THE POLITICAL ARE-NA.
Thacher's Withdrawal Likely to Lead
to Danforth’s Nomination.
DOESN’T WANT THE HONOR.
But \Vill Not Decline if It Is Tendered
to Him Unanimously—Hill on the
Complex Situation—A Big
Day For McKinley.
New Years, Sept. 28.——At the head-
quarters of the Democratic state commit-
tee in the Bartholdi hotel Secretary Thom-
as Kassett said that telegrams were pour-
ing in from all parts of the state urging
Chairman Danforth to accept the nomina-
tion for governor if it should be tendered
to him. One telegram from National
Committeeman Frank Campbell of Bath,
N. Y., read: ' ' .
“Resolved, That the state committee-
' .man of this districtiis requested, and di-
rected to-vote for and use all honorable
means to procure the election 6f Hon. El-
liott F. Danforthas Democratic candidate
for governor in the place of John Boyd
Thacher, who has withdrawn.”
Referring to the probability of his being
asked to head the state ticket in Thacher’s
place, Chairman Danforth said last night:
“The nomination would be distasteful
tome, and I am not seeking it. I am sat-
isfied with my position of cha'rrman of the
state committee. It is a position that it
has always been my ambition to fill, and
now that it has come to me I should dis-
like very much to relinquish it, even for
so high an honor as the gubernatorial can-
didateship. I appreciate fully the very
kindly sentiments expressed toward me by
fellow Democrats throughout the state
and in this city, but there are other and
fitter men than I, who should not be over-
looked in the selection of a candidate.
“I do not say that I would not accept
the nomination for governor if it came to
me with entire unanimity, but I repeat I
am not seeking it. When my name was
proposed at the Bufialo convention, I had
it withdrawn, at once.
“The-fight for victory in this state will
be a very bitter one, and it will not be a
walkover for whichever 'side that wins.
It Will be a very uphill'fight for the Dem-
ocrats, but there is no cause for discour-
agement. The unexpected always hap-
pens in politics. In 1885, when Hill was
running for governor, many Democrats
despaired of’ success. ‘ Yet he was elected.
I believe the sentiment for Bryan has
spread since his appearance on Thursday
night in Brooklyn.”
There is a strong local feeling in favor
of nominating Congressman Amos J.
Cummings for the vacancy, although Mr.
Cummings says that he would not accept
and has declared himself in favor of Judge
Porter for the position. Congressman
Cummings says that he thinks the with-
drawal of Mr. Thacher improves the.
chances of the Democratic party in the.
state.
Hill on the Situation.
ALBANY, Sept. 28'.--If those in control
of the party are to be believed, there will
be a surprise at the meeting of the Demo-
cratic state committee when that body,
after receiving the declination of John
Boyd Thacher, proceeds to fill the vacancy
on the ticket for the nomination of gov-
ernor. If the abstraction after all the
statements are carefully weighed be true,
then neither Porter or Grifien or Danforth
or Ridgway will fill the vacancy; but, on
the contrary, the old leaders will allow the
silver men to dictate the nomination, and
it is probable that William Sulzer will be
forced upon Tammany by the Democrats
from up the state upon the pretence that
as a silver man he must suit them. It is
believed that Hill and Sheehan and others
who have been in this fight will be pleased
with this outcome, ’
Senator Hill, who was seen by your rep-
resentative at Wolfert’s Roost yesterday,
declared that he had nothing to say upon
the subject except that he placed no cred-
ence in the statement that Mr. Thacher
had written a letter of acceptance and
then destroyed it. He also pooh poohe'd
the idea that the state committee might
indorse, on state issues only, Daniel G.
