THE GOLD MOVEMENT.
How the Third Ticket Electors
Will Be Placed Before
the People.


Democrats in all parts of the State are
annoyed at the organization effected by
The gold Democrats, and they all seem to
find a balm in the fact that the gold DEM
ocrats will be unable to get their ticket
regularly before the people because Of le-
sal complications. The gold Democrats
say that there are no legal requirements
they cannot meet Under the law the Sec
retary of the State can give to gold Demo
Gratis or any faction if they so desire suit
able names or titles to distinguish the
several factions, and ballots shall be
printed accordingly"
Secretary of State Kelsey is a pro-
nounced gold Democrat He believes
firmly in the platform of the New Jersey
State Convention which declared for gold.
The gold Democrats can also secure a
place ON the tickets by petition. The law
requires one signature for every 100 vo-
ters. but no over 500 in all, in case of a
State ticket While electors are selected
for Congressional districts, they are voted
for all the voters in THE State. and there
must be Static petition. The gold peo-
pie claim they win have no trouble getting
enough signatures.

State Committee of the gold Democrats,
said:-"We expect before the meeting of
the State convention of Trenton .on Aug
ust &c to have full committee of forty
six active gold Democrats Our plans
will be entirely controlled by the action
of the convention of the National Demo-
Cratic party, which will be held in Indian
apolis on September 2. We do not think
that it VIII be wise for US to attempt to
control the State convention that will Sc
lect the electors for the Democratic ticket
We fully appreciate the fact that the sil-
yer Democrats are in control of the ergan-
ization and the machinery OF the party,
and have a greater opportunity to select
silver delegates. 1t has been int;mated
that the silver Democrats intend TO make
sure that only silver delegates are elected
by passing resolutions in the primaries
compelling all who vote to make affidavit
that they will support the regular nom
inses made at the Chicago convention
I'VE admit that they have a perfect
right to do this, if the primaries so decide.
1t is possible, however, that the gold
Democrats in some locality may become
too strong to allow such a course to be
pursued. AS matters stand now the Pro-
visional State Committee viii begin an
enrolment of the gold Democrats in sew
eral counties, and VIII urge on them the
necessity Of attending the Trenton con-
vention.'
THE principal duty OF. the State Com
mittee apart from the State organization

To-Day. II we cannot get our electors and
candldate before the people there will be
nothing else for us to do but scratch Mr.
Bryan and the Democratic electors from
the Democratic tickets that are given to
us Wfen We go into the booths. There is
a strong sentiment for gold in Union
County. but whether they can be induced
to associate themselves with this move
ment is another thing So many dislike
TO be IN an attitude of opposition and
prefer to express themselves quietly at
the polls. There win be many of them
vote for Mckinley. This dislike of publi-
city may keep many from the State Con-

think we would have trouble to get the
requisite number of signatures to a peti-

gold Democrats who encouraged the inde-
