mittee Tucsdii; to oulchilly notify him
of bis nomination, but in advance of
the'r coining he gave out a letter no

In this statement Mr Timelier said:
"While 1 bad not Miiuht the nomina

give me his suppott, I was willing and
eager to contend against that system
of bosslsm' which is today in control
of the public iiffuiiM of the state of
New York. I was prepared to organ
ize the Demoerutlo party from one
cud of the state to thu other on a line
of battle iiguiust that system, und to
wage an unremitting and vigorous
warfare.
"it iitts developed ill the considera
tion of the tesolutlon by which thu
statu committee appointed your com
mittee, as well us in tho public press
anil other public and private coiuiuiiu
ioalions, tlial tin tv is a er. decided
desire on tlio part of the liemocraliu
pit ly to contest the election on thu
lib-tract ij'tcstioti of the unlimited
coinage of silver at the unalterable
ratio of ID to 1 as compared with gold,
mid tn iguoic or subordinate every
oilier state issue.
"It is apparently the purpose of the
party at l hi time to make the accept
ance of an c.tivmo political sentiment
the sole test of a candidate of the
Democracy. It does not sunn to bo
eiiouch that men aie willing to sup
port the regular candidate on thu reg
ular Democratic ticket, but thev are
ieitiirod to subsoi ibe to every letter
unci phtuseof that platform.
"It is impossible for me, with the
views I hold, to make a contest on the
coinage Issue. I believe in the good
old Democratic doctrine of the joint
free and cipial use of L'old ami sliver.
This doctrine is us fur removed from
the single use of gold, which eniiblen
speculators to juggle with its value, as
It is frum that other principle which
seeks to establish an impossible ratio
for its sister metal. I feel that as an
houotubk- man I should make way for
some one who can carrv the banner
with that device."
