Continued on Pace .) FREE SILVER WILL DOMINATE. Xew York's Democratic State Con vention Will He 11 Lively Affair. ' Uuffalo, Sept. 13. Free silver will domlnute the Democratic convention tomorrow. Candidates, state issues 1. nd all other MUestloiis will be relegated t second place. The platform will de termine the ticket. The extreme sllver Ites hope to out -Oh ion go the Chicago platform nnd thus prevent the nomina tion of u conservative Democrat. This will be opposed by leaders, who desire above all things to prevent a split and the nomlnutiou of a second stale Democratic ticket. Chief among these leaders Is Senator Hill, who will not be here, but whose Influence will be felt. Al! talk of the abandonment of the purty to Its fate by the senior senator is nonsense. He has active lieutenants on the field and the long distance tele phone is part ! tl'c state machine. Here Is th- '.v. For governor.

According to this yarn, the dynamiters intended to reach the prince's house by tunneling: ft 0111 the house opposite. This Is a fair sample of the ridiculous stories con cerning the alleged dynamite plot that are filling many columns of the news papers,, the most of which ure the merest nonsense and would scarcely be credited by the most gullible per son.

Mr. Bryan was in the midst of Ills remarks when the clouds broke. A yell went up from the crowd, numbering at least 2,500, and some ran for shelter, but the majority held their places, huddled close together under a sea of umbrel las. Mr. Bryan said he would stop talking until the rain ceased, but the crowd would not let liliu, and he went on. Among other things he said: If iiuv man hi this coniniiinity would offer to buy all the eggs produced ut " cents a dozen and was able to make good Ihe offer, nobody would sell cgas tor l-'ss, 110 nir.lter wliul the cost of production, win titer 1 cent or 5 cents a dozen.

(Great applause.) And thu unfortunate thing about this campaign Is that the name anurehlst Is applied to the bono and muscle of this country by men who are doing more to overthrow our government than any anarchist who ever carried a red flag. I say that when this one word "An archist" Is applied to the toiling millions by men who exist without toil to usurp the fruits and reap the rewards of those who toll the danger Is that It will make the name respectable because of its asso ciation.
