Flowers Name Most Frequently Mentioned

SARATOGA, n. Y. Sept I4.-This morning the
main streets and the hotel corridors presented
a striking contrast to their appearance OF
yesterday, which was an exceedingly
stupid day for those who had to pass
it in the half-empty hotels, for there
was not enough politics to keep up
q live interest. The Tammany braves are now
on the march, and the other New York and
Brooklyn delegations are expected TO swell the
crowd of politicians to about eight thousand.
The rink. at which the democratic state con-
vention will be held tomorrow, has
a =, capacity of about $500. There
will be $500 there, though the convention
numbers only 3s4. States made and broken
with persistent regularity, but Roswell +.
Flower 8 name is most prominent for the head
OF the ticket. Siill opinions that
he will receive the nomination appear
drawn back quickly should the wind blow in
another direction.
Although Gov Hill scouts the idea. there
seems to be a feeling that he might accept the
nomination himself if rendered
Then again Kings county may form a combi-
nation somewhere and complicate matters In
such an event there would undoubtedly be q
stampede.
When the convention stampedes," said one
OF the most prominent politicians in the state
ILLS ulOfnliS. II Will be Tor DAVID u. l1lll.
For lieutenant governor the same authority
said, there was no doubt that VIM. F. Sheehan
would receive the nomination. although the
same interests which oppose Flower are against
Sheehan.
Senator Donald McNaughton of Rochester is
also prominently mentioned for second place
on the ticket and is said to be favored by the
Hill faction. Senator McNaughton has stated
that he was candidate only in the event Of
Speaker Sheehan refusing to accept the nomi-
nation.
1t looks as though Simon W. Rosendale of
Albany will be nominated for attorney general
and Martin Schenck of Rensselaer, county for
state engineer.
Judge Foley of Saratoga and John Bogart of
New York are also mentioned for these posi-
tions.
For treasurer, Elliot F. Dsnforth of Che
mango; for controller, Frank Campbell of Steu-
ben, and for secretary of state. Frank Rice OF
Ontario are mentioned
The convention will be called to order by Chair
man Edward Murphy, jr., of the state demo-
cratic committee, who will name George W.
Ralnes of Rochester for temporary chairman.
NEW YORK, Sept 1.-The delegates to the
democratic state convention from New York
and Brooklyn left the Grand Central station
this morning in special train. The Tam
many people were the first to leave,
and they were followed by the yoorhis
men, county democrats and Boss" McLaugh-
OF the various delegations went away in diff
ferent frames of mind. The Tammany men
were shouting for Flower and were boasting of
what they intended to do in the way OF annihi-
latlng the county democrats.
1he Noorhis men were silent on the question
of nomination, and had little to saw on the
question of representation except to express
the hope that they would obtain some recogni-
ton and to allege that they were more entitled
to representation In the state committee and
pn ,srnx, rho, H.,
The County Democracy were quiet but firm
In their determination to insist the reten-
tion OF one-half the representation of New York
city. They repeated the statement that they
viii have their entire representation in
the convention or else will have none
| at all. The Kings county men who
mingled with the county democrats at the sta
tion were not 10th to say that they would give
the anti-Iammany organization a helping
hand. As for themselves they had
no question of representation to dis
turb them, and the burden of their
conversation related to the gubernatorial
nomination. They insisted that they would
have Chaplin at the head of the ticket or else
would have no Kings county man on it at all
and would not be responsible for the result OF
the election in Kings county.
ALBANY, n. L., Sept. 4.-Gov. Hill says:
'.Mr. Sheehan can be nominated if he wants
the place; / shall not oppose him"
Its undoubted that Hill advised Sheehal to
withdraw, but simply requested it and did not
demand it. His idea was that Mr.. Sheehan was
more useful on the state committee than on
the ticket
Hon. Richard Croker, the Tammany leader,
says "Tammany is for Sheehan. An objection
to him will create discord and serious trouble -
The ticket looks like Flower for governor, Shee-
han for lieutenant governor, Rosendale or
Campbell for controller. Lieut. Gov. Jones
will not be at Saratoga and his name will not
be presented at the convention. This was set
tied at a conference at Binghamton yesterday
