the Democratic State Committee. issued call to-
day for q meeting of the committee here on Thurs
day next. at the Deevan House. for the pur-
pose of electing a member of the Democratic
National Committee to represent New-York The
vacancy was oaused by the death of Hubert O.
Thompson. There was some prospect for time OF
a direct contest between the Cleveland men
and the Hill men in the State Commit
tee for tho right to name Mr.. Thompson's
successor but it is said tonight that compromise
has been made by the two factions on ex-Mayor
Edward Cooper of New-York Mr.. Cooper and
Mayor Hewitt, his brother-in-law, are reputed
to have given $4,000 toward the
election OF Mr.. Cleveland as President.
Mr. Cooper, for this service. Is said 10
have expected to be appointed Minister to Eng
land He was bitterly disappointed, therefore,
when he failed to get that appointment ana pas
been rather free in utterinR criticisms on Mr;
Cevcland's Administration. 1t . Is SAID. E S,m,
of his past friendly relations with MI. CIeVeiano'
they can control him.
HEWITT AGAINST HILL FOR GOVERNOR
They Also 1t is reported, are trying to win him
back to the Cleveland cause by promising to nomi-
nate Mayor Hewitt for Governor next fall to sue
coed Mr.. Hill. As it becomes evident that Mr:
Hill really aims to contest the State
with Mr. Cleveland as n candidate for President,
the Cleveland men are becoming more conVlhceu
that they will have to fight Mr.. Ill at every point
They were content to grant him the Goyernorsnip
for another term, bnt now that, acting In alliance
with Samuel J. Randall. he is actively opposing
decided to take up Hewitt and defeat hill for the
Govern orship.
WHAT ANOTHER FLOWER BooMf
Some of Edward Murphys friends tonight were
saving that perhaps it would not be best to take
Edward Cooper but rather Roswell T., Flower. A
member of the Democratic State Committee sald
There is talk of both Edward Cooper and William
r. Grace for Mr. lhompsons place out t1eIo Is =. q
good deal OF opposition to them because they are
81 I'd 10 be the representatives Of factions In New
York City while Mr.. Flower does not belong to any
chiefly from the Hill Democrats There IS, there-
FORE a possibility that Mr Cooper may be the can
didate Of the Cleveland mon and Mr.. Flower Oh the
Hill men for the Thompson vacancy.
ANOTHER IRON IN THE FIRE
The meeting Of the committee here prom
ises to be of special interest The
election of NETWORKS member of the
National Democratic Committee at this rime has
direct relation with the effort of he Newly OK Cty
Democrats to bring the National Democratic Con
veniIOn TO that CITY. Whoever may DC eecteo DC
II Cooper Or Flower will be instructed by IeSolu-
ton to use his utmost efforts TO persuade the Ma
tlonal Democratic Comm tee To select New-loIk
as the place Tor nOIulDg Ine Ma lOudl Coh'Oh'OH'
l. is SAID that II the Hill men see that they cannot
elect Flower, they Will make no contest, pul Will
vote for Cooper
AFRAID TO ASK FOR THE PRESIDENTS RENOMINA-
lion.
There has been talk OF the introduction OF reso-
lutions calling for the denomination of President
Cleyean similar to those which were passed oy
the Democratic State Committee of Pennsylvania
last week when Mr.. Randall was beaten. The
Cleveland mon here however say that they DOUBT
if the resolutions will be introduced. The Ires-
dents own state should ask his denomination 0ut
then his friends do not care to provoke qufrrellh
the State Committee. They prefer TO walt LOT sucn
n resolution until the Democratic state convention
meets ut which delegates to the National COnVen-
ton will be elected.
THE GOVERNOR SHOWING HIS GRIP.
Governor Hill shows tho strong grip he has on
the Democrats in the State Legislature tonight by
inducing them to nominate Charles A. Dana Tor
Regent of the CnIversIty. The Cleveland Demo-
Gratis say it was done because Mr. Dana is BOOM
Ing the Governor for the Presidency, and although
thoy saw Its object they dlshkeu 10
object. A striking evidence of the amlaollty
which no prevails in Democratic circles was FUR
nished BY Democratic Assemblvman VINO SAID
81 voted tor Dana in order to spite
Pulitzer, Of Tho WOrld-In order TO do what can
to punish him for Opposing the election OF John H.
Fellows as District Attorney" Yet Mr. funtzer
was Governor Hifs guest last fall at dinner
which the latter gave TO the Interstate Commerce
Commission, aud their personal relations are san 10
be pleasant. In OF the strained relatlOuS De-
tween The HOrM and The sun at the present
time Democratic politicians are puzzle that so
diplomatic a man as David Is Hill should nave
gone out of his way to honor Mr. Dana.
