affirmation OF the taicago platform Of
1896. but a declaration tnat the party
in the state Will support the platform
of the Kansas City Convention. The

time of peace: declares for parity of
gola and silver as currency; demands

tween Porto Rico and the United
Stals condemns trusts and monopO-
lies and entangling alliances; demands
just and liberal pension laws and cleo
tion OF United States senator's by the
people and favors the nomination of w.
j. Bryan.
A QUIET ENDING.
The convention gave promise of being
very stormy, but ended quietly. The
particular feature of the convention
was the domination OF affairs by Ex-
Senator David II. Hill. The silver men
profess TO be satisfied with the result.
The Democratic State Convention
met in the Academy OF Music at II
o'clock. Prior TO the meeting of the
convention every precaution was taken
by the leaders to avoid friction disas-
trous to party interests. and move
in this direction was made by prepar-
ing a resolution providing that all res
olutions offered by any delegate to the
convention shall be referred 10 the COM
mittee on resolutions without debate
Ii was the forerunner of precaution
intended TO keep the convention from
any controversy over planks I'm the plat
form should take place behind closed
doors In the committee room.
Senator Hill led the fight against en-
dorsement of the national platform of
1898 and urged that a conservative plat
form be adopted
Just before the convention met the
Chicago platform men made propo-
sition 10 the leade-- including Mr.. Hill.
to the effect that IL an endorsement
OF the 1896 platform could not be had
that they desired no platform what
ever. but Mr.. Hill and the other lead
ers would not agree TO this. and the
Chicago platform delegates said they
would call up the question i'm open
CALLED TO ORDER.
AT if:45 Chairman Campbell raped
the convention 10 order. and John T.
Norton OF Troy, temporary chairman,
began his address.
Mr.. Norton's speech was devoted
principally TO state issues. and con-
tained violent attacks on Senator Platt
and Gov. Roosevelt. Referring TO the
governors campaign and administra-
ton. he said:
"He Travelled from one end OF the
state To the other. singing his own
praises as a warrior and a reformer.
and. while the people laughed at his
egotism. the cunning plot OF his politi-
cal master succeeded Never In the

RAINBOW'S TEST.
Sevsnty-F00tsr Owned by Cor
ns|Ius Vanderbilt Had a Slight
Mlshap at Bristol.

The 70-foot sloop yacht Rainbow,
owned by Cornelius Vanderbilt. was out
twice yesterday at Bristol for trial
spins. That of the morning was made
I'm a very light south westerly breeze.
and the yacht went no farther than on
Pappoose Squaw point, between Castle
island beacon. She left her moorings of
the Herreshoffs' shortly after 10 o'clock
and made pretty picture with her
sails set as she stood across the har-
Dor. Her mainsail. forestaysall, jb,
jibtopsaiI and clubtopsails were up,
and after making run across the har-
Dor and a couple tacks down the har-
bor went about under Pappoose Squaw
and stood over toward battle-ground
buoy.
Nat Herreshoff was at the wheel, and
put the yacht inside OF the buoy with
the result that she went aground, her
keel striking the ledge on the shoal that
makes off from Hog island into Bristol
harbor. She hung up there for at least
Is minutes. but finally came OF under
her own sails. although her tender,
steamer Mirage, came out from Walk
ers cove 20 assist her.
Yesterday afternoon shortly before 2
o'clock she got under weigh again, and
with rafting good breeze was out
couple OF hours beating down the bay
against the wind. which was from the
south west. She carried her ciubtop-
sail until well down towards Sandy
point. when the yacht seemed TO heel
too much and IL was taken in. She went
down below Prudence island and then
had a run home with a fair wind, hav-
ing been out cou9le OF hours. The
trial i'm the morning did not amount
To a great deal. but served TO show the
fit OF the sails. which was excellent.
In the afternoon. however, the Rainbow
had good test in all positions with
the good breeze.
The 70-footer Mineola, owned by Au.
gust Belmont, with her tender. Scout.
arrived yesterday afternoon at Bristol.
from New York. The Mineola came here
for the purpose OF having a strut put
on the boom.
The opinions OF yachting men who
have seen the boats seem 10 be that
they are very tender in anything like
a wholesail breeze and they do not
point out into the wind. The yachts
seem 10 fall or when beating TO the
wiuiward and In n stiff breeze the lee
ward rail Is not 10 be seen. the water
coming uD on the deck.
the deck OF the Mineola was awash
when the yacht was coming up the
sound 10 Bristol.
TIE schooner yacht Emerald. owned
hv w. q. Iselin and in command of
Cant. Rhodes skipper of the Defender.
arrived at Bristol yesterday after
noon.

A SAD CASE.
Miss Rose Ethel Eddy Reported
TO Have Died In This City
Of Malpractice.

Miss Rose Ethel Eddy. is. pretty and
attractive, is dead from a criminal
operation. and some sensational devel-
opments are looked for within day or
two.
Coroner Lincoln Is at work on the
case. and Medical Examiner Perkins
says there is no doubt that the girl was
the victim OF a betraying lover.
Four or five weeks ago Miss Eddy
went to Pine street boarding house.
where she died She was accompanied
by her sister Florence, and the girls
told Mrs Macarthur who runs the
house, that they worked I'm a jewelry
shop. but did not say where. The
boarding house Is a quiet, respectable
one, and its tenants are not bothered
by inquisitiveness so long as they de-
port themselves properly. and the Ed
dy girls appeared TO be doing this.
How long they had been there before
the supposed operation was performed
those at the house do not know. The
girls lived quietly going out little and
keeping TO themselves. They did not
seem 10 care for acquaintance with
other occupants OF the house. and their
desire for privacy was respected.
During the time they were there the
only work Rose did was little sew
ing at tailor shop across the street.
They took their meals at restaurant.
A young man called few times, but
who he was is not known. He did not
appear toward the end Of their stay.
Rose graduated from the Candace
street grammar school year ago, and
she belonged TO the Park street Free
Baptist sunday school Friday last a
doctor called TO attend her. and he
came frequently after that.
Ii was proposed to take the dying
girl 10 the hospital. but her condition
prevented.