Griffin. He said, “I don’t think they
would insist upon a man like Thacher re-
tiring and then give indorsement to Mr.
Griffin. ”
“Have you any idea of who will be
.named by the state committee?” was ask-
ed.
“_N0;'I don’t know. It strikes me there
will be a surprise at that meeting. Am I
going down? Well, I don’t know yet. I
don’t cross bridges until I get to them.”
Then Mr. Hill said: “I have heard that
William R. Hearst, John Brisben Walker,
Judge Porter and Elliott Danforth have
been mentioned. Well, seriously, I think
that they will all be like the countryman
who went to the fair and when he came
home replied to the queries of his friends
by saying, “No, I didn’t get any prizes,
but I got a catalogue and first honorable
mention.”
Senator Hill declined to give his views
upon the actions of the committee further
than to insinuate that the old heads might
let the young blood have its way and set-
tle upon its own candidate.
A Big Day For DIcKinley.
CANTON, 0., Sept. 28.—Saturday was
the most notable day of the campaign in
Canton excepting the formal ‘opening of
the county campaign on Friday a week
ago, the crowd exceeding that of any othear
demonstration. Four or five states were
represented in the day’s doings, and dele-
gations came from between 20 to 30 towns
extending as far west as Peoria, 1115.,
and as far east as .Bufialo. The delega-
tions were so massed that Major McKin-
ley managed to address all in 11 speeches.
The closing demonstration of the day
was that of the People’s Patriotic club of
Cleveland under the auspices of Mrs. J.
W. Shepherd, the ladies’ marching club,
and bands and other organizations of
Cleveland. The delegation represented
the western reserve of Ohio and occupied
six special trains. It included organized
bodies of naturalized Americans who were
former subjects of Bohemia, Italy, Po-
landHI—Iungary, Germany, Afro-Ameri-
cans and first voters. Mayor McKisson of
Cleveland was master of ceremonies. M.
Richter spoke for the Bohemians, M.
' Caribolli for the Italians, State Senator
John P. Green for the colored people, Wil-
liam Welfeld for the Poles, W. H. Schwarz
for the Hungarians, Otto Schneider for
the first voters, W. H. Bohm for the Ger-
mans and Harry Mason for the Ameri-
cans. This, like the many delegations of
the ‘day, was conspicuous for numerous
bands and drum corps, gayly uniformed
and well drilled. i '
At. Republican Headquarters. .
NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—Ex-Governor
Alonzo B. Cornell visited Republican na-
tional headquarters yesterday and congrat-
ulated the workers there on the bright
prospects of Republican success. He said:
“The skies are bright everywhere, even in
those states that have been so loudly
claimed for free coinage. I have received
many letters from'friends in Iowa, Min-
nesota and other great agricultural states,
all of which give most promising reports
of the situation, there. So far as the east
is concerned, I have never seen anything
like the promise of a solid vote. Bryan’s
speeches are driving voters into Republican
ranks every day.” -
It ‘was announced that General Horace
Porter of this city will speak in New Ha-
ven-on Sept. 30 and in Waterbury, Conn,
on Oct. 3. -
Bryan’s Tour.
BATH, Me., Sept. 28.-——William Jennings
Bryan spent the Sabbath quietly resting
at the residence ofcxMr. Sewall and at mid-
night resumed his journey, traveling to
Boston. From there he goes to New Lon-
don, Conn., and thence to New York, no
speeches being made at intermediate
points. Monday night he will visit Jersey
City and Newark and on Tuesday night
will return to New York city, and at mid-
night ;his journey willybe‘ continued to-
ward West Virginia, where a programme
has been arranged for several" speeches.
Mr. Bryan then starts forthewest and ex-
pects to reach St. Louis onpct. ,3.

