Tho Loyal League of Democratic Clubs met
last night at the Gerlach Hotel and issued the
following address:
To tht VtmoeraUc State Committee of the State, of
Sew VorA.
"CIkxti.kmkii: Hy a resolution of the late
State Convention of tho Dcmocratlo party your
organization was given authority to select a
candldnto for Chief Judge of tho Court of
Appeals and to Issue In behalf of tho party an
address to the voters In tho election of
No ember, 1807, Prior to your taking
such action, we, tho undersigned voters of the
State of Now York, declaring our fealty to tho
principles of tho Chicago platform, desire to
urgoupon jou tho necessity of nominating a
candldato who was In absolute and avowed har
mony with tho Democratic party In the Presi
dential campaign of 1890 and tho Incorporation
In your address of a full and frank re
afllrmntion of tho principles of tho party
ns enunciated In tho platform adopted by tho
national convention at Chicago. July 0. 1800.
It Is tho unwritten but historic law of all na
tlonil political parties that tho platform
adopted by one notional convention remains
tho political creed of that party until a new
national convention shall amend It, The
platform adopted at Chicago was reaffirmed
by tho Stato convention at which your
committee was created. Your work In the
selection of a enndidate for Chief Judge of the
Court of Appeals, nnd in tho direction of his
campaign is but tho continuation of tba task of
that convention. Should you nominato a can
didnto who refused tn give his vote and his ef
forts according to his abilities to llryan and
Sewnll, or should you refrain from re
iterating tho declaration of principles
adopted by the convention which gavo
you official existence, you would utterly fall to
obey tho will of over 550,000 Democrats of tho
Empire Stato who lojally supported tho nomi
nees of 18110. Therefore, for your honorablo
comrulttoo thero la but one path In tho direction
of party loyalty and political honor tho nomi
nation of a candldato upon whom Is no taint of
treachery and tho reaffirmation of tho princi
ples of tho Dcmocratlo platform of the Chicago
Convention of lBflU."
The League appointed a committee of ten to
attend tho meeting of Attractive members of
the Lcaguo to bo held in Syrncuso on Aug. 12.
Tho League says that It has an organization in
every county in tho Stato.
Chairman Elliott Danforth of tho Democratic
State Committeo was at tbo Manhattan Reach
Hotel last night. Ho and Senator Hill and
others. It was said, nro greatly disappointed be
cause the Republicans refused to "fuse" with
the Democrats on the nomination for a
Chief Judge. Tho Republicans, according
to Mr. Danforth's friends, never had tho slight
est Idea of entering Into a "combine" on tbls
nomination for tbo reason that tho aforesaid
Republicans propose to tight tho battle in tho
State ond Greater Now York on the sound-money
Issue and tho Republican national platform of
1800.
Ex-Senator Hill nnd Senator Murphy havo
conferred on the situation at Long Rranch for
tho last two days, and tho drift of sentiment
favors the nomination of Supreme Court Justice
Alton R. Parkor of Kingston as the candidate of
tho Democratic Statu Committee to be Chief
Judge of the Court of Appeals. The Rryanltes
complain that nobody knows whether or not
Justice Parkor voted for Rryan last fall any
more than anybody knows how Sir. Hill voted.
The most Important bit of information, how
ever, was to the effect that when Richard
Crnkcr arrives In New York ho will come out nnd
declare positively that Tammany should rea Sinn
the Chicago platform of 1400 ns the straight
political Democratic doctrine. This means. It
was said, that Mr. Croker believes that Tam
many should lie "regular" before the next
Democratic National Committee, which is
largely dominated by free-silver. Income tax,
anti-united States Supreme Court Democrats.
Mr. Croker, bv such a more. It was added, would
compel Mr. Hill to show his hand on national
issues, and It was declared there has
never been any particular love lost between Mr.
Croker and Mr. Hill. Senator Murphy, who
was "regular" in tho national fight for Bryan,
Is the warm personal friend of 31 r. Croker.

The Conference Committee of the Republican
Club which was appointed the other night held
a meeting last night at the clubhouse. About
half the committee of twenty was there. The
special committee, of which Col. Charles . Dcn
lson was Chairman, appointed to draft reso
lutions expressing tho views of tho Campaign
Committee on tho local situation, reported as
follows:
Itcnolrtt!, That, recognizing as we do the su
periority of tbo present city administration
over that of any of its Tammany predecessors
and tho transcendent Importance to our party,
the city nnd tho nation of electing a Major of
the Greater New York opposed to Tammany
and Drjnnlsm, we deem the following to be fun
damental propositions for entering upon the
coming campaign:
1. In view- of tho fact that tho Republican
party comprises a large majority of tho voters
opposed to Tammany rule the Mayor should be
a Republican.
