The Movement to Oust Thacher Tem- porarily Laid Aside. The New York democratic state central committee held a long and heated meeting at the Hoffman House, in New York, last night. A sensation was created by the appearance of Senator Hill, who arrived from Albany late, bearing a proxy. The ward contested cases were heard, and the Hill men were seated on a vote of 25 te 19. It was very nearly 11 o'clock when the fight over Mr. John Boyd Thach- er, the rominee for governor, who repudi- ated the Chicago platform, was precipi- tated by the reading of his letter address- ed to Chairman Danforth and defining nis position. The reading of the document was listened to very attentively, and then John B. Shea of Tammany introduced a resolution calling upon Mr. Thacher to resign his nomination. In an instant there was a tumult, a dozen members striving to speak at once. Mr. Shea declared that Mr. Thacher could have given his views upon the financial question before the convention had he intended to be henest. Senator Hill then took the floor. For thirty minutes he held the attention of his auditors, skillfully avoiding any reference to his cwn views upon indorsement of the ticket or platform of the Chicago conven- ticn, but basing his whole argiment upon the ground that the candidate for gover- nor in the state this fall should be a strong man upon state issues, and that there was no need of forcing national issues into the campaign. Senator Hill’s Position. Senator Hill insisted that ‘Thacher had been guilty of no bad faith in taking the nemination. Every one in the Buffalo con- vention knew exactly where he stood when j they nominated him. He was opposed to the platform and had so declared himself. Against his wishes he had consented to in- Gorse the ticket and that should be sufti- cient. He repelied the allegation that Mr. Thacher knew what the platZorm was when he was nominated. He pointed out that the pemination was made within twenty min- utes after the adoption of the platform and that therefore he could not have known what it contained. No opportunity had been given him by the convention, which was informed 2s to his | attitude, to accept or reject the platform upon which he was asked to stand. Senator Hill attacked Chairman Jones of the national committee, for interfering in the state situation. He also paid his re- spects to Treasurer St. John, who had heen ir. the committee room lobbying against Thacher up to the time when the meeting was called to order. He then took up the Chicago platform and gave the first expression of his opinion of it that he has given since he fought it in the national convention. “There are some things in that that no man can call democratic, clared. “There are things in it which no dermocrat can support.” He closed by urging again that Thacher’s ¢eclaration that he would vote for Bryan and Sewall should be sufficient. ‘Then Mr. Hill went a little further, His voice wes husky, ard he evidently was overcome with his effort, but he still at- tacked the platform. “There is altogether too much populism in the platform. Every leader and every man with common sense in the party knows this. Do you want to whip them out in the manner you would whip Thacher cut? It is political cowardice. Don’t do it. If we go down let us go down with our colors flying and our old leaders at our heads.” It was after midnight when he concluded with an attack on the free coinage clause and Senator Grady began his rejoinder. Grady on the Floor. Senator Thomas F. Grady tock the floor to present the case of Tammany Hall and the anti-Thacher alliance when Hill ended. He spoke with no less heat than Senator Hill himself had displayed, and his high pitched voice could be heard outside the closed doors of the committee room. He declared that if Thacher persisted in remaining on the ticket not 50,000 votes would be cast for him in New York city. He asserted that Thacher would never have been nominated in Buffalo If his posi- tion had been known. He denied Senator Hill's statement that Thacher had made his attitude toward the Chicago platform clear. “How can we ask men to vote for Bryan with Thacher on the ticket?” demanded Grady. “Unless he withdraws the state of New York will be surely republican for ten years to come. The national ticket will be beaten anyway, if present indica- tions are te be trusted. Why make the situation worse than it already is by sup- porting a gold man for governor?” Grady spoke for Hill's enemies in the committee. “Let the newspapers tomorrow morning say that the committee has defeated this resolution asking Thacher to withdraw, said he, “and our campaign will be ended.” He said that no cemocrat in the state had ever insisted more strongly on regularity than Senator Hill. He had prated of regu- larity in season and out of season, and any deviation had been sufficient under his leadership to mark for destruction those who strayed. Yet now Senator Hill him- self seemed to be in revolt. “In our state convention in June we de- ciared in favor of international bimetal- said Senator Grady. “The Indian- apolis rump convention slapped us in the face with a declaration for the single goid standard. It characterized the principle for which we had declared as a will o' the wisp. How can we fallow the lead of that convention?” He told the committee that the rank and file of the party, the men who work at the polls on ciection day, were for Bryan and Sewall. More than 8) per cent of the party, he said, were for the Chicago plat- ferm. “Our platform,” said he, “is the platform of a majority of the committee on resolutions, chosen by senate districts, Those who refuse to accept it are bolters.”” Tkere were a pumber of amendmenis propcsed. They were all withdrawn and a substitute was adopted by a vote of 46 to 2. It follows: “Resclved that a committee of five be appointed by the chair to notify the can- didates upon the state ticket of thelr nom- ination and that such committee report back to this committee at a meeting to be held cn Monday evening, September 23, the result of its actio This is construed a8 a move to tide over matters until after the Brooklyn conven- tion of the gold standard democrats tumer- row.

