WILDER F. Porter Nominated for Gov
ernOr Of New York.

Will Head the Ticket of the Regular
Observation-Disclosures of Long TeIe-
phone Communication With Senator
Hill.
New York, September 2S.-The regular
Democratic ticket of New York state,

as follows:
For Governor-Wilbur T. Porter of
Watertown.
For Lieutenant Governor-Frederick S.
Sohraub of Lowville.

Appeals-Robert c. Titus OF Buffalo.
1t was supposed that Elliot Danforth,
chairman of the state committee would
be placed at the head of the ticket, to fill
the vacancy caused by the declination Of
Johu B. Thacher. At the eleventh hour,
Mr.. Danforth, who had been In tele
phonic communication with Senator
Hill, decided that he would not permit
his name to be used.
1t is said that the extreme silver men,
who were first to push Mr.. Danforth, be-
gan to have doubts as to the genuineness
of his silver views. His close friendship
for Senator Hill did not please them at
all. Mr.. Bryan came to town just before
the committee met and ooun selled
putting Judge Porter at the head of the
ticket and naming German for second
place. AS these complications arose,
there were talks over the long distance
Senator Hill, which ended in advice from
the Senator that Mr.. Danforth quit the
race. Mr.. Soharub was the choice for
lieutenant governor of the extreme sill
verites, and also of those who cater to
the farmers vote. His connection with
agricultural experiments. and his record
as commissioner of agriculture were
| among the qualifications his friends said
would bring strength to the ticket.
| No change was made in the third place
ON the ticket. Mr.. Schraub was some

and considera BILE urging was necessary
before he agreed to stand.
| At the meeting of the committee to-
night, the deolination Of MF. Thacher
Danforth himself presented the name Of
MIR. Porter an candidate for governor.
There was no other nominations for the
place. Before the vote was taken, Mr..
Purroy enquired where Mr.. Porter stood
In regard to the platform. Mr.. Danforth
stated that Porter would stand squarely
upon the platform Of the convention, and
would fully endorse the Chi oago plat
form. The vote for Mr.. Porter was

the directors Of the state agricultural ex-

the thirty knot torpedo boats and the

This is the decision finally reached by
Chief Constructor Hichborn and Engi-

voted their energies unremittingly for

relative merits of the designs offered by
the various competitors for the work and

preparation of 81, 300, 900 would permit.

advocates of free silver have abandoned

"The independent nation in money
matters is the nation of high credit, and
sound currency is the essential condition
