SYRACUSE , N , Y. , Sept , 24.-Thls has been a crucial day whim the democrats of New York stale , gathered here for their party conventIon. The ormal proceedings In the convention today were brief and of the cut and drIed type , but as nsual at political gatherIngs of thIs sort , the happenings of greatest Interest were behind time scenes. )1 the convention hal Mr. Perry Belmont delivered n speech which he hall prepared , but deprived the ollllonents of the national democracy - I racy of a chance to display their feeling by omitting a denunciation of time third term Plea l contemplated when time speech was < written. There was the usual cheers for the party headers when theIr names were men- tlcned and many of time leaders were In the tcne < ant city , conspicuous among them Senators 11 and Murphy , ex-Governor I lower , Charles I alrchlt and Tammany men , alhough If : Ir. Crolcr took any part In the councIls he did eo by wire , since he was not here. Behind the scenes In the principal com- mltees there were bates under way which candidates - ovetsimadowed the struggles of various dates for places on the tIcket. The length to whIch the party should commIt Itself on time question of more liberal excise laws was a bone of contenton , Sumo feeling was stIrred ' up over the minor contests 'for representa- ton , but the only biter issue was that b - - tween the state democracy of New Yacht City antI Tammany , where the former caimed a fractonal representaton of one-third and the hatter asserted Its claIm to the whole later assertet ccntrol of time part machinery In the ciy , The resnl was practically a vIctory for Tammany - many , although the state democracy got a small part of the loaf. COMMITTEE DID LITTLE COIITTlm DI At 10 o'elock thB Ilrlclpal Interest centered - toned about the Yates house where time state commitee was to meet Senator Hi was ready quIte early , but Chairman Ilnclce ) and some of the others w.re tardy In coming to the convention hmIl . and the result was that 10 o'clock struck before the commIt- tee got together. The session lasted just six minutes by the watch and the only business transacted was the adoption of a resolution recommending the Increase of the state commite to ffy members The usual convention resolutions were adopted and the convention adjourned. The resolutions IrovlJe that there shal be one state commiteeman from each senatorIal district , making Iry In all , Instead of thlrt ) ' . four as now At precisely 12:25 : Ohalrman Ilneldey of the state commitee called the convention to order and 11ev. A. ii. 'ahenstock offered prayer , askIng for peace ant unity. Chairman Hinckley announced that he was directed by the state committee to announce that both sets of delegates from Kings county shoult be placed on the roil and time folowing resoluton was read : Resolved , That In the event of a roll cal of the convention two names be calel ] at the head of the regular democracy and one at time head of the InIep8nllent , organIzaton amI so 01 down ; that In the event of time two or- ganizatons of KIngs county failIng to unite upon a candidate the democratIc orHanlza- 'lion of which Joseph D.

Belmont spoke of the conditions this year as compared with those of last year , mrlng that the political skIes were much hrlghter this 'all. lie paid a compliment to Senator Hi , saying : "The swift change of party power In this state encourage us not to be wlthtut hope , notwithstandIng recent adverse events luch will , " he said , "de- pend on the way we appreciate the lessons of last November , anul , of the past " On the subject of excise , : Ir. , Belmont said : "As to our own state there Is need of salt Immediate reform of certain features of our excise laws. Recent misconstructions of their provisions , coupled whim harsh , arbitrary and unintelligent enforcement thereof have rendered It absolutely necessary to legislate , In order to prevent the repetition of such om- clal tyranny and absurdity. The preachers and churches , the brewers and the saloons , shoul ] act together , formulate , vote for and enforce a reasonable excise law. SobrIety Is very Important , but no more Important than Is personal freedom for sober men to buy , cat and drink . and do what pleases them , If It does not Infringe on the rights of others.

