Outside of the newcomers there are hardly dozen
deleoates ON the ground, though there are seVeIM
candidates already here.
The situation as yet is entirely vague. Notnins
can be considered settled until the New-iork
difficulty is put out of the way. The convention Is
40 overwhelming against Tammany that the eAciu-
sion of John Kelly and his delegation Is expecteu
osa matter of course: but in the desire to make
sure OF this the Tlden leaders seem to nave causco
all other things to wait Careful and usually trust
xyortbv Tilden men say that there is not single
Congressional District in the State IN which their
opponents have majority. They therefore claim
that the Committee Credentials Will
be made up entirely of men OF ther
faith. and that the report IN 1aVor
of admitting the delegation of the County Democ-
racy. which will assuredly be made, Will be unah-
NOUS The leaders of the County organization say
that the public in general do not seem to be aware
of the pefection of their title to seats as the only
regular delegation. The Tammany delegates VINO
were admitted last year by an amicabe arrangement
Nth the then Irving Hall organization were
elected at the Irving Hall primaries and were adj
mitted to the Convention on Irving Hall certifi-
Gates Mr.. Kelly himself admitted on lrv-
Eng Hall credentials. 1t is argued, there
fore. that the claim OF the County
Democracy as the direct successor to the Irving
Hall organization is clear and that they Will GER
tainIy be placed upon the roll by the State Com
mittee under the Apgar resoluti,- OF several
years ago. which required In case OF
a contest those delegates to be recog-
nized as regular who come from the organiza-
tion whose delegates were admitted to the previous
Convention.
After this matter has been adjusted it is Thought
likely that recess will be taken and conference
of leading men in the Convention Will result
In making "a slate" on nominations
There is no reason to believe that
snch a "slate" exists now. Even Daniel Man
ming the recognized leader Of the llden men, Is re-
ported as saying to-day to his friends that he had no
preferences as to candidates. The solid support OF
the County Democracy, after their admission,
would of course carry through any nomination the
Tiden leaders propose, and that support would, OF
course be rendered. in return for the recognition the
organization would have received There are
swarms of candidates named for every place. Ii is
thought that the policy of the Tilden leaders Will
be to make up ticket of strong names without
much regard Tor the places for which they may have
been named Ex-Attorney General SchOonmaker,
for example, is candidate for Judge
of the Court of Appeals, but it is
thought not unlikely that he may be forced on to
the head of the ticket, leaving the Judgeship prob
ably to William Ruger, of Syracuse. 1t is regarded
@I,.+ OF
or William C.. Ruger will be put upon the ticket
as concession to the former opponents of Illden,
with the chances in favor of Mr.. Ruger Of all the
candidates named thus far Robert A. Max
well of Genesee County, candidate
for State Treasurer, is the only one who has
secured lead which seems to make his nomination
probable. slate" however, incluuing some
o her candidate would of course defeat him.
j. Thomas Spriggs, of Utica, is here
working hard to finish the ticket with his own NOM
inatiOn for Attorney General. So far Mr. Spriggs
and ex-Sena. )r Roswell S. Parmenter of Troy, are
the principal candidates for this place. with dozen
vi fifteen others in the field. Senator John
c. Jacobs will probably be made temporary
chairman of the Convention, and perhaps
permanent also. although he protests against TAX
ing the place. Senator Jacob is a skilled par
Eamentarian, has an athletic way of welding
the gayel, and is general favOrite,
and at the same time the Tilden men
know that his heart is always the side
of Reform" General Sckles's early appearance
here is ascribed to desire to be temporary chair
man, but the Democrats of the interior look scorn
full at the suggestion and make objurgatOry re-
marks about those Democrats that are too re-
cent" The present expectation is that the
Convention viii last two days. 1t does not meet
until o'clock In the afternoon of Tuesday, which
means o'clock. The New-York contest, however,
vii be scarcely more than formality, and there
are said TO be no contests outside of NewYork. The
Convention could undoubtedly finish It's work
In day. But the leaders believed to be
