 With a Silver Ticket.

| form, But will Not Assist Hangers
 on to Disrupt the Party-He Also 1 Relieves Republicans Are at the
 Back of the Third Ticket Movement. ] -J. M. Lynch of This City Appoint
 ed Member of County Committee. New Haven, Oct 11.--Hon Alexan- der Troup will have nothing to do with the Loyal National Platform democrats in their efforts to put a third ticket into the field. He did not attend the meeting of the committee l of the party, of which he was made chairman. which was held last night. He will have nothing to do with it's operations. The extent of his dis subtraction from the regular organi- zation consists in his belief that or ganizations should be formed within the party to secure the election of del I egates to the next national democratic convention who will be pledged to | the principles of the Kansas City plat form. MT Troup, it is said, was noti- fled yesterday by postal card that 3 meeting of the nominating committee would be held. Such cards, at least, were sent out Thursday by the secre- l tary of the committee, Frank Glea- son. MT Troup's action deals the movement as far as the silver end of l it Is concerned, 9 severe blow.
 ..Shall you attend the third ticket conference?'' Mr Troup was asked. l q shall not" he replied, as he looked retiectively at postal card on l the desk in front of him. sCharles l Gay came in this evening and asked me if I was going told him was not. That movement is too closely connected with the office of Martin 6 Coyle The committee is com prised largely of men who are hang ers-on about that office. I refer spe- officially to James Kehoe, ex-council- man from the fifth ward, and Peter J.. Maley, alderman from the sixth ward The resolution raising this committee was offered by Mir Kehoe. It was typewritten and the names were writ ten in with lead pencil.
 I ssBesides Charles Gay and Alexan- der Troup, the names as they origin ally appeared were Henry Donovan, ex-alderman from the ninth; Terrence Kelly, ex-alderman from the seventh, and Lawrence J. Grady. Kelly's name was afterwards cut out and the name of MT Michaels of, Bristol was | substituted and the phraseology of the resolution was changed to make it grammatical.
 After the resolution went through, Charles T. Coyle of the firm of Mar tin & Coyle, appeared on the first land- ! ing in the building where the meet l ing was held, and seemed quite so- licitous about the business going on upstairs. Now, no one who knows Coyle will ever accuse him of any sell fish motives. All his political services have been for the public good. The l great interest he took in the contract with the Boston Asphalt Co for lay ing Sicilian asphalt on Orange Trum- bull and West Chapel streets, and the interest he displayed. in water and electric light contracts, was that of a public spirited citizen. His valuable services in preventing the extension of Pearl street from Orange street to Whitney avenue were greatly for the ! benefit of the people of the eighth ward, and his great interest now in the third party movement is for the single purpose of purifying democrat I ic politics. Charlie is entirely ungel- fish. He is public spirited citizen,
 with no other motive than the public good"
 MT Troup further said to reporter that when he got ready to take part in any political movement he would not select Charles F. Coyle as the in- termediary.
 l In connection with this he said: s3It
 may be interesting to be informed that c. A. Tomlinson is authority for the statement that he has information that connects County Commissioner l Walters with the movement. MT Wal ters is one of Sheriff Dunham's best friends.
 My position,' continued MT Troup,
 frankly, is this. l go as far as the resolution offered by William H. H. Hewitt. l believed that a democrat ic organization should be formed, to operate after the present election is over, with 8 view of sending a dele gatiOn in favor of the principles en- bodied in the Kansas City platform to the next national convention"
 Mayor Charters has already re- ceived broad hint that his neighbors do not approve of his double dealing
 in politics. He wanted to attend the
 meeting of the state American Feder-
 ation of Labor in Meriden next week,
 as delegate from the Carpenters un-
 ion of Ansonia, but his society fellows
 turned him down and sent a man
 named Beardsley instead By de grees his honor will be made to feel
 that it is no joke to trife with the peo- pie.
 The bolting democrats at New Ha- ven are having tough time trying to
 arrest public attention. They want to
 conduct a sideshow, but So far they
 have had rather hard luck in getting the right kind of men. Alexander
 Troup has refused to honor the bogus
 democratic ticket by running on 1t as
 candidate for governor and now a
 committee is securing the state fol
 someone who will head the ticket. It's
 8 burning shame if the show has to
 stop for want of a leader. Someone
 should step into the breach and let the
 procession move on.
