 Among New York DemOcrats.
 BUFFALO, Sept. 12.-The Democratic State convention was called to order by Mayor Murphy in Music Hall at 12:3o to-day.
 There was wild enthusiasm for Cleveland and Hill and the bare mention of either name was the signal for long continued applause. George Raines of Monroe county was elected temporary chairman and upon taking the chair addressed the convention. After the committees on permanent organization had been announced the convention took a recess until evening.
 Temporary Chairman Raines called the convention to order again at 7p. m. The committee on permanent organization re- ported for permanent chairman Hon. D. .Csdy Herrick of Albany, who spoke at considerable length, felicitating the Democratic party on it's prospects of victory. In conclusion he i-said: 'sThe cry of free trade and British in- Auence cannot avail against us. The issue is clear cut and we'll defined. Our leader has the courage of his convictions. He is one who dares to do what he believes to be right. With such leader and such an issue and with full faith in the intelligence of the peo- pie we enter upon the campaign with an abiding confidence"
