The Hon. James @. Truman Of B~inRhamton,
Chairman Of the Executive Committee OF tho
Democratic State Committee, made . doclara-
ton yesterday which will DO read with interest
by Democrats all over the country. Col. Tru-
man has been Chairman of tho Executive Com-
mittoe for two years. Ho started in last year
when Wilbur #. Porter Of WATERFOWL was the
candidate for Governor and William Jennings
Bryan Of Nebraska was the Democratic candi-
date for President.
Col. Truman has declared many times that he
believes in tho Chicago Democratic National
Convention platform Of 1895. So when he read
that ex.Assemblyman John B. Stanchhold of
Elmira was a candidate for Governor next year
and that ex-senator David B. Hill was one OF
Mr.. Stanchfeld's chief supporters, Col. Truma
came out flatly in behalf Of Elliot Danforth OF
ChenanRo. Chairman Of tho Democratic State
Committee. Col. Truman said:
mo man can get the Democratic nomination
whose record Is not clear 80 far as the campaign
Of 1895 was concerned. The fact that Justice
Alton b. Parker and Justice Van Wyok were
elected Chief Judge Of the Court OF Appeals and
Mayor Of Greater Now York respectively by
$500 80 $50 ebS teeS
not afraid of Organism.
Both Justice Parker and Justice Van WICK
were Bryan supporters. They did not abandon
their party last year. The nominee for Governor
OF the next Democratic State Convention must
be straight on the Chicago platform. Such .
nominee can be elected by q large majority"
Col. Truman. while he did not say Q word
against Mr.. Stanch6eld. timated that Mr..
stanchfeld adopted q shilly.shally course in the
a Ann "a NJ 49,
field was opposed to the Chicago platform. and
later on he was not opposed to it; but most of the
time he was on the fence. Col. Truman did not
like the course Of Mr.. Stsnchtield. Mr.. Danforth,
on the other hand, was a Bryan man from top to
toe. When Bryan visited New York he and Mr..
D~anforth were on the closest terms Of intimacy.
When MI. Bryan entered tho enemy's coun-
s Myyi and opened d his as, campaign I for Pre' nien',i in

Truman insisted. in view OF all these facts. that
Mr.. Dantorth is the logical candidate OF the

Tammany Democrats: Richard Croker is quoted
as saying that he believes Mr.. Parker. who has
Appeals. should be the candidate of the New
York Democrats for President in the Democratic
National Convention. of 1900. When oil this
scheming Is reported IL is Q. little funny to re.

ing on national affairs.
Senator Jacob A. Cantor, Democratic leader
in the State Senate, announced yesterday after
noon that a conference OF tho Democratic Sen
ators and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS would be held in
New York city within q week or so to map out q
policy for the coming legislative session at Al

Democrats would be invited to be present at tho
session. The conference will decide, among

Senator Cantor said that there were four can
didates for this honor. as follows: Joseph /.
Green. Daniel E.. Finn. and Thomas +. Donnelly
schoharie. A CO plimentary vote for Speaker
OF the minority carries with 1t the leadership Of
the minority in the lower house at Albany.
Ex-senator Hill and his friends favor the Sc
lection Of Palmer. The Tammany men are in
nation. a most excellent record at Albany in
the last two years. The fact. though. that Sena-
tor Cantor. tho Democratic leader OF the
minority in tho upper house at Albany;
Croker purposes to hold such a %confor-
ence in New York city is an indication,
