MARTIN SOHENCK .Sur.aml ISnj*. Saratoga; Sept. 16. — Boswell P. Flower will lead the Democratic hosts of New York to victory this fall. lie was practically unanimously nominated this morning amid the greatest enthusi nsrn ever known to a Democratic con vention in Saratoga. The convention was called to order at 10 a. m. The committee on contested seats decided in most cases to give the contestants a half representation, but Tammany was given full representation in New York city, to the exclusion of the county Democracy. The pre amble and resolutions of the com mittee on credentials recite the irreg ular action of the County Democracy, and declare the right of Tammany Hall to nominate all the inspectors of elec tion, poll clerks and ballot clerks to which the Democratic party may be en titled In the city of New York. After the decision in regard to the County Democracy was presented, the commit tee on resolutions reported The Platform i the chief planks in which are: The Democratic party of the state of New York, in convention assembled, renews the pledges of its fidelity to Democratic fuitn and as regards national Issue, reaffirms the doctrine of the national form of 1384 and 188, indorsed by the popular votes in those years, and bo overwhelmingly ratified by the popular verdict in the congressional 'elec tions of is<ki. We now. as then, steadfastly adhere to the principles of sound finance. We are against tne coinage of any dollar which is not of the intrinsic vaiuc'of every other dollar of the United States. We, there, fore, denounce the new Sherman silver law uiider which one-tenth of our go.'d stock hns been exported and all our silver is damned jsp at home as a false pretense, but artful hindrance ol return to free bi-metallic coin age and as tending only to produce a change from one kind of monometallism to another. We therefore unite with the friends of honest money everywhere in Bttgmatizing the Shcrinflii progressive silver basis law "as uo solution of the gold . and silver question and as a fit . appendix to the subsidy and bounty swindle, the >IcKinley worse-than-war-tarlff, the Blame reciprocity humbug, the squandered surplus, the advancing deficit, tne defective census, the falsified representation and the revolu tionary procedures of the billion congress — all justly condemned by the people's great uprising last November— a verdict which, renewed next year, will empower Democratic statesmen to guide the people's councils and to execute the people's will. The Interests ol' Labor should be fostered by proper and necessary legislation. Honest workingmen and work ingwomen should be protected from compe tition with convict labor. The Hi-publican party having had control of the legislature almost continuously for many years, has withheld the necessary legislation required to adequately accomplish such purposes, and in this connection we denounce the failure of the Republicans last winter to enact the so-called Itiley bill desired by the working men of the state, which had passed the Dem ocratic assembly and which had for its object the further restriction of convict labor com petition. We favor legislative provision for a proper exhibit from this state at the world's Colum bian exposition to be held in Chicago in 1893, and we especiallycommend the measure to eecure that object which was passed by the Democratic assembly last spring, but which a Republican senate with surprising re luctance, alter Its successful efforts to locate the fair in Chicago, refused to enact. This country has always been the refuge of the oppressed of every land — for con science sake— and the spirit of the founders of our government. \\ c condemn the op pression and expatriation practiced by the {ussian government on its Jewish citizens, and we call upon our national government, In the interest of justice and humanity, by all just and proper means, to use its prompt'and best ell'orts to bring about a cessation of these cruel persecutions in the dominions of the czar, and to secure to the oppressed equal rights. We heartily indorse the able"hnd states manlike administration of (Joy. D. B. Hill during his seven years as chief executive of tne state. He has absolutely maintained the principles of the Democratic party, and has faithfully contended for the -interests of the people, and has ably Resisted tlic Aggression of successful ■ Republican legislators whose object has been only partisan advantaee, and he has been a linn and unrelent ing foe to vicious and corrupt legisla tion. In his administration of state affairs he nas received the intelligent and conscien tious co-operation of his Democratic associ ates In the state departments, their joint ef fort has put the state practically out of debt and left a generous surplus in the treasury. Efficiency ana economy have marked their cthcial records. We " respectfully submit that this faithful discharge of responsibilities justifies a continuance of the trust imposed iv the Democratic party, of which they have been true representatives. ' Upon motion of Mr. Griffin the plat form was adopted with cheers. The following, offered by Mr. Cantor, of New York, was also passed: Resolved, That this convention views with Erntiiiention the growing friendly feeling to wards the Democratic party of our colored fellow-citizens in this state; and they are welcomed to our ranks, with the assurance that within our party discrimination on ac count of race or