HIS SILENCE.
Senator Hill resumed his laborous efforts at
bringing about Democratic harmony yesterday
but he got little in the way of consolation
After breakfast at the Hotel NOrmandie he be-
gan receiving visitors 1t was remarked by
many who had occasion to see him that the
yearied look which was SO noticeable on Wednes
day had not by any means disappeared 1t was
a common remark among his friends that the
Senator had hard Job before him to straighten
ou, the numerous and vexatious complications
which he found surrounding the various Demo-
cratic organizations in most of the counties In
this part of the State.
Among those whom Mr.. Hill and cOun-
SEIZED with yesterday were w. Bourke Cochran.

the Tammany-State Democracy deal. the Gaynor
problem. the situation in Kings County and
other matters Mr. Hill went to the new Demo-
cratic State headquarters. at the Park Avenue
Hotel where he was closeted for some time with
his chief henchman. Chairman James W. Hnk-
ley. of POughkeersie. Before leaving head
quarters he arranged that the Democratic State
Committee should be called to meet here on
Saturday next.
Senator Hill expected. when he came here on
Monday evening. that he would be able to smash
the third ticket. bring the Snappers. ant-Snap-
pers and Mugwumps together in NewYork and
Krgs counties fix up matters with Judge Gay
nor and return to Albany in less than two days
He is still here, and not one OF his tasks is ac-
complished.
LAMONT DROPS POLITICS
Secretary Lamont did not mingle much with
politicians yesterday. He had Informed the
Federal officeholders who owe their places to the
present Administration ard others what Mr.
Cleveland expected of them on Wednesday. and
Yesterday he devoted himself ostensbly to Off
cial duty visiting the Army Building in White
hall-st and the military post on Governors ISL
and. on a sort Of inspection tour. Mr.. Lamont
talked privately as If there was no DOUBT ABOUT
Democratic harmony.
Lieutenant Governor Sheehan was busy all day
among the Snappers and Tammany men trying
to keep up their courage with reports That MI.
Hill was meeting with great success in his abors
and would have the party in solid and united
shape before the week was out. Few were able
to the rainbOws in the political skV when
"Blue-E Eyed Billy" so rapturously described
GAYNOR FOR GOVERNOR.
Much interest was taken in Brooklyn yester-
day in the renewed reports Of the probability
Of the retirement of Senator Hill from the head
Of the Democratic State ticket and the filling Of
his place with Judge GaynOr by the State Com
mittee. Several of Mr.. Gaynors closest friends
said that. while they felt certain that he would
not accept the place the State ticket with
which his name is connected. they would
not be surprised TO him at the head of the
ticket.
Edward NJ. Shepard. when asked how he would
be suited with the proposed change in the state
ticket, said:
1T would suit me exactly. Such change
would tend 10 simplify matters greatly. But
am afraid that IF should advocate ii that would
tend to defeat such a movement"
Patrick Ready. delegate to the Saratoga Con-
yention who favored Judge Gaynors nomina-
ton for Governor there. when told Mr. Shepards
position said: Il will shake hands with him on
that | believe that nine-tenths Of the Demo-
cratic voters. especially in the interior counties
want Judge Gaynor for Governor lie wouiG
accept. believe. certain conditions. and would
be elected
District-Attorney Ridgway. on the contrary,
said: Il do not believe that II Is contemplated
for a moment to have Senator Hill retire ana 70
place Judge GaynOr at the head Of the ticket. II
would be simply suicidal for the party 10 MAKE
any change in the ticket 1t is not true that !
have been urging Judge Gaynor to accept me

in court. | haven't met Senator Hll recently
until Yesterday do not S, thin r ,nar ne mas
II was asserted yesterday that Judge Eaynor
had agreed to take the place AT the head OF tne
ticket II Tammany would nominate John w.
Golf for Mayor Of New-York 50 that he WouId
get the full Democratic vote in this city.
Major Huxley Of the Democratic state Com,
rnittee was in Brooklyn at noon yesterday, ana
met Judge Gaynor again. After their confer
once Judge Gaynor was asked in regard to the
report that the place at the head Of the ticket
had been offered 10 him. He replied: Il 90
not deal in rumors at all. and know nothing OF
the things you speak Of About my nominal
ton must be treated with a little patience, ana
II must be remembered that no one has been
notified or has accepted yet Also remember
that am busy holding court and have scarcely
an hour TO myself"
Mr. Shepard doesn't look for Democratic mar
mOny. In answer TO the question: do you
think Mr.. Hill will be successful In harnonlzlng
the machine and anti-machine Democrats? ne
said: mo. ! do not"
Mr. Shepard ntimated that the chief oppos-
ton 10 the Democratic State ticket by the anti
machine men caused by Mr. HILL and II
was absurd TO think that he could get the two
factions TO work together. He said ne could not
discuss the subject Of the third ticket.
