 New York, Sept 2S.-The regular democratic ticket of the state of New York was revised by the state commit, tee, which met here this evening, and is now as follows:
 For governor-Wilbur F. Porter of WatertoWn.
 For lieutenant governor--Frederick c. Schraub of Lowville.
 For associate justice of the court of appeals-Robert c. Titus of Buffalo.
 It was supposed that Elliot Danforth. chairman of the state committee, would be placed at the head of the ticket to fill the vacancy caused by the declina- tion of MT. Thacher. At the eleventh hour MT. Danforth, who had been in telephonic communication with Senator Hill, decided that he would not permit his name to be used It is said that the extreme silver men, who were the first to push MT. Danforth. began to have doubts as to the genuineness of his silver views. His close friendship for Senator Hill also did not please them.
 To top 1t all MT. Bryan came to town just before the committee met and counselled, putting Judge Porter at the head of the ticket and naming Ger man for second place. As these com plications arose there were talks over the long distance phone between MT. Danforth and Senator Hill which end ed in advice from the senator that MT. Danforth quit the race. Mir. Schraub was the choice for lieutenant governor of the extreme silverites and also of those who cater to the farmer vote. His connection with the agricultural experiment. station and his record as commissioner of agriculture were among the qualifications which his friends said would bring strength to the ticket. No change was made in the third place on the ticket.
 Mir Schraub was somewhat averse to having his name used, and considera- ble urging was necessary before he agreed to stand. At the meeting to- night the declination of MT. Thacher was formally announced, and Chairman Danforth himself presented the name of Porter. There was no other name. Before the vote was taken MT. Purroy inquired where MT. Porter stodd in re- gard to the platform. MT. Danforth stated that Mir Porter would stand squarely upon the platform of the con- vention and would fully endorse the | Chicago platform.
 The vote fol MT. Porter was unani- l nous. MT. Schraub was then chosen as candidate for lieutenant governor by unanimous vote. Mir Schraub appeared before the committee and made a speech of acceptance. He said the democrats should close up their ranks and present a solid front to the enemy. He declared he stood In favor Of the Chicago platform. Mir. Schraub is at present q director of the state ag- ricultural station at Geneva He was a delegate to the Saratoga convention. which declared for sound money, and he later served as a delegate to the Chicago convention. Soon after his re- turn east he declared for Bryan and Sewall and free silver.
