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.

nation of the Populist party for the

States he had been given a plain duty
to perform. He should remain on the

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."
