Supreme Court Rules Against Nebras-
ka,s Boiling Democrats.

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 1S.-The last hope
of the administration Democrats TO secure
recognition for the candidates nominated
by the State convention which bolted the
regular convention was destroyed tonight
by the Supreme Court deciding that the
fusion or Bryan ticket shall be designated
as Democratic on the official ballot. The
question came up on petition as to the
power of the Secretary of State with
spect to certificates of nomination under
the provisions of the ballot law. The court
was also asked to pass on the question,
Does the law authorize the printing more
than once on the official ballot of the names
of candidates nominated by different
parties or by petition?
Answering the first question, the court
said that the power of the Secretary, when
objection is made to any certiflcate filed
with him. TO determine from extrnsic evil
dence whether or not such certificate is
fraudulent and whether the nomination
therein certified was made by convention
or assemblage of voters, In good faith,
claiming TO represent a party which cast
the requisite number of votes at the last
election, is plainly implied from the State
law. Answering the second question, the
court declared that the ballot law evil
IDENTIFY contemplated that the name of each
official ballot, followed by such political
designations as correspond with the nomi-
nation papers on file with the officer
charged with the duty Of printing and dis
tributing them. 1t follows that there ex-
lists authority for the printing OF the
names thereon more than once. The de-
cision as to the last question Is victory
for the alleged boters, since. 1t was in
candidates printed twice on the ballot as
Populsts and Democrats.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-Nathan Straus,
Tammany's candidate for Mayor, to-day no
titled Senator Hill that unless he refused TO
allow his name to appear on the State
Dcmocracy's ticket he (Straus) would de-
cline to make the race for Mayor on the
Tammany ticket. At late hour tonight
an intimate friend of nominee ,Straus said:
''Mr. Straus has practically decided to with
draw from the mayoralty race. This de-
cision was arrived at after Mr.. Straus re-
ceived word from close friend Of Senator
HILL in which the latter declined to accede
TO Mr.. Strauss request Such Tammany
leaders as Mayor Gilroy or Mayor Grant,
Delaney Nicol, John NJ. Bowers and others
labored long and earnestly with Mr. Straus,
bringing all sorts Of arguments to bear, but
the nominee was obdurate and insisted upon

The withdrawal of Mr.. Straus will once

when the official announcement of Mr..
Strauss withdrawal WILL it is thought, be
made known, everything must be matter
Of conjecture. 1t was universally admitted
by most of the leaders tonight that ex-
Mayor Grant can have the nomination, il
he will only accept, but it is not believed
that he v1l. Mr.. Grant has frequently said
that his business interests will not allow of
his engaging in politics. 1t is known that
he has within the past month withstood
pressure from such a source as the guber-
material candidacy on the Democratic tick
ct. Then, too, Mr.. Grant was heard to say
he did not think himself a strong candi-
date, and agreed with Mayor Gilroy that
the candidate for Mayor should be selected
from outside the organization. 1t is the
opinion of the rank and file of Tammany
that Mr.. Grants position is analogous to
that of Senator Hill. and that he will be
compelled to accept the nomination.

HILLS SCHElIE.
VIII Remain Senator If the New York
Legislature Be Republican,.

LITTLE FALLS, n. Y. Oct. 1S-The AS
sociated Press correspondent, in an inter-
view with one of the most intimate political
associates of Senator Hill, was informed
that if the Republicans secure control of
the Legislature the Senator will retain his
seat in the Senate and will not qualify as
Governor even though he be elected.
There is no doubt whatever said the
gentleman, Senator Hill will keep his seat
in the United States Senate even though
he win in the gubernatorial race, rather
than to allow the Republicans to name his
successor. OF course, the Democrats are
going to make a strong effort to elect
large number of their assemblymen. With
the Legislature Democratic on joint ballot
Hill will take his seat il elected i am of
the opinion that If Hill should be elected
Governor and the Legislature be Republic
an the voters of the Democratic party
would not condemn him if he allowed Lock
wood to qualify as Governor. Some of
HilPs most trusted leutenants approve of
such a move, and unless he changes his
mind between now and New Years, he will
not take his seat in the Governors chair
unless there be Democratic majority in
the Legislature on joint ballot"

ditional trouble is feared, as excitement
is running high.

ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Oct. 1S-More than
1900 people heard Senator David 3. Hill at
the Lyceum Theater this evening. His ref
erences to 'our patriotic President were
loudly cheered, but the greatest enthusiasm
was evoked when he referred to the Democ-
racy as firmly opposed to religious intoler-
ance. He was very hoarse and appeared
much fatigued by his constant campaign
ing. In opening his address he said: I'VE

Quoted in the same manner IN which the

the same standards, in the same general

paign free from undue excitem ent.
1t was the campaign known as the cam
paign OF education, where arguments were
presented for the confederation of the peo-
pie to influence their action. The Democ-
racy of the State Of New York have no
reason to ever fear the result of such a
campaign. 1 know that throughout this

In closing, he referred to the peculiar
circumstances of his nomination., saying
that as ''cowardice is foreign to my ma
ture and / am not ungrateful," he had
consented to again take the leadership of
the party which had so highly honored
him from early manhood. He commended
the loyalty and unity of the Democrats of

Ohio Democrats VIII Miss Mr.. Har.
ter's Vote This Yenr

MANSFIELD. o.. Oct 1S.-At last Mon
day nights Democratic opening here of the
Ohio campaign Hon. Allen w. Thurman
chairman of the Democratic executive COM
mittee, delivered a long address favoring
the free coinage Of silver AT that time a
number Of his hearers thought he referred
pointedly to Congressman Harter, who was
present on the platform, the champion
OF gold bugs" To-day Congressman Har-
ter wrote a letter for the press in which
he says he desired to explain why he did
not answer Thurman and inclosed copy
OF letter written to Thurman by him on
Sept. 20. i'm which he explained his posi-
ton on silver. In the letter Mr.. Harter
said he was not in favor OF free coinage
or any other measure that makes 30 cents
worth of silver worth a dollar in gold or
any coinage system which will rob people
of half their salaries. That being the case.
Mr. Harter said he couldn't consistently
labor for the success OF the Democrats
ticket in Ohio this fall and could not sup
port any platform with such a rotten
money plank in IT, In conclusion Mr. Har-
ter says IL is somewhat odd that Mr.
Thurman would make such an address as
he did Monday night when he knew that
he (Harterl would take no part in the
