Timothy J. Sullivan, the partner of Snaith and
Charles b. Andrews, the former superintendent OF
Public Buildings, reported 10 be missing 1t is
thought singular that Attorney General Tabor should
delay bringing this suit until the day before the con.
venton meets in which he is to be candidate for
denomination Some of the delegates are unchari-
table enough TO say that MIR. Tabor has brought this
suit at this time TO affect the judgment of the conve
ton to his merits public Officer. Meanwhile.
Mr.. Tabor has come here, and in handsome quarters
the LELAND Hotel TO night directing the oper
asionS of his friends who were seeking to nnomnate
him.
The only candidate mentioned in opposition to him
Is Senator John Foley, OF Saratoga. If the Count
Democracy and Tammany Hall should unite in oppo
sition to the nomination OF Tabor they would prob.
ably unite upon Foley. 1t stated by Senator
Foley today that he would nor become a candidate
for Attorney General unless the opposition TO Mr.
Iaoors nomination becomes stronger than It is at
present.
Controller wcmple also has here, opened
headquarters at the Leland Hotel, and is boldly seek
ing denomination. No candidate In op-
position 10 Mr.. Wemplc is yet mentioned
stu another candidate who is present IS Frank
Rice of Canandaigua. the choice of Governor Hal
for the nomination for Secretary of State. Mr. Rico
did not desire the nomination. but Mr. IIIl insisted
upon his taking it. Mr. Rice was selected os sensiby
because he was Cleveland man. Actually Governor
Hill desired Judge Rces seat in tue Democratic
State Committee. and therefore kicked him up
stairs" and tomorrow will place one of his own
henchmen in Judge Rce's seat I'm the
Committee. The Governor is aware that
Cleveland man holding Of the minor State
offices has no political power, whereas a state Com
mitteeman has enormous power Mr.. Hi is content
that the Cleveland men should have the symbols OF
political authority, while he possesses the actual
power.

his weakness is further increased by ramor tonight
that he had favored bank Deputy State Treas
uler. His friends Indignantly denied that there was
any truth in the rmor, but for time it aided Mr..
Beach's candidacy.
Tomorrow, il is said Senator DAY. of the County
Democracy, will offer the following resolution against
Controller Wempe and Attorney General Tabor;
Resolved That is the Of the County Democracy
delegates 10 the State Convention that it is both improper

The County Democracy, 1t is also said tonight.
will vote for Thomas E. Benedict for Controller, in
opposition to Mr.. wcmple. and for John Foley of
Saratoga springs for Attorney General! in opposition
to Attorney General Tabor. But It is doubtful If
the Tammany delegates follow the example of the
County Democracy. for Richard Croker thinks tha the
opposition TO Tabor and Nemple, even with the big
New York delegations supporting it, could not mass
