elections in this state this fall, and while
Reputation OF the Chicago platform will

National Committeeman Frank Camp
bell, OF Bath. Mr.. Campbell was In the
city tonight, fresh from a conference
with party leaders. and said:
''The policy OF the Democratic party
OF the milton as laid down IN the plat
form OF 1886, cannot be disturbed until
the next Democratic national conven-
tlon, which will be held In 1900. 1t Will
make no difference whether state, city
or county convention indorses II or re-
pudlRtes II, Il will stand unAitered. In
the election last fall, the regular or
Eauization OF the state Of New York
was loyal and true to the nominees and

ported Mr.. Cleveland four years ago as
the Democratic candidate for President,

Gratis OF the city OF New York, BunalO

for party success TO conduct their local
elections without injecting into them

committee.

OF the city of New York are looking

1T we carry Greater New York and
elect these officers next year. then the
party will be In shape with O fair
chance OF placing New York state In
the Democratic column In 1900.
