THE TWO CONVENTIONS.

Arrangements OF the Republicans = The
Expectations OF the Democrats.
SARATOGA, Sept. 19.-Johu w. Vroo-
man, the Secretary OF the Republican
State Committee, arrived here tonight
from his home at Herkimer TO. make az
rangements for the holding olthe Repub-
lican State Convention on Tuesday. He
found that the Casino rink, in which the
convention will be held, nearly ready.
Accommodation has been provided in the
building for the GsS delegates and for
4,5O0 spectators. Mr. Vrooman said that
from letters which he had received, 1t, was
apparent that Republicans were keenly
interested in the work that was to be done
by the convention, and that their attend
ancs from all parts Of the State at the ses-
sions Of the convention would be unusual
ly large.
Senator Michael O. Murphy, Of New
York, member Of the Democratic State
Committee, also arrived here by the even
ing train, with the intention OF 'supervi-
sing the preparations for the Democratic
State Convention, which will be held
on Thursday. He believes thlt there
will be q large attendance Of DemoctAtlc
politicians at the convention, but owing to
It's smaller size, there not being over 400
delegates, the assemblags will not bs so
imposing as the Republican Convention.
BIO CROWDS EXPECTED
The hotel proprietors say that alsrge
number of rooms have been engaged.
Many parlors have been taken for head
quarters. The most notable engagement
Of this kind is that OF Governor Hill, who
has leased several large parlors in the
Grand Union Hotel for his use. Poii6c-
ians are much amazed at this action ot the
Governor and even yet do not believe that
Mr.. Hill will do so indecorous thing as
to come here and openly seek votes for his
own nomination for Governor by the
Democratic State Convention. One Of
Mr.. Hills rivals, Roswell + Flower, has
engaged the chief cottage at the United
States Hotel and rooms also at the Granu
Union.
General Joseph B. Carr, the Republican
Secretary OF State, has leased q cottage at
the United States, next to that OF MIR.
Flower, and q large room near 1t. From
these rooms General Carr will direct his
canvass for the nomination for Governor.
He will arrive here tomorrow afternoon
in company with Anson 5. Wood, Deputy
Secretary Of State, and Lee Chamberlain,
Chief Clerk. General Carr will, OF course,
remain here till the Republican State Com
vention has made its decision upon his
candidacy. To-day in Albany he said to
a correspondent that he had -ceived in
the morning mail encouraging adyices
from every part Of the State. DR.. John
Swinburne, another oil the Republican
candidates for Governor, has rooms at Con-
gress Hall.
AGAINST HILL.
Edward Cooper, the chief Democratic
rival Of Governor Hill, has engaged ex-
tensive headquarters in the United States
Hotel. Naturally, Hubert o Thompson
and other leaders Of the county Democracy
Of New York have grouped themselves
about Mr.. C1oper's rooms. A leader ol
the county Democracy organization, now
here, said to-day: "The Democratic or
Ranis 4tions in New York will uuiie, and
with the Kings county Democrats and
Democrats Of the interior who arc op.
posed to Hill, will nominate Edward
Cooper for Governor. Mr.. Hill Is de-
ceiyed regarding the strength Of his sup
port, and he will be defeated as have
said"
William ]. Arkell, OF Albany, who Is
managing the canvass for Governor Of
Joseph W. Drexel, Of New York City,
arrived here to-day and occupied room
at the United States Hotel. He is conf
dent OF Mr.. Drexels nomination by the
Republican State Convention. Captain
Chester S. Cole, oil Corning, who will
manage the canvass OF Congressman Ira
Davenport for Governor, has taken rooms
at Congress Hall. James D. Warren,
chairman OF the Republican State Com.
mittee and candidate for the nomination
for Governor, has leased rooms for him
self and the thirty.two delegates OF Erie
county, who support him, at Congress
Hall. It IL evident that Mr. Matren'H
friends intend TO boom him." as ex.Col.
lector Charles A. Gould, Of, Buffalo, has
engaged rooms at Congress Hall for one
hundred residents Of that city.
