From Morning Edition.l
SARATOGA, Sept. 24-The democratic state
convention began here today in the Casiuo
rink, in which the republicans held their
convention. The morning opened with
everything apparently favoring Hill for gov
ernor. During the most OF the night Mr..
Kelly's lieutenant, Mr.. Jas. Mooney, together
with Ed Cahill and other Tammany leaders,
were actively working among their followers
in HIS favor. The governors headquarters,
in one Of the Grand Union Hotei cottages,
were thronged all the morning, and
the Jscksouian Club, Of Albany, and
other organizations, paraded the street
in front Of the hotel, carry
ing Hill banners. The Tammany men
claimed that there was no longer any doubt
that Hill would be nominated on the first bal
lot. The county democracy, though they did
not admit this, confessed that Hills position
was much stronger than it appeared las, even
ing. Senator Jacobs, of Brooklyn, is under
stood to be on the slate with Hill tor lieuten-
ant governor.
There were fully as many ladies and prom
iuent personsges present in the Casino at
ll:3O o clock this morning as attended the
onening of the renublican convention, ,wo
days ago. At li:45 o'clock the county dem.
ocracy band, stationed in a gallery opposite
the speakers chair, discoursed national airs to
the edifcation of all present.
From half-past ! ! O'Clock until the build