color is discountenanced. Then Thomas F. Gilrey moved to proceed with nominations, and Mayor Porter nominated Rokwcll P. Flower, for governor. In the course of his speech he said that the Democracy of the state at their primaries and district gatherings, with a unanimity rarely equaled, have pronounced their choice of the person whom they desire to be made their leader by the 'delegates to the convention. He closed with a t-ketch of Mr. Flower's career. The ballot resulted: Flower 334, Capin 43. As the tumult attending the an nouncement of the vote subsided in re luctant waves of applause, it left stand ing on his feet among the Kings county delegation its chairman, Charles P. Adams, of Brooklyn. "I arise," he said, when recognized, "to move the unanimous -nomination of Rosewell P. Flower." The scene that followed. was stirring, indeed. ■ and it was 6Oine time before Mr. Adams, ; who re mained standing, could be • heard.' When quiet prevailed, he added, ••While we of Kinks return nome with a feeling that their just claims of the De mocracy of New ¥ork state have not been properly recognized, we neverthe less will go back to a constituent D<? r mocracy which has never faltered in .support, of a Democratic candidate and will not non\" This was the caus<; of renewed and wild enthusiasm. Mr. k Adama' motion was udopted. All the other candidates were Nominated I itaiiimoutly. Nothing remained for the convention to do. Its work was finished. There was nothing lo"delay adjournment, save the desire of the party to see its candi dates. Soon after 2 o'clock the commit tee sent to conduct Mr. Flower entered the hall, aiwl while every man stood on his chair and shouted, the candidate ad vanced to the platform with smiles on his face. When the shouts of applause had worn off sufficiently so that Mr. Flower could make himself heard he spoke briefly, saying that he was will ing to have "the litrht turned on" his record. He accepted the nomination and promised to lead the party to vic tory. The applause that followed Mr. Fiower's address did not die away, but was inereed into growing shouts, mingled with the name of "Shechan." The scene was dramatic, and the rosy faced Sheehan mounted totheDlatfonn, where Mr. Flower advanced with out stretched hands to meet him at the threshold, in full view of the conven tion the leaders of the ticket then shook hands and engaged in a few words of hearty greeting. Mr. .Sheehan then ad dressed the convention. At the con clusion of Mr. Sbeehan's address the convention, amid great cheering, ad journed sine die. Mr. Mower sent in his resignation as member of the Fifty-second congress this afternoon. His successor in the Twelfth district will be chosen iv No vember. Bnrchard AVas There. One of the most notable figures that passed up the aisles of U'.e old rink this morning was that of an elderly gentle man with gray sliirht side-whiskers, wearing a black silk hat with a wide cloth band, thoroughly well dressed, and carrying a cane and a benignant smile. Many politicians and others nudged each other and whispered loud ly, "That's Burchard." Jt was Key. Dr. Burchard. of New York, and on all sides where he was recognized he met the dialling which greeted him in a genial, hearty way. "What ate you doing here, doctor ?" laughingly asked a prominent Demo crat who recognized him. "Aren't you glad to see me here?" was tbe clergyman's laughing rejoinder. "We are. we are," came in a chorus of laughter from a party of the doctor's acquaintances near. The larger pan of the county Dem ocracy went home yesterday disgusted with the result or their efforts to get seats in the convention. A significant thins was the fact that the resolution which was ottered after the report of the committee on contest ed seats, giving Tammany Hall the only recognition inside of the convention or outsido as the tegular Democratic or ganization for the county of New York, was adopted l>y a viva voice vote, ap parently unanimous, out proceeding al most wholly trom the Tammany seats. Not a protest of any sort came from Kings or Albany, or buy ot the other counties from which support for the county Democracy was expected. When the platform was read Gen. Tracey, oi Albany, manifested nnu-h uneasiness, rising in his seat so that he could hear every word until the silver clause was safely passed. When a big Tammany outburst of applause had fol lowed this — the loudest and most demonstrative frreeUng given to any thing in the platform — he sat down with an air of relief and immersed himself n his newspaper.

We are unalterably opposed to the unlimited coinage of silver by this country, excepting upon a uniform international ratio to gold and under similar restrictions ami con ditions, both as to the government and indi viduals, ns prevail in other leading nations; of the world. \Ve condemn the Democratic party for its indorsement of free silver in the party platforms of Ohio, lowa, Indiana, Mic higan and eighteen other stales. We again atlinu our unwavering fidelity to the American system of protection and our belief in its inestimable value to the interests of the country. We congratulate the country that the experience of less than a twelve month has already proved that, instead of being fraught with disaster, as falsely pre dicted by our opponents, the tariff legislation of the la'ht congress has resulted it; the great est prosperity to the business interests of every section of the country.

