat Named for Mayor ana =
Gold Democrat for City Treasurer.
SCHENECTADY, Oct. As the result OF q deal
between two factions Of the party in this city
tho Democratic City Convention, held this
evening, was quiet and characterized by marked
Indifference. For some time past the silver ele-
ment has been making q flerce fight for the
nomination for Mayor Of DR.. Charles c. Duryee,
and opposing the denomination of Harry w.
bennington. present City Treasurer. an alleged
gold Democrat, for that office. The two factions
finally patched up q truce by agreeing to sup
port both candidates. John McDermott, Chair
man, in calling the convention to order, said
that he hoped the proceedings would be such as
to give outsiders the impression that the party
was united.
After a fierce discussion over the alleged
swollen representation OF delegations from tho
silver wards, which resulted in full delegations
being seated. resolutions were adopted scoring
tho alleged extravaganza of the present Repub-
lican municipal administration and pledging
the Democratic party to an honest administra-
tion, indorsing the State and county candidates
of the party. and affirming allegiance to the
principles or the Democratic party as enunciated
In It's last platform.
The ticket named was as follows: For Mayor.
DR.. Charles c. Duryee; City Treasurer, ii.
w. bennington; City Judge. Louis NJ. King;
Assessor, Charles Stevenson; Police Commits
eioner, William Hathaway; Game Constable,

Police Have Taken . Census or Cheap Hotels
and Lodging Houses.
The police began, under orders Of Chief Nc
Cullagh, the annual election canvass Of the
lodging houses on Sunday morning. 1mmedi-
ately after midnight squads Of policemen went
down the Bowery, through Park row. and lower
Mulberry street, and sent detachmcnts into
every cheap hotel. lodging house, or boarding
house where the floating population Of the city
is anchored by night. The register Of each house
was examined. and the dodgers, too. In the case
of each one 1t was ascertained how long he had
been a ledger in the place. Any one coming
later will find himself shut out Of the registry
and of the polls, unless he can prove residence
elsewhere in the district on or prior to Oct. 2.
The thirty days term Of residence necessary to
q vote shuts him out II he cannot.
The Chiefs orders were to include every "sus-
pected place of colonization. When the
registry is completed the Captains' reports of
the canvass will be compared at Police Head
quarters with tho registry lists and with the
register of dodgers kept under the supervision
of the Board of Health in all these places be-
tween Sept. l and Nov. Is. BY this means it
will be possible TO defeat any attempt to pack q
house with illegal voters, or, at least. any at
tempt on their part to vote. The Chief gave his
Captains to understand that he would hold
them personally responsible for any discrepan-
cies in their reports exhibited by such a test.
incidentally the police took note OF any evil
dence of legitimate o~vercrow ding, as 1t were.
and sent warning OF it to the Health Depart
ment.

New ROCHELLE, n. Y. Oct. 4.-The Rcpub-
lican Assembly Convention for the Second dis
trict of wcstchester county, which comprises
the towns of Rye, Harrison. New Rochelle, Ma
maroneck, White Plains. Scarsuale, Greenburg,
Pelham. and West Chester and City Island, in
the annexed district. was held at New Rochelle
to-day. The contesting delegates from New Ro.
chelle and White Plains presented their ere.
dentials to the District Committee. composed Of
Jacob Halstead, Chairman; George Lambden
and William f. Slocum. When Mr.. Halstead
called the convention to order he announced that
the committee had decided to follow the rulings
of former conventions and admit the White
Plains delegation, which for the third time had
been protested against because of alleged ir.
Irregularities. and the Ward.Tsobertson delegates
in New Rochelle headed by Charles Earwickcr.
The temporary roll of delegates was then called.
When New Rochelle was reached w. X. Palmer,
who headed the Burns Fairchild delegates, OBJ
jected to tho decision of the committee. He was
declared out of order and hooted down. A com
V. Willard, and e~x-Assemblyman John \. Stew
art. was then appointed BY the Chairman
to tod decide ifSa the .i question dSiaS on the IN f New k 20 iSa f fSn.
wicker delegates. The Palmer delegates then
left the hall and the Ward faction proceeded to
nominated George Ii. Mahrs of Greenburg.
Bradford Rhodes seconded the nomination and
1t was made unanimous.
The success of the Ward-Robertson faction
was 80 pronounced that Ben l.. Fairchild, who
has been leading the opposing forces against
Ward for several years, surrendered. He adj
dressed the convention. praised its candidates,
and expressed the hope that all Republicans
would cast aside personal prejudiccs and rally
to the support OF all the Republican candidates.
He acknowledged the defeat and surrender OF
his faction when he said that they-meaning the
ieaders-had agreed among themselves that the
District Committee should consist OF j. A. Is,
Cowles. Jacob Halstead and George C. Menthes
Congressman Ward and his followers were as
tonished by Fairchild's surrender. Whether
Senator Burns and the other leaders will follow
Fairchild Is only conjecture. Congressman
Ward now has control Of the Republican organ
ization in Westminster county.

His Private once.
WASHINGTON. Oct. THE patient mon and
women who have been calling daily at the
White House in tho hope of seeing President
Mckinley were surprised to-day by an invita-
ton to walk into his private office. Most Of
them had rehearsed speeches for the occasion,
but when tho opportunity came they were too
utterly overcome to say moro than a few words
In EXPLANATION of their presence. OF course, all
of them wanted something. Very few were not
oficeseekers. To each importunate the Presi-
dent listened eravely, but did not commit him
self. The crowd thus received consisted OF those
who did not have Senators and Representatives
to speak for them or to introduce them to Mr..
Mckinley. .
Very few callers except Cabinet officers and
congressman have been able to get the ear Of
the President since his return to Washington:
To-day the official visitors were not many and
they had transacted their business by noon.
That is why, the unindorsed CONTINGENT sue
Secretary Porter will be back in Washington
tomorrow. and the rule permitting free inter
course with the President, which was given in
the earlier months of the Administration. will
probably be rescinded for the good OF the Presi-
dents health.

Effort to Name an Independent for Justice ~
Petition In Order to Help Burr.
The politicians who made Joseph A. Burr q
candidate for Supreme Court Justice in Brook
Ign fear that he will be defeated overwhelm-
ingly by Justice Willard Bartlett. The mere
announcement that Justice Bartlett had been
renominated was sufficient to attract to his sup
port thousands of Independent Democrats and
regular Republicans.
The Burr men have rcsorted to q small dodge.
hoping thereby to elect Mr.. Burr. Yesterday
they circulated petitions favoring the nomina-
ton of Ezra Tuttle, an independent Democrat of
tho Jimmy O'Brien organization. They were
active in soliciting signatures. Their purpose
Is to secure names enough to entitle Mr.. futile
to n place on tho official ballot. Copies of
the petition were circulated In tho Coroners'
office. Men having business there were re-
Quested to sign the petition. A clerk who had
charge OF the petition said:
you needn't vote for futile. We are just
putting him up TO induce independent Demo-
Gratis TO vote for him instead of Justice Bartlett.
That will help to elect Burr. That's our plan"
Copies OF the petition were circulated in all
the public buildings where Worth influences
are dominant. The names of a number of men
employed in offices controlled by Worth and his
licutenantsa are attached to the petitions.

The official ballot this year will contain party

less than 10000 votes last fall. The Peoples
party has not filed any nomination for Judge Of
the Court Of Appeals, az has been usual with
them. and they will not be represented on tho

are required before such a nomination can be
