the two parties Wednesday For ac-
tive support of the ticket to be named

ives upon the electoral ticket and

Kept the Wires Hot.
Though they were absent in the
body the leadership of Senators Hill
and Murphy and w. F. Sheehan may
be felt in the Democratic state conven-
uon. Rumors We're current in the no.
tel lobbies early in the day that all
through the night the wires had been
carrying communications between the
senators and other old-time leaders on
the one hand and various Of their lieu
tenants now in this city. the purpose
being To bring about a modification of
the resolutions on the financial ques-
tion and on the Endorsement of Bryan
and Sewall. In this connection it was
significant fact that Tammany men
who were asked regarding the atti-
tude OF their organization professed
the utmost ignorance. saying that the

meeting to be held later in the day.
Two Sets OF Resolutions.
1t appears to be a fact that two sets
of resolutions have been prepared with
a view to their submission to the con-
vention. One set. which Elliott Dan
forth has in charge. is said to have the
approval of Senators Hill and Murphy
and Chairman Jones of the Democratic
national committee. Jones. il Is said
is willing to accept a qualified indorse-
ment of the Chicago conventions work
IL thereby the nomination of a gold
standard Democratic ticket can be
avoided. Congressman Sulzer and 9TH
er radical silvertes declare. however.
that there shall be no half-hearted in
dorsement, and that the party must be
freed from the domination of those who
are designated kickers and the asser-
ton is further made that the state or
ganization will be made up indepen-
dent of those who took part in the
revolt at Chicago.
Convention Called to q ride r.
II was 1880 o'clock when Chairman
Hinkley raped the Democratic con-
vention to order and announced that
the state committee had selected State
Senator Thomas F. Grady for tempor-
airy chairman. Mr.. Grady addressed
the convention for a period of about
twenty minutes. During the delivery
of his speech members of the Albany
delegation circulated a protest against
the nomination of John Boyd Thacher
on the ground that at the Saratoga
convention he declared himself for the
gold standard. and that no recanta-
ton OF that avowal has since come
from him. After resolutions had been
referred and committees named the
convention took a recess until 10 a. m.
