yesterday, was not taken until the Republicans
refused TO unite with him in the support OF Ger.

He Is said to have been specially disgruntled
because the Republicans would not accept his
candidate for Justice of the Municipal Court in
the Second district of the Bronx.

The Democratic City Convention ReaGlrms the
Chicago Platform.

ALBANY. Oct. 6.-The Democratic City Con-
vention tonight unanimously adopted a resolu-
ton indorsing and reatiirming the Democratic
platform adopted at Chicago in 1896. The
Chairman of the convention was Collector of
Internal Revenue Louis W. Pratt. In putting
the resolution to a vote he said that it was CHI
tircly unnecessary, as the Chicago. platform
stood as the enumerator of Democratic princi-
pies until a new one was promulgated by tho
next Democratic National Convention, and that
it could not be otherwise disposed OF by tho ac-
ton OF any Democratic city or other convention.
The Democratic leaders had intended to throttle
any expression on the Chicago platform. but tho
pressure for its rcatlrmation WAS SO strong that
they realized that the wisest course would be TO
adopt the resolution. "
Thomas }. Van Alstyne was nominated for
Mayor, Daniel Adler for City Court Judge, and
John J. Brady for Police Justice. There was a
strong opposition among the rank and file TO
Van Alstyne's nomination.. but the leaders
damned him through, although OF the 70 votes

The Republicans are confident of the success
Of their, city ticket. which is headed by one OF

Alderman George Stevens will run as an indie
pendent Republican candidate for Mayor. His
candidacy might seriously interfere with Ro-
publican success.

THIS PARTY At AUCTION.
Tho Am using Spectacle Vow Presented by tn
National Democracy.

ttO
The old time politicians are laughing at The
spectacle that has been made Of the National
Democratic party in this campaign. 1t will be
recalled that Francis NJ. Scott, the Corporation
Counsel, cou nted on taking it with him into the
Tammany clmp to support the French ball
ticket, and he was to get a Tammany nomina-
ton for SUPP eme Court Judge. A mighty
howl went up when this programme was
preached. Scott was called a traitor and it
was declared that he could not sell the party
out. The convc ution OF the National Demo-
cratic party was held in Cooper Union last
week. 1t ended in a riot.
The plan to indorse Tammany was not
sprung because it was feared that it could not
be carried through. But it was responsible for
dozens of speeches and declarations that there
would be a bolt IL the promoters of the plan
tempt to carry it out. The New York dele
CATION was almost solid for it, but John De
Witt Warner and other friends Of Charles S.
Fairchild controlled enough votes to make the
Scott men uncertain: Mr.. Warner and the
other friends of Mr.. Fairchild were most con-
sricuous in the convention. holding up their
hands in evident horror at the idea of the Ma
tional Democr attic party being sold out,
the Low machine held its meeting, and Charles
$. Fairchild, the biggest man in the National
Comptroller and Austin G. Fox, who is way up
in the councils Of the party, got the nomination
for District Attorney.

remains to be seen whether Fairchild can de-
make much difference to him personally, for
he has his nomination and they can't take it
away from him.
Tho National Democrats who approve the
business point ont that the bargain with the
Gifts is much better than the bargain proposed
with Tammany. The place Of Comptroller Is
next in Importance to that OF Mayor. and the
office of District Attorney is one of the most
important county offices. They, are also offices

Concerning Seth Low and the Chamber OF
Commerce.

Concerning seth Low and the Chamber OF
Commerce.
Yesterday THE sun told how the Executive
Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, of
which Charles Stewart Smith of the Citizens
Union Is Chairman, had n meeting at the Cham
Der Of on Tuesday and decided not to
take steps which would commit the Chamber OF
to the candidacy OF Seth Low Mt its
annual meeting to-day. Mr.. Smith issued a
typewrittcn denial Of THE SUN story yester-
day and sent it to all the newspapers except THE
Sun.
THE Sun, in its report of what occurred at the
meeting of the Executive Committee. said yes
tcrday that one OF the committee after the meet
ing on Tuesday had said:
There will be no action taken concerning the
candidacy of Mr.. Low. Further than that l
cannot speak"
The foregoing statement is correct in every
particular. Notwithstanding anything that Mr..
smith has said in his typewritten denial of
what occurred at the meeting. THE Sun can go
further and say that one of the members of the
Executive said on Tuesday night:
Alexander L. Orr, although President of the
Chamber OF Commerce, and e~x-oficio a member
of the Executive Committee. although partial
to Mr.. Low, has been for some time opposed to
the political gyrations of MIR. Smith in the
Chamber of Commerce"
The SUN said yesterday that it had been
Rn9%n n, FOR co SryeTa ib aay Cb anal an o ef Enmw mould be PC
Seth Low through the Executive Committee.
That statement is absolutely truthful. THE Sun
said Yesterday that at the meeting OF the EXecu-
tive Committee on Tuesday it was demonstrated
that the committee could not be committed to
Mr.. Low. That statement is also absolutely
truthful. IKE Sun said yesterday:
In view OF this situation. Mr.. Smith did
not finally precipitate II resolution calling on
the EXECUTIVE Committee of the Chamber to in

About 200 men assembled last night in Lang.
lcy's Hall, 146 jackson avenue, Long Island
City, when Police Sergeant White and ten
policemen swooped in and drove the crowd into
the street.
The police said the crowd had gathered for
the purpose of witnessing a prize fight, while
the crowd insisted that they were assembled for
the purpose Of organizing a Tammany associa.
ton in Queens county. Tho proprietor Of tho
hall also charged the police with breaking up a
rying out instructions from Mayor Gleason.
Police Sergeant White denied this, and pro-
duccd a printed. circular which advertised n
prize fight to take place at tho hall between
Harry Fisher of New York and Charles Burns of
Buffalo. The hall proprietor then said that the
circulars had evidently been printed by the
Gleasonitcs for the express purpose OF breaking
UP the Tammany meeting.
Sergeant. White admitted to the newspaper
was to take place was the printed circular.
when we swooped down on the crowd, said
the Sergeant, I've found n fellow reading a list
of names from q book. He said he was tho
secretary OF a political organization. but ] had
to depend upon the information furnished by
the printed circular. So ] drove the crowd out
and stationed my men in the hall to keep them
out"
A man named james Killean, who said he was
presiding over the meeting. sent messengers
around to several Democratic meetings that
were being,held in Long Island City, announcing
that the Gleasonites had broken up n Tammany
meeting.
