Richard Croker Talks Of
the Third Ticket"
CLEVELAND IS SOUGHT
To Check Contemplated Moves of the
Anti Tammany Men.

seen ny ri. ter and as ked concerning
the rumors about the nomi mating a third
ticket He said that so far as the Tam
many halls local ticket was concerned il
could do no injury. 1t might not, he
aid, injure he national ticket, but there
would be danger Of such ticket helping
to elect "A Republican and United States
enator TO succeed Hiscock, inasmuch IL
1t would afford an opportunity for the
trading of votes for assemblymen. One
district he declared, might change the
entire complexion Of the legislature and
prevent the election of Democratic sen.
ator.
More Complications.
The political situation in New York
state was still further complicated last
night by the failure of the Democratic
state committee To nom mate a candidate
for chief Justice of the court of appeals.
A stated in the call, the committee was
called to order for the purpose of nominal.
ing chief justice and the fact that this
was not done was surprise to the unin-
itiated.
1t was understood that the nomination
was to fall on Judge Rufus w. Peckham,
but it is probable that the action of the
County Democracy on Thursday night,
when il declared for Independent local
nominations, so incensed the state COM
mittee that IL altered It's determination or
at least postponed the nomination until
assured that the third ticket idea had
been abandoned. 1t is also stated that the
failure To nominate was due TO the oppo-
sition of Hugh Mclaughlin, who has
candidate in the person Of William @. De-
Witt of Brooklyn.
1t is openly asserted that, should the
anti-snappers persist In nominating a
third ticket, the state committee will re
taliate by nominating Mr.. Dewitt, Judge
Earle, or, possibly, Judge Isaac Maynard,
and the postponement Of IA nomination
was for the purpose of giving the anti.
snappers time to consider the situation.
A committee consisting Of w. Bourke
Cochran, James w Ridgeway and Clinton
Beckwith was appointed To decide all
questions in regard to the electoral ticket.
The three committeeman were opposed to
Cleveland's nomination at Chicago.
No Third Ticket
has vet been nominated by the anti.
snappers As evidenced by the meeting
held by them last night, however. the
probabilities of an auti-Tammany county
ticket are stronger than ever. Although
no action was taken further than the
adoption OF the report of the committee
appointed last Friday to meet Chairman
Harrity and Messrs. Dickinson, Quincy
and Smalley of the Democratic national
committee, there was much speech making
in favor of a third ticket.
The report Of the conference committee,
after detailing the history of its appoint
ment. was ~ follows:
The chairman of your committee stated the
purpose of your committees visit in the Ian
guage of the resolution OF its appointment.
In reply to the request contained in such state
ment, the chairman of the subcommittee in
formed this committee that, in the opinion of
the subcommittee, the most useful means TO
be adopted by the organization represented by
your committee were the systematic organiz-
alton OF campaign clubs or associations in every
district of the city, and thorough canvassng
OF the vote in each district, the holding of pub
lie meetings and parades and the dissemina-
tion of correct understanding among all
classes of voter on the questions Of issue.
The chairman OF your committee asked the
chairman of the subcommittee whether the
national committee desired al this time To add
any further detailed suggestion % the general
suggestion above specified, To which the
chairman OF the subcommittee made no
ply, being interrupted by Mr.. Dickinson Of
the subcommittee, who said that the sub
committee would he very glad 10 hear any
suggestions on that subject matter from your
committee to which the chairman OF your
committee replied that the committee had
nothing further in the way of suggestions TO
make upon the subjects included within the
limit of our resolution and the committees
instructions.
The conference upon the subject matter
of the resolutions then closed. After
hearing and adopting the foregoing re-
port, the committee was continued for the
purpose of further conferences with other
organizations and the meeting adjourned
until next Friday night, when the anti
snappers will hear further report from
the committee.
