4 GOLD LEADER.

ALBANY, y. Y, Sept. 2O,-By maxi
ing an official statement late tonight
of his position upon the financial
question and by declaring in that
statement that he is unalterably for
gold, John Boyd Thacher, Democratic
nominee for Governor, creates one of
the most curious situations ever
known in the politics of this state.
The statement was issued after n
long conference with Senator Hill, FL
liot Danforth, who was at Senator
Hills house. and Herrick, the Demo-
cratic leader in this county. 1t was
addressed to the chairman of the
state committee. 1t is believed that
this course is approved by Senator
Hill, William f. Sheehan and others
not i'm attendance at the state conven-
tion. and is intended to try and throw
off any nomination of second Dem
ocratic ticket at Brooklyn and en-
force a fight at the polls upon state
issues, leaving the national ticket en-
tirely out of the question. Mr..
Thacher declares that he is against
free silver, but will vote for Bryan
and Sewall for regularity and fight
the campaign on state issues only.
