TO NAME THEIR OWN MEN.
soUND-MoNEY DEMOCRATS TO HAVE
COMPLETE STRAIGHT TICKETS.

Candidates for Congress and Assembly to
Re Nominated In Every District Where
the Third Party Meu Have an OrEaniza-
tIon ms Well as - Fun state 11cket.
Not only is It the purpose Of the Democratic
Party Reform Organization aG Its State Con-
vention, to be hold in Brooklyn next Thurs
day. to nominate an independent State ticket,
but the State Committee Of the organization
will recommend the nomination of sound-money
Democratic candidates for Congress and
Assembly In every district where tho
party has an organization. This statement
Is made on the authority of half a
dozen leaders in the movement who have
generally been looked on as formulating the
policies and plans of the party. The State Com
mittee will meet in the assembly rooms of tho
Reform Club ON Saturday night to discuss these
matters. Some idea of how the sound-money
Democrats feel regarding this subject may be
obtained from the following statement made by
former Congressman John De Witt Warner last
night:
1--WE will certainly nominate candidates of
our own for Governor and Lieutenaut-Gov-
ernor." he said "A man professedly for sound
money who would accept q nomination for Gov
ernor from the Buffalo Convention merely to
gain a little cheap notoriety for himself would
be n sorry spectacle. His end OF tho ticket
would be less respectable than Bryan's,
for l believe that Bryan is at least sim
cere. II we could not support Bryan we
certainly could not support such man. There
might be some renson for union Of all Demo-
Gratis IL there were State issue which over
Swallowed the currency ISSUE That is not the
case. and the Democratic party reform orrani-
cation will not stultify itself by supporting o
professed gold man on a free-silver platform.
n ~. Nf,,, l&1,a~
case of men who are willing to run for Congress
or the Assembly on free silver platform"
George Foster Peabody. member of the
National Executive Committee from this State,
received letter yesterday from Seymour Van
Santvoord of Troy. the leader Of the sound
money Democrats in Rensselaer, county, In
which he deals with the same subject and re-
fers particularly to tho impossibiiity OF sup
porting John Boyd Thacher should the latter
bsr of hSrs fc r % Wales, Among
accept . nomination By the Buffalo cenven;
the Chicago platform deserves to be buried.
and the candidate for Governor, under such
vction for sound mouey. instead of being
satisfactory to the third.party men. ought
to be buried deeper than genuine silver
nominee. What should be done. in my
judgment is to carry this third-party idcn to its
for State officers men who mean what they
stand for. ! have frequently seen II
stated that Thacher's nomination would be ac-
ceptabe to the Palmer people. because Al
bany's Mayor is for sound money. | am not
afraid of inconsistency. but in face OF such
an abject surrender as this would be my self
respect would not permit me to support such n
candidate. There can be no genuine alliance at
this time between the supporters of Bryan and
the supporters of Palmer"
The branch OF the national headqua rters of
the sound money Democrats will be opened At
30 East Twenty third street to-day with George
Foster Peabody in charge This viii also be the
headquarters of tho State Committee of
the Democratic party reform organiza-
ton, and the committee having In
charge the arrangements for the Madi-
son Square Garden meeting on next Tuesday
night will also hold forth here. This committee
consists OF +. Ellery Anderson, II. DE Forest
Baldwin. and Edward NJ. Shepard. They are
already overwhelmed bv applications for tickets
to the Palmer and Buckner meeting. These
tickets, 1t is expected. will be ready for
distribution tomorrow. Not all tho de-
tails of the meeting have been arranged
he will be here, on Tuesday night
address in Kentucky on Wednesday night has
been cancelled. No, word has been received
from Secretary Carlisle, who Is expected to
make the principal speech. because he was on
his way from Bar Harbor TO Buzzard's Bay
when tho teleCrams OF inquiry were sent him,
and he did not get them till last night.
