Is Pledged to Support Action Talk
 en mt Kansas City.
 The New York state Democratic con vention on Tuesday gave promise of be- ing very stormy. but ended up quietly. The particular feature of the convention was the domination of affairs by ex-Sen- ator David R. Hill. The silver men pro- fess to be satisfied with the result.
 Delegates at large to the national Dem ocratic convention elected were:
 David B. Hill of Albany, Richard Gro ker of New York, Edward Murphy of Rensselaer, and Augustus Van Wyek of Kings. Alternates: Frank Campbell of Steuben for Mir. Hill, Jacob Ruppert, Jr.. of New York for Richard Croker, C. Morgan Sanford of Amsterdam for MT. Murphy and James Sheylin of Kings for Augustus Van Wyck.
 Electors at large are Frederick Cook of Rochester and Robert C. Titus of Buff falo.
 The delegates were instructed for Bry- an.
 The Chicago platform was not reaffirm- cd, but a resolution was passed declaring that the party in this state would support whatever platform should be adopted at Kansas City.
 The financial plank in the platform is as follows:
 We favor both gold and silver as the standard money of the country, the mon- ey of the constitution and of our fathers. each to be maintained at a parity with the other in purchasing and debt paying power. We pledge our best efforts to continue the work of monetary reform"
 Other features of the platform are:
 "No war tax in time of peace, abolition of all customs and tariffs between Porto Rico and the United States, condemna- ton of trusts and monopolies, opposition to entangling alliances, just and liberal pension laws, election of United States senators by the people, speedy fulfllment of antewar pledges to Cuba and 'the constitution follows the flag"
 There was no contest at the meeting of the new state committee last night. Frank Campbell was elected chairman without opposition. Overtures had been made to former Senator Hill to take the chairmanship, but he refused them be- cause he does not wish to assume respon- sibility for the campaign. Some of for mer Senator Murphy's friends also wish ed him to be placed at the head of the committee

A silver tablet has been placed in the Quaker meeting house in Amesbury, Mass, where Whittier used Co worship. It was built in 1851, and the details of It's construction were left by the socie- ty to the care of Mir. Whittier. As the poet had mixed with the worlds peo. pie more than most of his brethren, some conservative friends feared he would provide too many modern com forts. To set their hearts at rest in this manner Whittier employed as builders three venerable carpenters, one of whom was n Quaker minister and the other two elders of the society. The result was the neat and comforta- ble but entirely plain house now stand Ing in Friend street. The seat habit ually occupied by Mir. Whittier was on the right side of the aisle.

served the purpose of sending the Ne

be to shut out the bulk of the Negro

THE ELECTION IN VERMONT
STATE GOES REPUBLICAN BIZ A RE-
DUCED MAJORITY.
The Retains Today Do Not Materially
Change the Figures of Last
Night.

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION. VT, Sep
TENDER 5.-Election returns, in addition to
those received last night, were very slow
in arriving today. and such figures as came
to hand were from very small places, and
had little bearing on the general result.
The total vote Of the places heard from up
to 10 o'clock this forenoon and not pre-
viously reported did not exceed 1880. The
relative decrease in the republican vote and
increase In the democratic figures seemed
to be maintained in the towns thus reported
In about the same ratio as last nights fig
uIes showed.
The five additional towns reported today
all gave majorities for Stickney the repub-
ed H. c. Simpson (republican) for represen-
tative. He favors Grout for senator. Nor
rfstown. with total vote Of about 600,
showed gain Of Fl per cent for the dem
ocrats. Morrfstown elected S. G. Fleet
wood (republicln) as representative. Mr..
Fleetwood favors Dillingham; for senator.
Nottingham and Worcester, while giving
pluralities for Stickney for governor elect
ed democratic nominees for representative.
Nottingham elected L. H. Sawyer and
Worcester chose s. T. Tewksbury as repre-
sentative Nottingham elected demo-
crat in 1893.
Sheffield, which two years ago elected
prohibitionist representative. now sends
a republican. These returns show that the
democrats nave gained the representative
from Worcester. while the republicans get
their candidate from Sheffield in place of
prohibitionist.
Early this afternoon Ira P. Allen, chair
man of the republican state committee
made the statement that 200 out of 24O
cities and towns in the state give Stickney
republican, for governor, AZ, 232; Senter
tdemocrat. 14,S9S. The same towns in 1896
gave Circuit (repubican), 46,37S: jackson
tdemocraD. II. 1885, From these figures, Mr..
Allen says, 1t is safe to call Stickney's plu-
rality $1,000.
The most conservative estimate of the
standing Of the legislature. based upon re-
turns received up to early this afternoon.
are that the senate will be republican
throughout, and that the republicans will
hold bout 200 of the 246 seats in the house
OF representatives. In 1893 the democrats
elected twenty-One representatives and in
$50 they elected forty-two.
The two republican candidates for Con-
gress were elected by figures generally cor
responding with the plurality of the re-
publican candidate for governor.
