The Fight Between Them for ST.
premacv RACES Hotly'
THE SILVER ELEMENT BEATEN.
They Threaten TO Bolt and Put Up
Separate Ticket if Not Recog-
nized. Van Wyck. Hcrrick
and Stanchhcld Now the
Names Under Dis
CussiOn.

SYRACUSE. y. Y. Sept 2S.-The cha
otto condition Of the delegations to the
state Democratic Convention at midnight
was accentuated by the action Of the
Committee on Credentials. in confirming
The sitting delegates in the three districts
Of Erie. and seating the contesting dele
gates in the First and Third OF Monroe.
This action n approved. would probably
give control OF the next state Committee
TO ex-senator Hin.
AT midnight it was alleged that Mr..
Croker and Tammany would fight the
adoption of the report on the floor OF the
convention tomorrow. 10 IS also asserted
that the Tammany delegates finding the
upstate sentiment strongly against Van
Wyck have thought of taking up Judge
-. Cady Herrlch OF Albany, as their
candidate. 10 prevent ex-senator Hill
nominating Mr.. Stanchheld. ana 20 COM
bat any idea that Mr.. Iiiu has defeated
Croker.
HILLS CANDIDATE.
At midnight 10 IS generally conceded
that State Chairman Dunford has more
votes than any other candidate. but not
enough 70 nominate. Stanohfeld boom
has grown steadily. All night the lead
ers have been fighting hard and there Is
promise of a heated session tomorrow
unless some understanding Is arrived at.
The fight seems 10 be between delegates
below the Bronx against those above it.
1t Is probable that the convention will
finish by tomorrow night
1t is not possible at midnight. 10 give
any idea wnat names viii probably go on
the ticket. Some newspaper men tonight
said that Mayor Van Wyck was not a
candidate, but there Is no assurance that
he has been Withdrawn permanently.
The only thing decided upon is that there
will not bo any mention either Of the
Chicago national platform or OF silvor.
PLATFORM COMMITTEE.
Long before tho Platform Committee
met. thore were insinuauOns that this
was 80 IN the convention. Delegate J. g..
Pierce. Of Monroe. offered a resolution
endorsing the Chicago platform but was
not allowed 10 speak upon It, and it was
rot read.
stl later I'm the day the silver adher-
ents applied 10 the Committee on Rcsolu-
tions TO put I'm q plank Of Endorsement
but met with refusal
The result or an this was a meeting Of
a number Of the silver men and the selec-
ton OF State ticket. which they claim
they viii put in the field 81 they are not
recognized The proposed ticket IS head

Together with their nowiy-made sllte

YELLOW FEVER SITUATION.
Mississippi Health oniciais Declare
That IL is Grave.

JACKSON. MISS. Sept 2s.-The local
health officials admit that the yellow
fever situation to-day is grave. No new
cases are announced but the physicians
have several suspicious cases under sur
veillance and it IS expected that some
of them will be declared yellow fever
when tho night report is made.
The area Of infection is very large
embracing about sixteen squares and no
less than 1900 negroes are confined within
the cordon. About one hundred and fifty
whites reside I'm the district. Many OF the
negroes are without food and the relief
work will be commenced AT once.
The great number Of exposures and the
wide area Of the infected district renders
the epidemic among the negroes a hard
ore 10 handle and It will require heroic
n,eo sures to prevent the disease from
reaching the upper portions Of the city
The situation In the upper portions Of
the state Is unchanged.
The health officers OF Jefferson county
report that they have examined the sus-
plclous Illness in Darriston and does not
believe It is yellow fever.
