NEW-YORK DEMOCRATS ' ‘ ‘5Everything in Readiness For'the Con- / __ ‘Adver‘tieein; the Guerra. - ‘; vention at'Saratoga. . SHORT SESSION EXPECTED. There Is No Competition For the. Delo- ‘ y . “ gateships at Large—A Proposed Busi- ness Committee to Represent New York at micago. SARATOGA, J 11116 24.—The.Democratid state convention will probably be the most harmonious meeting of its kind that has taken place since Senator Hill has hadcon- ‘ trol of the state machinery. All dele- gates say that the convention will bya practically unanimous vote adopt 11 our- rency plank which will satisfy all sound money men, and they express confidence that the action of the convention will have «Such an efi'ect throughout the country that there will be at least a fighting chance for sound meney at the national convention. Factional differences appear to have been forgotten entirely. Men who were bltdérly “denouncing oné another: a year ago are here co fi‘fig ami ; bly wi h one epd view. Ngéghdldatés‘fa’ the c’plaees 0, de egates at large or alternates are presenting .cla‘ms and there is no appearance 6 p ‘co fee for honors in die ddfi’vention. he talk of the managers an the elegates is all in one direction—name y, at the New York Democrats should work together to send to Chicago a delegation which will co ma d r speot t ere. ' g) cohafbresfiée was;1 held in which Demo- crats who have been fighting each other for years took part. Among them are Wil- liam 0. Whitney, Senator Hill, ex—Govern- or Flower, the Tammanyites, ex-Mayor Gilrcy, John C. Sheehan and James J. Martin, Corporation Counsel Francis M. Scott and several leaders of the State Dem- ocr‘acy. As a result of the conference in Albany between Messrs. Whitney, Hill and Chairman Hinkley Of the state commit» tee a currency plank was laid before the conference for presentation to the conven- tion. The conference also considered the advisability of appointing a committee to act with committees from other states in an efiort to influence the delegates at Chi- cago in favor of the gold standard. Strong Men to Be Named. There is a strong sentiment in favor of the appointment of such a committee, es pecially since ex-Governor Russell of Massachusetts has made the announce— ment that he would give up his candidacy for the presidential nomination and go to Chicago with Mr. Whitney to work for sound money. N 0 names have yet been suggested for the committee, but the dele- gates here say that if one is appointed it will be made up of Democrats who are known to business men all over the coun- try and who will not be suspected of work- ing‘for selfish political ends. his committee idea meets with the par- ticular favor of emocrats Who have not been mixed up in national fights. These men say that, no matter who the New York delegates at large may be, the New York delegation to the national convention as a body will not be very impressive, as the district delegates generally will be selected in the old way apd will probably 'not be much of an improvement on thosa men who have been sent to‘former/conventions. Aided by a committee of New York’s best business men, however, it is believed that New York would have as much influence at Chicago, as far as .155? ligr‘renoy’ Jen]: is concerned, as the Matséchhsetts do egatlon had at the St. Louis convention. ‘ It is be- lieved that the New York Demo'c'rats‘might accomplish as much for sound money as the Massachusetts Republicans did. According to the latest calculations, the gold standard men will have at least one- third of the delegates to the Democratic national convention, and some Democrats here believe that the one-third can be in- creased to one-half or more if the New York Democrats carry out the programme outlined above. They say that the one-third represent the great business interests of the country, and that if they are kept together and work in the right way they can make enough con- vertsat Chicago to insure the adoption of a sound money platform. Some time ago there was talk of bringing about harmony by adopting a plank declaring for “sound money” without defining the character of the money. That kind of talk is not heard in Saratoga today. The Democrats here agree that the financial declaration must be as plainly in favor of the gold standard as that adopted by the Republican nation- al convention. There is no talk of a com- promise or ’a straddle. A square declara- tion is considered just now not so much a virtue as a political necessity. Delegates at Large. There is not much discussion about delegates at large or alternates. The names of Senators Hill and Murphy, ex- Governor Flower and Frederic R. Coudert were the chief ones mentioned. In fact, the first three names are considered fix- tures. Mr. Coudert, it is said, has not yet consented to serve. One of the alternates will be ex-Postmaster General Wilson S. Bissell of Buffalo. It was reported here on good authority that Senator Murphy will not go to Chicago, although he will be named as a delegate at large, but will let Mr. Bissell or some other alternate of the administration wing take his place in the convention. Mr. Murphy’s health is not good, and his friends say that he has no intention of going to the convention. He is not willing, however, to have his name left off the list of delegates at large. ‘ The convention will probaly finish its work before sunset. John Boyd Thacher of Albany will be temporary and perma- nent chairman. After the temporary or- ganization there will be a brief recess. There are no contests, except one in Kings county, which may be settled before the convention meets. Little specchmaking is expected. A report was circulated that a new state committee would be selected at this con- vention, but the delegates ‘here say it‘is not true, as it has been ‘understood all along that the present committee would continue until the contention to nominate candidates for state offices next fall is held. ' Why Boies May Be Opposed. WATERLOO, Ia., J une 24. — Governor Boles was interviewed in regard to the re- port that his candidacy for president was opposed by certain parties in the Illinois Democratic convention on the ground that he spoke in defense of Cleveland’s action in sending troops to quell the AAB. U. strike in Chicago. The speech in question was one which he delivered as permanent chairman of‘ the Democratic state conven- tion held at Des Moines on Aug. 1, 1894. In this speech he 'took strong grounds against the exhibition of mob violence which had -. taken plane at Chicago and 'to be no formidable opposition it will elseWhere during that period. , ‘Injspeaki ing of the matter Governor Boles; said}: , » “If the whole of thefspeech‘ was- pub- lished, I do not think there would‘beany cause of complaint. It will be found that I made very prominent the fact that the tariff by its effect in fostering trusts and monopolies brought oppression upon the laboring man and was thereby‘responsible for .the strike. I made this .point very strong in this speech on that occasion, for I' believed it. I do not care to discuss the matter further for publication at this time, but I simply desire, by calling atten- tion to the fact that I described the trou- bles the country passed through at that time, to place myself right before the peo- ple” . Governor Boie’s said that he had under- stood that an attack of this kind was to be made upon him at the Peoria conven- tion, and he expressed himself as being perfectly willing to meet it. Campbell on the Situation. HAMILTON. 0., June 24.—-Ex-Govern01 James E. Campbell has returned from the east. In speaking of the threatened bolt at the “Chicago convention he said: “If the Democratic party should favor the free coinage of silver at the national conven- tion, the party may drive a few goldbugs from our ranks. The 'platform of the party will be carefully planned and each plank cd‘nsidered and weighed. There will 1 be no bolt, but a thorou h understanding before the convention ac s. Itis true that sever l‘De Idcratic states in the east favor a gold bdsi ,"zih’d thbi‘e is somewtrouble an- ticipated should the convention declare for silver, but this trouble is only appre- hended by the action that New York, New Jersey and Connecticut may take in the event of a silver platform.” To Stump For Bland. ST. LOUIS, J une 24.—Free silver and Bland’s boom are to receive an impetus from Missouri oratory.

AUSTIN, Tex., June 24.—Both wings of the Texas Democrats met in separate ses- sion here today, but outside of perfecting temporary organization and the appoint- ment of various committees nothing was done.
