Parker, who was president In 1S05 of the I'nlted Stales National Hank of New York, was called as a witness for the prosecution, when the trial of Luke former president of the Potsdam National Rank was resumed In the I'nited States Court this morning.

He acknowledged an acquaintance with Mr. I'sher, the defendant, dating back to 1WI, and admitted that the bank of. which he was president acted as New Yok correspondent for the defunct bank of Potsdam.

Parker of Potsdam. Assistant Attorney General under Harrison's administration, and a director of the Potsdam National Hank during the years 1SU4. ISM and 1S36, followed on the witness stand. He was shown official reports for those years, issued by the bank to the Comptroller. He remembered having had his attention called to an Item in the reports specifying a liability of the defendant, but could not remember when his attention so drawn.

The official reports of the bank reached him. he declared, after they were mde out and verified'. He never examined the books of the bank to learn if the reports were correct. BANK EXAMINER TESTIFIES. Joslah Van Vranken.

United States Hank Examiner since ISM, and receiver of the defunct Potsdam bank, was called. The last examination of the Potlsdam bank, prior to its failure, was made in January. 196, a year before the bank failed. He was assigned to take charge of the bank on January 26. the day after the bank closed.

After examining the bank's affairs, he gave Mr. Usher what he termed a statement of his (Usher's) individual liabilities. Attorney Glnn objected to so broad a characterization. The witness enumerated several Iwms, setting forth the fact that among these alleged liabilities were four notes which Mr. Usher declined to assume.

Deducting their aggregate amount from the total, J174. 147.79. left the total of the defendant's alleged personal Indebtedness to the bank at Mr. Close took up of the notes which went to make up the J146.0O1.4O. He sought, by showing that they were Issued by relatives and employes of the defendant, that Mr.

Usher had thus borrowed money from the hank greatly in excess of the amount 120.000) which he was permitted by law to borrow. ALTERED THE REPORT.

ported Bryan and Sewall. Mr. McDonald charged that the leaders of the Democracy In the State misrepresent the masses, and he said: "If the Democratic party tomorrow, as represented In convention is not Democratic, then we have a right to organize a Democratio party." He stated that the sliver Democrats of the Htate had the assurances from two-thirds of the National committeemen, that such an organization would have the recognition of the next National convention, adding: "We will recognized." W. B. Pierce of Monroe county, the next speaker, called attention to the election of Congressmen this fall and the election of a United States Senator by the Legislature that will be elected this fall, and scouted the claim that National Issues did not properly form a part of the campaign.

"Our only course," he said, "Is to stand by the principles adopted at Chicago, and not to trust the men who betrayed the party In 18M, and who are now at Syracuse to break into the Democratic partv tn cider that they may betray It in 1898." Clarence Ladd Davis of Brooklyn announced on opening his address that: "We will make the Gold Democrats take water tomorrow." Continuing, he said: "If there Is a Democratic party In New York, the people of the West and South say to usj, prove It, and we will say to the Democrats who did not, You are not Demo, crats, but have simply stolen the livery of Democracy with which to serve the In eoncluslon, Mr. Davis said the silver Democrats would Bay to the gold men: "When you refuse to affirm the Chicago platform you will be the bolters and not us, and we will send you howling into oblivion." And the whoops and yells that followed Indicated that the crowd meant It. Of today's convention, of whtefc Croker is boss, Hoa, George Palmer of Schoharie Is to be temporary chairman. ard Croker had their final conference this morning, and It Is said they are going to wait and see who develops the most strength In the convention before they pitch upon the man for the head of the ticket.

Sept. Democratic Stat convention convened here at noon today. It is In many respects the most remarkable political convention ever held. Richard Croker, David B. Hill, Senator1 Murphy and Senator McCarren.

representing Hugh McLaughlin, have had frequent conferences, but no agreement has been reached as to any candidate. These conferences have ben conducted upon apparently friendly lines. At 12:32 Chairman Elliot Danforth called the Democratic convention to order. The crowd gathered here Is undoubtedly the largest ever seen at a Slate I Is thronged to Its utmost capacity and hundreds of struggling men are massed outside the entrance endeavoring to gain admission. Tammany Hall Is very largely represented, fully 2000 representatives of that organisation belnd here, GL'SSIE GOLDEN'S STOCK SEIZED.