Mr Belmont finished speaking amid much applause at 1:24. : Secretary De Feerst began the reading of the temporary roll cal Immediately. The names of Flower , Shepard , Bell and Ilssel were cheered. SERVED NOTICE OF CONTEST. Contrary to expectations , when th New York distrIct was reached there was no pub- lie notice or a contest until the clerk had read the entire Tammany delegation. During i the readIng the Tammany men looked at' ' each other al' If amazed at the lack of con test but the amazement was ended when , jut as the clerk started Niagara , ex-Secre- Lacy Chules l ' alrchlli arose and said : "I present the contest for thirty-five seats held by the New York delegatIon just read , " There was a burl't of applause that lasted for several minutes and the chairman said : "Heferred to the commlteo on cunLesed teats. " In Queens county ex-Mayor Geason made notice of a contest and when Richmond was called a delegate saId that contesting dele- gatlons there had agreed upon the l'1me representation - I resentation SS had been nereed upon In entaton Kings county , and they tesLr d their names on the 101. Referred to the committee on cretentals. . These were oil time contests Congressman Sulzer moved that the rules of the lal assembly bo adopted. Time usual resolutIons were offered In relation to the appointment of committees. Ex-Mayor Glroy moved that when the convention adjourned , It b lnt 10 a. m. Wednesday. Thre were cries of "no" from the back of the hal , but the resolution was declared carried . Just before the convention adjourned Dr Yorlee of IutJlo offered the following resolu- tioum , which was referrzd to the commItee on 11htorm : \ \ ask of the state legislature to pas a uniform , reasonable lcense law , with a irOVlsO for local option , the revenue of which Icenees shall go to the local poor fund of the cities and town In the state. \\'n further musk that the legislature amen,1 , and mOlly the Sunday laws now on the statute books In such form that the enforcement - forcement thereof will not be oppressive nor obnoxious to any class of our people and not prove destructive to any businell Interest In our state. Such law should be In conformity with the spirit of the constitution - tuton and laws of our country that ( Iuar- ant.o personal liberty and equal rights to all cItizens .

On motion the convention then took a recess - cess untIl 10 o'clock tomorrow morning . TAMMANY GET FOUR TO ONE General Interest centered abut the meet- Ing of the committee on 'rcsoitmtions , where the excise plank was being discussed In ex- ecutl'e sessIon , and about the commitee on credentials , where the New York ant other contests were to be decided I was voted to reserve the mater of the Now York and Kings ) county contests till time settement of time others. Thc chairman announced that the contests In the First , Second and Third districts of Queens was before the commit- tee. Senator lUl moved that the sitting delegates of the district be declared en- titled to their scats , The moton was adollted. Tim committee on credentials adopted a resolution by a vote of thirty-two to seen \ ' - on teen making the representation four-rUths of a vote for Tammany bal anti on-frb for ! time state denlcracy In the New York City contest. Judge Paterson of Brooklyn of- ferell a resoluton giving the state democracy a one-thin representation. A vote was taken and resulcd : Yeas , 13 : nays , 33. The reso- luton adoptell declares the Tammany hal organization rlgular and entitled to seats In time conventon and entitled to recognition at all future conventions . Its delegates are to bo placed upon time preliminary roll . They arc to he time sole misers of the party column awl emblem , In all contests that may arise Tammany Is to he treated as the party or- gaulsation . nut In time interest , of harmony the committee accords a oime.flftim vote to the contestants anti four-flftims to Tammany. I Is i nnderstood nt this hate hour that there will bo n further conference prior to the conventon tomorrow , Whie the committee on contested Slats was hearing the cont' st there was a curious crowd about the door of the room where the platform commitee was _ In seesl n. When that commitee was called to order at I ' them about o'clocl they found confronting twenty oxcls progoeltons from as many sources They nearly all contained time local option clause , however and so time real ques- tion to decide was just : what plain and not ton excitable language the excise plank could he exclahlo langua' < drafted In. Herman HiMer of the Staats Zeltulg , and chalrmau of time German Reform association , was there to urge a liberal plank Time German plank anti a substitute were voted down and after the majoriy of delegates - gates hall decided that the German reform plank In substance , with diferent pimraseoiogy , shuuli be Inserted , a special commitee , con- slating of Sulser , Fioss'er Lynn , Sheppard and . Lockwod , was appointed to draft a plank. Time following Is time platform so far as adopted by time committee tonight : ILATl OHM AGREED UPON. "Tho democratic party of the state of New York , by Its delegates In convention assembled - bled adopts this declaration of principles : "We hold that self-governmuemmt Is the foundation principle of American liberty and of a true lemnocracy We therefore oppose paternalism , socialism and the control of ono class hy another. Each , cItzen has the i right to order hIs own life , provided ho respects - spects time rights of others of the common- I wcaltim . voIced In just iowa , and each community - munity must maintain the same rights as the charter of Its political well being.