2. With respect tothcrettof tho tickets, the
conventions may properly give such representa
tion to other political organizations as tho num
bers of oters they cmhraco equitably entitle
them to. to the end that there shall bo a cordial
uulon nnd cooperation of all tho Anti-Tammany
forces In support of a single ticket.
3. In retching these results, conferences may
firupcrly be held with other political bodies wili
ng to co-opcrato to that end.
1. Thu nomination of candidates should be
made at city, county, and district conventions
respectively, duly called Hnd held nccording to
the constitution and established usages of tho
Republican party.
5. All schemes for forestalling the nctlon of
our conventions brother methods of nominating
candidate-,, and all efforts to force any particu
lar aotlon upon tho Republican party should be
discouraged, and especially at this time, as
tending to prevent Ihodeslred cooperation.
0. While nil nominations should lie deter
mined by tho highest 6tundards of fitness nnd
eligibility, tho nominees should be representa
tive men, and not those who are untried and un
known. Tho report was rend by James W, Hawes.
Richard J, Lewis mado a Ave minutes' speech
against tho resolution. James P. Foster
mado tho point of order that It was not
within tho provlnco of tho Campaign Com
mittee to adopt the resolution at all. The
Chairman oerruIed his point of order and
Jnmca S, Lchmulcr appealod from his decision,
Tho upshot of It was that the resolutions wero
killed by a voto of 11 to 0, not directly, but
through this point of order. During the debate
William Ilrookfleld and John Sablno Smith
mado speeches, and Mr. Smith was some
what excited, lie, waved his hands about
a proceeding which Mr. Ilrookfleld ob
jected to seriously, nnd ho told Mr.
bmlth so after the meeting was over. After the
meeting aevcral members of the committee said
they had resolved ft letter from Congrecsmnn
Oulgg, IhoPrcsldont of tho Republican County
Committee, urging them to pass tho resolution.

STILL ITAliriXO OX WORTH.
Is lbs BrMktjn Leader Lcalag His lrlst '
Rumors r Hla Retirement.
County Clerk Jacob Worth continued to mo-
noDolIze political attention In Brooklyn yester-
day, but there seemed to bo a general consensus
that his chieftainship had suffered a slight)
ccllose and that his props had boeomo somewhat
weakened slnco his return from Saratoga. Tho
frequent conferences ho has had with his lleuten-1
ants during the past throo days are said to havo
convinced him that ho mado ascrious mlstako In
bis attitude of antagonism to tho Stato leader
and the New York organization. Thollrooklyn
papers, in tholr reports on the situation yestor
day, all pictured Mr. Worth as losing ground.
Promlnenco was given to a rumor that Mr.
Worth, In view of his Impaired health and the
plethoric condition of his bank account, had de
termined to retire from the cares of political
leadership at tho closo of the year,
and that Lleut.-Gov. Woodruff was ambitious '
to assumo them. It was also said, In regard to
tho "reports" which Mr. Worth had received
from his factional associates: " While in some
Instances not altogether very favorable, thoy
wero on the whole rainy satisfactory."
An authority for Mr. Worth said! "It Is not
Plain aa yet whethor In his advocacy of Low
Worth consulted tho wishes of his associates.
Some of them aro In a very unpleasant fix to
day, for whllo they would not, for a good deal,
pause ono second in tholr allegiance to Worth,
they feel they cannot ignore tbo wishes of Mr.
Piatt.
Another authority mado this alarming an
nouncement on tho authority of another dlstln
gulsbcd Republican: " Worth is sitting on a
ynamlte bomb and If he doesn't look out It will
explode under him. Piatt can tako tho Kings
county leadership away from him In a day yes,
on tlvo minutes' notice."
Tho Republican statesmen themselves appear
to lay some Btress on tho rumors of Mr. Worth's
prubablo oarly retirement from tho leadership,
lor thoy wero seriously discussing tho question
of selecting his successor. The names of LlouL
Gov. Woodruff, County Register Granville W.
Harman, Silas II. Dutcher, and Election Com
missioner Benjamin F. Ulalr have been most
prominently mentioned, and of theso gentlemen
Mr. Harman, who stands weli both with tho
Worth'and the Willis faction, was most favor
ably considered. City Works Commissioner
Willis Is meanwhile taking advantago of tho
alleged weakening of the Worth lines, and he
and bis friends aro determined, If possible, to
tako a controlling part In tho new combination.
Mr. Worth left for Saratoga, saying that ho
would return again noxt week. Ho was greatly
? leased at the prominence given to him within
be last week by the New York and Brooklyn
newspapers.
Meantime ho will continue, it was said, to
"bluff It out for Low" this motives, it was de
clared, are known in the McLaughlin camp),
and at the propor time delegates to tho City
Convention are to bo elected.

Progressive Democratic League nenud to Slake
Tammany Declare far Them.
