THE GOVERNOR AGAINST THE PRESIDENT.
BUSY STRIFE OVER THE STATE CONVENTION BONE
MAYOR cHAPrN's LITTLE BOOM
ALBANY, April tspocisD.-Tho meeting of tho
Democratic State Committee in New-York on Thurs
day may be regarded the opening Of the PresIden-
tial campaign In this State, far as the Democratic
party Is concerned. Tho eminent Democrats hero all
say that the meeting will be Of exceptional import
ance Indeed, 1t could not DO otherwise In view OF
the fact that the committee will name the time and
place for holding the Democratic State Convention,
at which delegates to tho Democratic National Con-
vention will be elected So important does Governor
Hill consider the meeting that he win send ono Of
his leading lieutenants william sheehan, to lead
the Hill Democrats who are members OF the commit
tee Mr.. Sheehan "a not q member but Will have
the proxy Of Patrick J. suey Hill man, as he did at
the meeting In February, when there was deadlock
In the State Committee between the Cleveland and
the Hill Democrats.
Mr.. sheehan persuaded tho Assembly to change tho
date of Its debate the bill appopating ooo,O
for the Improvement OF the canals from Thursday
until Wednesday. His chief mission at the meeting
Of the committee win DO to intrigue for the holding
Of the Democratic State Convention at Buffalo Gov
ernor Hill desires at present that the convention
should DO held ethor at Buffalo or New-York 1t is
we'll known that the Cleveland Democrats favor SYRIA
cuse as the place for holding the convention That
Of itself would DO sufficient reason for tho Hill men
to favor some Other place.
1t was In Syracuse that Cleveland was nominated
for Governor. and local sentiment in that city among
Democrats is strongly for him. The Cleveland mon
say that the Governor rather favors Buffalo because
General Peter c. Doyle and John NJ Wiley, two Glove
land Democrats are backing up the claim OF that city
for tho convention, and that with their votes and
those Of the Hill Democrats he hopes to impress the
country with the idea that no has victory
MI Cleveland in tho committee. AS IS we'll known,
the business men Of Buffalo arc now booming that
CITY, and ono OF their methods is to bring about tho
holding Of great political conventions within It's limits.
q. @. Warren, Of "Thc Buffalo Commercial" carried
the Republican State Convention to Buffalo, and now
John NJ Wiley and General Doyle arc ambitious to
take the Democratic State Convention to the Same
place
There has been some talk hero In tho last two or
three days to the effect that tho Tammany Hall men,
bers Of tho Democratic State Committee would sug-
gest that the convention be held in New-York There
fore, the Hill Democrats said to DO wavering
between New-York and Buffalo. Mr. Hill will un-
doubtedy throw his vote for the city which has the
most friends on the committee always excepting syria
ouso, the choice Of the National Administration
The Cleveland Democrats Of Albany have made
arrangements to fire the first gun in favor OF Mr..
Clevcland's denomination for President. They have
already announced officially that the delegates and
alternates to the Democratic State Convention from
tire Ist, lid and lid Assembly Districts Of Albany
County viii be elected April T. The State Commit
tee will meet on April s. so that tho news Of tholr
action win scarcely get hero when tho delegates will
be elected. This looks good deal like snap eau
Gus, but the object of these early Assembly Conven-
lions will be mainly to start boom for Cleveland
At each one, 1t Is said, resolutions will be passed
strongly favoring his denomination Newspapers
will be informed of the proceeding and kilograms will
be sent to other States. Every effort will be made
to make It appear that New-York Democrats arc
clamorous for the denomination of Cleveland.
Following tho precedent OF 1884, the Cleveland
men Will also seek to instruct the delegation OF New
York to the Democratic National Convention to vote
as unit. ANY sentiment In favor of nominating
David d. Hill for President will, therefore, be sup
pressed, as the sentiment In opposition to Cleveland
was suppressed by tho unit rule In 1884 The Glove
land Democrats at tho State Committee meeting Will
favor the election Of new State Committee at tho
approaching convention while tho Hill Democrats
Will oppose IT, Mr.. Cleveland's friends desire to
expel the Hill Democrats from the committee and the
latter naturally wish remain and Will fight against
expulsion Mr. Hills prospects Of renOminaton for

the election OF new committee unnecessary s
