MIA ARMONIOUS DEMOCRATS.
PLANS FOR THE COMING STATE CAMPAIGN.
EFFORTS TO BE MADE TO HAVE KELLY READ OUT OF
TAMMANY HALI@-A TILDEN DEMOCRAT TO BE
NOMINATED FOR GOVERNOR.

SARATOGA Aug. 6.-The weather has been un-
comfortably warm here to-day and the visitors
generally have been occupied IN trying TO keep
cool. The Democratic politicians, however, have
been discussing the political situation with their
usual vim. Gathered about the hotel Corridors IN
knots with such leaders as Kelly, Kearney, Thomp-
son, Purroy and Bowc as centres OF attraction,
plans and schemes of all kinds have been discussed
with an ostensible view to harnonize the factions
in New-York. As much energy has been wasted III
this way as if the question were really open for
settlement by the politicians gathered here. AS
matter of fact however there is no chance for any
thing being done until Daniel Manning and one or
two Others arrive from Grcystone, where they have
gone TO consult the Sage of Cipher Alley; and then
there is no prospect of anything being done further
than issuing the usual call for the State Conyen-
ton which will probably be held about September
13, at this place.
Senator Daly's conference will recOnyene tO-mOr
row night Nobody but the Senators themselves
paws any attention to what 1t may do. Mr. Daily
saws that il don't nat whether the leaders agree
with him not; if his conference agrees upon
feasible plan the leaders will be compc led to adopt
il. The Democratic party he adds, has been party
of expediency for many years. 1t has had no fixed
policy or principles, but had been fighting, as
Horato Seylnour says. old mems quarrels. This
conference aims to lift ii out of this rut. provide
some live issues and give the party an aggressive
policy. If this is not accomplished, then there
is use running ticket at the polls Unfor-
tunatey for Senator Daily, the leaders have more to
say in the Democratic party than Is best for 1t,
and of them go so far as to insnuate that
if he is allowed TO name a few more street PAYERS
and water inspectors his end In calling conference
will have been accomplished.
!, TTt,1,o
Police Justice Power ex-Mayor Cooper and other
representative Tiden leaders here, it is clear that
they have agreed upon a general plan of action,
and only wait to hear from GreystOne for few de-
tails The State Committee will meet and call Its
convention III the usual form. The County
Democracy will then advertise its primaries and In
vite all Democrats of whatever shade TO partici-
pate at these primaries IN the election OF delegates
to the state Convention. " If Tamnany Democrats
are in "A majority in New-YOrk let them attend
these primaries and elect the delegates" says Slr
Thompson. mo Democrat will be prevented from
voting" But he did not add anything about how
the votes would be counted.
"Tho delegates elected in this way are
the only ones that will be admitted to
the convention" said Mr.. Power. Iammany
Hall as an organization will not IN
any way be recognized by the State Convention.
and last year at Albany, how can the Democratic
party again recognize it ~
Mr. Truman of Binghamton, another member of
the State Committee said to-day: 81 shall oppose
the recognition of Tammany in any way so long az
JOHN Kelly is at the head of it. There may be good
Democrats in the organization, but he is not one OF
them.D When asked if ne thought that there was
any prospect of getting rid OF Kelly lac replied that
there was. This is Of the schemes on foot here.
The Tilden leaders trying TO deal with Edward
Kearney Police Commissioner Nichols, General
Spnola and Alderman Sauer, to oust John Kelly
from Tanmany Hall. This is what is known as the
Blossom Club Cotcro. 1t is a general belief here
that these men would undertake the task,
and try and control the organization
themselves, except that not one of them
has any political strength except what
he gets from being member of Tanmany. John
Kelly could discipline them all four out of the or
ganization, rs he has many better and stronger
men, and still poll ms 10000 votes. This scheme
will not work 1t is a part OF the Tilden plan, how
ever in case Tammany refuses TO support tile State
ticket to deal with these four on local offices,
ana GUST Kelly.
TO a person familiar with local politics IN New
York it is evident that the plan will be faiiure;
but il is the cause for such irks the made
bv Justice Power this afternoon, when he said:
You will find Tammany supporting the State
ticket whether not it Is admitted into the con-
vcntion." Mr.. Kelly says that rammany will not
attend any primaries held under the auspices of the
County Democracy. He is opposed 10 sending any
delegation to the state Convention, unless assured
beforehand of its admission. Edward Kearney.
ON the other hand says that nc is in favor of send
ing delegates to the convention irrespective of the
question of their admission, to show the country
that Tammany is still Democratic and Is kept out
of the party organization by no fault of Its own.
Senator Herman arrived to-day. When asked if
he would attend the conference OF Senator'S he
laughed and said mo; if those men can bar-
monize themselves they will do better than they
did III Albany"
"Do you really believe that tho Democrats can
sncceed without Tammany's votes ~ was asked of
Mayor Grace.
"YesD was the reply. If IT refuses to support
tbe nominees of the convention Mr.. Kelly cannot
keep the organization out of the party. He may a
part of it, What VIC have to do is to name
candidate for Governor and adopt platform that
will be satisfactory to the labor vote
and to the Anti-MonOpolists. Those are the
two things to be accompished providing of course,
we adhere to sound Democratic principles and
satisfy the business community"
"The candidate that will best do that" said
well-knownl supreme Court Judge, lis Abram $.
Hewitt. He has a good record on these questions,
is a very able man, and think s the man the con-
vention will nominate. The issues will be National.