Tho conference committeo which was ap-
pointed by the Progressive Dcmocratlo League
to unite all Democrats who bcllevo In the
Chicago platform Into a compact body that can
fight Tammany If Tammany shows any signs of
backsliding held a meeting last night at tho
Rartholdi. Tho meeting was secret. It dis
cussed various methods of going about the work
It has to do. and after the meeting Mr. John
Honey said that It had been decided to confer
with all of the Rryan clubs that exist in tho
Greater New York, and that are not at tho
present tlmo affiliated with Tammany Hall.
Mr. Hosey said:
"The main object of our organization now Is
to force Into tho campaign the Issue of munici
pal ownership and the operation of all munici
pal franchises. Tho city owns the franchises
now. Wo shall Insist, on the lines of the Chicago
platform, that it shall operate tbem. We aro
going ahead with our conferences with the
other clubs and are organizing tbnroughlv
everywhere, so that wo will bo in a position. If
Tammany Hall does not reaffirm the Chicago
platform and does not adopt herself a plank for
the operation of franchises, toperfect our organ
ization in every district, and to constitute our
selves the regular Democratic party of the city
of New York."
Mr. Hosey talked about the gold Democrats a
bit. and be said:
" William C. Whitney and Roswell P. Flower
didn't bolt tho Democratic party because of frco
silver. That had something to do with It, of
course, but not nil: thoy bolted because they
wero afraid of tho platform of municipal opera
tion as well as ownership of franchises. Tho
Democratic sentiment is all drifting in that di
rection. They feared It. That's why they got
out. Wo shall see that there shall bo no dodg
ing on this Issue In particular."

BATTBKHBXP JKA1SR, FORCED OPT
OF BER COVllSE, SINKS A FLOAT.
A Collision with i a Crowded Kiearslon Boat
Thus Averted Meanwhile Another Float
Slaves la the (Ide or the Bseuralsa Boat
Chancellor The Maine Is Sot Damaged
The battleship Maine, Capt. Chnrlcs D. Slgs
boe. In order' to avoid sinking a couplo of ox
ourslori boats that wore loaded to tho rails
wIUi paswngers, ran bow on yesterday Into tho
pier of tho Now York, New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad at tho foot of Jefferson street.
East River, carried nway a portion of the north
sldo ot tho pier, sunk railroad float 121, with
ten loaded freight cars aboard, and drove float
11, In the rear of float 21, Into tho bulkhead,
tearing up a section of South street, but re
ceived no damago horsolf except to have a good
bit of palnl scraped off her sldec. In some
thing less than ten minutes the battleship dam
aged railroad property to tho extent of about
14,000.
The ilalno was on her way from Fisher's Isl
and, in tho vicinity of which she has been cruis
ing for ten days, to her anchorago off Tomp
klnsvllle, 8. I. Proceeding under half steam,
tho battleship was threading her wayldown
stream among the river craft. When she was
about opposite Pier 40, a block above Jefferson
street, tho lookout shouted:
"Steamer dead ahead!"
The officer of tho deck came forward and
saw the Mallory lino steamer Colorado, Capt,
Gcorgo Risk, attended by the tug Jack Ever
ett, Capt, Edward Urandow, coming up stream
very slowly. Just as the Malno was about to
signal her courso the Colorado blew three
whistles, which, being interpreted, means:
"I will keop to tho right."
"I will try tho same courso," was the Maine's
answer, expressed In ship talk by ono blast of
the whistle.
All would havo been well then, had not the
excursion boat Isabella, with a largo party
aboard, bound up tho river for a sail on tho
Sound, come along, passing tho Colorado on
tho port side, Capt. SIgsbec, who had by this
Unio taken personal direction of tho Maine,
ordered tho Isabella to bo signalled to keep to
the right. Tho signal was given, but, accord
ing to the statements of those who wero watch
ing tho movements of tho battleship and tbo
excursion boat from tho piers In tho vicinity,
tho excursion boat kept right on her course.
Tho Colorado In the mean tlmo was trying to
shapo her courso so as to warp into tho dock
of the New York Dry Dock nnd Repair Com
pany at l'lar 42, which she was about opposito
when the Isabella started to pass bcr. In
veering her bow slightly toward tho west
shore, tho Isabella, which was on the wrong
Bide of the steamer anyway, also boro In the
samo direction. The result of this change of
course was to place the excursion boat directly
in the path of the battleship. Seeing that tho
Isabella did not or would not understand his
signals, Capt. Slgsbcs) realized that, unless
something was dono. and that quickly, tbo
Malno and tho Isabella would soon be in colli
sion, with tho probable result that the excur
sion boat would go to tho bottom and many of
hor passengers would bo drowned.
