Less than thirty of the 24o delegates
were negroes. In previous years the
negroes have greatly outnumbered the
whites. The effort to keep the re-
groes in the background has created
trouble. At the Congressional convention
of this district the negroes bolted because
the Lilly Whites who were in the ma
jority. declined to nominate one colored
man as a delegate to the Republican Ma
tional Convention.
There was no opposition whatever to the
denomination of President Mckinley. The
mention of the Presidents name by Chair
man Holton in addressing the convention
was responsible for wild enthusiasm.

BoURKE cocKRAN's NEW MOVE,
May Declare for IA Reveal of the Fiji
teenth Amendment


NEW YORK, May Wv. Bourke Cock
ran. who is now at his country home at
Port Washington, L. l., will start on Sun
day or Monday next for Montgomery. Ala,
where he is to address the Southern So
ciety for the Promotion o. the Study OF
Race Conditions and Problems in the
South" This will be the first annual con-
ference of the society, and it will BE in SEES
sion three days. May s. 8, and 10. Mr..
Cochran is booked to make the closing ad-
dress on the afternoon of the 10th.
Il has been reported for the past few
days among prominent members of She
Southern colony here in New York that
Mr.. Cochran in his speech, would take
very radical ground on the negro question
in the South.
Il am informed said a gentleman who
has been conspicuous in the group of
Southerners that of late years have achiev-
ed success in the North, that Mr.. Cock
ran is going to come out with strong
nat-footed declaration in favor of the re-
peal of the fifteenth amendment. If he
does this it will cause an explosion. The
race question in the South has got to the
point where a crisis of some kind is near
at hand And if Mr.. Cochran takes the
position am informed he is going to take,
and advocates the withdrawal of the fran
chise from the Southern blacks, it will
have a tendency to precipitate matters
Mr. Cochran. when spoken to on the
subject by a reporter today, said that the
statement that he was going to urge the
repeal of the fifteenth amendment was pre-
mature.

the Chicago Platform Endorsed.

CONCORD, \. H., May 1.-The Demo-
cratic State and District Conventions fer
the election of delegates to the National
Convention at Kansas City were held here

contests in choosing delegates. S. B. Page
was elected delegate at-large.
An active contest arose in the choice
of delegates from the Second district.
Mayor N f. Martin. of this city, was de-
feated by William A. Ahern. also of this
city. The latter came into the fight yes
terday representing the dissatisfaction of
the central Democracy by reason Of the
fact that Mayor Martin has strcnuoUsly
enforced the temperance laws. The action
taken means that Mayor Martins renomina-
ton will be vigorously opposed next fall
by members of his party who believe in a
license law.
The platform adopted unanimously by
the State Convention, which was presided
over by Hon. H H. Metcaif, OF this city,
denounces the Republican party for its
abandonment of bimetailism, declares
against trusts, condemns any and all al
liances with Great Britain. favors the cleo
ton of United States Senators by direct
vote of the people. and contains the fol-
lowing additional planks:
we, the Democrats of New Hampshire,
in convention assembled. unqualiiiedly and
unreseryedly endorse the Chicago platform
of 1896, in whole and in detail and declare
our uawavering fidelity and adherence to
the same. We denounce the Republican
party for inflicting upon the nation. under
false pretences, policy of colonial con-
Quest with its attendant evils of imperial
ism and militarism at a sacrifice OF the
basic principles of the Declaration of hide
penderce. and in defiance of the Federal
Constitution.

other constitutional guaranty for Porto

American Republic the guilt of criminal
aggression in the Philippines and neglect
Of plain duty TO Porto Rico by depriving
her citizens OF the right Of self government

distinct pledges solemnly given and OF

MR.. GORMAN'S VIEWS.
He Does Not Believe Dewey Can BE
Nominated.


NEW YORK, May Former Senator
Arthur Pue German of Maryland was at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel today. Many news
paper men ATTEMPTED to get from Mr.. Cor
man his personal views on the Democratic
national situation. Mr. German declined
to say word Of any moment TO his visi-
tors. or course quite a number Of men in
public life talked with Mr.. German. To
these Democratic visitors Mr.. German
said that he believed that Admiral Dewey
was fine sailor and an excellent gentle-
man. but he did not see how Dewey could
be nominated for President for the reason
that Mckinley was already sure of Ie-
nomination at the hands of the Republican
party and that Bryan would surely be Ie-
nominated by the Democratic party.
The Democrats who called on Mr. Cor
man learned from him that Mr.. Bryan was
practically to make his own platform in
Kansas City. and that Mr.. German would
not attend the Democratic National Con-
vention. Mr.. German did not attend the
Democratic National Convention in 1896
While Chairman James K Jones' of the
Democratic Committee and Mr. German :
are warm personal friends, it has been
known that Mr.. Jones has never been pow
erful enough with Mr. Bryan to induce Mr..
Bryan TO make Mr. German a member of
the executive committee of the Democratic
National Committee. Mr. Jones' in 1896.
greatly desired the counsel of Mr. German,
but Mr.. Bryan overruled Mr.. Jones' sug-
gestion. Something has been said within
the last few days about former President
Cieveland's friends bringing him forward
as a Democratic candidate for President at
Kansas City. If for no other purpose than
to defeat the nomination of Mr.. Bryan.
Senator Germans friends said tonight
that he did not suspect any sincerity in the
alleged movement to bring Mr. Cleveland
again TO the front. Former Secretary
Daniel S. Lamont has said to his personal j
friends within the last few days that be
knew nothing of any movement to bring
Mr.. Cleveland into prominence again

nEpuBLicAN PARTY CREED.

Forecast of the Platform to Be sub
mittcd to the National COnven-
ton.
Chicago. April 1S.-A special to the
Post from Washington says: Admins
tration leaders have agreed upon the
issues and articles Of Republican faith
which will be incorporated in the ma
tional platform to be submitted to the
Philadelphia convention for ratiflca-
ton. A rough draft of the Republican
party creed has been accepted by Re
publican leaders Of the senate and Re-
publican national committeeman. The
opening declaration will be a hearty H.
dorsement Of President Mckinley and
unqualified approval of all the admins
trative acts. The establishment of q
gold standard will be dwelt upon and
a plank will be devoted to make allegi-
ance to. the gold standard. The key
note Of the platform will be the eXpan-
sion issue. A. strong, clear utterance
in favor Of the retention Of the Philip
pines and of a vigorous foreign policy
will be delivered. There will be no
positive affirmation of the right of this
government to govern the Philippines
that must be left for future adjudi-
cation. The policy Of protection will
be affirmed and the platform viii
pledge the party to the support Of the
doctrine of reciprocity. A greater
merchant marine and liberal pension
laws will be demanded. and the Mon
roe doctrine reasserted. The Near
aguan canal will be supported If no
action is taken at this session Of con-
.'gress. The developments Of the near
future in Cuba and. the outcome of the
municipal election next month will
largely shape the policy toward b
island. Among other planks in the
platform will be one in favor Of an
augmented navy, others in favor OF
civil service. free homesteads and re-
striction of immigration, and tempe
ance and woman suffrage will also
find a place in the platform.
