Weather brings; about odd
shopping. We’ve one hand
on. :light weights While ready
with the other to hand out
heavy stuffs. Or go back to
mid-summer goods again.
Most of our preparations,
though, are for early Fall and
its accompanying divertise-
ments—outdoor and indoor.
Autumn Fancies, in some
five or six styles; warp of a
black irregular yarn prod uc-
ing a slight boucle effect in
stripes, zig—zags, serpentine
and other designs, while the
weft, which is in various col-
ors such as gold, red, old
'blue, navy and reseda, is so
woven as to just catch a
glimpse of the various colors.
f In fact, one almost won-
ders at ‘the ingenuity of the
weaver, for unlike most goods
of this description they are so
firmly woven as to avoid all
possibility of pulling, or slip-
ping. ? . .
We could —carpet Seaside.
Park and thus retain its
beauty thronghout the Win-
ter, only for. the rain and
snow. We’ve the carpets,
» colors, patterns, qualities and
prices.
There’s big drifts of com-
fort in those men’s fleece
lined camel-hair Shirts and
Drawers; a $2.00 grade for
$1.65 each. Then we have a
full line of Medlicott under-
wear, said to be the best ob-
tainable. V
L'adies’ ribbed Vests and,
Pants, 25c. each. Another
line at 50 cents are the best
we’ve ever found for that
price.
Surprisingly little prices go
with the new Muslin Under-
wear—barely pays for the
material. But it is just as
pretty and'jusi as good as
though they paid for the
making; and all the little
frills. and furbelows.
You’d never suspect from
the quietness of the Uphol-
stery folk that they’re nearly
smothered in laces—curtains.

SYRACUSE PllTFOIIM. .
It Is a Declaration For Local Option
and Personal Liberty.
'BIGYGLISTS REMEMBERED‘
A Full Ticket Nominated—State Democ-
racy Refused to’ Accept One-fifth
Representation and Withdraw c
From the Convention. V
SYRACUSE, Sept. 26.—-There was noth.
ing talked of when the delegates began to
assemble at the Democratic state conven-
tion except the fight in New York. The
committee on resolutions was still labor-
ing with the excise plank. The hour for
calling the convention. to order was 10,
but none of the leaders had put in an ap-
pearance up to 10530. They were still de-
liberating on the two vexatious problems
——the contest in N ew York and the excise.
The attendance on the second day was
larger than . that of the first. A great
many more of the pretty, black haired and
blue eyed girls of the salt country were in
the hall, and they had on their most fetch-
ing shirt waists and treasured confections
in the way of hats.
The town band—Syracuse is not par-
ticularly strong in the brass band way—-
was in better trim than it was yesterday
and succeeded in arousing a great deal of
enthusiasm by its rendition of the waltz
song describing Mr. Casey’s experience in
the giddy mazes of the dance.
While the convention was waiting for
the committee to get ready the committee
on resolutions was having a lively time
over the excise plank. ’ -
Senator Hill, backed up by Senator
Tom O’Sullivan and Senator Murphy and
ex-Lieutenant Governor Sheehan and the
Buffalo people, was urging a liberal plank,
but the country delegates, led by ex—Gov-
PERMANENT CHAIRMAN FLOWER.
ernor Flower, were fighting for rigid ob-
servance. The ex-governor was eloquent
in his opposition to liberal laws. He said
the declaration for Sunday beer by the
party would cost it thousands of votes in
the country districts. '
The committee, however, decided not to
be frightened off, and the word was passed
aroufid that the personal liberty plank
woul go into the platform as originally
designed.
Therewas a wait of an hour and a. half
before there were any signs of calling the
convention to order. The arrival of ex-
Governor Flower was the first incident to
start the ball going. There were cheers
for him, and the band made the ex-gov-
ernor’s face beam with pleasure by play-
ing “Hail to the Chief.”
Senator Hill Cheered.
Five minutes later a hurricane of ap-
plause broke loose. David B. Hill had ar-
tivad.
