There has been lively discussion tonight over
the action of the State Committee. and much dis
satisfaction is expressed. AS the resolution adopted
distinctly recognizes the County Democracy to the
exclusion of Tanmany the latter are dlsap-
pointed. Mr.. Kelly says that Taminay Will
not enter into a contest at the County Democracy
PRIMARIES where it would be handicapped. lie
thinks Tammany will send no delegation to the
State Convention. Mr.. Davis, of the Anti-MOnOp-
oy League, says that he is satisfied the slate has
beenmade up for the nomination Of Hewitt Tor
Governor There Is dissatisfaction over TINS, and
the Anti-MonopOlsts will probably hold conven-
ton i'll advance There is unquestionable authority,
for stating that Mr.. 1llden has been consulted
in regard to the nomination OF Hewitt
and has said that it woud be satisfactory to him.

Republicans meet has been done to get rid of the
Flower boom" and to cheat the Anti;

his strength. THE -Monopolists having to
deal with two conventions at once, will be unable
to get any advantage at either" was the
remark of a committee member tonight
The change of place to Syracuse was simply
defeat for Manning and has no significance
Efforts will now be made to prevent the Anti-Mo-
nopoly and Labor Conventions from making any
nominations. Kinsea Is to take care of the Antl-
Monopolists for some consideration unknown.
