NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-The general
opinion is that there will be but three real
candidates for the nomination of governor
at the Democratic convention next week.
These are Hill, Cooper and Flower The
administration prefers Cooper, and will not
drop him unless il becomes convinced that
he cannot be elected if nominated. Mr..
Hewitt is not considered in the race. The
administration is taking very strong in
tereSt in the contest and shaping the results.
Manning to-day is as active in manipulating
matters in this state as when he was chair
man OF the state committee. The old organi-
Zation is working in one part of the
state for Cooper and in another part for
HILL There are 10, 900 canal employees who
are spending greater portion of their time
looking after delegates for the next con-
vention. They are all acting under the di-
rection of Mr.. Manning, although in many
instance sthey are obtaining delegates os-
tensibly for Hill. 81 do not find" saws a
correspondent. THAT Gov. Hill himself has
much independent strength. There is hardly
delegate who will go up TO the convention
for him who can't be had for the candidate
Mr.. Manning may i'm the end prefer. 1t is
said that Mr.. Manning is anxious 10 advance

DANGEROUS MAN IN 1888.
Mr.. Flower does not call himself a candi-
date. His friends say that he will have lao
OF the delegates in the next convention. and
that the administration could not do better
than to come over TO him. They saw that
Flower has played the benevolent and for
giving in politics long enough. Three years
ago he had the convention and lost it, as he
claims. through trick, yet he rallied To the
support of the ticket like a man, and dur
ing the presidential campaign was power
in this state. He put $50. 900 into the
presidential canvass TO secure the sue
cess OF his party. and while he
has not been recognized by the administIa-
tion. since he has asked no faYOrS IL is
probable. however, that il Mr.. Flower is
not treated well in their convention he will
not take an active interest in their cam
paign, which lie has in the past. If he and
some of his friends should sit back quietly
and say nothing, it would be great point
for the Republicans. Mr.. Flower believes
in harmony in the party, in the admission
of all the factions TO the convention. and
has no sympathy with the present tendency
to lay out Tammany. He believes that
such course is ruinous to the party.
