THE DEMOCRATS
 OF NEW JERSEY EIvin w. Crane Nominated for Governor Yesterday.
WAR PLANK OF PLATFORM
Denounces the Gross and Criminal In competency Exhibited by Alger and
 His sAssociates-Platf Formu- lated at Chicago Supported.

Trenton, N Y, September 2S.-The demo- cratic state convention today nominated for governor of New Jersey, Elvin w. Crane the prosecutor of Essex county, and adopted platform which, in measure, supports the democratic national platform. The convention, however without debate defeated a proposition to specifically en- dorse the platform adopted by the Chicago convention of 1S96 This for a few moments caused considerable turmoil, but the band struck up lively tune and finally the sil- yer men accepted the situation gracefully. Later, when MT. Crane had been nomi- mated, Senator Gray and Clarence Atkin- son, both of whom were special favorites of the silver men and were candidates for the nomination, mounted the platform and promised to do all they could for MT. Crane's election.
 The war plank of the platform is as fol- lows: we declare that the thanks of the people of the state and nation are due to the soldiers and sailors of the army and navy of the United States who have inn perlled their lives in defense of their coun- try and in vindicaton of the honor of it's flag in the recent war; that the nation owes to them permanent recognition of their pa triotism and their yalor, and ample and permanent provision for those of their sur vivors who have received sabling and honorable wounds in the serv.ce of their country, and the memories of those who have fallen in it's defense shall be held in grateful and everlasting remembrance and the state should make suitable provisions for additional pay to our New Jersey vol unteers. While we rejoice and feel thank ful to them for their great victories on land and sea, we denounce the gross, open, criminal incompetency of those placed and kept in charge of the war department of the present administration of the govern ment of the United States, resulting in the loss of thousands of American soldiers lives and the infiction of horrible suffer- ings and tortures upon thousands of the brave defenders of the countrys honor; and we charge the present administration of the government of the United States with being solely responsible for horrible results of ths incompetency of govern ment officials, continued even after the ap- palling results were repeatedly brought to the attention of the president of the United States and his official advisers and we call the attention of the people of the state to the fact that up to this time not single example has been made of a government official responsible for these monstrous wrongs.
 '"We deplore the spectacle of an ex-gov- ernor of this state, now member of that cabinet appearing at a public convention of lhss party as the defender of Algerism and its results"

 of the United States. The court suggested that this made little difference and the case citizenship.
 Attorney Pleasants asked permission to prove that the deceased was citizen of the United States, and placed a brother of Thompson on the stand. He testified that his deceased brother was born in Coosa about seven miles from Rockford. and was 47 years old at the time of his death The witness thought his age was about 37 years. Attorney Cowart did not think the witness testimony amounted to anything as he was not pi esent at his brothers birth. The court said suci a question would not be consideie and Attorney Cowart then charged that th deceased Thompson had been convicted in the United Sates court and had served a sentence in the prison, thus losing his citizenship. Records were IT s.ted and it was shown tn tt 7 r., mps } T had been convicted in the court on the 31st of March, 1S93 and been given sentence of eighteen months imprisonment and a fine of $1OO and costs.
 Therefore, you think it was no offense to kill him?' said the court "Such a ques- tion is almost an absurdity."
 MT. Cowart then proceeded with his speech, taking the governments witnesses one by one, and sitting their testimony. He concluded at 6:30 and the court took an adjournment until 10 o clock this morning.

 Tried to Follow Him But a-s'' Was Prevented.
 
KID" CAME OFF WINNER

New York, September 2S--The pugilist Kid" Mccoy and James J. Corbett, whose match has been broken off, met in the Gilsey house lobby this afternoon, when Mccoy knocked Corbett's hat off and then while Corbett was held by his friends kick ed Corbett in the groin. He then ran out of a side door away from the crowd. Cor bett was taken to his room and a doctor summoned
 Corbett, his manager George Considine and Al Smith, ate lunch together in the Gilsey house cafe, finishing about l o'clock. They then walked out through the lobby and in the Broadway entrance met David Nugent of the Hawthorne Athletic club who joined them. In one side of the en- trance were Mccoy, William Gray, of the Hawthorne Athletic club and six other men. They were talking egcitedly. Consci- dine saluted Gray, and Corbett walked up to do likewise. Gray after acknowleag- ing the salute, said to Corbett
 "I don't think you want to fight"
 "What's that?" inquired Corbett
 Gray repeated the remark and Corb tt loudly said that he was ready to fight Me- Coy anywhere and at any time
 "I'll fight him now and right here on the street." said Corbett.
 Mccoy, who had been listening. stepped up to Corbett as the later spoke, and knocked off his hat. Several of Corbett's friends wishing no disturbance, held him and just as they seized him by the arms and shoulders Mccoy delivered a kick at Corbett which struck him in the groin. Corbett leaned over in pain unable to try to get at Mccoy, who, as soon as he had kicked Corbett, ran back to the side en- trance of the hotel. Corbatt tried to fol- low but he could not do so, and was per- suaded to go to his room. A doctor was immediately summoned.
 large crowd collected at the first ru- nor that the prize-fighters were in the ho- tel together and by the time the report that they had got into a fight had been spread, which was in a few minutes the hotel was beseiged. The crowd was in state of excitement about the alleged fight but neither of the pugilsts was seen by the people. Mccoy disappeared early.

