Ho Was Nominated on a Silver Plat
 form at Buffalo.
 ALBANY, Sept 22-By making an of ficial statement last night of his position upon the financial question and by de- elaring i'll that statement that he is un- alterably for gold, John Boyd Thacher, Democratic nominee for governor, cre- ates one of the most curious situations ever known in politics in this stat . The statement was issued after lop 2 conference with Senator Hill, Elliott G. Danforth, who was at Senator Hills house; D. Caddy Herrick, the Demo- cratic in this county. It was addressed to the chairman of the state committee.
 It is believed this course is approved by Mir. Hill. w F sheehan and others not in attendance at the state conven- ton and is intended to try and fend off any nomination of g second Democrat c ticket at Brooklyn nnd inforce q fight at the polls upon state issues, leaving the national ticket entirely out of the ques- tion Mir Thaeher declares that he is against free silver, but will vote for Bryan and Sewall for regularity and fight the campaign on state issues only.
