 SARATOGA, N. Y., June 1.-The town is literally packed with people tonight. The main streets are almost impossible and the hotel corridors and Hobbies are also crowded MT. Flower is very busy receiving his numer- GUS friends at his suite of rooms in the Uni ted States Hotel where consultations are held which keep this candidate very busy. Tam many men who were heard together tonight seem to agree in the assertion, 'sWe will never g i've in." The bands which are here are serenading the delegations at the various hotels and the streets are brilliantly iIlumina ted by eolered lights and fireworks. When the Albany phalanx arrived this afternoon and marched through Broadway to the mu- sic of their band they created great deal of enthusiasm and applause. The State com naittee are in executive session with closed doors and there is much speculation as to what will be the result of their deliberations, but no inkling as to what their conclusions will lead to as regards the contesting delega tions can be gained at present. Mentor, , the Chicago Herald's correspondent, tele- graphs his paper tonight as follows:
 "The prospects are good to night that the scheme to make Cleveland Tilden's heir will succeed tomorrow. It was well planned. Just ss Blaine's nomination had started the independents toward the Governor and a majority of the New York local conventions were meeting Chairman Manning secured from MT. Tilden his famous letter. Into the ears of delegates they now pour the state- nnent that with New York's solid indorsement Cleveland will be nominated, while Flower could not; that with New York it is Cleve. land or nothing. Moreover they say Cleve- land is Tilden's choice and it is the Sages wish that his mantle should fall on the Gov ernor's shoulders. They say he is the one man completely representing the issue .. of ssform %o apd %b able to bsS9g oTt a the failing strength. Cleveland like Tilden made himself by reform; like Tilden he has been reform Mayor of New York city; like Til den he has been reform Governor of the State. With Cleveland as the nominee, as with no other man except Tilden, would the dangerous tariff issue be overshadowed by that of administrative regeneration. It is clear the Cleveland men have the best of the argument. They using it with great force and the Flower lines are reported wa vering.
 ' T will win,' said Mr. Flower to night if my mon stand firm Immediately after ward he told Purcell to bring him the names of any of their boys that flew the track Let us know just where we stand he added. Flower was advised to night to with draw, making Cievsland's endorsement unanimous and effective. He is personally in clined to do this inasmuch as it would make certain the fruition of what is suspected to ho hS0 k0 CIeveland-but several of his most powerful workers are fighting Cleveland on personal grounds and urge him to stand firm. Their plan is if they cannot beat Cleveland to weaken him by taking about twenty district delegates to Chicago for Flower regardless of the unit rule, hoping to shelve Cleveland by making the ticket McDenaid and Flower The chances are in the Governors favor not only to get the delegates-at-large but, that basis for the much talked of harmony will be found upon which New York's prac- tically solid vote at Chicago will be cast for Buffslo's ex-Mayor. Assurances were re- eeived to night that if New York endorses Cleveland the Paynes of Ohio will not antag- onize him, and word comes from nearly half the States that New York's unanimous choice can have the nomination. Back of Cleveland therefore is the possibility, almost the prob ability of the White House, and it is power in the hands of such manager as Chairman Maun4u&. put HOfK4pg TOT flOWeE aE6 SOIne of the shrewdest politicians in the State and to-moIrow's w's contest will be at least interest ing"
 The first question considered by the com mittee was the representation to which the New York factions were entitled in the State convention. Several addresses were made on both sides in behalf of Tammany Hall and the County Democracy. Ex-Senator Grady made an eloquent plea for justice to Tam many. He averred that the representation given her in years past was not based on any idea of justice, but as punishment for al- he said had proved by her votes for the can- in full accord with it's principles and loyaI her in an apparent minority would do justice to Tammany or the other masses of the De- mocracy. A motion to postpone the whole matter to 10 o'clock tomorrow was voted down. The roll was then called on the mo- tion of Senator Grady to place the representa- ton of the New York factions ss follows :: County Democracy 30. Tammany Hall 80, Irving Hall 12. The motion was lost, Is to 19. Among the prominent members voting for the motion outside New York city were Colonel Faulkner and ex- Mayor Murphy, of Troy. Chairman Man ming voted against the motion. Tammany also received blow in the matter of Mon roe county, the contesting delegations being g admitted with equal votes against Tammanys appeal for the Purcell delegation only. Manning voted in the majority again. Will liam H. Smith, of Canton, was chosen for temporary chairman. The committee then adjourned.
