 Gathering of the Democratic Clan-NIuch Business on Hand-The Waller Boom- Morras' Friends Strong, Numerous and Confident-Gossip About the Rest of the Ticket.
 HARTFORD, Oct. B.
 The Allyn House is alive with Democrats 1 tonight. Hope springs eternal in the Demo cratic breast, and the delegates are as busy and earnest as if they really expected their work to amount to something election day.
 Most of the delegates have arrived. Among them are many prominent members of the party, and there is also 8 large number of extra advisers present. Conspicuous figures are those of William H. Barnum A. E. Burr of the Hartford Times, ex-Congressman Lan- ders of New Britain, Thomas M. Waller of New London, Hon. Milo B. Richardson of Lime Rock, Sheriff Byxbee of Meriden, and John H. Leeds of New Haven. New Haven is especially we'll represented. In addition to the delegates-James Gallagher, William Parsons, Joel A. Sperry and Edmund Zacher -there are Alexander Troup, F. s. Andrew, s. Harrison Wagner, Timothy J. Fox, Joseph D. Plunkett, and 8 number moro. It is not often that there is so much uncer- tainty among the delegates to political con- vention as prevails here. There are all kinds of s'bo .ms,' and though there has been much talk nothing has been settled. The friends of Waller are very active. They go about with white badges on their coats, seek 1 ing to induce others, whether delegates or not, to put on badges also. They have met with some success in their work, and quite number of the badges are visible. There are, however, more in the pockets of delegates The Morris boom appears to night to be the most substantial, though of course no one can tell what day and a Democratic convention may bring 1 forth. Among those who favor Morris are Messrs. Barnum, Burr, Landers and Rich ardson, and the talk about him among the delegates is abundant and confident. Little is heard about anybody but Morris and Wal Ter, though Edwin A. Buck, of Windham, has
 some active friends. Samuel Simpson, of
 Wallingford, is mentioned. It is an-
 nounced that Edward ". Seymour is not a
 candidate, and the talk is that he intends to
 run for Congress In spite of Governor h.
 gersolrs repeated declaration that he would not take the nomination if it were tendered
 him quite & number of the delegates want to
 vote for hi1a and will do so.
 For Lieutenant-Governor the name most prominently mentioned is that of George G } Sumner, of Hartford. Joseph W. Alsop, o1 Middletown, is also spoken of. l For Treasurer, Dr. Alfred R Goodrich o Vernon, Edwin A. Buck of Windhan, George E H. Hoyt of Stamford, and Albert N. Baldwin of New Milford are talked about. MT. Bald
 win appears to have the most vigorous
 friends tonight.
 For Controller, Thomas Sanford, of Red 5 ding, is the only candidate that has yet com to the surface.
 There are several candidates for the nomi
 nation for Secretary of State Edmund Zache of New Haven, and D. Ward Northrop, 0 Middletown, are the most talked about, bu :, the selection will depend very much on tn | l way the rest ot the ticket is made up. No general caucus has been held, the Stat
 committee not thinking it advisable to cal 5 one. The counties have, however, held eau
 cuses, but no decisive action was reached b. ! some of them.
 In the Hartford county caucus no conclu -. sion concerning candidates was reached. I U was understood that Hartford county is pret ; l ty solid for Morris.
 A meeting of the delegates from New Ha ven county was held, but owing to the snaa1 number present nothing was done and tn F meeting adjourned until to morrow morning y At the caucus of Litchfeld county delegate 6 it was decided that the county would no 't press any candidates, though Albert N. Bald e win, of New Milford, was approved as car IS didate for Treasurer. Many of the delegate lc favor Morris.
 Fairfield county decided to present Geors IS H. Hoyt, of Stamford, for Treasurer, C % Thomas Sanford, of Bedding, for ControIlel v- as might be wisest. Eleven of the delegate a in this county are for Ingerson. at At the Middlesex county caucus nothing ( y importance was done, not many of the del' 1T gates being present.
 70 Windham and Holland counties are fe s. Edwin A. Buck for Treasurer.
 a New London county voted unanimously
 present the name of Thomas M. Waller ft ,d l Governor.
 Ln The convention tomorrow will be an i, 70 teresting one, and it will require good de .o of skill to make it harmonious. What u Y, platform will contain is uncertain as u re ticket. It's utterance on the temperan Id question will be looked fer with interes m Probably strict enforcement of the icen
 law will be demanded.
 At meeting of the State committee th
 evening, Hon. James Gallagher, of New H
 ven, was chosen temporary chairman of u H. convention, and he may also be made u 9n l permanent chairman.