Then, with aa Httlo show of excitement as if
his ship wero lying In the roadstead off Fortress
Monroe, Capt. digsbee ordered that tho engines
bo reversed and tho wheel put hnrd-a-port, Tho
Maine was mauoauvred so quickly that those
looking on from tho shore wero amazed. It
Beomod impossible that so largo a ship could
make such quick worK of coming about. As
she turned, almost a If on a pivot, there wero
cheers from the river craft for tho ship and for
the seamanship displayed.
As soon aa tho prow of tho Maine was turned
toward tho west shore of the river, tho bells In
tho engine room signalled to go ahead nnd tho
battleship was steered directly for the railroad
pier. The eyes of everybody, afloat and ashore,
wero on tho man-of-war. It was certain that
a Dart ot the pier, and possibly tbo pier shed,
would be carried awny. Rut It was also cer
tain that a collision, with tho possible loss of
many Uvea, had been averted, because, as tho
Maine boro hood on toward the pier, tho Isa
bella passed the battleship, barely four feet
clear of the man-of-war's stern.
Lying alongside of the pier and to tho north
of it lay float 21, with ten loaded freight cars
upon It. In tho rear of float 21. and about
twenty feet away from tbe bulkhead. lay float
11, also loaded with ten freight cars. Along
side float 11 lay the llttlo schooner G. T. Mc
Dowell from Perth Amboy. A hundred feet
further north, at pier 48, lay the full rigged
snip Mcljuirln from Hong Kong. It w-as but a
moment before the crash of tho battleship
against tho pier came. Tho prow of the man-of-war-cut
in between tho pier and float 21. sev
ering tho hawsers that made fast the float to the
pier, rarrylng away about 100 feet of the pier,
from the river end shoreward, nnd smashing the
end of the float.
As toon as the battleship struck her engines
wero reversed, nnd then they were stopped al
together, tho Maine Ijlng wedged between the
pier shed and tho cars of tho float, which had
sunk almost as soon as struck, leaving only
the cars abovo water. Tho impact drove float
11 against tho bulkhead with such force as to
stave In the heavy tlml-ers nnd tear up tho
pavemont of tho street. It also set the llttlo
nchooner adrift nnd drove float 21 ocr
against the port sldo of tho McLaurin with a
bans.
Whllo tho Maine was turning to runlnto the
pier tugboat 0, belonging to tho New York,
New Haven and Hartford road, was coming
down the river with two floats. At the samo
time tho excursion boat Chancellor, Capt. Hud
son, with 400 members of tho Thomas J. Kelly
Association, bound for College Point, came up
tho river. Tho turning of the Malno and tho
veering to starboard of tho Colorado when tho
Isabella camo up crowded tho tug with Its
floats nnd tho Chancellor toward tho east
shore. One of tho floats bumped the excursion
boat with such force ns to carry away the upper
guard rail Just forward of tho paddlebox, ond
to stavo in tho side. The collision caused a
Sanlo on the Chancollor, but only ono person,
ohn Kelly, wan Injured. Ills leg was frac
tured. Tho Chancellor was in no condition to
tako tho party back, so tho ferryboat F. P.
James was pressed Into service.
The Malno, after Capt. Slgsbeo had assured
himself that the pier was all that hail been
seriously damaged, contlnuod Ion nj tho river
to her anchorage

fwgaRy When a man
;i3gy' starts out to run
Sfe a foot-race with
JVV) death it is a fore
Pftjy Rone conclusion
B5Ay that he will be
CQ ignoniiniously
beaten. The
.man who over
IJI works, and at
fft .- the same time
, , , , y neglects his
health, is running a foolish loot-race with
death. The man who has overworked,
overworried and neglected himself until
he has that dread disease, consumption,
and who then tries to escape it by chang
ing from one climate to another, is also
running a foot-race and a desperate
one with death.
When a man is overworked or over
worried, he should take Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discover'. It is the
best of all known tonics, both for the
body, brain and nerves. It is an infalli
ble preventive of consumption, and nerv
ous and wasting diseases. It corrects all
digestive disorders and makes the appe
tite keen and hearty. It makes rich,
pure blood and builds firm, solid flesh.
It cures 98 per cent, of all cases of con
sumption, as well as bronchitis, asthma,
nas.il catarrh, weak lungs, and all dis
eases of the air-passages. Druggists sell
it, and if honest will not try to defraud
you with a substitute,
"One vear ago this month," writes Miss Ads
Cover, or North Wales, Montgomery County, Pa.,
" I thought I was going into consumption The
physician whom I employed failed to help me in
anv way. When I liogan to take I)r Pierce's
Rolden Medical Discovery I used to spit fifteen
to twenty handkerchiefs full a day. I had pain
in my shoulders, clue and chest day and night,
and was weak all the time. When I asked the
doctors If ever I wotdd get well, they would only
siy, -live in hope.' If It had not been for Dr.
Pierce's medicines I would be under the ground
now. I cannot thank Dr. Pierce enough, nor
prav for him enough "
