NEW York RKCONVBNTI0NS:
Many Candidates Seeking the Dem
..ocratic Nomination.
R00sEVELT's NOMINATION SURE.

Chauncey M. Depew Positive That
His Candidate Has Almost q Clear
Field For the Republican Nomina.
tion For Governor.
Syracuse, N. Y, Sept. N.-Many Of
the 450 delegates to the Democratic
state convention, which opens tomor-
row, are here. Each candidate for a
place upon the state ticket is well rep
resented.
Among the first upon the ground was
the Erie county delegation, and the
first gubernatorial boom Of Justice
Robert c. Titus was among the earliest
to be launched here. Mayor James
McGuire's friends are naturally numer-
GUS and enthusiastic in his home town.
Judge Titus will not appear person.
ally in the convention, but members
Of the Erie county delegation now
here claim for him the solid delegation
of the Eighth judicial district repre-
senting so votes.
All of the Tammany delegation has
not yet arrived, but there are a sufii-
cient number here to keep the talk Of
AAAS "a al " yNh Suihihu'y
the public. His chances, however, re-
ceived a decided setback last night
when members of the Erie county dele
cation announced that Mr.. Croker had
stated to them that the candidate for
governor would not be named from ter
ritory south of Albany Mr.. Croker
has stated from the beginning that
Tammany Hall had not and would not
have candidate for position on the
state ticket.
The first gubernatorial candidate to
arrive here was Congressman William
Sulzer. The next to arrive was John
=. Stanchfield, of Elmira, who reached
here at 6 o'clock last night. A train
load of Stanchfield boomers arrived
this morning.
Elliott Danforth has not arrived, but
his friends are here in large force, and
his Autographs are conspicuously dis
played about the city.
Speculation as to the probable head
of the ticket obscures all other candi-
dates. No one dares to predict the
nominee for' governor Much depends
upon the vote of the Tammany Hall
and Kings county representatives and
the impression prevails that the vote
from the lower end of the state will
be thrown to the country candidate
who develops the most strength in the
convention.
Friends of Mayor Mcclure assert
positively that he will not accept a
second place en- the ticket. Justice
Titus also saws that he will not ac-
cept second place on the ticket
The Chicago platform Democrats will
hold their conference at the city hall
tonight, and will make a determined
effort to have the convention indorse

platform, and especially as it relates
to the free coinage of silver. 1t is
doubtful however, If the state platform
will come out unequivocally for that
plank

the police were unable to find the

the trousers, and asserted emphatical-
ly that he was not in the Leonard cabin
on Friday night.
Peter Leonard husband of the mur-
dered woman, said yesterday: Il was
awakened about 2 o'clock Saturday
morning by knock at my cabin door,
and when I got out of bed my wife said: :
Don't let any one in; it's too late I
opened the door and Minus Delaney
walked In and at once began to kick
up a fuss. He was half drunk, and
his language was very abusive.
'Then he knocked me down. and
when got up he kicked me and knock

the bed. l don't remember anything
more. When l came to l called my
wife and she answered very feebly,

st. Louis. Sept. q. - The Republic
says: There has been a shrinkage OF
over $4,000, 600 In the value of the COM
mon stock of the American Tobacco
company within the last ten days. The
bulk of this loss has been sustained
since the negotiations for the purchase
of the big Drummond plant In this city
became public. Yesterday the stock
went down to So share from. NE high
point of Saturday, the total drop with
in the last ten days being $14.75 a
share. This decline on the $21, 900 900 of
common stock of the company brings
the loss up to the enormous figures
given In anticipation of a further
drop the bears in the st. Louis market
have been selling the stock short, a
fact which lends to a still further break
down in the market

Derlouiner's home Is at Cincinnati.
Typhoid Is spreading so rapidly in

that the regiment will be sent away as
soon as suitable camping ground Is
found. 1t Is probably that the troops
will be isolated in the Conewago hills,
In the vicinity of Eizabethtown. New

precautions taken to confine the dis
ease to this command. The medical Of
f1cers say the New York soldiers

Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 27.-There is
hardly an impartial observer here who
does not believe that the ticket to be
nominated by the Republican state con-
vention today will be headed by Colo
mel Theodore Roosevelt for governor
and Timothy L. Woodruff for lleuten-
ant governor. Chauncey M. Depew.
who Is to name Roosevelt Is positive
that his candidate has an almost clear
field. 1t was pretty well decided late
last night that Governor Black will not
go into the convention. His friends are
urging him to do so but up to this
time he has stoutly maintained that
it would not be dignified.
The leaders of the party yesterday
put the finishing touches on the plat
form, and that document Is ready to
be reported to the convention this af-
platforms ever adopted by a Republi-
can state convention, comprising not
more than 1000 words. The document
will indorse the administration of Gov
ernor Black and review the proceedings
of the last two sessions of the Republic
can legislature. Beyond that the plat
form will not deal with state issues,
but will chiefly touch questions Of a
national scope, including an unquali-
fed and vigorous Endorsement Of Presi-
dent McKinley's administration. One
Of the most important planks will de-
clare in favor of the retention of the
Philippine Islands, and against the re-
turn to Spain of any conquered lands.
Another plank will recommend the
passage of currency bill which shall
reorganize the government paper

ard. Among the state issues which will
not be mentioned are the bill providing
for biennial sessions of the legislature,
which was passed last winter. but

UNDER THE RED ROBE.


"Under the Red Robe" the greatest
dramatic success in many years from the
Empire Theatre, New York, will be tho
first genuine treat Of the season for our
amusement lovers II will be produced at
Grand Opera House next Monday night
and aslthis will positively DO the only visit
the fact will certainly be taken advantage
of by largo demand for seats. The
dramatization of Under the Red Robe"
is by Edward Rose taken from Stanley
Weyman's popular story of tho time Of
Richelieu and Is in four acts. Tho scene
of the first, is ZaIo on's, III Paris, where Gil
de Berauit Is accused of cheating at cards
and places himself under tho ban OF the
Cardinal by fighting duel. Then and
there he accepts tie mission, the success
full fulflllment Of which is to have his
neck. The incidents Of acts second and
third occur at The Chateau de Cocheforet,
all tho exciting adventures on tho noun
tain at the inn and in the forest being
faithfully portrayed. Bernult Is shown as
the spy in the house he intends to destroy,
and Is uDmasked He succeeds In his
mission in spito Of the Kings soldiers
commanded by fop, Capt. Lrrolle. Clon,
the dumb servant, Is tortured, and re-
venges himself by killing the Captain.
Tho last act shows Berault's renunciation
of the trust. For the sake of the woman
he loves, he gives Cocheforct his liberty.
and at the palace of the Cardinal he re-
ceives his reward. Mr.. William Morris,
the eminent Young romantic actor, is at
the head of a very strong company.
