and fifty members Of the county DemOc-
racy started for Saratoga this morning;
also 500 TammAnY hall delegates. John
Kelley SAID he expected quiet, peace
able time. TAmmAny Hall always sup
ported the nominee of the national con-
Vention and always would One hundred
Irving Hall delegates also len On the
sametIain.
One hundred and fifty Of the three
hundred and eighty delegates TO the
Democratic state convention are here.
All of the delegates are expected this
afternoon. The result Of the meeting
of the state committee tonight Il
anxiously looked forward to. The
friends of both Cleveland and Flower
are equally positive in their expressions
of belief IN the success Of their candi-
dates, The main point OF the
friends of Cleveland IL to secure
the vote Of the convention for him
as the state nominee, 30 a. TO send
solid pledged vote for him to Chicago.
This will be done If the unit rule IL
adopted by the convention. The Tam
many men here do not favor that rule
and unless Kelley's influence can Be Sc
cured for it they are likely to oppose IL.
The question is likely to form one OF the
deliberations.
Up to the present Flower has 9 larger
number of friends working in his inter
ests than Cleveland, but the majority are
not delegates. Already the tome Of the
supporters Of both parties has chsnged
considerably. It seems to be understood
that quiet work and not Boosting IL the
order Of the day.
