the democratic state convention here
Wednesday and 1T WAS clearly demon
strated that Senator German still has
his hand on the lever that controls the
movements of the organization. The
candidates nominated by the conven-
ton were selected by him, and the reso-
lutions adopted were of his inspiration.
AS chairman of the committee on reso-
lutions, he read the platform, and read
it in such a way as to indicate that he
knew it almost without looking at it.
At his suggestion one of the candidates
for comptroller withdrew when his
nomination seemed assured and another
was tuken up by the convention at his
request, both gold and silver men
waived their convictions for the once
and voted to adopt platform that de-
clares for bimetallisln, but Is silent as
to the vital question of "ratio." The
following state ticket was nominated:
For comptroller, Thomas A. Smith, of

preliminaries drafted by the powers,
which provide for European arbitra-

between the Greek and Turkish pleni-
potentiaries in arranging definite

is understood that the Volo-Larissa
railway will be transferred to the Greek
administration, with the stipulation
that the same facilities shall be granted
to Turkey for the transportation Of
troops as are granted to the Greek gov.

dictate an intention on the part of Tur,
