SENATOR HILL TALKS.

New York, Sept. Ex-senator D. B.
Hill said to an Associated press report
er today: The final outcome of the
meeting of the state committee last
night was a victory for those who are
anxious to preserve our state organi-
cation, no matter what the divisions
may be upon national issues. 1t was a
victory to those who do not believe
that a man is not a good party mar
unless he swallows everything or can
not stand upon a platform unless he be-
lieves in every statement in it %unquali-
fiedly. The stories this morning to the
effect thai the resolution finally adopt
ed was for the purpose of sending a
committee to see Mr.. Thatcher as to his
views, is unqualifiedly false.
THE resolution adopted was the
usual one and merely asks hal a COM
mittee be appointed to tell Mr.. Thacher
that he is the nominee of the party. No
qualifications of any kind are in it.
MIR. Gardy offered a resolution as a
substitute for Mr.. Shea's and which
read:
Resolved. That a committee of five
be appointed to wait upon John Boyd
Thatcher and request his acceptance Of
the nomination of governor upon an
unqualified Endorsement of the Buffalo
platform
II pointed out that such a resolution
was impossible, and when the debate
had progressed far enough a substitute
was introduced which read:
"'Resolved, That a committee OF five
be appointed to notify the candidates
on the state ticket of their nomination
and that such committee report back
to the state committee at a meeting to
be held Monday, September %. the re-
suit of its action
just what it says and it tool the place
of the other resolution. Under it the
committee has nc power to project it's
views at Mr.. Thatcher. but merely to
announce to him his nomination. He
will do the talking"
The clerk and secretary of the COM
mittee later verified the text of the res
olution as given by Senator Hill. There
were only two votes against it and one
Senator Grady not voting.
Chairman Danforth said that it was
not true, as stated in a local paper, that
Mr.. Hill had said that he would rather
see the democratic party in HI than
on the Chicago platform, and Mr.. Hill
corroborated the denial.

Gloomy Outlook.

Denver, Colo. Sept. 23.-The impress
sion that the presence of troops in
Leadville would end the strike has been
dissipated by the reports which reach
ed Governor Mcintyre today from
Leadville. He is told that miners from
Aspen, Cripple Creek and a Juan are
quietly gathering at Leadville and at
an opoprtune moment the strikers will
burn the town. The governor has in
quired unofficially, of Brigadier Gen.
Wheaton, commander of the military
department of Colorado. as to what as
%sistance the federal authorities can
render in case of emergency on a few
hours notice. Col. Merriam of the Sew
enth infantry, stationed at Fort Logan,
has been apprised that his command
may receive orders to take the field,
and the troops will be ready when the
official call comes
Thirty warrants were issued today
by the district court for the officers and
members of the executive committee
of the Miners union, all charged with
the murder of Jerry O'Keefe. Fifteen
have been served and the men named
are in the county Jail. Edward Boyce,
Of Idaho, president OF the western fed
Grafton of miners was placed in Jail
by the city marshal this evening, the
sheriff stating he was there for safe
keeping. no charges having been made
against him as yet. There has been a
meeting of the Miners union at the
city hall this evening in spite of the
protests of Gen. Brooks. who sent a
gatling CUR to the hall, the commander
of the detachment being instructed to
prevent the meeting. The gun was
later returned to the battery headquar-
tiers. the union meeting having been
held at an early hour and being in ses-
sion but 10 minutes. The excitement
is again at fever heat. owing to the
flood of alarming rumors and the fail
ure to declare martial law. The night
is damp, cold and quite cloudy.

TarIR Rankruptod Mckinley.

We found the following going the
rounds:
Another gentleman, who ought to
know, because he was hand in glove
with the New York delegation, tells a
good story about the platform and the
ticket. He said:
Here's another fact showing the
pull the New York people had. The
money plank in the platform was
brought to the New York delegation for
ratification. That plank was in the
handwriting of H. H. Kohlsaat, editor
Of the Chicago Times-Herald, McKin-
ley's warmest and strongest friend in
the west. Kohlsaat went down in his
pocket and paid $4,000 in cash to help
Mckinley out of his financial troubles
several years ago. He is a politician
as we'll as an editor, and was acting
under instructions at st. Louis. Kohl
saat can have what he wants If Nc
Kinley gets there. His chances for the
cabinet are bright, because he is an
able man, and, never having held Of
fee, has no enemies. Chicago would be
glad to see him honored, regardless Of
party"
McKlnley's tariff helped to swamp
Mckinley, and then the millionaires
paid his debts and put him on his feet.
II he Is elected they will own him
even to the clothes on his back.