The senator was looking in excellent
spirits. He was attired in the long black
frock coat so long a conspicuous part of
his attire at public gatherings. He held
a tall silk hat in his hand and smiled his
acknowledgment of the cheers. ,
Chairman Belmont called the conven-
tion to order at 11:35 o’clock. Chairman
Bell of the committee on credentials pre-
sented reports in favor of the sitting dele-
gation from Queens and Oswego.
There was breathless excitement when
Mr. Bell handed up the report on the con-
test. He submitted a resolution recogniz—
ing the Tammany delegates as the regular
delegation, but in the interest of harmony
urged the recognition of the State Democ-
racy upon the basis of one-fifth of the 105
delegates from New York. ,
A hoarse yell "broke out, led by the
Tammany men, but when Mr. Patterson’s
resolution had. been presented giving the
State Democracy one—third of the votes in
the convention the yell that went up was
louder and lasted longer. It came from
all arts of the hall.
hen Mr. Patterson climbed upon the
platform to speak in support of his mo«
tion to substitute his resolution for that
proposed by the committee on contested
seats.
During Mr. Patterson’s plea for har-
mony in the Democratic ranks, which was
eloquent and delivered in good style, his
reference to the State Democracy was
cheered to the echo. The Tammany men
listened in silence.
Mr. Patterson warned the convention
that if his resolution was not adopted the
movement to secure harmony, already as—
31er by fair treatment, would fail for all
me. . .
“The report of the committee on ere-
dentials is unworthy of it,” said he. ”The
State Democracy delegates cannot accept
these terms. They mean that these gen-
tlemen are wrong and have no right here.
They mean that the regular machine has
a right to crush, all opposition right or
wrong. ,
, Hlsses from the back of the hall where
the spectators were seated caused Mr. Pat-
terson to pause and pretest againstinter-
I'u tion. When quiet was restored he
as ed:
. “Who are these gentlemen who are de-
mulling recognition at the hands of the
assumed complete power on Jan. 1, backed
, fidence, nor can it forget the melancholy,
the false pretense by which powar had
, throughout the state in the interest of our citi-
stats eefi’ventidn iii the‘na'nie 6f the Stiff!
Democracy?” '
" Rubes I” yelled a voice from the rear of
the hall.
‘ ‘Gareos !” was yelled from another part.
' mu Asks For Order.
Senator Hill, who sat on the right side
of the center aisle in the middle of the
hall, arose and said: .
‘ ‘I hope the gentleman will be accorded
a respectful hearing. He is entitled to it.
Imove that the sergeant-at-arms be in-
structed to maintain order.”
Comparative quiet was observed from
this time on. Mr. Patterson spoke for 20
minutes, touching upon the history of the
light, the relations of the Lexow commit«
tee and the merits of the claims of the
contestants.
After speeches in opposition by Mr.
Bell of Kings and Senator Guy the ques-
tion was put by the chair, and the Patter-
son substitute was killed and the original
resolution giving the State Democracy,
one-fifth adopted.
The Grace-Fairchild people started to
leave the hall, and as some" of them filed
out there was a repetition of the scene in
the Democratic convention of 1894 at Sar-
atoga. Tammany stood up and alternate-
ly. cheered and hissed.
When the tumult had subsided, the re-
port of the committee on permanent or-
ganization was read, and the chair ap-
pointed John Boyd Thacher and James N.
Sheppard to escort ex-Governor Flower to
therohair. _
Ex-Governer Flower's Speech.
Assuming the position of permanent
chairman, Mr. Flower said in part:
“I count myself out of active politics,
but I am too earnest a Democrat to refuse
the call of my party if it needs my sefvices
on such an occasion as this, and I feel
proud at being asked to preside over the
deliberations of a convention whose action
will, as I believe. reflect the judgment
and opinion of a majority of the voters in
the Empire State at the next election.
“ To Democrats who admire the charac-
teristic frankness of Democracy there are
particular satisfaction and interest in this
campaign. It is but a week ago that the
Republican party, in convention assem-
bled, reiterated the professions of reform
which filled their platform a year ago, and
every one of which was flagrantly ignored
by the party as soon as it was endowed
with power to effect reforms. Nothing
more grotesque in politics has been heard
in a long time than these solemn reitera—
tions of Republican virtue, declared with-
in four months of the adjournment of a
Republican legislature which impartial
judgment has described as the most cor- .
rupt in the annals of the state, and of
which even the leading Republican news-
paper of the state and nation, the New
York Tribune, said, ‘It has shown from
the beginning a disposition to palter with
the people who elected it, and, so far as it
could, deceive and betray them.’
