Wanted First Place and Would Not
Take second.

SARATOGA, Sept. 26.--There is an in
terestlng story back of Perry Bel
mont's refusal to take second place on
the ticket. Hill wanted him, and so
did Murphy, and they labcred hard to
get him to consent to make the race
as pacemaker' for Thatcher.
Mr.. Belmont was called in for
conference with Senators Hill and
Murphy, and told that his name would
add strength to the ticket; that duty to
his party demanded the sinking OF per
sonal considerations: almost that he
must accept the proffered place,
dlssuade him from his purpose not to
run They had nearly reached the Com
Vention nan, and were In front OF an
ANTICIPATED stable. when Belmont said
There. amid the horse odor the distin
gulshed party halted and made history

Belmont's refusal to accept second
place. 1t Is said, was not because of a
fear that he could not he elected, but
because he wanted first place on the
ticket and that had already been prom

Before the conference was over Sen
ator Murphy came around to Belmonts
side. and held out for Belmont for Gov

Murphy, as an inducement for his
side. said he would put 100000 into the
canvass. I'M insisted. however, that
his slate must go through.
Mayor Giiroy supported Hill and
pledged the Tammany delegation &c
