Talk That Hill Will Not
Leave the Senate.

NEW YORK, Oct. iS.-At late hour
tonight all intimate friend of nominee
Nathan Strauss says:
mir. Strauss has practically decided
to withdraw from the mayoralty race.
This decision was arrived at after MIR.
Straus received word from close friend
of Senator Hill in which the latter de-
clined to accede to MIR. Strauss request.
Such Tainmany leaders as Mayor Gilroy,
Mayor Grant. Delancy Nicol. John NJ.
Bowers and others labOred long and
earnestly with Mr.. Strauss. bringing all
sorts of argument to bear, but the nom.
lnee was obdurate and insisted upon
withdrawing"

awry. and until the leaders meet tomor-
row afternoon, when the official an
nouncement of MIR. Strauss withdrawal
will, it is thought. be made known,
everything must be matter of con-
lecture. 1t was universally admitted
by most of the leaders tonight that ex
Mayor Grant can have the nomination
it he will only accept. but it is not be-
leved that he will
Mr.. Grant has frequently said that his
business intereS IS VIII not allow of his
engaging in politics. 1t is known that
he has within the past month withstood
pressure from such source as the
gubernatorial candidacy on the Demo-
cratic ticket. Then. too, Mr.. Grant was
heard to say ne Gid not think himself
strong candidate and agreed with Mayor
Giroy, the candidate for mayor should
he selected from outside the organiza-
ton. 1t is the opinion of the rank and
file OF Tammany hall that Mr.. Grants
position is one anomalous to that of
Senator Hill, and he will be compelled
to accept the nomination.

says he desired to explain why he did

copy of letter written to Thurman
by him on Sept. %. in which he
explained his position on silver.
In the letter Mr.. Harter said lie was
not in favor of free coinage or any other
measure that makes so cents worth of
silver worth a dollar in gold. or any
coinage system which Will rob people of

also asked to pass on the question. does
the law authorize the printing more
than once on the official ballot OF line
names of the candidates nominated by
different parties or by petitian.
Answering the first question, the
court said that the power of the sec
rotary. when objection is made to any
certificate filed with him. to determine
from extrinsic evidence whether OF not
such certificate is fraudulent, and
whether the nomination therein certified
was made by Il convention or asscmbiage
OF voters in gond faith. claiming to rep
resent party which cast the requisite
number OF votes at the last election, is
plainly implied from tie state law.
Answering the second question, the
court declared that the ballot Law evil
IDENTIFY contemplated that the name of
each candidate shall appear but once on
the eli clai ballot, followed by such po-
iltical designations as correspond with
the nomination papers on file with the
nomination officer charged with the
duty of printing and distributing them
1t follows that there exists no authority
for the printing of the names thereon
more than once. The decision as to the
last question is victory for the alleged
boilers, since it was intended to have
the names of the fusion candidates
printed twice on the ballot as PopulissS
and DemocratS.

ment of an hour was then taken while
the roast oxen were discussed, and then
the speaking was resumed by Mr.. Will

address of the day. During his re-
marks voice interrupted Mr.. Wilson
to ask as to the truth Of a Republican
report that MIR. Wilson had brought

Wilson replied:

gold, but a restored health, enabling me
to visit the mountains anu valleys of

The Senator Will Not Resign
from the Senate.

LITTLE FALLS. n. Y, Oct. 1S.-The
Associated Press correspondent, in an
interview 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 moi qualify as governor even though
he be elected. There is no doubt
whatever said the gentleman, ''tnat
Senator Hill will keep his seat i'll the
United States senate even though he
wins in the Hubernatorial race rather
than allow the Republicans to name his
successor. Of course the Democrats are
going 10 make strong etfort
to elect 4 large number of their
assemblymen. With the iegiSla-
ture Democratic on the joint
ballot, Hill Will take his seat if elected.
| am OF the opinion that il Hill should
be elected governor, and the legislature
be Republican, the voters Of the Demo
cratic party would not condemn him If
he allowed Lockwood 10 qualify as gov.

lieutenantS approve of such move,
and unless he changes his mind be
tween now and New Years, he will not
take his seat in the governors char UNI
