BUFFALO, N. j., September u.-AThere
is quite rush for rooms at the different
hotels. The International Exposition,
which is being held here, has to great
extent been the cause for the monopoliza-
tion of majority Of the rooms and it seems
certain that late arrivals of delegates to the
Democratic Convention will have to resort
to their sleeping car berths for lodging, 90
great has been the demand for rooms
There is every indication that the re-
nomination of Gov Hill will be speedy
and unanimous. All delegations in this
city are unit on this and the names of
1t Gov. Jones and John Clinton Gray for
Judge Of Court Of Appeals will follow with
equal certainty.

HE HAS BECOME WEARY.

l cannot extend this letter by special
reference to other subjects upon which the
convention gave an expression. In respect
to them, as well as to those have noticed,
l am in entire agreement with the declar-
atoms Of the convention. The resolutions
relating to the coinage, the rebuilding OF
the navy, the coast defenses and to public
lands, express conclusions to all of which l
gave my support in the Senate.
In inviting a calm and thoughtful con-
sideration OF these public questions, We
submit them to the people. Their intelli-
gent patriotism and the good providence
that made and has kept nation will lead
them to wise and safe conclusion.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,

The democrats of the ways and means committee
have almost completed their tariff bill They
have reached point now where they are In per-
feet agreement, and the bill In general form is
completed. There remains now little for them TO
do beyond the manual labor OF getting the bill In
form, and some missionary work" to strengthen
the bill They are advancing In O way that Is
more satisfactory than they had hoped for. The
missionary work" to be done Is simply the
yielding Of little points here and there.
when they can thus gain strength for the bin
Wlthout making any serous sacrifice. The bill as
reported VIII put wool on the free list, will, by
way OF compromise, make material reduction In
the tax on tobacco and fruit brandies. and will
make reduction OF 20 per cent on sugar. Salt,
lumDer and other such raw materials will go on
the free list. There will be general revision and
adjustment OF the tariff schedule, and the admin
istrative features OF the bill win be practically
that formerly advanced by Mr.. Hewitt.
AT every step they have consulted expediency TO
q great extent and have so managed as to gain
strength In many directions They have perfect
commence that they will be able to pass the bill
almost as reported An exception may be made
as TO the wool clause After tight they may
compromise on this by putting coarse woods only
on the Tree list, II they can gain some decided ad
vantage by so doing. They appear, however. to
think that they will not have to make any change
In the bill in this respect.
