At Jacksonville , he said , the rcpoi

SYRACUSE , N. Y. , Sept. 28. The chaotlo
condition of the delegations to the demo
cratic HttUe convention at midnight wns ac
centuated by a contest precipitated by the
acllon of the committee on credentials in
confirming ttio sitting delegate * ) In the three
districts of Krlo and seating the delegated
of the First nnd Third of Monroe. This
acllon If approved would probably give con
trol of the next state commluteo to ex-Sen
ator Hill , and at midnight tonight It wns
alleged that Mr. Croker and Tummany would
fight ) the adoption of the report on the Uoor
of the convention tomorrow. It Is also as
serted that the Tammany delegates , finding
he up-stato sentiment strongly ugaliiHl Van
iVyck , have thought of taking up Judge I ) .
lady Hcrrlck of Albany ns their candidate
o prevent ex-Senator Hlfl nominating Mr.
jtauchflcld and to combat uny Idea that
1111 has defeated Croker.
At midnight It Is generally conceded that
Mr. Dnnforth will go lnt\ > the convention
with moro votes than any other candidate
> ut not enough to nominate. The tftanch-
lold boom has grown rapidly tonight and
many Tnmmnny men are tttlklng of It. All
light the leaders bavo been fighting hard
nnd there Is promise of a heated session
omorrow unless some understanding Is ar
rived at.
'iho tight seems to bo between the dele
gates below the Bronx nnd those above It
and so for the latter nro In the ascendancy.
It is probable that the convention will
finish by tomorrow night. It Is not pos
sible nt midnight to give any Idea of the
names that will probably go on the ticket.
To some newspaper men tonight Mr. Orokcr
said Mayor Van Wyck was not a candidate ,
but there Is no general Indication that he
baa been withdrawn permanently.
Silver to lie Shelved.
The only thing decided finally upon to
night and not subject to change tomorrow
Is that Micro will not bu any mention of
the Chicago national platform nor of silver.
Long before the platform committee met
there wore Indications that this wns so.
In the convention Dclegnto J. C. Pierce of
Monroe offered n resolution endorsing the
Chicago platform , but wns not allowed to
spenk upon It nnd It was not read. Still
later In the day the silver adherents ap
plied to the committee on resolutions to
put in a plank of endorsement , but mot
with refusal. The result of all this wnn a
meeting of a number of wllver men nnd the
selection of .1 state ticket which they claim
they will put In the field If they arc not
recognized. The 'proposed ' ticket Is :
For governor , William Clark of Oswego ,
lieutenant governor , Charles B. Matthews of
Krle ; secretary of state , A. C. Flskc of
New York ; comptroller , Levl S. Lewis of
Albany ; state treasurer , John G. Boyd of
New York ; attorney general , A. D. Welles
of Broome ; state engineer , Martin Schcnck
of Rensselaer.
There were uomo other phases of the sil
ver question which were qulto nmuslng nnd
displayed scientific politics upon the part
of these In charge of the party affairs , who
nro for a state platform without mention of
national Issues. It was called to the atten
tion that Hosea II. Rockwell of Chemung.
who presided today over the committee on
platform , baa always been n silver democrat
nnd yet will have to read from the stage of
the convention a platform devoid of nny
commendation of the Chicago platform.
Then late In the afternoon It was announced
that the selection for permanent chnlrman
of the convention had fallen upon Froderlch
Schruub of Jefferson , who was n candidate
for state senator on the silver-democrat
ticket two years ago.
This Silver AVInir.
When the sllvor democrats heard of those
Ironical movements on the part of the demo
crats they refused to tnlk , but there Is every
Indication to believe that their support I *
somewhat weakened by these moves. To
gether with their newly made slate of can
didates they also have a very brief platform ,
which recites an prominent planks :
Reatfinnatton of the Chicago platform ;
abolition of tolls for traveling on public
highways ; all state revenues to be derived
from tbo ( succession on Inheritance tax ;
opposition to the proposed amendment to the
state constitution proposing niennlal ses
sions of the legislature by direct legisla
tion. The national treatment of the soldlor (
la proclaimed against. Tim democr'n\lr. '
pnrty IH Justly proud of the bravery of
our soldiers nnd proud that the war hai
ended with so much glory to our people ,
but In the hour of victory the people are
compelled to bow their heads In disgrace
and humiliation over the treatment of the
soldiers , duo to the Incompetence of heartlexa
government officers. Thorn had been prom-
cCj ) td Inveftlguio , bu' there was only cno
way and that wnn to turn the officers down
nnd out nnd let the democrats do the In
vestigating. A plank In the platform to
which tbo framorft nttach great Importance
as n weapon agalnsl Colonel Roosevelt la
a declaration against candidates who swear
off their taxes.
Convention MeetN ,
The convention met at noon today ,
absolutely without a slate or prosiam orheir
than the temporary orpnul/ntlou agreed
upon In the state committee last night' . ' H
Is In many respects the irost remarkable
