AGAINST A THIRD TICKET
coLp-sTANDARD DEMOCRATS ARE NOT
LIKELY TO FAVOR ONE.
rrg BELIEF GENERAL AMONG THEM THAT
THE COUNTRY WILL BE BEST SERVED BY
THEIR VOTING FOR MKINLEY-DEC1sION

THE COUNTRY WILL. BE BEST SERVED BY
THEIR VOTING FOR MKINLEY-DEC1sIoN
TO RE REACHED IN A FEW DAYS.
The Eastern gold-standard Democrats who
sat silent in the recent National Convention
have returned home, but the world is far
ever from knowing definitely what course will
he followed by the Democratic leaders who re-
fused to take any action in the Chicago Con-
yention. William. c. Whitney. tired out by the
lahors Of the Convention. rested at his home
IN West Ffty-seventh-st. yesterday and denied
himself to all callers. The other members Of
his party also were inaccessible. There were
few politicians in town. but gossip was rife
about the hotels and political headquarters
to the probable action of Mr. Whitney and his
friends to straighten out the Democratic tangle.
The general disposition of the majority Of
Democrats. so far as can be learned, is to make
certain the election of Mckinley and Hobart
upon the National ticket and then bend every
energy to carry the State election upon Demo-
cratic platform. Some of the radical ones yes
terday expressed themselves as favoring an
other National ticket. but 1t said by
pemocrat that the wiser counsels of the gold
standard Democrats in all probability would
prevail and that the National ticket Of the
Republican party would he turned to as the
best relief afforded. Those who wish to insure
McKinley's election say that Democratic vote
cast for Mckinley is Of more value than three
votes cast for candidate OF the Democratic
party competing with the Chicago candidate
and running upon gold-standard ticket
II is further argued that all the candidate
would have TO stand for is the gold Standard
which is amply represented by Mckinley. with
the few remaining issues Of the Democratic
party, which a rule are regarded with ols-
favor over the country. Again it was said by
prominent Democrat that the running of
third ticket might cause such a division OF votes
that Bryan might, under some contingency,
gain the lead" While this is not looked upon
as at all probable yet many Democrats who look
upon the maintenance of the Nations credit as
much more sacred than any party pledge nave
expressed a wish of securing the election OF NC
Kinley beyond peradventure
ATTITUDE OF MIR. HILL.
One of the gold-standard Democrats in favor
of voting for Mckinley said yesterday tnat'
uh,,e there are some men among the gold-stand-
ard minority in the party who wish TO poit the
nomination and prefer to run candloate OIL
their own instead Of accepting Repubhcansm'
Senator Hill who demonstrated his ability as a
leader among the minority at Chicago, is strons-
,v opposed to a bolt The Senator, 1t was saio'
primarily wishes to avoid a bolt and save the
badge of regular" for the organization OF wnich
ne 4. the head. 1t was further said that Sena-
tor Hill does not countenance the chicago TICKET
and would not openly support Mckinley but
that he would take practically the same stand
which MANY other Democrats have taken, that
,h., are stiIl Democrats, but that this Is time
for every man to act as principle dictates An
other argument given against an open oolt as
made bv Senator Hill is that there is within the
State Of New-York among the Democrats Of the
rural districts a latent free-conage sentiment,
and that bolt and the placing in the held OF
gold standard candidate by the Eastern Demo-
Gratis would give these rural districts the chance
they want. 1t would afford them an opportunit"
10 organize under the banner of the Democratic
party and make the fight for free coinage under
the name Of the regular organization This. so
Senator Hill Is reported to have declared IS
what Tillman. Altgeld and Bryan are hoping
for. and il is what Hill wishes to prevent.
Perhaps the sentiments of the Tammany
braves were expressed tersely by a district
leader yesterday when the question of bolt
was being discussed. He was asked If Tam
many would bolt the Chicago ticket He re-
pied in tone that evinced disgust for the
Chicago nominees: Bolt? Well we ought 10;
but 90 you suppose we are going TO poit anu
Not your life.
While admitting that the ticket was nau-
seating dose, a well-known Democrat re-
marked Yesterday that a bolt might act as
boomerang. He reluctantly admitted that
within the lines Of his party in the eastern
States including New-York Maine. Vermont,
and Massachusetts, there was consideraoie
sentiment in favor Of the white metal
