NEW YORK STATE POLITICS.
National Issues Not to De Forced In
to the Local Campaigns.

Albany, N. Y, June 6.--The democratic
party will not force national issues into
the various local campaigns and elections
in this state this fall, and. while not re-
pudiating the Chicago platform, 1t will
not be brought forward as an issue para
mount to anything else.
This is the statement of National COM
mitteeman Campbell OF Bath. Mr.. Camp
bell was in this city tonight, fresh from
a conference with party leaders, and said:
THE policy of the democratic party of the
nation. as laid down in the platform of
the Chicago convention of 1896 cannot be
disturbed until the next democratic ma
tonal convention, which will be in 1900. 1t
will make no difference whether state, city
or county convention indorses it or repu-
dates it. 1t will stand unaltered. In the
election last fall the regular organization
of the state of New York was loyal and
true to the nominees and platform of the
Chicago convention. The same organiza-
ton heartily supported MIR. Cleveland four
years ago as the democratic candidate for
President, although their delegates were
opposed to him in the national convention.
Il believe in home rule. If the demo-
Gratis of the city of New York, Buffalo or
Rochester deem 1t eXpedient and wise for
party success to conduct their local cleo
tions without injecting into them state or
national issues, l believe they have a per-
1ect right to do So without interference
of any state or national committee.
Democrats living in the state outside
of the city are looking anxlously for the
election of democratic mayor for Great
er New York. If this could be accom-
plished it would encourage the rank and
file of the party and enable the organza-
ton to get into fighting shape for the i'm
portant state election that is to take
place year from this fall, when gov
ernor, state officers and legislators are to
be elected.
IF we carry Greater New York and
elect these officers next year, then the
party will be in shape to have a fair
chance of placing New York state in the
democratic column In 1900. AS the repre-
sentative of the regular organization, the
national committee, / can state that so
far as l know the national committee has
no desire to interfere in New York state
in its local elections this fall, or to die
tate to the democracy of New York
what their issues should be in these cleo
tiOns"

MRS. GAUMEn ISSUES A CARD.
Says Men Never Died in "a HOIieT
Cause Than the Lynchers.

Urbana. o.. June 6.-The most striking
feature in the train of Thursdays dark
tragedy Is a card from the victim of the
lynched negro.
Mrs. T. M. Gaumer's card was given
to the press to-day. 1t contains the fol-
lowing touching and startling passages:
with a sorely chastened hand and mind
desire to take this means OF showing to
our friends our heartfelt appreciation of
the many kindly words shown us during
the fiery trial of our recent afflictions.
mot only are we thankful for the per-
sonal calls of sympathy at our door, for
flowers and cards from our neighbors, but
for sympathetic messages from distance.
Almost beyond the ocean have come to us
loving words of sympathy.
God bless our noble men and women Of
Urbana, who have held up my hands that
l may once more take up the cares and
burdens of life.
May our loving Heavenly Father help
us to lay off the shackles of formality and
meet those kindred spirits who have so
grandy come to us in our hour of bitter
trial that we may go forth in the field that
is white. to harvest for good; that we may
walk more humbly, more submissively
that the strifes we have borne may remind
us evermore of Him who, while on earth,
knew nothing else but sorrow and atiiic-
ton.
"God bless our noble men and women OF
this Christian land of ours, our governor
our adjutant general, our mayor and our
city and county officials and citizens OF
every walk in life, who not only 80 nobly
gave sympathy, but faced bayonets that
the foulest stain upon our city's most sa-
cred page might be blotted out, that Their
homes, their loved ones may be shielded
from such fate as that of the fair name
that throughout life must feel even a
deeper sorrow than that Of the parting OF
loved ones.
Never did soldiers die on any battle
lFheld for a more holy and righteous cause
than did these brave boys for the purity
of their homes. for mothers, daughters
and sisters. They should be looked upon
as heroes, willing to spill their blood fol
the holiest of ali and any cause"
The funeral procession of Farmer Uptor
Baker passed through here to-day on its
way to the burial place, at Point Pleasant
in Clark county. il was an immense pro.
cession. People on the streets took of
their hats and stood with barred heads as
it passed. All the expenses are borne by
the citizens of Urbana. The ceremonies
at the home and at the grave were briel
and simple.
Upton Baker and Harry Bell wer'
standing side by side near the jail whet
they were killed last Thursday night.

who had referred to some of his colleagues
as police spies. was one of unwonted scan
dal and violence.
IN. Brisson, after business was resum-
ed, declined to hear Jaures, who interpret
lated the government on what he called
an attempt to muzzle deputy basing his
refusal on the ground that no notice Of
Interpolation had been given.
"A furious uproar followed. NJ. Brisson
was pale with anger, but kept himself
well under control.
Never in the bitterest invective employ
ed against an opportunist minister by dem
agogues of the extreme left, was there
greater violence than in the language of
which M. Brisson, who owes his seat large
ly to the socialist vote, was the unjust OBJ
ject
''Bas Brisson, CannaiHe de Brisson
Mort a Brisson, miserable reactionary
you will never be President; traitor, that
you are. Old rascal, resign, resign"
These are fair samples of the epithets
which the entire socialist party, standing
on the floor of the chamber, hurled at the
president. while he, unable to maintain
order, brought the sitting to an abrupt
close Never has maddened minority
eXerted more tyrannical power to humil-
late representative body. 1t is this ele-
ment of humiliation that made the scene
so unutterably painful and suggestive"

London, June 1.-THE correspondent of
the Standard at Constantinople says
Acting upon the advice of Izzet Bey, the

CRICKETERS AT OXFORD,
The British Players a Little Afraid

Oxford, June 6.-The Philadelphia crick-

one met them. They spent the afternoon
quietly.
There does not seem to be much inter.
est in the meeting among the townspeo-
pie, who have been relied upon to fur
nish a good gate.
The prospects are for fast wickets to-
morrow, although Biddle and one of two
other members have not yet fully recov.
cred from the effect of the voyage. The
men are quite confident that they will give
a good account of themselves. The OK
ford team while very much improved
since the opening of the season, evidently
stands in some awe of the Philadelphians,
because of their achievements over The
Australians last year.
