MADE BY LOCAL DEMOCRATS AROUND
THEIR HEADQUARTERS.

Preparations for To- -Day'siCouventions-Dif
ference of Opinion as TO the Guber-
Material DeIegates-The Tight Race Be-
tween McWilIiams and Boyle.
At the headquarters of the Democratic
County Committee yesterday there was no
noise, but there was an intense interest to
ascertain the situation as clearly as possible.
County Commissioner Williams was receiv-
ing intelligence from all quarters, and he
expressed himself satisfied with the outlook.
There were Others, however, who asserted con-
fidently that Boyle would lead at the 20 off
with McWilliams close after. They were
not botherlng their heads over the
Gubernatorial contest, and referred inQuirers
to the Randall Club rooms. Here, however,
on the first visit, only Louis Celia was found,
and he said be was not up on figures, and he
seemed to be more interested IN getting the
furniture in shape for the fitting to Duquesne
way toward the end of the week. After the
second visit only Colonel Guthrie was found,
and he said he had nothing Succinct and re-
ferred the inquirer TO ex-Postmaster Larkin.

The tug Of war will be at the Commissioners
convention. The Boyle people expect to get
the first blood by the organization of the con-
vention and getting of the name of their man
in first. The McWilllams people are not likely
to allow this without struggle. 1t is thought
in this sparring for position the man who gets
his name in first will have an advantage. 1t is
said that Boyle is in favor Of running but one
candidate, as il saves bad blood and the canvass
costs less.
THE STATE DELEGATES.
AS to the complexion of the Democratic
Gubernatorisl delegation. little more seems to
be definitely ascertained than on Saturday
night. According to some it is Is to z, and ac-
cording to others to Is, while third party
say it for Wallace and l3 for Patt1son Will
fam ]. Brennan, Esq, says it appears to be
about even in the cities and he cannot answer
for the county. Councilman Mullin says it is
PattisOn now, but It will be Wallace at the
death, as his people are conducting a still
hunt There seems TO be vast possibilities in
the situation.
