Sv-p,c 1-sr sept 21.-Since the adjournment Of
he eouveu ION to-day the entire time has been oc-
,Tn.d by tia candidates and leaders ii endeavoring
10 Gv up combinations in their own interests. AT
midnight. however there had been nothing accom-
nhshed and the conditioned affairs chaotic as
~ the sa,,,e time on the previous night. AT TINS
b.-r IN. tcuntv Democracy leaders are gathered ID
sx-Navor Coopers rooms In consul atom ana are IN
freoueut communication VIII John Kelly ana tne
Tammany leaders, and strenuous effort Is under
way to agree upo- combination that Will
admit Tammauy TO the convention ana
nominate a candidate for Governor other than
Flower Tie County Democracy las made propo-
sitlou 10 Ianmany to agree upon ia admission on
a basis Of 80 votes for the County Democracy 81
zoe, for Tan,aanv and II for Irving Hall. The
ofcr also embraces an agreement unon local ucHe'
In Vev-Yolk city to lie nominated az a convention
MOO, the same basis. The reluctance of Tam
many 10 agree TO the proposition = sad to be the
pulv tliue lu tie way of It's success.
There has eIownup decided feeling of hostility
AZ tb. Dart Of the County Democracy toward Mr.
Flower because of tie speech made 10y MI OBrlen
H. tAe convention to-day, and also for the reason
that the Flower canvass, winch BIAS en- so carefully
worked I'D over the >,a,e, has also included
be admi..- on Of Irving ami Timmany Hall. The
COUNTY Democracy Leaders have found here feel
M I'D tavor Of the admission of Ialmany so strong
ssto Doe, practically irresistible This is attributed
LARGELY to- the nauag meut of Nj Flower, and he
viii Dee made 10 suffer II consequence. Last night
the field was against Nh Flower, ard he perccptIbly
declined iu strength. lie has not gained any to-
aav. bat rather has lost, TO all appearances. Yet
Mr.. O'Brieu and the other Flower men claim
that hi. NOMINATION Is absolute Ger
tai4ty They refuse 10 give any hgures
and miles, they have assurances not known
t. anybody else, and which they do not want
10 see the light of day for obvious reasons. Mr..
Flower cannot De nominated II would not be safe
10 savaiftnlre would be impossible with this con-
yeutlou. hut a- far as can boz judged. Mr.. Flowers
nomnatiou I~ o.. that character
GeDeal ~ cum still retains the lead through the
Held ha, bee, against him tonight. That is the
friends oi Ie weaker candidate, AL work against
the Stronger one. The Flower men show a
bitter feeling toward Slocum which indi-
cafes their fear of his strength Tonight they
are circulating among other reports one that Mr..
slocun. accepted back pay while in Congress. Slo-
Guns friends claim for him l04 votes ou the hr-t
ballot. ll.. il more than he viii gel unless the
Uomhlua- ION i, made III MS interest which l. being
attempted between The factions IN New ork'
Grover Cleveland does not gain ID strength. Ills on
chance is that he may fall heir 10 the
County Democracy vote and th { of the other dele
cations vino de.Irc tire defeat OF SlOcum and
Flower. The chance, are fair or "a new candidate
like Allan Campbell, and there is mo- telling what
NAV be- Developed before the convention meets.
But If tI-- ~ ou as al present Nh NlOcum Is The
most probable .Ioice # the convention David Is.
Hi and George Ralnes have about equal chances at
present for the nomination for illcutehdut -'roV-