"The poor fellow has been in prispn almost twenty years," said Mr. Pinkerton, "and he is, I think, sufficiently punished for li ls crime. The forgery is one of the greatest on record. Bidwell and his brother formerly ran a candy store on Madison street in this city. They went away and finally conceived the plan of looting the Bank of England. A num ber of bills of exchange were counter feited, and 11,000.000 was secured on them. The forgery was discovered,and the police went" to work. Previously I had furnished the London police with photographs of the gang, and by these they were enabled to fix the crime where it belonged." Austin Bidwell made his escape to Cuba, where Pinkerton caught him. in com pany with his bride. Bidwell escaped, but was recaptured and taken to England, wher? he was tried and sen tenced in 1574. A cipher letter to Bid well gave a clue which led to th« recov ery of (250,000 of the money, which had been converted into United States bonds. In the meantime the older Bid well brother had been captured in Scot land and was sentenced for life. Be coming paralyzed while in prison, his pardon was procured. Since tuat time he and other members of the family have been tireless in their efforts to se cure the release of Austin, who was but twenty-five years of age when he was sentenced.

John Mao- Kay and Mr. Dey, the late Mrs. Eair'a men of business, estimate the value of her estate at. $6,000,0P0. The will is nut to be opened until after the funeral, but its provisions -are known. To her two sons, James G. Fair Jr. and Charles Fair, she leaves but a comparatively small amount. When the separation between Mrs. Fair nnd the senator took place one of the things igreed on was that he was to care for the sons while she cared for the girls. That is how it happened that so little of her fortune goes to them. The great residue of the estate Is . to be divided equally between the two daughters, Mrs. Herman Oel richs and Virginia Fair. Their fort unes, like their brothers' portion, are to be in the hands of trustees, and the in come only is to go to them, at least for some years. There are no bequests to churches or charitable institutions. ' [FOR THE CONFERENCE. George Haz/.ard Secures a - Re duced Rate for the Methodist Delegates. BK3B jBH George H. Ilazzard, chairman of the committee on railroads of the Minne sota Methodist Episcopal conference, to be held at Ked Wing, commencing Sept. 30, has received notice from Chairman W. W. Finley, or the Western States Passenger association, that the Omaha, Burlington, Milwaukee, Albert Lea and Kansas City will make a rate of one and one-third fare for the round trip. Lay members and visitors haviue to chango cars at junction points should get a cer tificate for each ticket purchased and present it to Rev. S. B. Warner at the conference for his signature. This will entitle the holder to return for one third fare if full fare was paid on going. The Great Northern, Northern Pacific, Soo and St. Paul & Duluth have been asked to make the same rate, and they will probably grant the request. 6EVERAL PAPERS SUED.

PAni';, Sept. 16.— The priformnnee of "Lohengrin" commenced at s o'clock this evening. The precincts of the opera house were crowded, but up to that time only a slight attempt had been made to create disorder, which the police easily suppressed. The police had .strict orders to take energetic action if necessary. The "claque" seats were occupied by detectives, all the ap proaches to the corridors were oc cupied by police, and an Inspec tor stood by each check taker to scrutin ize incomers. Mounted Republican guaras kept the streets clear. The house was crowded, there being no spe cial difficulty in obtaining admission. The overture was listened to in pro found silence, the audience breaking into rapturous applause at the con clusion. The opera was admirably mounted and finely rendered VanDyck and other artists were recalled several times and applauded to the echo, ["here was a noisy demons! ation outside the opera house during the performance. By 9 o'clock tho scene outside the opera house was of the liveliest ilesci ip tion. The pavement was almost in passable, nnd there was a sprinkling of anarchists and other rough characters in the crowd that thronged it. A baud of students sanir the ".Marseillaise," the crowd responding with cries of '•Vl\«> L» Franco." "A bas \\ aguer." Portions Of tlie mob continually made rashes against tin- po lice cordon, and the police, whenever these incursions beeama formidable, as sumed the offensive and charged the mob, which would take to flight in hot hastt?. Then the singing and shooting would soon be renewed and the t II and charges repeated. In some the zeal ot (be police seemed to outrun their discretion. In sev eral instances respectable onloa were rough!; bandied and arrested on the slightest provocation, and then cuffed if they ventured to make the mildest protest. Fully 350 persons* had been arrested by 10 o'clock.. Then a force of cavalry and mounted police forcibly patrolled the scene of the dis turbance and a more determined effort to clear the streets was made— an effort meeting with considerable success. From first to last there was no really dangerous feature about the disturb bance. The crowd was apparently mainly composed of people curioui witness