WHAT Do WE "GIT?o
The Cry of Tammany Hall in the Pres
emit Mixup.

New York, July 22.-Ex-Senator Geo.
w. Plunlzitt, Tammany leader of the
Fifteenth district, expresses an opin-
ion which is taken as rejecting the
views of a large majority of the active
politicians of the wigwam. He com
mended the advice contained in the
Poughkeepsie manifesto sent out over
Major Hinkley's signature, that no def
mite political action be taken by Demo-
Gratis until the assembling of the state
convention, and thought it worthy of
the careful consideration of Tammany
men.
''HinkIey's advise is all right" said
Mr.. Plunkitt. why should we go
ahead endorsing the ticket when we
don't know what we are to get out of
it? Free silver or free gold or free any
thing else may be all right, but that
amt the point. We want to know what
we are going to get from these people.
We don't care anything about this cur
rency question. We just want to know
what Bryan and Sewau will do for the
New York Democrats if we support the
ticket. We don't want to build a stone
wall for these men, and then be thrown
on the outside of it. No, Stree. There
won't be any endorsing of the ticket in
my district until know what we are
to get for the endorsement. We don't
know these people, and they don't
know US. Let's have an understanding
before we go into the endorsement bust
ness. That's not only my sentiment,
but the sentiment generally in Tam
many. We don't give a fig for the
money question, but we must know
what we are going to get out Of an en-
dorsement of the ticket

PLAN TO DEFEAT BRYAN.
A Technically in the Ohio Law Used
to His Disadvantage.

Cleveland, July 22.-The Populists of
CuyahOga held a well attended meet
ing yesterday.
Bryan was the topic of discussion and
in this connection the various schemes
to defeat him were spoken of, promi-
nent among which was through the
intricacies of the Australian ballot sys-
tenn The sentiment among the local
Populists is that Bryan must be either
nominated or endorsed by the Populist
convention at st. Louis this week
Providing that such should occur, Mr.
Dean said that to insure the election of
Bryan particular care must be exer-
cised in the manner in which the tick
ct IS placed on the ballot. Should the
party endorse OF nominate Bryan and
should he be balloted for as a Popu-
list and as a Democrat, said Mr.. Dean,
the votes 50 cast, according to the Ohio
law, would not count for Bryan to make
up a majority, but as a plurality. If
the law is not amended to have votes
count for candidates and not party.
this will be the most unfair method
used to defeat the candidate, he said.

CY AND OTHERS.
Kansas Politicians Go to Kansas City
After Their Meeting Here.

Kansas City, July 22.-SOme Kansas
politicians were manipulating slightly
around the Blossom house last night.
They came down from Topeka on the
evening trains.
It was observed that Cy Leland. Jr.,
chairman of the state central commit
tee, and Lit Crum of OswegO, appeared
to be on good terms with each other
despite the fact that Mr.. Crum insisted
the fight for nomination for governor
ventiOn in Kansas is over and favor
able to Morrill,. Mr.. Leland would re-
tort that the fight is not over and that
interest in the event is not over.
Farmer A. ". Smith of McPher-
son had with him Tom Potter of
Marion, who has delegates for governor
and who insists that he will have more.
Potter and Smith were running a sort
of combination of their own.
They left for uptown soon after
reaching the union depot.
Sam Benedict of Wilson county, who
has the Republican nomination for the
legislature, was also in the crowd. He
was accompanied by Ex-Governor Os-
spect the track of one of the branch
lines. Of course he had no business
with Mr.. Benedict, a prospective mem
her of the coming legislature of Kan
sas. The ex-governor took q. late train
for Topeka, after spending a very
pleasant evening with Mr.. Benedict.
Mr.. Leland will leave in the morning
for Chicago to attend the meeting of
the executive committee of the ma
tiOnaI Republican committee. He is
member of the working committee in
charge Of the Chicago branch of the
national Republican committee.
Mr. Leland viii, however, give very
little time to national work until after
the Republican state convention of
Kansas. He expects to return from
Chicago by the last of the week
