SYIACUSE , N. Y. , Sept. 23.-The streets ,
. the corrIdors of hotels and every place where
poltcians can gather have turned Into meet-
. Ing places for democratic slate makers and
' , ' realters , and so glutted Is 1 ever avenue In
, , te : hotels that I Is I dlmcult to move about.
avery train slnco noon has brought In Its
- 'ota of legates , from the Empire State
cpress that landed David U. 111. Camp-

man J. W Ilnckley , and the fast maI Sen-
ntor Murphy all ex-Llcutenant Governor
I Sheehan , down to "Ie slower going specials ,
' ; iJ I onq bearing Tammany , GO strong. and an-
: f ' other with thc state democracy aboard to
: 'f ? t the number of 250. I Is estimated that at
r' ' least third here than
" lost a more people are
were at Saratoga at the republican conven-
ton , and stl they will come tonight and
tomorrow. Tonight the silte , which this
I ' " moring wal In f.lrly good BIUIO Is al-
, , fl.o9t lost sight of behind the swarm of fleW
' . ,
) 'II J f ' eindidate. The only olces that seem to be
: . . ' out of dispute arc those of secretary of state
, " . and .
" " attorney general. The comptrolership
' , J t , BCemJ to bo the main bone of contention ,
' , 1 . 'f and sInce 3 o'clock there have developed five
flotv candIdates. The leaders smied at the
, \ ' Donnybrook among the candidates all re-
. fused to make selections. The probability ,
' \ I therefore , Is that the slate will not bl se-
leeted before tomorrow night , and even then
P'veral candidates will be left over.
The first proposition submited tonight and
which wilt be Introduced tomorrow In the
" , convention wi be the canal plank ! : "The
l ; great democrat , Samuel J. Tiden , In his
message to the legislature of 187 . ' recommended -
mended the Improvement of the state canals
upon the plans embodied In the proposition
to be voted upon by the people at the ap-
"roaching election. In complete accord wIth
the prlncl111es all policy of Governors Seymour -
- mour , Tiden and ll , the democratic party
heartily approves the proposition for un-
proving the canals of this state. We denounce -
flOUnCe as a cowardly subterfuge the utterances -
ances of the republican party on the In-
IJOrtaut queston of canals. The democratic
party of New York stands unalterably op-
pose.1 to tile so-called ship canal between the
great Inland lakes and tidewater of the
hudson . as welt as against federal aid
. toward Improving our canals \ ; national In-
I t terference with the canal sy tel owned and !
I' operate by the state. "
The remainder of the platerm , exclusIvE
of the excIse queston , Is as follows , In
abbreviated form : Declaring that the reo
. turn to prosperity In tile country Is due to
the proper allmlnlstraton of the natonal af-
: fairs by the democrats antI protesting against
any tariff tinkering : declaring against the
re-enactment of any law similar to the Sherman -
man silver law : commending the administration -
. ton of PrChlent Cleveland ; polluting out the
. Immense expense Incurred by so-called investigating -
vestgatng commltecs and the "addlng of
probably additional expenses each year :
crJtclslng tIle partisan legislation Inlulgcd
' In and the failure to work the reforms premIsed -
A Isod : arraigning the administraton o Gov-
, ernor Morton for glaring sins of commission
and omission.
. . Six representatives of the German Hlform
/ unIon of New York arrived tills afternoon .
! They will not bo asked to participate In the
t' convention , hut will Insist upon admission
, as a fair representation oC the deu\cracy.
I" In speaking ' of the excIse plank the German L
> ; reformers would favor n prominent New
Yorker said to an Associated press reporter : :
. "Our position wi be In support of th' state t
democracy , , In the matter. " 'fhen he added :
"Wo think that the present dllcaly ; arises
not so much from the nature of the law , but
from tile manner oC Its almlnlsraton by
, the local autiiorltiea. "
Colonel ! Iob rt Grier Munroc secretary of : f
the State democracy , said this morning that t
BO far as he knew neither hIs people nor the
Tammany men had made any propositions
relative to representation.
"We shall ask to be seated , and the mater
wilt bo seted by the commIttee on creden-
tials . " said the colonel. lie added that a
faIr representation would be Insisted upon
, r and obtained I possible.
The question of representation of factions
lcaflO ! trifle more tangled In the minds of
those present today when Corporation ' Coun-
Eel Francis M. Scot of New York arrlvcd.
Mr. Scott was asked by an Associated press
correspondent : "What relative representa-
ton do you thInk the state democracy Is en-
tItled to ? "
"Winy. a full one , of course. 'Ve shall
I demand the seating of our delegation. "
"What will you accept as the lowest repro-
lentaton ? "
"Well . Im not prepared to say. You see
we are willing . for harmeny's sake to make
j some concessions on the state ticket , but
' \ wo want It distInctly understood that any
1 deal make here Is not .
wo to bind us to Tam.
many In any way on local Issues In New
York county. I we get In wo will support
wIth all our might the state ticket , but will
not combine wIth Tammany In New Yorlt. "
, Mr. Daforth Is here to boum the candidacy
, I of Mr. D. I. Dow of Schobarle for stae
treasurer , a 111 has opened headquarters In
the Yates houso.
F I was ! o'clock tonight when Senator Hill ,
? str . Sheehan anti Air . JIinkley could break
. away from th& crowd that surrounded them
! . and go to the meetng of the stAta committee.
The commitee adopted a resolution that the

