A BITTER FIGHT
IN MASSACHUSETTS

feated-Gaston Nominated.

BOSTON, Sept. 17.-Acrimony was not
wanting for a time in the Democratic
Convention in fremont Temple to-day,
but in the end harmony was restored
and the State ticket was enthusiastically
greeted. William a. CASTOR, OF Boston
was nominated Governor. In naming Col
onel CASTOR to head the ticket. precedent
was shattered, inasmuch as he was nomf-
mated and then given a platform of his
own dictation
Not unlike the famous conventions OF
1896 and 1900. the fight was over the
platform. The test OF strength was be-
tween Colonel CASTOR on the one hand
and George Fred Williams, once the stall
wart leader of the silver Democrats, on
the other. In this battle Mr.. Williams
was utterly routed, with the predicted
result that he is shorn Of all power of
leadership. The platform adopted is a
reputation of the Kansas City platform.
for Mr.. CASTOR refused to be the nominee
If in any way the declaration OF princi-
pies could be construed to endorse those
things most prominently advocated by
the party In the last two national cam
paigns.
Mr.. Williams was chairman Of the
Committee on Resolutions, and at first

test of Josiah Quincy, a member of the
committee, speaking for Colonel CASTOR
he consented to waive the endorsement.
and proposed planks in which the ma
tional questions of trusts, monopolies and
CORPORATE were dealt with in strong
language.
Mr.. Quincy wrote a platform which
was acceptable to Mr.. CASTOR. whose
convention strength was estimated,
rightfuliy as it proved. at four TO one
over Charles II. Hamlin, the other can
dldate for the nomina ton. In the cont
m1ttee last night, Mr.. Quincy's draft was
accepted by majority vote of Il to /,
which was repeated before the conven-
ton opened. Mr.. Williams prepared a
minority report.
The convention opened with trouble
brewing. It came soon after Mr.. Gaston's
nomination, when the matter of the plat
form was brought up The battle on the
floor was one of bitter words. After the
tumult, when order was restored Will
liams concluded his speech to be Kissed
again as he sat down. The minority re-
port was utterly defeated. The platform
was made public last night
The platform declares that the repeal
of all tariff duties upon articles controlled
by trusts IS the one simple and prac-
tical remedy which will limit the exac-
tons Of monopoly. 1t demands free coal
free iron ore, free hides, free wool and
reciprocity with Cuba and Canada Ar
bitration in labor disputes is favored:
opposition to Imperialism is affirmed and

on land or sea, are opposed Stringent