28 "Unless the Chicago platform is recognized as the fundamental doctrine of the Democratic party by the Democratic party of New York, In convention assembled, there will be a second ticket, a real Klmon Pure Democratic ticket, to oppose Croker, Hill and Murphy's ticket." This Is the ultimatum ot the. silver Democrats of the State of New York, led by the unscared champion of 16 to 1, Ole Snyder of Bdflalo, and "SUver Plate" McDonald of New York City. Croker came yesterday and the 50 car loads of New York Democracy with the emblazoned tiger, but It did not scare the Bryan knights. The silver men would not be downed. The mass-meeting of Chicago platform Democrats at the Alhamhra last night was attended by about 3K0 people, who manifested a hearty approval of the sentiments expressed by the speakers.

These were in effect that the sliver element of the party would demand of the convention today that the Chicago platform be unequivocally affirmed, and men placed In nomination who voted for Bryan and Bewail. Ole Snyder ot Buffalo presided, and Thomas Cantwell of Albany acted as secretary of the meeting. Henry M. McDonald of New York, chairman of the executive committee of the Chicago platform organization, was the first speaker. He said that It was not at the present time the purpose of the meeting to found an Independent party, but that It was simply a meeting of Democrats to exercise the common right of citizens tn make a demand.

This demand, he said, would be that the Democratic convention recognize the Chicago platform as the Democratic doctrine in such distinct terms that every citizen of the United States shall knoT) that the platform is affirmed In Us It would alsobe demanded, he said, that every candidate named by the convention be a man who openly aup- BOOM FOR TITUS. Trying to Get the Leaders to Concentrate on the Erie County Man, furrriAT. To THK rvrvixr erw SYRACUSE, Sept. 28 SyracuseTs" jammed this morning with additional crowds of Democrats. It Is the biggest political convention that has been held In this city-slnce 1SS2, when Orover was nominated for Governor.

Everything Is In chaos as to the head of the ticket. There was a good deal of Herrick talk last night, but his. candidacy 1s frowned upon because all the Herrick talk comes from the Tammany men. This makes the other delegates suspicious and alert against any flank movement of Tammany to nominate a candidate of their choice under the guise of an up State man. Senator Hill Is on the Albany delegation.

When he consented to go, it was understood Herrick would not be a candidate, but as soon as the Albany delegation arrived here Her-rlcK blossomed out as a full-fledged candidate, and If his name Is presented To the convention Senator Hill may or may not vote for him. Van Wyck stock also took a start again this morning, but In his candidacy there ts nothing serious or dangerous to the other candidates because It really has no foundation with the Tammany or Kings county leaders. The friends of Judge Titus are plowing away for all they are worth to have Hill, Croker and 'Murphy name him as the man. There Is no doubt but Judge Titus has a strong sentiment at work In his favor, and his chances are good, and he is In direct line to get the nomination. He is the most talked-about and Is the strongest candidate today, and his name Is now under serious consideration by the Big Wigs of the party.

The Stanchfleld and Campbell booms have about collapsed, though both will give a show of strength In the convention. The silver men here are furious. The Democratic leaders pay no attention to them. They regard them with indifference and chilliness that almost freeies their silver hearts. They loudly shout they will be heard from after the convention.

They may consider themselves lucky if they get even a chance to get inside the coH--entlon hall. Elliot Danforth will go Into convention with the largest number of votes on the first ballot as complimentary. After that nobody knows what will bs the result Danforth's boom seems to stick In one position, and his frlenrls, somehow, cannot push It ahead. It won't budge because Tammany considers him too near to kill, and this Is the stumbling block In Danforth'a way. Joseph Gavin, if Titus Is not nominated, considers his chances of getting on the ticket for Comptroller as good, though James H.

Manning of Albany, John B. Judson of Gloversvllle and Calvin J. Huson, also candidates, will give Gavin a tussle. Senator Hill had a long conference with John Sheehan this morning over the Erie county situation, and the candidate was settled upon, but they didn't tell who It was. Thomas S.

Benedict, formerly Public Printer, an Ulster county man, will be nominated for Secretary of State. Nobody is looking for the nomination of State Treasurer, and this is the only office which toe begging, strange to say. Benaton Hill and Murphy and Rich- State Ticket John C. Davies of Oneida.
