NEW YORK DEMOCRATS.
State Convention Fails to Renfnrm
the Chicago Plntform, But Fnvors
MIR. Bryan for President,

New York, June 6.-The democratic
state convention elected these dele
gates at large to the national demo-
cratic convention: David B. Hill, Rich
ard Croker, Edward Murphy and Au-
gustus Van Wyck. Aternates: Frank
Campbell, Jacob Rupert, Jr., C. Nor
gan Sanford and james Shevlin. Elec-
tors at large: Frederick Cook, of
Rochester; Robert c. Titus, of Buffalo.
A synopsis of the platform follows:
1t contains no reaffirmation of the Chi
cago platform of 1896. but a declaration
that the party in the state will support
the platform of the Kansas City conven-
ton. The platform declares against war
taxes in times of peace. declares for
parity of gold and silver as currency.
demands abolition of all customs and
tariffs between Porto Rico and the United
States; condemns trusts and monopolies
and entanging alliances: demands lust
and liberal pension laws and election of
United States senator's by the people. and
favors the nomination of William j.
Bryan.
The vote in the resolutions commit
tee against clause reaiirming the
Chicago platform was 33 to Z. The con
vention gave promise of being very
stormy, but ended quietly. The par
ticular feature of the convention was
the domination of affairs by ex-Sena-
tor d. B. Hill. The silver men profess
to be satisfied with the result.

examinations and determinations, for
bitter personalities and for poignant
invective the debate exceeded any,
thing heard on the floor of the cham
Der for many years. The lie was not
passed directly, but the truthfulness
OF statements was challenged very
sharply. Senator Bacon (Ga) precip-
itated the scene by repeating charge
made several days ago by Senator
Pettigrew that Mr.. Cramp, the Phila-
delphia shipbuilder, had contributed
100000 to the republican campaign
fund in 1892, with the understanding
that he would be reimbursed by con
tracts for the construction of war
ships for the government This charge,
Senator Bacon said, had been denied
neither by Senator Hanna, the pres

tional committee, nor by Senator Car

An affecting story comes from Phil
adelphia of the application for divorce
by deaf mute wife from her deaf
mute husband. The history of mar
ried life Of this character can be i'm.
agined, to some extent. Naturally the
matrimonial experience would begin in
quiet wedding, and quiet married
life should follow. Nevertheless. NJ
though loud words were unknown. ex-
asperating language was possible.
The wife complains that her husband
called her names" on his fingers. We
all know that it takes two to make n
quarrel, and it would appear that a
deaf mute possesses superior faculties
for avoiding quarrels. AS the wife
could not hear what the husband was
saying, all she needed to do was to turn
her back, that she might not see the
gyrations of his finger tips. But pos
sibly this procedure would become
wearisome at length. AT all events, q
