NEW YORK, July $, 1900.
Governor Roosevelt will have another
conference with Senator Hanna before
the week is past in regard to stump
ing the west. Both the state and
national organizations want the gov
ernor about the same time. The gov
ernors idea is to make canvass through
the state in August This will be before
the state convention meets. and. of course.
before the candidate for governor is named.
This plan the state committee wishes him
to amend. 1t would prefer that he speak
through the state either late in September
or in the month of October. The national
committee. 1t is understood desires the gov
ernor Ia go from Maine to California in one
trip. and also to stump Indiana, Kentucky.
Michigan and Wisconsin. The state COM
mittee is most anxious to have him here.
These matters are of Importance to both
state and national committees. and no
doubt both Senator Platt and Chairman
oieN will have a conference with the gov
ernor. The matter Will be agreeably adj
juSted. The question of carrying New York
state is not worrying either Senator Plat
OF senator Hanna. Both look upon it as
sure. but j trip by the governor ,,irough
the state in the heat of the campaign would
aid materially in the success of the party
in close assembly, senate and congressional
districts
While the governor will have no travel
ing to do this week beyond a trip or two
To the city. he will have sufficient to oc-
cupy his time. On next Saturday he will
b. waited upon by the notification COM
Inittee appointed by the convention, and be
officially informed of his selection as the
candidate for Vice President by the repuD-
lican party. The notification will take
place in Oyster Bay. on the lawn IN front of
the Roosevelt home. The governor then
will give out his letter of acceptance. After
the ceremony is over it is probable the
governor will have something to say. On
all occasions when asked to talk on poll
tics or his plans he has insisted he would
say nothing until after July l., the date OF
the notification.
Tammany Hall Sentiments.
1t was rather funny to listen to the senti-
ments in Tammany Hall after the Kansas
City convention There was little enthu-
siaSm manifested over the ticket and plat
form of the convention. AT the Democratic
Club only a few apathetic members were
found. At the Hoffman House those who
were there did not appear to be overconh-
dent of the outlook In fact. there was
more talk as to what would be the probable
outcome of the fight between ext tnited
States Senator David Bennett Hill and
Richard Croker than of the national ticket
Opinions to this differ widely The Tam
many men believe that Croker Will be able
To dominate the state organization. al
though they admit that in order to do this
he must retain the support of ext
States Senator Edward Murphy, Hugh Nc
Lougblin and National Committeeman Nor
man f Mack. who controls Erie county.
II is believed here that Croker secured Mr..
Macks support in return for Tammany.s
support of Mack for national committee
and a promise that Tammany would
support State Senator Nackey of Buffalo
for governor. Everybody looks for fight
to a finish between Hill and Croker. and
the opinion prevails generally that there Is
hut little hope for the democrats in the
state. and that the fight will injure legisla-
nd vch will r-Iln For
Office next fall
The city democrats do not believe
that Croker will be able to secure much
support in the country districts these
have always been loyal to Hill. CrokerS
attempt TO have Hill nominated for Vice
President was also the subject of much
comment in democratic circles 1t was be-
lieved that Croker was actuated in his move
by a desire to get the ex-senator on the
national ticket. and then knife him at the
polls. While the relations between Hill and
the Tammany leader could not be described
a. friendly at any time within the past few
years il is believed that they have now
reached degree Of bitterness which will
defy any attempt at reconciliation. Poll
uct4nS recall an incident in Hills political
care when Tammany stampeded a con-
Nention and nominated him for governor
against his will at a time when defeat
seemed inevitable for the democratic ticket;
This was at Saratoga in 1894. when HILL
who was the presiding officer Of the con-
V"ntfOn, was nominated mainly through
the oratorical efforts OF ex-Representative
Bourke Cochran and ex-State Senator
Charles l. Guy. Hill was badly beaten at
the polls by Levi p. Morton.
Gold Democrats Want Third Ticket.
As in 1896. the sentiment Is strong among
minority Of gold democrats for a third
ticket As yet those in favor of putting up
an old-line democrat have not been able to
get together. 1t was almost two months
after the nomination of Bryan in 1896 that
The gold democrats nominated Palmer and
Buckn-r IN Indianapolis. There had been

"f Bryan and Stevenson the gold democrats
have said they cannot conscientiouSIy vote
The ticket Some Of them are in accord

Sentiment prevented some of them from
voting the republican ticket in 1896 and
'hey want chance this year to vote for a
real democratic candidate again. The great
majority of gold democrats voted for Nc
kinl@y in 1885,. They are prepared to vote
for him again. and see no necessity for a
lhlrd ticket considering vote cast for 1t
vote thrown away. On the policy of ex-
pdnsi"n a third ticket would get a few votes
81 persons opposed to the administration
foreign policy. Some few republicans
might vote for II. too, for there are anti
expansion republicans as there are free
silver republicans The in favor of a
third ticket are looking forward to the so-
called liberty convention to be held in In
Giahapolis on August >. They hope to see
