This is the ticket promulgated to-
night from the headquarters Of Senator
Hill. 1t was the result of a long con-
ference of state leaders. In which Sem
ator Hill and Hugh Mclaughlin took
a leading part.
The announcement of this tentative
ticket was received quietly by the
throngs in the hotel corridors, and later
rumors We're circulated that when IL
came before the convention IL might
not stand.
Talk Of Changes.
The Kings county delegates. led by
Senator McCarren, were prominent in
talking of prospective changes. De
spite this the Hill people went sereneiy
on. making arrangements for the nom
inatfon OF the ticket. In all Of this
preliminary work. Tammany took no
part, and, in fact, after the first con-
ference, Kings county ASSERTED itself.
Senator Hill during the evening did
not affirm or deny that the slate as
given out by those IN his room was alb
soluteiy that which the convention
would finally nominate
One of the rumors which sprang up
af- IT the slate was announced was that
Kings county was preparing a bolt, and
that several of the delegates would re-
fuse TO abide by the Coler decision or
vote in the unit system. Senator Nc
Carren, in answering, said:
VIII Vote as Unit.
1T is useless to try and disguise the
fact that several members OF our del
egation are not heartily In favor Of Mr..
Coler. We still believe that Judge
Parker would accept the nomination II
confronted with the fact that the con
vention wanted him by reclamation.
Still, / don't think we will break the
unit rule"
Important news of the night from
semi-official sources. but lacking au-
thorization, was that the committee on
platform had decided to declare for a
L000-ton barge canal and that the COM
mittee on credentials, 10 avoid further
trouble. would seat the delegation
headed by William S. Devery.
The convention was called 20 order
at 1890 o'clock and John 3. Stanch-
field of Elmira, the temporary chair
man, addressed the assembiage in part,
as follows:
Stanchheld's Address.
''The death of President Mckinley
was national misfortune. deeply de-
plored and sincerely regretted by all
classes and conditions of people. A
more strenuous if less polite admins
tration has demonstrated, however,
how egregiously our nartyred president
was in error regarding the Philippines.
The Democratic party has been so per-
and maleVolently misrepre-
scented as 10 its attitude in regard TO
the islands as to call for a sober and
candid statement of the truth. We in
sist that the principles at the bottom
of the war, il it be termed war, now
in the Philippines. are both
I'M American and un-democratic. The
stands upon the propo-
sition that we can buy with money or
obtain by force, the right to hold in
subjugation a people whose consent Is
not had and put upon them such a
constitution as we deem proper.
Soldier Not Attacked.
The Democratic party makes no at
tack upon the American soldier. The
rank and file of our soldiers and sailors
Is largely composed of Democrats, and
foul indeed is the bird that soils its own
nest
I'VE assault the administration that
IS carrying on this so-ealled war IN the
Philippines upon the ground that il
does not declare a time when IL will
turn over the islands to their people.
as we did in the case of Cuba. We con-
denim the party in power because II re-
fuses to declare and publish a policy
under which the Filipinos may be re-
stored to their own. Had We made pub
ic proclamation 10 the islanders that
upon the laying down OF their arms We
would. so soon as they should form
government. turn over the islands 10
hem, reserving a similar interest 10 /
hat We now have in Cuba, the war
would long ago have ended
What the Democrats say 20 our Re- |
publican opponents is. you exercise a |

-ariff as hurdle over which she must !
forever jump, before she is on a level /

n the no distant future Cuba will be /
'ne of us-a jewel in the sisterhood of |