any demonstration that might be made. Inside the opera hOQSC critics objected to the length of the second act and a portion of the audience found the recitatives with which "Lohengrin" abounds wearisome, but, nevertheless, the audience generally appreciated the sinking. - The performance was concluded with out trouble, and the work was pro nounced a irreat artistic success, iiioicrh its popularity with an audience accus tomed tn lighter fare is doubtful. Many in the audience went out on the steps between the acts to witness the scenes outside, and were received wim rounds of Irsscs. At the conclusion of the performance 700 policemen were still occupied in clearing the streets, which were then fa^t emptying. Num.' free lights were reported here and there, but no one was hurt. Altogether %bout 1,000 persons were arrested, but all will probably be liberated before morning. The German embassy was strongly guarded throughout the night, .v party of 800 rough* smashed the windows of the Utorman cafe Han ovre. The streets soon resumed theh normal aspect. A curious incident oc curred in the course of the evening. One of the men arrested, on i taken to the police station, announced himself as a Russian. He was forth wiiii liberated with a bow and a polite "passez, monsieur." THE SPANISH HOUHOR. Sickening Keports From thi* Scene of the <iroat Flood. Madrid, .^ept. 16.— Further d ing particulars in regard to the . provinces continue to be received at long intervals, each additional report showing that the extent of the d has in no way been exaggerated. The latest information is from Jaen, of the province of the same name. The governorof the province telegraphs that the whole commune of Aubeda is sub merged; that the damage dune i-, enormous, and that there has b. • slderable loss of life. The correspond ents of the Spanish and foreign news papers who have been aale to reach Consuegra describe It as "a city of the dead." On every side are terribl of destruction. The rumbling of the deatn cart grates horribly upon the ear as those ghastly vehicles convey their sickening loads to the common trenches dug for their reception. The a everywhere are torn up, wnshedout and tilled with all kinds of wreckage. Hu man remains, stray limbs and he trunks are seen protruding from heaps of mud-covered wreckage. The depth of the flood at Consuegra can be gauged from the fact that the water rose eighteen feet in the Chu rch of St. John the Baptist. An estimate made of the damage to property in and about C'onsupgra places the lost 500,000. The survivors of the d give vague and confused accounts of the rise and onward sweep of the ing water which wrought such deadly havoc. They say, however, thai though, the river was noticed to be rising rapidly, no serious apprehension was felt until the waters seemed to make a sudden nisii forward, threatening to overwhelm, and eventually overwhelming everything. Then came a wild race for life. Many climbed upon the roofs of the hois b, hoping to escape, but the buildings gave way beneath them as the swollen waters swept through the town, con signing hundreds to death In the wreck aceiaden stream.

Children Throw ICoscm at thu Km* peror'ii I«'eet. .Mink ir, Sept 16.— The emperor of Germany to-day started from Erfurt for Mulhauson. The road to the railroad station was lined with children, who cheered the imperial visitor and threw flowers aexoea his path. After inspecting varioofl troops the em peror formally entered Mulhausen on horseback riding at the head of his staff. lli^ majesty was pleased to find the main thoroughfares draped with bunting and flowers and spanned in many places by triumphal arches bearing loyal and patriotic mottoes and designs. in addition, the main thor oughfare was lined by a detachment of veteran Boldiera of the wars ot i- ■'. and liSTO. The emperor will remain at Mul hansen until Saturday, when he will probably return to Berlin. The Emperor's upeech at Erfurt, as reported in the Berlin Post, caused a heavy declißJ to-day in all Imperial and Prussian stocks. The telegraph officials In some cases refused to transmit tele grams giving the emperoi speech as the reason for the decline. The oflhial version of the Bpevch published in the Jteichsanzciger modifies tho Post's porasiug. According to this ver sion the emperor said "Corsican con queror," Instead ol "< rsican parvenu," as tb< Post has it, and some other dif ferences are noticeable. Still, the speech has a warlike tone, recalling the emper or's earlier manner. THE ZA.VZIBAK DISASTKII. Details of the Annihilation of ZiUcwski's Command. Bf.iii.in. Sept. I(s.— The Colonial Blatt, of this city, poblianes further details from Zanzibar in regard to the disaster - which has ovcrtaU'eu the German expe dition under command nf CaptZ*lewski. The additional details lust received show that while Cap. Zalewskt's ex pedition was at Wnhehe, the chief rul ing over that district promised friend ship to the Germans, but he subse quently robbed thirty members of the expedition at Mwapa. As B result of this breach 1 of faith the German forces stormed the fortress or strong hold of the chiel and succeeded in capt uring it. While Capt. Zalewski later on w:n marching further inland into the Wahehe coudtry, his command was sur prised by the natives and almost anni hilated, Lieut.
