AIgerism in Politics.

From the Chicago Democrat)
Under the pretense of asking a vote of con-
fdence in the army and navy, President Mckin-
ley and the other stump speakers of the Repub-
lican party are asking vote of confidence in
Alger and the incompetent sons of rich fathers
who starved the soldiers in camp and field.
Never was there more shameless misrepresen-
tation made than that of Republican orators and
newspapers which say the Democrats are engaged
in criticising the soldiers of the United States.
They are anxious to have the bungling. criminal
incompetents of the War Department brought TO
book, but they have unstnted praise and graft
tude for the army and navy.

Papal Interest
NEW YORK, Sept. ga dispatch to
the Herald from Madrid says:
The papal nuncio had a conference with
the minister Of the colonies. at which the
former urged the desires Of the vatican
that in the Spanish territories which had
become American the goods of the
church be guarded and the position Of the
church defined. The minister said he
would specially refer the matter to the
Paris commission, whose members would
be instructed to do all that was possible.
Not in Danger
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Dr. Rocker.
secretary to the papal delegate, has made
several calls at the White House and the
state department recently and this has
led to the conjecture that the calls have
reference to the security of church prop
erty and protection of ecclesiastics in the
Spanish possessions recently coming under
American control. The papal nuncio at
Madrid Is reported to have expressed grave
fears to the minister of foreign affairs dur
ing an audience yesterday for the security
of church property in Cuba and the Phil
ippines, and the vaticans desire was made
known that the commissions at Havana
and Paris make definite arrangements as
to the future of this property. It Is
stated, however. at the delegation here that
the vatican has given no Instructions thus
| far on the ques ton of security to, the
church property, and that there has been
no occasion for any negotiations.
| DR.. Rocker says not the slightest fear
has been shown as to the adequacy of pro-
lection given to persons and property both
in the church and out. There has been
| no step, therefore, to bring the matter be-
fore the American commissioners at Ha-
vana or the peace commissioners at Paris,
SO lar as the papal authorities are advised.
The calls at the White House and state
department are said to have been Of un-
| important personal character. entirely un-
| related to Spanish affairs.

Morning Conferences

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Sept. 29.-Before
many delegates to the Democratic State
Convention had arisen this morning, the
leaders were about the corridors. At $3.50
o'clock 1t was announced from Mr.. Croker s
headquarters that the New York and
Kings county delegations had united on
August Van Wyck of Brooklyn, brother
OF Mayor Van Wyck of New York, for
Governor, and that the Mayor would be
withdrawn.
After a conference between Senator Nc
Carren of Brooklyn and Richard Croker
during which a great deal of telegraphing
was done Senator McCarren said:
I'VE are going to name Judge Van Wyck
and we will have 290 votes on the first
ballot. Only 226 are necessary for a choice.
Beside the New York and Kings county
solid vote we will get votes from Oneida,
Rensselaer,, Erie, Columbia and Ulster,
and some scattering ones. We have not set
tied upon the rest of the ticket
A few minutes later Senator Hill walked
along the corridor. He was smiling, and In
reply to questions said: Yes, under
stand that the New York and Kings
county delegates have united on Judge
Van Wyck for a candidate. At the same
time none of the upstate candidates have
withdrawn, and I believe that all of them
will get into the convention. don't know
of any upstate delegates pledged to Mr..
Van Wyck. but In return for favors shown
other candidates by Tammany they may
throw some votes"
Contrary to all expec ia tions and to the
Indications of last night and early this
morning, the convention was very har-
monious, the only contest being for the
nomination for governor, and only one
ballot being taken on that.
When the convention met soon after noon
Frederick Schraub was elected permanent
chairman and was escorted to the chair

effort Of every Democrat to so shape the