Senators Shut Of Many a Hit That Looked Sate. The game of base ball yesterday after- nocn at National Park between Tem Brown's Senators and Scrappy Joyce’s Giants had proceeded seven innings when Umpire Lynch proclaimed to the 3,800 spectators that the contest was at an end. This decision was entirely satisfactory, for the home club had Hterally walked away with the hired men from Manhattan Is- land from the start. Victory was casy; very, very easy; due mainly to superb pitching by Jimmy McJames, aided by timely hitting and tip-top fielding on the part of his colleagues. For six long in- nings the record of the Giants was a beau- tiful, unmarred blank, with the exception of one solitary little hit in the opening in- ning, and that was a toss-1p between a hic and an error. New York's only clean hit of the game happened in the seventh, when Tiernan sent the tall over DeMontreville’s head, sending in the lone run credited to Joyce's nine, Warner having reached first on balls, second on Sullivan's out at first and third on Van Haltren's scratch hit in” front of the plate. Threc hits—two of them questionable—are a pretty good record for a twirler these days. Washington took a commanding lead in the first two innings. In the first, with two out, Selbach singled to right, went to third when Werner threw wild in vent a steal, and walked hom: two-bagger. By the way, the duke quite hanay with the bat, driving out thre singles, in addition to the double, his bat- ting average being 100 for the game ngton added three more runs in the second on hits by Brown, Cartwright an DeMontreville, and an error by Sullivar another occurred in the fifth on hits by DeMontreviile, Farrell and Smith and a base on balls to Selbach. There might have been two more scores at this stage of the game, but DeMontre- ville was caught in an attempt to steal, and Farrell, after reaching third, was rafied at the plate. As a sort of fitting wind up Wasbingten sent a brace of rur ners arovnd in the seventh. Lush, the firs batter, waited for balls and proceeded to second when DeMontreville thrown out by Pitcher Michael ach sent the sphere to the and tle board for three bases, and, of course, Lush had lots of time to complete the circuit. Far- rell’s fourth hit scored Se!hach, and Scrap- py had been downed again by his erst- while ccmrades. Smith, DeMontreville and Brown are entitled to credit for extremely difficult plays.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 23.—Tne eastern tennis experts, Wrenn, Larned and Carr B. Neel, are not to grace the far western courts with thelr presence this year. Their visit is off, and the tennis loving people of San Francisco and ne:gh- boring towns, as well as the tennis players ihemselves, are sorely disappointed. The first intimation of tie fatiure of the scheme was the delay in starting on account of the necessity of Larned’s presence at his home, where his parents were sudden taken ill. The others awaited the coming of Larned in Chicago. Then Wrenn, who is a student at Harvard, remembered just in time that the fall term begins in Se tember. Yesterday a final dispatch was ri ceived from Neel to the effect that Hovey had flatly refused to make the trip, an] the project was thereupon abandoned. Great Gift for Eduention.
