WAR HIS ULTDIATUM.

The Old Fight with the County DemOc-
racy to be Reopened at the New York
State Convention O-Day-Represen-
tative Eaton Says that Cleveland Can
Garry New York by 100 900 Majority
GeOrgia's State Convention.
NEW YORK, June Il, M.-About
$50 members Of the county Democracy
started for Saratoga this morning by the
West Shore Road. Among them were
Commissioner Hubert o. Thompson, Coun-
ty Clerk Keenan,, State Senators Robb and
DAILY, ex-senator Caldwell and others.
The Sixty-ninth Regiment Band accom-
panied them. A large delegation from
Tammany went by way Of the New York
Central Road this morning. In the cars
were John Kelly, Gen. SpinOla. Police
Commissioner Sidney p. Nichols, Judge
CardOZO and Thomas S. Brennan, The
delegation and its friends numbered about
300 men. Mr.. Kelly said he expected that
they would have a quiet and peaceable
time at Saratoga. Tammany Hall, he
said, had always supported the nominee
OF the National Convention. and always
would. The Irving Hall delegation. to
the number of about 100, went on the
same train.
SARATOGA, June II, IL A. M.-About
80 of the $50 delegates to the State DEM
Ocratic Convention are already here. All
the delegates are expected to be here by
this afternoon. As the result of the meet
ing OF the State Committee tonight is
anxiOusly looked forward to the friends Of
both Cleveland and Flower are equally
positive in the expression of their belief
OF the success OF their candidate. The
main point Of the friends of the former is
to secure the vote of the convention for
Cleveland as the State nominee, so as to
send solid pledged vote for HIM to Chi
cagO. This can be done if the unit rule is
adopted by the convention. The Tamma-
ny men here are not in favor of that rule.
and unless Kelly's influence be for 1t
threaten to oppose it. The question is
likely to form one of the principal points
OF the State Committees deliberations to-
night.
TANTNIANY TO GET EQUAL REPRESENTA-
TIoN.
SARATOGA, June II, IL 80 P. M.-Neither
Tammany nor Irving Hall held any meet
ing tonight. Both organizations will
meet at o'clock tomorrow morning. The
tacit understanding is that the county
Democracy and Tammany will each have
30 representatives in the convention and
Irving Hall u. 1t is believed that the
claim of the county Democracy for full
representation is simply form.
MEETING OF THE STATE COMMITTEES.
SARATOGA, June IT, 1850 P. MA
meeting of the Democratic State Commit
mittee was held tonight and business
rapidly dispatched. The principal mat
ter before it was the resolutions of Tam
many Hall demanding representation in
the convention equal to that of anv or
ganizatiOn in the city, refusing to accept
anything less than representation equal
to that of the county Democracy, and
threatening to appeal to the councils of
theparty of the natiOu If the demand is
not conceded. 1t was not expected that
any action would be taken by the CON-
mittee, inasmuch as the present appOr-
tionment of city representation was made
by the convention itself. The following
was adopted:
ResOiUed, That the action of the last
state Convention in appOrtioning the
representation OF New York be adopted
in making up the preliminary roll.
That representation was County De-
mOcracy 81, Tammany a and Irving Hall
10.
KELLY THREATENS TO BOLT.
John Kelly declared positively to an
Associated Press reporter tonight that
if the convention upholds the apportion-
ment of delegates from New York Tam
many Hall delegates will not enter the
convention, but will take the first train
for home.

Flower man, appeared before the State
Committee to contest the seat of Raines,

district. A resolution was adopted that
the delegation headed by Purcell be placed
on the roll of the State Committee as a
substitute for the Rainns deleoatinn
