SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 24-The morn
ing opens with everything apparently
flyoring Hill. During the most of the
night Mr. Keily's lieutenant, Mr.. James
Mooney, with Ed. Cahill and other Tam
many leaders, were actively working
among their followers in Hills favor.
The Governors Headquarters, in one Of
the Grand Union Hotel cottages, have
been thronged all The morning and the
Jacksonian Club, OF Albany, and other
organizationss have been parading the
street in front Of the hotel, carrying Hill
banners. The Tammany men claim that
there is no longer any doubt that Hill will
be nominated on the frst ballot, and the
County Democracy, though they do,not
admit this, admit that Hills position is
much stronger than it appeared LAST even

Jacobs, Of Brooklyn, for Lieutenant Gov

spicuously beside the Tammany ribbon,
which was not uncommon last night, is
almost the common thing this moorning:
In fact, it looks as II Hill had captured
the town. Coopers chances seem to be
rapidly lessening.
The County Democracy, at their meet
ing this morning, failed 70 agree upon any
candidate, and this would seem another
point in favor OF Hill. Hon. Nicholas Mul

keeps well posted, says that the indica'

tion on the first ballot. This is generally
conceded, and on, the surface 1t does not
appear that any combination OF cirGum-
stances is likely to prevent it. Abram S.
Hewitt does not appear to be posing as q
candidate this morning, and tits not likely
that his name will be presented.
There were fully as many ladies and
prominent personages present IN the
Casino at 80 this morning to witness
the proceedings OF the Democratic State
Convention "a attended the opening Of the
Republican Convention two days ago. At