“The memqry, of the people of New
York is not short enough to forget already
the premises with which the Republicans
by an unusual expression of popular con-
humiliating and disgraceful failure to re-
deem those promises, or the miserable
fiasco which followed every pretension of
reform. . ’ ‘ '
“No party has within recent years as-
sumed the powers of government in our
state with a larger measure of public con-
fidence or with a greater opportunity of
gratifying public expectation. But even a
month of power was sufficient to' expose
been obtained and to reveal professed re-
formch in their true light as political
pirates.
“While such a political betrayal is al-
ways to be deplored, whether it brings ad-
vantage to party adversaries or not, it is,
I am sure, a source of satisfaction to Dem-
ocrats, who felt the injustice of the posi-
tion *in which a combination of circum‘
stances had placed their party last autumn,
to realize that their partisan opponents,
who misled and deceived public opinion
for their own selfish purposes, are now
completely unmasked.’ ’
The Platform.
The speech was received with much ap-
plause, and then Chairman Lockwood ap-
peared and began the reading of the plat-
form, which was as follows:
The Democratic party of New York, in con
vention assembled, makes the following decla
ration of its principles and policy:
‘ First.—-—Home rule, the first essential condi-
tion of good municipal government; local ju-
risdiction and control over purely local af-
fairs: no legislative meddling.
Second—Economy in public expense , no pub-
lic money for private purposes or political
jobs: strict audit of oflicial expenditure; a
low tax rate. .
Third—Honesty in public ofiiee; no tainted
legislators; no corrupt traffic in legislation;
clean men and free agents. "
Fourth—Equal and honest enforcement of all
the laws; a proper observance of a day of rest
and an orderly Sunday; modification or repeal
of laws unsupported by public opinion; no un-
just sumptuary laws; no blue laws; recogni-
tion of the fundamental American principle of:
freedom of conscience; home rule in excise as
well as in other matters'within reasonable
limitations established to protect the interests
of temperance and morality, and an amend-
ment of the excise and other laws by the
legislature of the state which shall permit each
municipality, expressing its sentiments by a
popular vote of a majority of its citizens, to de-
termine within ’such proper legislative restric
tions as shall be required by the interests 01
the entire state what may best suit its Special
necessities and conditions.
.; Fifth—The attempts of prominent Republic-
ans, po ticians in the large cities of the state,
to repudiate their own platform are renewed
evidence of their hypocrisy and dishonesty on
the excise question and of their desire to de-
ceive the people.
Taxation. ,
Sixth.-—Equal taxation; no unjust discrimi-
nation; no favored interests; no partial legis-
lation; home rule ip methods of strictly local
taxation. ' ’
Seventh.——Individual liberty; the right of all
citizens to equal opportunities before the law
equal and exact justice to all men.‘ '
Eighth.-——Honest elections; compulsory ofiil
cial accounting of expenditures by political
committeesas wellagspandidates; personal reg-
istration of voters .. as a safeguard against
fraud. ‘li- -
Ninth—Practical and honest reform in the
civil service. ’ .
Tenth-Intelligent and liberal promotion of
agriculture.
Eleventh—Improved highways of travel
zens, particularly of the farmers and bicycle
riders, . ., . _
II
TWelfth.—Beneflciai and npeded legislation
in the interests of labor; opposition to combi‘
nations, trusts and monopolies in restraint of
competition in trade; improvement in and. the
maintenance of the canals of thp state in ac
cordance with the time honored; policy of the
Democratic party. , , l;
. Thirteenth.-7-Federal taxation; for revenue
only; ‘no government partnership with pro-
tected monopolies; no meddling l'th the pres-
ent reformed tariff to the inj and unset-
tling of business and industries.z ,
Fourteenth—Sound money; gold and silver
the only legal tender; no currency not convert-
ible into coin; gradual retirement and extinc-
tion of the greenback currency; no free and
unlimited coinage of silver. ‘;
.- Fifteenth.—Strict construction of the federal
constitution; rigid maintenance of the reserv-
ed rights of the states; no force bills.
