New York Democrats Will Probably stand
on Gold Plank.
SARATOGA, NY, June 24.-Delegates
to the Democratic state convention are
arriving by every train. Senator Hill,
Ex-Secretary Whitney, Chairman
Hinckley and Mayor John Boyd
Thacher of Albany are here
The question of the form which the
conventions declaration on the cur
rency shall take, is the foremost one,
and is still open. Senator Hill is alleged
to favor an unqualified plank in favor
of the gold standard, and, Judging by
surface indications, the straddlers are in
a hopeless minority.
The four delegates at large to the
Chicago convention will probably be
Senator Hill, Ex-Governor Flower, E. F.
Coudert and Senator Murphy.
