The controversy over the character of the nemination and platform to be made by Tammany in the mayeralty fight ir New York is exciting a decp interest among democrats frum a national point of view. It is generally conceded that if Tammany ignores the Chicago platform and pats up a candidate for mayor of Greater New York who did not support Bryan at the last presidential election, the democratic party will be split to pieces in New York, and that in other parts of the east the effect will be felt. Moreover, it will be the begirning of a serious con- test in the next democratic national con- vention. Such a ncmination being made, the National Democratic Organizetion will undoubtedly directly or indirectly en- courage the followers of Bryan and ud- tes of silver in the east to hold their organization together in the name of the democracy, and if the radical silver ele- ment controls the rext national conven- tion, as apparently it will, through its delegations in the south .and= west, the eastern silverites will be given recognition. This will be equivalent to an abandonment of any hope of doing anything in the east, and will be the signal for concentration of effort in the west and south, with a fight on sectional lines. Private information, however, received by democratic leaders from New York in- dicates that this situation may be avoided by Tammany’s taking «a middle course: It is predicted very positively that while Tammany is almost certuin to ignore thé Chicago platform, the candidat? ne minaied will be one who supported Bryan during the last presidential campaign, 2nd whose loyalty to the Chicago ticket will not be questioned. This will not satisfy the ultra silver men, but it is believed that they will support the nominee, while by résolu- tion and on the stump, adhering to the platform. The policy of the national. democratic managers is to make ro overtures and no sort of concession to those former demo- crats who refused to support Bryan. The general disposition is to treat the gold democrats cavalierly, But ityis gaid that if they-ccome back into the party)awithout condition or betaine they will be ac- cepted as in good standing. i No Weakening by Silgeri ‘The spirit with which any dogs stion of harmonizing the penises in the party is received in the ns ee justrated by views expressed by esentatives.