The Monroe Doctrine.
Sixteenth—No entangling alliances with for
eign nations; the vigorous enforcement of the
Monroe doctrine; no jingoism.
. We reaffirm the Democratic national plat
form of 1892 and congratulate the people that
Democratic legislation and Democratic admin-
istration have successfully brought the coun-
try out of the disastrous financial and indus-
trial condition into which it was plunged by
the ill conceived acts of the Republican party.
We indorse the administration of President
Cleveland. - . .
We invite the attention of electors to the hu'
miliating record made by the Republican party
in its recent restoration to power in this state.
In full control of all branches bf the state
government, equipped with complete power
to accomplish promised reforms, it has prodi-
gally wasted the people’s money and forfeited
ublic confidence by its defiance of the popu-
ar will and its scandalous disregard of the
public welfare. _.
As a result .of their less than; one year of
power state taxation has been increased over
$4,500,000; the tax rate has been'graised from
2.18 to 3.24; many expensive and unnecessary
state commissions have been created; hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars have been fruit-
lessly and unnecessarily expended by; legisla-
tive commissions in searching through the
state departments for Democratic iniquities
which were not found because they did not
exist; the principle ofV home rule has been
continually and deliberately violated; the civil
service reform laws have been flagrantly dis-
regarded, especially in regard tofthe deserv-
ing veterans, and the entire legislative record
has been one of scandal, incompetence and
extravagance. I,
Upon such a record of faithlessness to public
trust the Republican party deserves the con-
demnation of the people at the polls, and the
Democratic party invites the co-bperation of
all citizens in: restoring good goyernment to
the Empire State. . 7
As Mr. Lockwood read. the various
clauses, and especially the excise and
home rule for cities on all things, he was
liberally applauded. e
The applause that greeted {he bicycle
clause was the heartiest of the session, and
there was laughter mixed with git.
Mr. Lockwood moving the previous
question, the platform was ace ’, ted With-
out debate unanimouslyr”. ‘
Mr. Larkin read the resolution adopted
by the state committee selecting a star as
the emblem and giving the right to the
state committee to say which of the two
factions could use the emblem. It was
adopted. ’
Congressman Sulzer then offered a res-
olution that was adopted sympathizing
with the Cuban insurgents.
Nomination of Candidates.
At 1 o’clock the nomination of candi-
dates began, and Mr. J. A. Greenfield of
Auburn put in nomination for judge of
the court of appeals John G. Teller of Au-
burn. He paid a high tribute to his worth
as a candidate and his fame as a lawyer
and a judge. Cayuga had never received
much recognition, and new it was entitled
to it. The nomination was made by ac-
clamation.
Mr. J. M. Bell of Kings county took the
platform to nominate for secretary of state
General Horatio C. King. - He said:
“Mr. Chairman, at the request of my
colleagues of the Kings county delegation
I nominate for the office of secretary 0
state General Horatio C. King of Brook-
lyn. ‘
“Kings county having, so far as state
matters were concerned, adjusted its dif-
ferences so as to promote the welfare of
the Democracy of the state of New York,
it came to this convention without the de-
sire to make any suggestion in favor of
the candidacy of any of its own sons, how-
ever distinguished. We found, howover,
a strong sentiment among the delegations
from other quarters of the state in favor
of General King, and Kings county, 'now,
as always, loyal to Democracy, gladly
joins in any movement which the general
party sentiment deems necessary to party
success in the coming election.
“General King has not sought this nomi-
nation. The nomination has sought him.
“But like the loyal Democrat that he is
he will not decline service, however ardu-
ous, imposed upon him by his party.”
General McMahon made a brief second-
ing speech, and the nomination was made
by acclamation. ‘
Judge P. P. Anibal arose and named
John B} J udsen for the office of comptrol-
ler. : 4 .. ~.-
