 SARATOGA, N. Y., June 18.-The delegates to the Democratic State convention were sstir early this morning. Flowers head quarters presented busy scene. Roswell P. Flower himself was the center of attrac~ tion and the oracle of consultation. The avowed intention of the Tammany men not to stand by last nights decision of the State committee was general topic of discussion, but it was settled in conference of the fac tions whereby the basis of representation was fixed as follows: County Democracy 31, Tammany Hall 31, Irving Hall 10-this on condition that Tammany would vote for Cleveland. It was 1:28 when Chairman Man ming of the State committee called the con- vention to order. Messrs. Gilbert and Walker escorted to the chair William B. Smith of Clinton county, who had been unanimously elected temporary chairman. He delivered short address. During the address an incidental mention of General Hancock's name brought forth a storm of applause. The roll of delegates was then called. The name of Samuel J. Tilden, jr., was received with wild applause A protest in behalf of the regular delegates from the Second district of Monroe, refusing to take part in the convention till they be placed on the roll by the committee on credentials, was presented. They were on roll with the con- testants on the basis of half a vote each. When New York was reached Colonel J. R. Fellowes announced that the New York par ties had agreed to eeualize the representa- tion sf those bodies on the basis of 31 each to the County Democracy and Tammany Hall and 10 to Irving Hall faction. A reso- lutien to this effect was unanimously adopt ed. The most enthusiastic scene then oc- cured, when, after the settlement, the name of John Kelly was read. The entire audience broke out into the widest cheers. The noise was so great as to cause an interruption to business for several minutes. An adjourn ment was soon after had until evening"
 The truce between Tammany and the Democracy of New York reduced the conven- tion to rather tame affair. There was nothing like a struggle in the earlier pro- ceedings. The only contest of consequence was that when the Purcell and Raines delega- tion from the Second district of Monroe came up. MT. Purcell's action in the convention to-day forced the issue squarely. The com promise effected by the State committee, giving both contesting delegations seats in the convention, with half vote to each, was re- jected by MT. Purcell. Speaking for himself
 EETu. . in the proceedings of this convention" said MT. Purcell, until the question of our regu- lsrity is passed upon by the committee on contested seats and by the convention" This was quiet, digniied statement, yet it was 8 kind of small bombshell and left the State committee with the satisfaction of hay ing their scheme tried. In to-day's prelimi. Cleveland was not pronounced and conse- quently there was no chance of a demonstra- tion in his favor. Indirectly, indeed, the temporary chairman alluded to the wise and economic administration he had rendered the State and the allusion was applauded, but nothing comparable to the enthusiasm manifested over the names of s. 
 Jacobs and others. An attempt to get up a boom for Flower was made, but it proved failure. Some maIadroit person in the gallery at a most inopportune time cried out, ''Three cheers for FIower," which was re- sponded to by feeble effort of two or three delegates. To most of those who have closely observed the situation here from the start it was evident that there was more wind than substance in the Flower canvass. If there were at any time majority of the delegates pledged to his support they have cooled in ardor pretty fast; and though MT. Flower has undoubtedly 8 devoted following, the large vote which was supposed to be sure for him has rapidly fallen off. The strongest contributing cause to this result was the sud- den pacifcation of the Tammany malcontents by being conceded more than their demands
 The afternoon proceedings though lively were as harmonious as a Sunday school. It was really affecting to see the bland way in which Messrs. Grady, Coch- zane, Lester B. Faulkner and others on the Tammany side conferred with and took cues from John c. Jacobs. Hubert O. Thompson. ex-Mayor Cooper. Colonel Fellowes and Colo nel Murphy on the County Democracy and Irving Hall sides. There was never fusion more perfect or mutual satisfaction more manifestly complete. If the New York leaders are not entirely reconciled they must have learned the art of dissi m ulstion to per lection.
 At z o'clock the chair rapped the conven- ton to order and announced that as the com -A&1 Ir,kT~ had not been able to perfect their work 8 further recess would be tak en until s:30 p. m. if there was no objection. None being offered the recess was extended till the time mentioned.
 At 9:O6 the convention came to order. The committee on permanent organization re- ported continuing the temporary officers The decision was received with applause. The committee on credentials reported that in the Second Monroe district the delegation headed by William Purcell was entitled to the seats This was received with great applause. It is 8 concession to Tammany. The report was adopted. Nelson J. Waterbury, of New York, announced that the report of the com- mittee on resolutions was unanimous that in the national convention not one word of division would be heard except on expression of opinion as to who would be the best candidate for the presidency. He went on to point out the necessity of 8 candidate whose name VIII D0 SuhEantoo oA 1o1OHA- He glanced at the platform of 1874, 1876 and 1880, and said the resolutions embod- jed therein were more applicable to the sit- ustien of to-day that on the latter platform the Governor of this State was elected, an event which brought forth excellent results and that the chief points of these platforms were retained in the present dec lsration of principles. The resolCtions de- clare that the Democracy of New York recog- nize that no issue can be more important than the election of 8 President whose char scter and public reputation shall give assur- anee of an honest, impartial and efficient ad- nninistration of the laws. That concerning State government this convention adopts the resolutions of the conventions in 1874, 1876 and 1880; that it recognizes the duty of the legislature to respect the popular vote in 1883 for the abolition of contract labor in
 prisons, and that it heartily comments the administration of Governor Cleveland. The plank referring to Cleveland was receiv- ed with great enthusiasm which was most
 pronounced in the galleries.
 In reading the list of delegates to Chicago the names Hubert O. Thomson, John 0. Jacobs. Lester B. Faulkner and Edward Mur- phy, ir., were received with applause, but the one which drew forth a tempest of applause
 was that of John Kelly. KelIy's name was rt ceiyed with far greater favor than any oth-