‘ MASSACHUSETTS Druoomrs.
Williams Nominated by Four Conven-
tions and Prince by the Gold Men.
BOSTON, Sept. 28.—Unique and pictur-
esque as have been scores of notable po—
litical contests in this city since the ad-
vent of the politician, none has ever ap-
proached or even compared ‘Wllill that
which Saturday wrought up the entire
community to the wildest pitch of excite-
ment when the two principal factions of
the Democracy of this state tested their
strength and used all their. ingenuity to
get control of the state convention for the
purpose of dictating its policy and nomi-
nating its candidates, and never‘has there
been such anomalous result as was shown
at the close of the day, when three con-
ventions, held in different sections of the
city, named the same man for the head of
the ticket, and that man George Fred Wil-
liams. ' ' ' ' ' '
The factional fight in the ranks of the
hitherto united Massachusetts Democracy
. can be traced back to the Chicago conven.
tion, when George Fred Williams and a
few others boldly left the majority of the
Massachusetts delegation and voted for
silver. On the return from Chicago the
silver element of the delegation held a rat-
ification meeting in Faneuil hall and in-
dorsed the national candidates and the
platform adopted by that convention. But
the majority of the delegation took no
active part in the affair and let matters
take their course. This inaction roused
the energies of the silver leader, and he
openly claimed that" the leaders in the
Democratic state committee were willfully
trying to throw cold water on the silver
movement by their delinquency in not
taking action on either side. The climax
was reached Friday evening when in the
big Bryan rally in Music hall Mr. Wil-
liams accused the leaders with wanting to
control the state convention and requested
all those who Were in favor of his nomi-
nation to stay all night in their seats so
that no move might be made which would
deprive them of fulfilling the programme
which had been marked out by the silver
leaders. These 600 of his followers obeyed
to the letter, and throughout the long
night the vigil was kept despite the police
and every kind of ingenuity to make the
men vacate the hall.
Bright and early in the morning thou-
sands of men, scores of whom were dele-
gates from out of town, assembled around
Music hall, expecting the doors to be
opened at any moment that a compromise
might ensue. Overtures were made by
the members of the state central commits
tee, and they were rejected by the men in
possession of the hall, who were fearful of~
treachery.
The men on the outside then organized
in Hamilton place in response to the sug-
gestion of Hon. Timothy W. Coakley, the
locked in leader of the silver men, and
whatever business was transacted in the
hall waséndorsed by the outside meeting.
The state committee then went to Fan-
euil hall, where a convention was held,
and the national candidates and the Chi-
cago platform were indorsed, and Hon.
George Fred Williams was nominated for
gu ernatorial honors.
his action was protested by a number
of gold standard Democrats, who withdrew
in a body and placed a ticket favorable to
Palmer and Buckner in the field on nom-
ination papers. This ticket is headed by
Frederick 0. Prince for governor.
In Wesleyan hall the state convention of
the Populist party was held, and when
they heard that Williams had been nomi-
nated as the free silver candidate for gov-
ernor, they immediately followed suit and
placed him at the head of their ticket.
Holmes Van Brunt Dead. .
NEW YORK, Sept. 28. —Holmes Van
Brunt of New Utrecht died suddenly at
Mineola, N. Y. He was a brother of Just-
ice Van Brunt of the supreme court of
New York. Holmes Van Brunt, together
with his son and a watchman named
Scott, nearly 20 years ago shot and killed
two burglars, Mosler and Douglass, who
were the alleged abductors of Charley
Ross. The burglars had entered the house
of Justice Van Brunt in Fort Hamilton.
As they came out, they were shot.

“Gilbert, dear,” said young ° Mrs.

as he was lhurrying on 'his gloves and
overcoat, “would you mind calling at
muamma’s and leaving a little message
for me on your way down town? It
will be but a block or two out of your
way.”
Of course Gilbert said Ithat _ he
“would not mind,” asit was the duty
of a newly-wed young man to say.
“That’s a. dear. Well, tell momma
that if it is real pleasant this after-
noon I’ll come for her to go out and
make a few calls‘t’vi'th me, and tell her
to decide where we shall go before I
come; but that I won’t come if it looks
like rain, because I’m almost certain
that rain will spoil my new calling
suit. I didn’t think so when I bought
it, but I’m awfully afraid it’s going to
spot; so if it looks threatening I’ 1 not
go, but if it’s fair-I'll be menu by 4
or maybe by half-past 3; but by 4 any-
how, and tell her to wear her real lace
and 'her new black satin if she wants
‘to call on the Yandersi‘ips; . and, . db,
Gilbert, ask 'her to send ,mqgthait re-

You know you liked it so much. and-—
wait a. moment. dear; tell 'her that I

and that she really thinks .10f making
us a visit this fall, and ask her if She
can’t come home with me to tea. after
