Had a nomination at yesterdays
Democratic county and legislative con-
vention been equivalent to an election
the contests for favor at the hands Of
the delegates assembled in Market hall
could hardly have been more spirited.
There were present under one roof
Democrats who have for recent years
been living apart politically, but yes
terday they were engaged in an ami
cable reunion in which old factiOnal
lines were almost completely obliter-
ated, and the contests were between
man and man, with the understanding
that all would be happy when the best
man won.
A number of Republican leaders Wis
tied the convention evidently expecting
to find themselves in bear pit, but the
harmonious deliberations Of the united
party soon discouraged them and they
hurried to their own work.
It was somewhat later than the ad-
vertised hour when Chairman Town
ley, Of the county committee, felici-
tousIy invited the convention to order,
with the suggestion that it was called
to nominate candidates and not to cut
up spoils.
AS Mr.. Townley put an interroga-
ton point after the question, What is
your further pleasure?" P. D. Scanne1
jumped to his feet and named for
chairman e. J. Darragh, whose name
was seconded by several, including
William Johnson, OF the First.

Noti0h 10 the principle of the absolute divorce
OF the local judiciary from partisan poIitics
t, ron tWen'y-nVe years Democratic nomina-
elol was, IN ramsey county, equivalent to

temperate party, in order to remove the
bench from the disturbing and corruntino

voluntary action, maintained the equilibrium
OF party representation in judicial postions

party nominated and assured the election
OF two Republican judges, refusing TO nomi-

become vacant. The logic of the situation

cency, of past pledges. and of the enormous
public interest in the Derpetuation of The
system heretofore established the recent con-
vention OF the Republican party yielded to
the greedy demands of the spoils-hunter and

its duty, the Democratic party declares it's
continued adherence to this, the most i'm

es the people that whatever the Republican
party may do or fail to do, this organization
will at all times do all that lies within it's
ability to maintain the bench of this county
upon the high plane of ability. character and
independence which it has hitherto occupied.

when 1T was announced by the leaders,
as they went to dinner, that none Of
the many candidates for the guberna-
torial nomination had been decided
upon for their support, and that the Sc
lection of the man to head that ticket
was still an open question. They ad-
mitted, individually, that the entire
subject Of the selection of the most
available man had been under full and
free discussion, and while Mr.. Croker
said that the decision would be the
spontaneous act of the convention, it
was declared that another meeting of
the leaders would be held tomorrow
morning previous to the calling of the
convention.
After the conference had closed a
meeting of the state committee was
held, at which the details for the or
ganiZation and operation of the con-
VentiOn were decided upon.
The committee did not, however, de-
eide upon any programme as to the
platform as it might relate to the
money plank Of the Chicago national
platform. George Palmer, Of Schoharie,
was decided upon as temporary chair
man of the convention.
The mass meeting of Chicago plat
form Democrats at the Alhambra to-
night was attended by about 5000 peo-
pie, who manifested a hearty approval
of the sentiments expressed by the
speakers. These were, in effect, that
the silver element of the party would
demand of the convention tomorrow
that the Chicago platform be unequiv-
ocally affirmed, and men placed in
nomination who voted for Bryan and

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27-Gen. Fran
els Greene, accompanied by the dele
gates from the Philippine insurgents,
arrived here this afternoon. The two
Fillpinos are Felipe Agincolle and
Jose Lopez. They are the personal rep
resentatives of the insurgent leader
Aguinaldo and are on their way to
Paris to secure representation on the
Spanish-American peace commission
with a view to the recognition Of the
insurgent government in the Philip
pines.
When Mr.. Lopez was asked as to the
reports that the Filipinos were solicit
ing help from European governments,
he said sdch reports were without
foundation. He said the German con-
sular officer of the island had requested
an interview with Aguinaldo, but that
leader had refused to grant the con-
ference. Mr.. Lopez also characterized
as unwarranted the stories that Ger
many was secretly equipping the
Philippine insurgents in order to bring
about internal dissensions and embar-
rass American control.

SUSPICIOUS OF SPAIN
YELLED THREAT IN LAST IN
sTRUCTIONS TO THE PEACE
COMMISSION
SHREWD SCHEME POSSIBLE
Open Way in Which the Madrid
Minister of Foreign Affairs Dis
cusses the Situation Regarded as
an Attempt to Draw Out the
Views of This Government on
the Subject.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-The free
dom with which the Spanish minister
of foreign affairs, the Duke Almodevar
de Rio, has given publicity to the in
structions to the Spanish peace COM
missioners, as to the disposition of the
Philippines, has given rise to suspicion
among the officials here that there is
behind 1t a deliberate purpose to draw
out In advance the position of, the
American commissioners on the most
important points.
There seems also to be yelled threat
in the last instructions, not to allow the
United States to interfere with the tur-
1sd1ction of any islands, except those
retained by the United States, such as
Luzon, that Spain may see fit to make
This is thought to show a disposition
on the part Of some continental power
to step forward to the support of Spain
IN her extremity in the hope of receiv-
Ing as .quid pro quo some part Of the
philippines as a coaling station.
Although the American commission
ers have so far resisted all efforts to
obtain a revelation Of the exact nature
Of their demands, 1t may be stated that
While the president has nowhere di-
rectly admitted any obligation to the
insurgents, he feels that in any ar
rangement that shall be made by the
peace commission for the final dispo-
s1tion Of the islands, the insurgents
shalI not be placed at the mercy of the
spanish government without guaran-
tee for their proper treatment. By an
extension of this same view it is I'M
likely that he would care to allow them
to be turned over to another power that
might oppressively treat them, especi-
any without the consent Of the natives.
1t Is noted at the state department
that the Spanish ministry for foreign
a1ralrs is reported to have directed the
Spanish commissioners to make a firm
stand regarding the Cuban debt and
the Philippine loan Of 1896, If Luzon IS
ceded to America"
so far as the Philippine loan is con-
cerned that subject might properly
come before the peace commission. But
Judge Day, before his departure, in an
sWer to question as to whether any
matters relative TO Cuba will come be-
fore the commission, pointed to the
language Of the protocol to show that
the proper functions of the commission
were to be found in the disposal Of the
future Of the Philippine Islands, init
mating that no question touching Cuba
IN any phase would be considered by
the commission. The understanding
was conveyed consequently that the
Cuban debt would come in no fashion
before the commission, if the American
commissioners could prevent it, al
though 1t was fully expected the Span
ish commissioners would make an ef-
fort to bring that subject into the de-
liberations Of the body.
