b.stancy in condemning the work OF the chicago
Convention He was asked to say something con-
c.rning the nomination Of third ticket and replied
DEFEAT OF SILVER THE ONLY QUESTION.
Il newer shall support anybody on a free-shver
platform. So far az am concerned. the only Qnes-
ton would be as to the most effective method OF
d..eat,ne the ticket whether by nominating third
ticket or by supporting Mckinley. The objection
to third ticket is that in some States In the West
It would be an injury 10 the cause 10 diV1ue the
forces opposed TO the silver party. The advantage
Of third ticket would be - give an opportunity FOR
q man remain Democrat. and at the same time
10 for honest money. This would Keep the
party together. so that IT might be useful instru-
megrt in the better times which will come for Denoc-
racy when rescued out of the clutches Of Popu-
ism and Anarchy"
do you think the nomination OF third ticket
would injure the chances of Mckinley"
Il do not think that any which can now
be taken will defeat Mckinley. believe that the
silver theory. II 1t Is debated out through the
country. it will be. will die OF its own weight
Il will disappear in the battle as the greenback
,raze did. 1t is really further development OF
The greenback craze. and 1t will share the same
late. Still. would not like TO press for third
domination. when 1t might discourage people as
% the result in the States in the West. where the
,old forces need encouragement.
Il don't know anything about the nominee. ex-
,ept that have a general impression that it would
,e a very dangerous experiment 10 intrust into his
lands powers. the delicate and important duties
involved In the Presidency OF the United States.
imagine that his experience would hardly fit him
or the duties Of such position and that 1t would
"a an entirely unsafe experiment to elect him. He
nav be different from what We Eastern people
hirk him. but would need be 10 get our votes"
Marshall g. briggs a lifelong Democrat Of the old
chooI said THE Chicago Convention does not
epresent tho true Democracy. They are trying to
oit upon the people deprecated currency. and II
here il not another candidate in the field represent
,g the honest portion Of the Democratic party and
sold standard. shall vote for William Mckinley"
uDGWAY WILL VOTE FOR ANYTHING |

Ex-Distrct- Attorney Ridgway delivered himself |
this remark yesterday: II would vote the Demo- |
ratio ticket on any - platform. II would make no

Ex-Congressman William J. Coombs. when seen at
Is home in South Portland-ave. spoke in no doubt
vi terms in denunciation OF the Platform and
Mate named at Chicago. He said that the Demo-
ratio party to-day is in the same condition Is
essel which through fault OF It's officers. has
amen into the hands OF a mutnous crew.
The silver men body OF revolutionists who
ave by forcible means gained control of the Demo-
ratio party but to whom true Democrats owe no
llegiance whatever. How long they will keep con-
rol Of the party is hard TO say"
I consider Bryan a more dangerous man than
bland as he in all probability. will be able TO
rol the Populis; votes. which do not think would
lave been given to Bland"

Committee. was seen at his Office in the National
City Bank Building. and declined to express any
