That was the question that agitated the members of the democratic state contra , 'ommlHoo last night , but with their cus tomary politic il agility the troublesome ob- Htnulo was successfully surmounted at.il straddled , nnd that , too , without putting a vote or making a scratch en paper. The deal contemplates tbo delivery of tbo democratic vote of Iho slate to the Weaver electoral ticket , and nt Iho sumo time allow the domo- cratlo ticket lo romaln In the Held , but according lo Iho statements of the members themselves the situation will bo oven tnoie complicated than it was boforo. Some pot names were called , but as the mooting iidjotiincd without bloodshed llio .cssloii may bo called Imimonlous from an untomlicd standpoint. A woid or Iwo of rotrosppcllon ns to the stuto ot nffnirs that lad up to the meeting may not bo out of place in this connection. Il will bo remembered that Kuclid Martin , chaltnmn of the committee nnd the self- tljlod leader of the anti-Uoyd forces , wont lo Chicago n couple of weeks ago in his olllciil capacity us member of the board of malingers of the World's fair to attend iho dedlcatoiy oxeiciscs , and from there bo went on to Now Yonlf to Interview thu democratic national committee and sco wnat bo could do to Kill Governor Boyd's pull with that body.

First and foremost was the story of fusion with the independents on iho stiita ticket. 11 didn't m uteri ill i/o , but it w as the cause of an > number of stormy Interviews between the commHtpeincn.

It was not Strlcklor's efforts that caused tbo deal to fall through , hownvor.

" C.iin is < lng tlio Situation. The meeting was called to orJar , and the fust business ontoied UDon was the consid eration of thn various nominees for the state sonulo and legislature , with reference to their nttiuuic on prohibition. Not a man escaped , no matter what his politics or the platform of the paiiy thit nominated him Jt was asccit.nr.eil that of all Ibo nominees ofill the pnties there woio thirty-eight pro hibitionists among tlio senatorial and fortj- scvcn among 111- nominees for the lower house III the counties whtio piohibition is un popular the I'loblbttorv records of the op posing cnulidatcs will bo worked against thorn for all tlicy aio woith , while Iftbero happens to boi democratic prohibitionist running for oflico 'r.

The chairman stated tbat any * number of letters had been iccolvpd from all parts of the s'.ito , asking for Information as lo what course thu state committee recommended with reference to the electoral * ticket. Ho i.uid lhat the general tone of Ihcso letter w ate the effect that the oest Interests of the party would be conserved by voting the straight party ticl.ol. Mr. ShPhan chipped in lo say that iho w liters weio nearly all positive that Morton would run ahead of tno vote tocolved by Boid two joais ago In every county outsiao of Uouglis. This occasioned n call for a statement ns to the reul situation in this county , nud Mr. Martin stated thai a poll was boiutr made of the county nnd that there was uolhlng voiy encouraging mil thnc tar. Ho said that the Independents would poll a heavier vote In Douglas county this j ear than ever befoio nrd lhat \ an Wvck's vote heio would bo veiy near "i.OOO , but that Van Wvck would run ahead of his ticket. Ho was soriv to say Hint iho independents had gamed most of their stioncth fiom the democrats and tliat the lopubllcau state ticket would go out of this county Ibis vear with u plurality of sevoial thousand.

Bullalo county'b roprcsoutattvo ex pressed the belinf that In his county 70 per cant of Iho doiiiocralio vote would go lo Weaver , Mr. Martin wanted Iho Hour himself , so ho called iho Buflalo man down nnd proceeded to state thai the-independents had not mndo any sslii In Mrcnglh since two \cars aero , while , on tlio other hand , thev hud lost In soveitil localities , 'Ibo republicans had made hnuvy gains , according to reports re , ceived at democratic headquarters from reli able men in all parts of the state , and ho was certain tbil it would require iilmoit every democratic vo'o , In addition to those lhat would bu casi by the Independents , to carry Iho stale tor tbo Weaver electors. Ho bald lhat some of the democrats would vote for the Woav or electoral ticket In spltoof all the btato committee could dothould it decide not to throw the inutv vote to tbo populist can didate , but bu felt that the committee should bo sum tbat it wits right before It went nhonil. llo said Unit homo of the democrats out through.thostato could not understand tliu proposed rno\eand thousht that some thing wns wrong.
