There are marked signs upon the polit-
zeal sky that the gentlemen, who think
they are running the Third Ticket move
mens in this county are rapidly essrang-
ing support from it. The average man
finds 1t more than difficult to understand
their ostracism Of Allan L. McDermott,
ana there are not a few who intended
10 vote for Palmer and Buckner who
threaten to go right over to Mckinley
sticking to the local nominees of the
Regular. Democracy if the crank idea is
carried out of nominating a straight
sound money ticket no candidate on
which IS the nominee of any h fac
ton.
The rumors Of discomfort nave gon
far and wide. In the Philadelphia
.Pressg of this morning, we find a Jer-
sey City despatch, in which the following
remarks are made
The action Of the new committee III
declaring against the candidacy of Allan
J.. McDermott. who was nominated by
the regular organization of the party, -
strongly condemned by prominent sound
money Democrats, who think it viii IN
jure the new movement. Mr.. McDermott
was one of the first TO denounce the Chi
cage platform. and he Is regarded as
one Of the strongest advocates of sound
money in the country.
The trouble, we understand, exists not
only among the voters. The action of
the Hudson leaders has caused some dis
cordant feeling in the State organization.
The men who understand politics, like
Senator Winton, for instance, regard the
nomination of the State ticket as alb
e~olutely ~fatuous. besides being a bitter
wrong to a great Democratic Sound
Money leader.
The local ananagers of the Third Tick
ct movement have given the public no
explanation Of their attitude towards Mr..
McDermott. II is whispered, however.
that they give ii in private as an excuse
that he has taken no part in their move
ment If he had come out at first, he
might have been chosen to go to Indian
apolis. they are said to say, and they
. would then have cordially supported him.
II this is their reason for going bach on
Rim now, it is a poor one. We fail to see
how ne was in any way obliged to join
in their proceedings. and. if it comes to
that, we fail to see when they gave him
any opportunity to do so. This torgani-
cation has been something of a close cor
poration from the outset.
The .worldy Of this morning tells US
that The aim of the gentlemen who are
engineering this movement, is to get a
standing in The county. and after election
make a fight to take the place of the Ma
chine County Communicative use the word
Machine in no offensive sense-as the
Regular Democratic organization. This
purpose is oniy too apparent. The gold
cause simply affords some Of these gentle-
men an opportunity TO renew the fight for
supremacy in the party which they LOST
a little over two years ago.
This is the pity Of it ali, These gem
tiemen are not content to stay In the party
ana struggle to make their influence fell
for higher things within It's lines-a slow
but sure road to victory. They prefer
10 hght from without. and as they lack
the political instinct. judgment and knowl-
edge Of methods, they always get beaten
and occasionally 50 badly beaten that they
