STANCHFiELD NAMED.

Selected by the New York Democrats a.
Their Candidate for Governor.
SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 13. THE Dem
ocratic state convention has named the
following ticket:
Governor, John P. Stanchfield; lieu.
tenant governor, William Mackey; Sec
retary OF state, John T. Norton, con-
troller, Edwin S. Atwater; treasurer,
John B. Judson; attorney general
Thomas F. Conroy; engineer and sur
veyor, Russell B. Stuart.
The head Of the ticket was not Sc
lected without the indulgence of acri-
monious personalities and sarcastic
exchange of compliments among the
leaders. But when the will of the con.
vention had been finally registered, ex.
Senator David B. Hill was the first to
propose the unanimous nomination of
"a friend of lifelong standing, John p
Stanchfeld. The attitude proved SC
spon ntaneously infectious that repre-
sentatives of almost every county that
had opposed Mr.. Stanchfeld were i'm.
mediately upon their feet and one by
one they were recognized by Chairman
Raines to second the nomination.
The platform adopted pledges the
Democracy of New York anew to the
principles and policies Of Jeffersonian
Democracy and endorses the platform
adopted by the last Democratic ma.
tional convention.

Mr.. BRYAN'S LETTER.

Democratic Candidate Formally Accepts
Presidential Nomination.
CHICAGO, Sept. lS.-The letter Of the
Hon. w. j. Bryan accepting the Dem
ocratic nomination for president has
been given out.
Mr.. Bryan pays especial attention to
the trust question. He claims he is no
enemy to corporations, but says they
are supposed to confne themselves to
the business for which they are organ
lied. He reiterates the demand Of the
Chicago platform for an American
financial system, and free coinage at
the ratio of 16 to l.. The election of
United States senators by the people is
and also direct legislation.
The labor question is also treated quite
extensively. The other planks of the
Democratic platform are dwelt upon
and special stress placed on the present
administrators alleged mismanage-
ment of affairs. Imperialism is only
lightly touched upon.

No definite news of the result in Ma

The large vote polled by Senior Gener

as an endorsement Of Governor General

The Nationalist, as concrete whole;

that every time President Mckinley
