NEw YORK, October ia respectable
sized political convention could have beer
organized by the throng Of prominent
Democrats-Tammany men, County Dem
oerats and Irving HAllites-who hovered
in and about the Democratic State Com
mittee rooms at the Hoffman House last
night. Every ole was inquiring about the
news from Ohio, or discussing the County
Democracy's ticket and the probable &C.
ton of Tammany on Thursday. There
were .sw among thoss of whom inquiries
were made who thought that separate local
tickets would unfavorably feet the chances
of the ticket headed BY Governor Hill.
Asked his opinion Of separate local
tickets on the State ticket ex,Assembly.

minds to sustain the Demosratic State
ticket with oil their might and main, and
no locs, event could deter them from doing
it. They will be aided by many Of the
Independents such as helped Us last year.
Ny own opinion is that .ls running Of
single or several local tickets in New York
city does not affect the results in other
counties, and do not see how the State
ticket can fail to resp some heaeat from
the large registration and vote that will
necessarily accrue from loyal rivalry among
Democratic organizations"
