CHICAGO'S REVOLUTIONISTS Will lie Endoraed If the Platform aa heporttd la Adopted MuJi Excllt mcnt I'revaila and Little Talk of Kualon. lluffalo, Sept. IS The platform of the iM-mocrallc party In tbia atate, as drafted tonight, will have aa its first proposition this statement: "'The Democrat of the state of New York. In convention assembled, do here by approve, and unreservedly Indorse the platform adopted by the national convention at Chicago, and we here by unanimously approve the nominees of said convention. William Jennings Hryan and Arthur Hvwall, and pledge them our earnest and cordial support." The completion of the first day's ses sion of the Democratic state convention has not disturbed In any great meas ure the forecast that had been pre pared. The condition tonight, how ever, are interesting, because of the Internal fights which, while good na tured upon their surface, are not want ing In Internal bitterness. The prin cipal strife tonight is to prevent the adoption of the unit rule and to pre vent thereby the nomination of any candidate without a fair, open fight. Particularly are the friends of Con gressman Bulxer striving to this end. It Is reasonably certain tonight that the ticket will be: Governor, John Boyd Thatcher, of Albany. Lieutenant-governor, ex-Mayor Ryan, of Syracuse. Judge of the Court of Appeals, Rob ert C. Titus, of Buffalo. Chairman of the state committee, E. P. Dan forth. National Committeeman, Frank Campbell. Ttle slate has not been decided upon without hourly opposition, and the op position Is so bitter that while the cer tainty of the ticket Is almost establish ed at a late hour tonight, complications may arise which will change any name uim the ticket, with the possible ex ception of Judge Titus. The planning of the candidacy of Thatcher has been In the hands of a man who is not num bered among the delegate, and this in Itself has caused some of the opposi tion. The man Is Anthony N. Brady, of Albany, president of several large corporations and a stockholder In the Chicago C.a Company. This fact has arrayed the more radical free silver men against Thatcher and they are claiming many pledges. The greatest excitement of the day at the convention was the announce ment that there had been a practical fusion of Populists and Democrats, in which Senator Hill's friends had been active. In assisting the Populists. The story came direct from the chairman of the Populist committee of live. A. Flske, one of the Populists, said: It was agreed that the Populists should support the nominees and plat form of this convention, no matter who the nominees were. If, In return for this support, they will be allowed to name live presidential electors." The final ararngement has not yet been made.

A special to the llee from Lincoln, Nebraska, says that Congressman Thomas Watson address ed nn audience of 2.000 people nt the Lansing Theatre this afternoon. Wat son said that In accepting the nomi nation of the Populist party for the ollice of vice-president of the United States he had been given a plain duty to perform. He should remain on the ticket and carry forward thnt duty un til the end of the tight on the night of November 3. He refrained from any mention of Sewull, and when a voice from the balcony inquired "How about Sew-all?" this was the only question put to him which he ignored. He said the recent elections in Vermont and Maine had conclusively proved that the mon ey power prevailed in the North and East. There was great danger that Bryan would be betrayed In the house of his alleged friends. "Do you know," he asked, "who has been selected as an eastern man and friend of the banks and money power? Gorman Is trying to betray the party and Bryan." TYNAN CLAIMS CITIZENSHIP. Washington, Sept. 16.
