HOW THE CITY DELEGATIONS WILL VOTE.
Congressional
District.


The County Democracy and Irving Hall are for
Cleveland There is plan on foot to give Tam
many Hall equal representation with the County
Democracy in the convention. This would give
Cleveland 80 votes from the County Democracy
ind IL from Irving Hall. The 80 1ammany votes
will probably be found for Flower, If needed lhls
would make the totals stand: Flower 200; Cleve-
land 1873, with Kings Countys 36 votes to be heard
from There are two Assembly Districts whcn
have not yet reported one in the AlVth and the
other in the XXIVth Congressional District. The
total nnmber of delegates is 3S4 So that accept
ing these figures correct, Flower has a clear
working majority General Lester b. Faulkner,
for several wears chairman of the Democratic
State Committee, who has for several months
past been working up Flowers boOm'
is confident that his chief cannot be defeated Ger
tanly some one is going to be badly disappointed
both sides being apparently so sure of controlling
the convention.
eff You find us in control of the State Committee
don't you be much surprised" said one OF Flowers
lentenants. "Goyernor Cleveland has made so
MANY enemies by his course this last winter that
there will be serious detection in the State Com
mittee.p One of Mr.. Flowers supporters in ex-
planning the great discrepancy In the eSti-
mates of the complexion of the delegates
said: "The Cleveland are claiming
for him all the delegates who were instructed to
support Tilden. Many of those who were thus
elected have come to us, or written to us, saying
they would support Flower. Ere County is case
in point The delegates there are all credited to
Cleveland We know that the majority are for
Flower"
The action of Irving Hall in supporting Governor
Cleveland calls forth good deal Of severe com
ment from the Flower men. They freely charge
that this is done because Sheriff Davidson the head
of the organization is fearful that he will be re-
Charles p Miller, if he allows his delegates to ex-
ercise their free will and support Mr.. Flower ~ Is
not. by, any means certain that Irving hal nan
representation If the Flower men control
the convention. The demand of Tammany Hail
Conntv Democracy in the convention finds many
supporters here. II is argued that laInmany mas
demonstrated by the popular vote at recent n cleo
racy and that it is rghtfuliy entitled to come
int0ithe convention equal terms. Certainly Tam
many will make strong hght ior its cialn III 'hls
particular.
KINGS COUNTY MEN RETIoENT.
There is a good deal of doubt as to the attitude
of the Kings County delegation. Senator Jacobs
is not friendly to the Governor on account of the
latter's action toward certain bills that Jacobs
favored But until Boss. Mclaughlin reaches
bes beIe no ~ saw much Most of them
content themselves with saying that they favor the
best man, which is safe ana hon-conmltta
the Country members of keeping a sharp lookout
Tor their own interests. Their votes arc apt to go
where they will do the most. good Tor
themselves The town is comparatively quiet gbet
tonighp 1t will present a different spectacle a1S
Tammany special trains will bring each about 800
men, and the Albany Phalanx and large dele dele
CATION from Troy will also nave Special 'fai5s a3s
Flowers barln is expected to accomplish wonder
full things and if the results justify the predlc.ioms on
of his friends he may be said to have received the
mantle of 'Uncle Sammy"
