WASHINGTON, d. c., September 10.
The telegram of Secretary Lamont, in
which he announces his intention to
vote for Palmer and Buckner. and de-
nounces the new and strange creed
proclaimed in a moment of delirium at
Chicago" is expected to be followed
shortly by d letter or telegram from
President Cleveland 1t is said that
MIR. Cleveland indicated his purpose
some days ago of making a public ex-
precision endorsing the action of the
Indianapolis convention, and Secretary
Lannon'S open avowal Of his attitude,
sets at rest any doubt as to his posi-
ton, and incidentally indicates the
prediction made when Secretary Car
Isle returned from his visit to Gray
Gables. that Cleveland would yet bring
recaNcitrant members of his cabinet in
to line against the Chicago ticket.
Mr.. Carlisle, for instance who told
Senator Lindsay, of Kentucky, before
his visit TO Gray Gables that he would
vote the Democratic ticket, recently
expressed himself very strongly in
Favor of
THE INDIANAPOLIS TICKET.
It is curious that the men deepest in
terested in this movement cannot sue
coed in forcing upon the people the
name which they adopted for their
party, nsmnely, THE National Demo-
cratic Party"
Every man, no matter what be his
o-.7
form, recognizes that the ticket noni-
mated there is that of the national
Democracy, and gold money Democrats
are in very grave danger of passing
down into history without any name
attached TO their movement, except
that Of the city where this convention
was held
The gold money Democrats wiz open
their campaign the first of next month.
There will be perfect harmony Of ac-
ton, and the gold money speakers will
be careful to arrange all their itinera-
ries in such a way as to cooperate
4 with the speakers bureau of the Re
publicans. There viii be no attempt
made by the gold money men to
DICTATE THE ACTION
Of any state committee in the matter
OF putting up an electoral ticket. 1t is
conceded that the gold money men
everywhere have only one purpose in
view-the election of Mr.. Mckinley
and it win be left to their discretion
everywhere 10 run an independent cleo
toral ticket or to place state electors
for Mckinley under the Palmer and
Bucl1ner party emblem. It is generally
conceded that in almost every state
gold Democrats viii, q. Gay or two be-
fore the national election, practically
abandon their own ticket and throw
their votes to Mckinley. 1t is also
generally understood that they will
everywhere work and vote for gold /
money candidates for congress no |
} matter what are their parity affiliations.
At Democratic headquarters the ac-
ton of Mr.. Lamont is discounted by the
assertion that Senator Hill viii IN
doubtedly come OUT for the Democratic
ticket, Notwithstanding his telegram of (
today, in which he refuses to be bound /
by instructions for Bryan.
SENATOR HILLS INCONSISTENCY
IN advocating after next Wednesday
what he fought so bitterly at Chicago /
is ingeniously explained away by his !
friends at headquarters. Mr. Hill. they
say, went to Chicago as the represen-
tative Of his party in New York, carry
ing, as it were, power of attorney from
them. lie made his fight and was de-
feated. If, next Wednesday, represen-
tatives Of the Democratic party in New
York, whose attorney he was in Chi
cago. decide upon new course. then
Mr.. Hill, the faithful attorney of his
party, will be guided by their new or
Gers.
1t is believed at Democratic headouar-
fers in al seriousness that Bryan has
more than fighting chance in New
York. This is NOT an idle campaign
claim of shouters about Headquarters
but is the calm judgment of men who
do not, as a rule, give out campaign
interviews. Senator German, who spent
nearly two weeks at Saratoga. studying
I'd
THE POLITICAL SITUATION
IN New York, is said to be fully con-
WINGED that Bryan viii come down to
Harlem river running very little behind
Mckinley, If not passing him; and that
If Tammany does its duty. New
York viii be in the Democratic column.
Certain it is that this claim was never
made for New York until the recent
visit to national headquarters of Sena-
