CANTON, O., July 29.-Ex-Governor
j. NJ. Thayer of Nebraska called to
pay his respects to Governor Mckinley
today. When asked as to the political
situation in Nebraska, he said that
there was considerable anxiety in that
state at first after the nomination OF
Mr.. Bryan as to the result of the
election, but that had largely passed
away and was rapidly dying out.
I'VE no longer feel doubtful as to
where Nebraska will be found at the
November election, said Governor
Thayer 81 have been in Nebraska
since 1854 and am familiar with its
politics. We realize that we have a
hard fight, but we are like General
Grant in this, that when we have
something difficult to do we are the
most determined to succeed. The Re
publican leaders are united. There is
not a faction, and they will do good
work for Mckinley. We will get at
it early and keep at it until victory IS
won. You may put it down as thing
beyond doubt that we will carry Ne
braSka"

Want to Hear Morton.

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., July 30
Hon. j. Sterling Morton has been petit
toned by a large number of Nebraska
Democrats to deliver lecture on fl
nance before he leaves the state. He
has not yet Indicated a disposition to
comply. 1t is limited that this is merely
part of the plan by which the Morton
boom for president on the ticket of
the Morton wing of the Democratic
party may be advanced.

Piatt faction of the Republican party
in New York. Mr.. Hanna said: Mr..
Platt was not invited to the meeting,
as he was not a member of the COM
mittee. Gibbs was invited in order
that he might keep in touch with the
plans formulated. Gibbs is New
York S national committeeman, and re-
sponsible in a large measure for mat
tiers in this state"
Il am confident he added, that
the Republican party in New York
state will work tremendously for Nc
Kinley's election
John Wanameker and eX-Presldent
Harrison met at Fifth Avenue hotel
last night. Hanna declined to be in
te1viewed as to the questions discussed,
but said: Mr.. Harrison will give US
all the assistance we may require OF
him"
The most important question TO be
discussed this afternoon will be as to
the lines upon which the campaign
shall be conducted.
Frank S. Witherbee and the delega-
ton representing the American Pro-
tective league will argue in favor of
making the fight upon tariff lines
Melville E. ingalls, and others of the
financial and corporation world will ask
that the financial question be kept up
permoSt.
Hanna sadf today: Financial and
tariff questions cannot in my judg-
ment, be divorced. Our financial de-
preston or prosperity is due in the
greatest measure to our tariff condi-
tions. Mckinley shares this view with
me-"
Hanna will suggest that the tariff
leagues prosecute the fight vigorously
on their own lines and those interested
in the financial question do similar
work, the national committee giving
assistance.
Quay was in consultation with
Hanna about an hour. Neither would
say anything about the subject Of
their conversation. Vice-president nom
inee G. A. Hobart was closeted with
Hanna a long time Immediately after
ward. Hobart said: 81 had exper-
fence of campaign work as a national
commit eeman, and Hanna thinks
can assist in the New York headquar-
tiers. 1 shall not go west, but devote
my time to the east"

OMAHA, July 29.-Hon. j. Sterling
Morton will be in Omaha tomorrow.
1t is generally understood among Ne
braska Democrats that his presence is
for the purpose of a conference rela-
tive to his presidential candidacy on
the gold standard ticket
A call of the gold standard Demo-
Gratis of Nebraska to confer as to the
advisability of endorsing the plan of
putting a gold standard Democratic
national ticket into the field will be
issued within a very few days. This
was learned from an old-time Demo-
crat, who is high in the councils of
the administration Democrats in this
state.
There is no question:, he said, that
the prevailing sentiment among the
honest money Democrats of Nebraska
is strongly in favor of putting up a ma
tlonal ticket with an out and out
GOLD DEMOCRAT AS A CANDI-
DATE
for president. This feeling is born
solely of a desire to do everything pos
sible to aid in the election of McKin-
ley and not with the expectation that
the ticket will be successful in the
end. The aim and purpose of the hon
est money Democrats is to down this
Bryan craze. There is no division of
sentiment ON that point"
The latter sentence was spoken with
an emphasis that carried with it the
conviction that the speaker spoke with
authority. He is a man who has been
in close touch with the leaders of Dem
tot
and is a, close observer of men and
sdlrewd judge of political cause and
effect.
THE only difference of opinion ex-
listing among the gold Democrats, he
continued, lis with reference to the
best method of contributing to the
election of a. Republican ticket, and
saving the country from the calamity
which would surely follow the election
Of the Chicago candidate. The large
majority of the leading Democrats are
Of the opinion that a gold Democratic
ticket will draw away from Bryan a
LARGE NUMBER OF STRAIGHT
LACED DEMOCRATS,
who would sooner die than vote the
Republican ticket while there are
others who hold to the opinion that
from Mckinley. These latter are in
the minority, however, and I do not
think there is any question about Ne
brDSka supporting the idea of putting
a ticket into the field. Conferences are
being held almost daily among the
leading Democrats in the state, and it
has been practically decided to call a
convention for the purpose of consid-
ering the matter AT this convention
resolutions will undoubtedly be adopt
ed endorsing the plan of putting up a
ticket and a delegation will probably
be appointed to attend national con-
vention to be called for the purpose of
nominating candidates for president
and vice-president. The only question
now that remains to be determined is
whose signature shall be attached to
the call. This will be determined
within a very short time, and the call
will then be issued. L am not inform
ed as to where this meeting will be
held, but believe lit will be in Lin
coln.'
