HILL FOR A THIRD TICKET.
The Announcement Given Out by Per
sonal Friend ofthe senator.


sonal Friend OF the senator.
Nrw YORK, July Ex-senator Hin Is
now In favor Of third ticket. This infor-
nation comes direct from personal
friend Of the senator The action Of the
Populist convention at ST. Louis Is what
seems 10 have caused Mr.. Hfil TO come 70
a decision as TO his course He feels that
his best interests lie in identifying himself
with the gold men of the east. The posi-
tion Of the senator is thus outlined by the
friend in question as follows:
"Mr. Hill has been between two fires
from both factions Of the party for some
time. He couldn't indorse the Chicago
platform, nor could he advocate the elec-
ton Of any candidate who stood upon It,
The st. Louis Populist convention only
served TO widen the breach between the
sound money and silver wings Of the
party, making it impossible TO bridge it,as
the western Democrats had practically af-
filiated with the Populists in everything
but in name.
Senator Hill may just now possibly
deny that he has decided to support n
third ticket, but you will find tina; when
tnt convention lllttls, MI
Hill will be against the Bryan ticket.
The New York senator is simply follow
ing the footsteps of Flower Whitney,
lamont and other eminent leaders In the
Empire state"
Senator Hill himself continues non
committal, and the state committee,
which meets at the Hoffman House, will
merely decide to call the convention al
Saratoga without indicating any line OF
policy. This method is said to be for the
purpose OF waiting for something to
turn up" in the near future. That is 10
say, it will give the Cleveland men a
chance to get their third ticket In the
field in the meantime.
All doubt as to Tammany's intentions
concerning the Chicago ticket and plat
form was set at rest Monday by the issue
Of call for meeting of the executive
committee Friday To range the details
for ratifying the ticket. This step was
decided upon by Mr. Martin and John c.
Sheehan in accordance with the expressed
desires of thirty two out OF thirty five dis
trict leaders of Tammany. Senator Hill
and other leaders of the state organization
have endeavored To induce Tammany to
defer action until after the state conven-
tion, but the majority of the district lead
ers in the wigwam is opposed to any post
ponement and the ratification meeting tC
indorse the Chicago ticket including
Sewall, will he held next week.
