dnyWm show tho ne suit Hard Feelings.
The Popocrats who nro running things at the
prtel Bartholdi said last night that they were
convinced that to-day's events at Albany would
demons,rate who was the bigger man In the
s,tuation in this State. Candidate William Jen-
nings Bryan or Senator David b. Hill.
chairman Bernard ]. York of Brooklyn Of tho
,n,cIal committee appointed by the state Com
n,ittee TO notify John Boyd Thacher of his NOM
,nation for Governor will carry out the behests
of the committee in the Kenmore Hotel at AL
bany at noon to-day. Mr.. York's associates on
tho special committee, including Senator
Thomas f. Grady, will start for Albany this
morning.
Chairman York carries with him tho COM
mends of Candidate Bryan, and they Of q
positive character. Candidate Bryan commands
that Mr.. Thachcr shall retire as the candidate
for Governor. Candidate Bryan had q long con-
ference with Mr.. York in Brooklyn on Wednes
day night and Mr.. Bryan then told Mr. York
that Mr.. Thacher must got off the ticket. Mr.
York listened attentively to the commands of
Mr. Bryan. and said that he would convey tho
message to Mr.. Thacher at Albany. Senator
Hin was Immediately informed of the COM
mands Of Mr.. Bryan. and Senator Hill and Mr..
Thacher have been in communication with each
other.
All OF the Popocrats in New York and Brook
lyn were speculating yesterday as to the out
come OF this mornings meeting at the Kenmore.
Senator Grady thought that he might consider
It to he his duty to tell Mr.. Thacher just what
occurred at the meeting Of the State Committee
in New York city. But then, again, Senator
Grady may change his mind. He had a talk
with John C. Sheehan last night on this subject,
and he will have further understanding with
Mr. Sneehan this morning before he departs for
Albany. Most Of the visitors at the Hotel
Bartho,di yesterday were pronounced in the
opinion that Mr.. Thacher should resign as the
candidate for Governor. Many of them talk ed
with Chairman Elliot Danforth, and came out
into the anterooms and appeared to be more or
less In a frenzy over the subject. Chairman
Danforth had nothing whatever to say on the
subjec. to the newspaper men.
Il prefer TO await events at Albany" said
he, "and have prediction whatever to
make to the result"
Just how Mr.. Thacher will receive the COM
mands of Candidate Bryan was ono of the inter-
esling questions which were uppermost in the
minds Of all hauds-Democrats Popocrats and
Republicans. 1t was admitted to be q some
what irregular proceeding in politics for Pros
identlal candidate to attempt to meddle with
the management OF affairs in q State. But Mr..
Bryan Is not amenable to old-time political
ethics. and he proposes to do what he thinks is
best for himself. Mr.. Bryan is a very heady in
dividual. He has run his campaign to suit him
self from the day he was nominated.
Senator Hill. on the other hand. has declared
that Thacher was the very best candidate that
the Buffalo Convention could have nominated.
