Have Everything Their own Way.
NKw YORK. July 13 Senator George
Gray says mo policy mas beon adopted
for our guidance in the emergency which
confronts us, but there will be one The
free silver men seem to have captured
everything, but we have honor left and a
good combination"
Senator Gray would not explain what
he meant by "a good combination II
WAS said, though, that 1t related to the
plans which were discussed In Mr.
Whitney's private car Some OF these
plans were very interesting. One of the
propositions considered was that no
election ticket should be put In the field
by the Democrats OF this state An
bjection to this was that Il is the desire
of the organic alton In the state TO make
as good = fight as possible for its state
and local candidates. and tha absence Of
an electoral ticket from the official ballot,
It was said, woald hurt the state ticket
and the chances of Democratic candidates
for Congress and the Assembly.
Another objection WAS that the
National Democratic Committee. which is
free coinage body, might go to work
and organize the free silver Democrats In
the State recognizs them as the regular
State organization ard thus secure for
them all the privileges Of the Democracy
under the New York Ballot law. This
same objection was raised TO the pro
posal TO participate In a nsw sound
money Democratic National Convention
and support another Democratic candi
date. The lawyers 10 the Inference (snd
they are good ones) declared that this
objection would not hold water, because
the courts In this state would not recog
Mia the action of the National Commit
tee IS opposed to that Of the regular Dem
ocratIc orgAnizatio Ia the state, aud
that there would be no danger that Jim
my O'Brien or any other man could get
up an organization which would be re
cognized as entitled to the ballot emblem
of the regular Democracy under the
state laws.
The proposition which Is said to have
met with the most favor was for the
Democracy In the State Convention to
nominate the Mckinley aud Hobart Pres
l idential electors. Such action, It wa.
said, would be most advantageous to the
State and local Democratic nominees. 10
the first place 1t would give the Demo
Gratis OF the State q full official ballot
Then there WAS every reason to believl
that the Plstt Republicans will nominate
out.and out machine men for Governo
and sll minor places wherever possible
and with Mckinley elestors at the head o
the Dsmocatic ticket IL would bs an eAsl
matter for the anti Piatt Republicans
TO scratch" the regular State candi
dates Of their party while voting 70
Mckinley. OF course. there were obi &c
tIons raised TO this plan Oae was tina
there are, maybe. Democrats in the Stat
vino will want TO vote for tue ChicAg'
candidates rather than record themselve
for McKinle7. 10 WAS said that defec
tions OF this sort might more than offse
any gains.
All the plans are to be considered thor
oughly, and the one which will work th
greatest benefit to ths State and loca
tickets, at the same time insurlDg th
State to Mckinley, will, 1t Is said b
adopted.
At the conferences which are TO be hel
this week 1t was said that represents
tives by the sound money Democrac
from several States will be present