CHAPLAIN M'INTYRE.
Courtmartial of the Palliative Parson
 Resumed Yesterday.

Denver, Colo, September 2S.-The court martrial trial of Chaplain Joseph P. McIn- tyre of the battleship Oregon was resumed today MT. Charles H. Sage, a real estate agent, who heard MT. McIntyre's lecture on August 8, testified that the report of the lecture, which appeared in the Rocky Mountain News, extracts from which are used in the specifications to support the charges against the accused, was substan- tially correct. He said the chaplain spoke sneeringly of Captain Evans a number of times as Fighting Bob"
 Harry s. Babcock of Denver testified that Chaplain Mcintyre stated that when the Cristobal Colon surrendered the American vessels, aside from the Oregon, were hull down" behind, which, he explained, meant at least eight miles away, and that Admiral Sampson reported himself within four miles of the place at the time, and would thus re- ceive $10,000 of prize money.
 He verified the testimony of other wit nesses in regard to the contemptuous ref erence to Captain Evans by the chaplain.
 s. w. Dewitt of Washington, D. C., assist ant attorney-general of the United States, testified that Chaplain Mcintyre said the New York and other vessels were invisible to. the eastward when the Cristobal Colon surrendered, and yet Admiral Sampson re- ported himself within the four mile limit dHu WOulu receive d part OI lne pTlZe mOn- ey. He testified that the chaplain said that Fighting Bob," with the Iowa, was run- ming away from the fight when the Oregon was going into it. He also told of other all lusions made to Captain Evans as Fight ing Bob" and he said the speakers man. ner was mot agreeable when making such allusions. He testified that the chaplain said eastern shipbuilders had pulls with the government, and many jobs' were notice able in the construction of the eastern- built vessels, while the Oregon was honest ly built.
 At the afternoon session, MT. Dewitt was cross-examined briefly
 Alfred T. Bacon, broker, Rev. F. M Baylie, pastor of Plymouth congregational church and Hon. J. Blocker, ex-mayor of the city of Denver, testified during the af- ternoon session and all fully coroborated the testimony of witnesses who had pre- viously testified, the substance of their evidence being that Chaplain Mcintyre charged Sampson with reporting himself within four miles of the Spanish ship Co., lon, when she surrendered, when in reality he was at least eight miles away; that he charged Captain Evans, of the Iowa, with running away from the fight referring to him contemptuously as '"Fighting Bob," and that he charged that eastern ship builders obtained contracts from the gov ernment by means of political pull and that the Oregon was the only ship that was honestly built.
 After these witnesses had testified Judge Advocate Lawler gave out that the prose- oution would rest its case until tomorrow morning. Adjourned.

Racing at Louisville

Louisville, September 2S.-Two unfinished races from yesterday and the three addi- tional made up the card for the Driving and Fair associations third day. The first heat trotted decided the Douglas stake. John Nolan had two heats from yesterday, and was a strong favorite. He won the heat and the race in a close finish with Matte Patterson and Caracala.
 The chief event today was the Seebach, for 2:1S pacers, and the first heat saw a worlds record lowered Klatawa won in 2:O51b reducing his own mark of 2:06A for 3-year-old pacers He was not in the race afterward, however, the record-breaking effort seeming to wear him out Miss Lo- gan and Lady of the Manor fought for the next heats, Miss Logan winning all of them and the race in close finishes

 Woodford c was withdrawn from the 2:16 trot unfinished yesterday on account of sickness. Espey Boy, with two heats, opened as the favorite, but Geers handled Tudor Chimes skillfully, and the Village Farm won by half lengths from the favor- ite.

HAVE ALREADY WON
Secretary Kerr Says the Democrats Will
 Control Next House.

Washington, Septt mber 2S-"The fight is already won," says Secretary Kerr, of the democratic congressional committee, speak ing Of the next house of representatives "I had thought, up to a little while ago, that while the republicans would certainly be in the minority the majority would be composed of all classes of opposition. feel certain now that we will have a com plete democratic majority.
 There is very marked air of confidence at democratic headquarters, owing to the assuring reports which are coming in from all parts of the country. 'hTe smoke which rested over Santiago and Porto Rico and which obscured our political vision, said Chairman Kerr, lis now cieaIiI g away, and we are more than pleased with the conditions which present themselves The republicans are naturally trying to eX- plain away the reduced republican vote in Maine, but the fact still remains that there were twenty reasons why a republican should vote in that state to one why the democrats should go to the polls. The re- publicans had either received favors from the party or were enjoying present benefits to say nothing of prospective ones, while the democrats were in hopeless minority from the start. The local candidates who had any chance of winning were republi- cans, and they could be depended upon to get out all the possible votes. NY Judg- ment is-and it is the only way in which I can account for the democrats holding their own so well-that many republicans voted the democratic ticket in Maine"
 "And you think the conditions favorable to the democrats elsewhere?"'
 "They are very bright. We have only to emphasize in all congressional districts the reasons which we think influenced the voters in Maine, and that is what we are doing It is an interesting fact too that a review of the results of the local election last year shows that if we can only hold our own we will have eighteen majority in the house. I do not think we have lost anything. but, on the contrary, We know of gains in many localities"
