In Fritz Kitzer's saloon In Sixth street near
East Jersey, a crowd Of Germans were pouring
out another brand Of patriotism in song. Tho
gang Of Irishmen advanced. They were met
at the door by Rudolph Kruger. Kruger ad-
vised them good-naIuredl to 60 away and not
make any trouble. They advised Kruger, not
at all good.naturedly, to go to Hades, and say
that all the other Dutchmen were coming.
Then they dragged him out, and when he came
to he was in a vacant lot with more bruises
than clothing on him. His friends inside kept
right on singing, ignorant that there was any
trouble in the wind until several rocks crashed
through the windows. Then they sailed forth
to battle. Thc enemy greeted them with a joy
Gus shout. The JOY was all a mistake. In two
minutes the earth was being denied by the i'm

treated they came to a picket fence, and that
turned the tide OF battle, FOR they swiftly con-

Convention which began It's work in this city
to-day with an attendance Of more than 800
accredited delegates representing 80 counties,
IL the largest ever held by the party In this

the feminine relatives OF delegates All tho
delegates wear blue badges.
Prof. A. II. Hopkins OF Rochester, Formerly
President OF the American Temperance Univer-
city OF Hartman. Tenn, was made temporary
Chairman. In his speech OF nearly two hours
duration he characterized "McKinleyism and
Hannnism " as q party swindle on the country
at large. He said that had Bryan been elected
there would have been a revolution, ana had
lowering been elected there would have been a
beer war, backed by millions OF dollars. he
said the chief robbers had now become the CHIEF
rulers. He denounced the Raines law, denying
the right OF tho majority to legalize immortality.

The Rcv. w. 7: F. Ferguson of Oneida county,
was not at all pleased with the demonstration in
favor OF Prof. Hopkins, ana would not play, when
nominated after Prof, Hopkins,s refusal. so tho
honor fell to j. ii. Walker OF Kings county.
The trouble in securing a permanent Chairman
took up so much time that, after the Committee
on Resolutions and State Committee had been
named. the adoption of a platform was deferred
until tomorrow morning.

A state Ticket TO ne Named ana . Candidate
for senator nndorscd.

COLUMBUS. o., Sept. 1.-The convention OF gold
Democratic to be held here Thursday, 1t is now
said, will not only put in the field an independ-
ent State ticket, but will indorso a candidate OF
the sound.money Democratic party for tho
United States Senate. The Endorsement OF a
candidate for Senator was not expected until
to-day, when a statement to this effect was
made by T. p. Linn, the Ohio member Of tho
National Democratic Committee. The pur-
pose OF this action is to emphasize tho
genuiness of the gold Democratic movement in
Ohio, and to convince the public that the
party is acting in Independence Of Republicans
and the tree.silver Democracy. Joseph IL. Outh.
waite. x.Congrcssman from this district, and
who presided at the indianapolis Convention
last year, will probably receive the Senatorial
Endorsement. It is the intention, however, to
nominate legislative tickets only in counties
and districts where the sonnd.moncy Demo-
Gratis have considerable strength; In other
words, in the larger cities Of the State.
The indications are that the convention Will
be largely attended. Former Secretary OF the
Treasury John G.. Carlisle sends word that he
will not be able to be here, but a letter from him
will be read before tho convention. w. ID. By.
num-, Chairman Of the sound-money National
Democratic Committee, will deliver an address.

Omcinl Terms to He Tested.

nhO aoEoA ~ "o
The Democratic County Committee of Kings
county met last night at tho Thomas Jefferson
building in Brooklyn and adopted he report of
the Executive Committee fixing these dates for
the primaries and conventions: Primaries. Sept.
20; Assembly Convention, Sept. 81; County
Convention, Oct. 2; Council conventions, Oct. 4;
Assembly and Aldermanic conventions, Oct. 5.
Accompanying the report Of the Executive
Committee there were instructions to include In
tho list of nominations to be made by the County
Convention candidates for District Attorney
and the two Coroncrs. This was u genuine sur
orise to most Of the delegates, as the terms of the
present District Attorney and Coroners, which
would have terminated at the close OF the pres
emit year, were extended another year by the
last Legislature. Chairman York Of the Ex-
~ecutive Committee, In explanation of the action
taken. said that he had consulted with eminent
counsel, and had been advised that the action
Of the Legislature in extending the terms Of
District Attorney Backus and Coroners Coombs
and Mason was unconstitutional and void. Mr..
York said that he had already advised with Mr..
Backus, 80 as to have the question submitted to
judicial review at as early a day as possible.
The Democrats are exceedingly anxious to
have these additional offices up for competition
this, year, believing that they are going to have:a
walkover owing to the bitter feud which Jacob
Worth has provoked in the Republi can ranks.