CHICAGO , Sept. 23.-The great convention
, of Irish societies will he opened In Young

tomorrow morning with a large repruenta-

Tolay delegates were arrIvIng upon nearly

I ferences and the welcoming of new arrivals
beIng the order of the da ) ' . John T. leatn !
state secretary of the Ancient Order of II-
bernlans and secretary of the local reception
committee , estimates that there wilt be
fuly 1. O deegates In attendance when the
conventon opEns. The convention wi last
three days
The object Is the formation of a united I
open organization for the furtherance of the
IrIsh cause. Those who issued the cal ( or
the convention damn that It Is contemplated I
that physIcal force email not be used or advised - '
vised In the attainment
atainment of the independence t
of the Irish people as a nation unless such I
means be deemed absolutely necessary and I
the object In view be probable of attains. .
atain-
men t .
. I Is believed the conventIon will I
, servo to revive Interest and InfuFe new lift
Into _ _ .t Irish h cause both In America and le :
tI-ettt ziritain . Among the many Uistlnguistucd
distnguished
delegates already here Is O'Neill flynn of
St. Louis. Mr. ' O'Nel
l.uls. Ryan who was one of tine
signers of the original call for the
cal conven-
ton , Is ex-president of the IrIsh Na-
tonal league. Asked to indicate the special
and specific purposes of the convention
Mr. Ryan said : "It Is
lyan "I a convention called
conventon caled
'by leading
men of the Irish race who have
ceased to have confidence In the efforts of
the British Parlamcnt to obtain eforts our
rights. We
wish to make known our desires -
sires through tlnte convention ; then we shall
await the outcome. We shall arOUse shal
IrIsh movement from the lethargy Into
which I has been allowed to fail durIng the
fal
past four or five years. Tine general prilcl-
pIe which we advocate . and for which I be-
leve the convention wi declare , Is the
complete Independence of the IrIsh people.
There has been considerable talk about the
convention declaring In favor of the em-
'ployment of physical force In obtaining our
ends. Now , I do not believe . nor do I
think the prim movers In the
! calling of this
calng
convention believe , that such a course would
be advisable at this time . It wou1
I
wou1
Coolshness tor the Irish people to enter
Into a rebellion which promised at the out-
set to end In our people beIng ImprIsoned
and killed. Hut I do believe that the men
most active In this cnse are In favor of
force should It be
necessary and
likely to
brIng abut the desired results. " Ikel )
Considerable comment Is being aroused
by the fact that among the fifty delegates
from New ' York ' City who have arrived are
Jeremiah 'O'Donovan Hossa and P. J.P.
Tynan Hess and Tynan
: are stayIng at
McCoy's motel the offIcial headquarters. A
sensation has been created by tine announce-
mont that among other
things the
con-
venton wi consIder the case of the Irish
political prIsoners still held In penal servl-
who In England. Lord Salisbury
Salsbur ) , It li stated
on high authority , vill
authoriy wi probably bo sent a
formal demand for their release witinin
a
certain period which , I not complied witin ,
will be followed strictly by eompled carrying
out of the old "
law-"An

fol eye , and
a tooth for a tooth. " For every prisoner not
released the "removal" Is promised of an
English cabinet officer or prominent , omclal.
