~- "" INV
Academy of Music-Harmony VIII Mark
the Proccedinss-New York's Delegates
TO 81. Louis to Vote as n Unit-Fuil List
of the Delegates who Will Take Part in
the Deliberations.
The Democratic State Convention to select
four delegates at-large and two delegates
from each of the thirty-four Congressional
districts to the st. Louis National Conven-
ton will meet in this city tomorrow. The
delegates will be called to order at noon in
the Academy of Music by ex-Mayor Edward
Murphy, of Troy, Chairman of the State
Committee.
The convention will consist of three dele
gates from each of the 1913 Assembly districts
in the State, or in all 1884 delegates.
Up to noon to-day only about one-third of
the Democratic leaders, lieutenants and dele
gates from the rural districts had arrived in
this city. A large number of the political
pilgrims are expected this afternoon and
evening. The rear guard will not arrive un-
til tomorrow morning.
. There is every indication that the conven-
ton will be a harmonious and thoroughly
representative assemblage of the party in the
-DbltS. W. ItioLh l1CilDB lhb pO III blOWu
itself, and there is no evidence that anv con-
test will be brought before the convention.
The friends of tire National and State ad-
ministrations appear to be on the best of
terms, and there is no doubt whatever that
the National Administration will receive
an enthusiastic Endorsement. President
Cleveland's rcnomlnalion will be recon-
mended. and tie convention will instruct the
delegates 10 81. Louis to vote as a unit for his
renomlnation.
The State administration will also be in
dorsed. and If there is any candidate who
has the Gubernatorial bee buzZiug about
him, 1t is not likely that he will receive much
encouragement as against the denomination
of David Il. Hill.
Although this convention will not nomi-
nate state officers. an expression of views can
be readily obtained, and such expression will
show that the Democrats OF the State
are almost solid for the denomination
Of President Cleveland and Gov. Hill.
The otiice-seekers and glumblers have APP
parently taken n back seat in the councils of
the party.
Up to noon to-day very few of the promi-
nent members of the party had reported at
the Hoffman House, headquarters of the State
Committee. Ex-Mayor Murphy, of Troy.
said that the committee would meet this
evening to arrange the roll! Of delegates and
select the temporary Chairman. He said that
several names had been talked over.
1t is understood that Mayor Chaplin of
Brooklyn and ID. Cady Herrick, CT Albany
were among those prominently mentioned.
There is a difference of opinion about the
makeup of the ticket for delegates-at-large.
There is no opposition, as tar as learned, to
placing Gov. Hill at the head of the delega-
ton from this State. 1t was rumored at the
Hoffman House this morning that he did not
desire the honor and would refuse to serve as
delegate-at-large to the National Conven-
ton.
Several Of his steadfast political supporters
VII were spoken to on the subject, said they
did not know the Governors wishes on this
Important matter. Judge Muller was asked
II Gov. Hill would head the delegation, and
he replied " do not know"
A number of the friends of the Natio nal
Administration appear TO be DESTROYS of hav-
Ing the Governoa elected a delegate t-l large.
Ihere is no question of Gov. Hill being
chosen by a unanimous vote. The question
Is, VIII he consent to serve
Among those mentioned for delegates-at-
large besides Gov. Hill are Mayor Chaplin
aud Hugh Mclaughlin, of Brooklyn: ex-
Mayor EDWARD Cooper, Richard Croker;
D. Cady, Herrick, of Albany ex-senator
Seorge Raines; Of Rochester solomon
Seheu. jr., of Buffalo ex-Mayor Murphy,
of Troy, and Samuel J. Tilden, of Columbia,
nephew of the late Samuel J. Tilden.
