ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 13.-Albany to-
night assumed the appearance Of conven-
tion town. The hotel lobbies were crowded
with delegates to the Saratoga convention
and candidates for nomination on the state
ticket, who will proceed to Saratoga to-
morrow. These places on the state
ticket seem to have been determined upon:
Governor, Roswell p. Flower; Lieutenant
governor, William f. Sheehan; secretary
OF state, Frank Rics; controller, Frank
Campbell of Bath; state treasurer, Elliott
Danforth. For attorney general, Simon
Rosendale Of Albany seems to be in the
lead, but Judge Maynard is still
in the race and says no man can claim
that he has the assurance Of being
nominated. Martin Schenck Of
Rensselaer, county and Nathan Sweet of this
city are candidates for state engineer and
surveyor. The nominee for this Office seems
to depend upon the selection OF the nominee
for attorney general IL Mr.. RosendaIe Ia
selected for the latter Office it looks as
though Mr.. Schenck will benominated for
state engineer. He himself seems to think
he will be the nominee, no matter who is
nominated for attorney general.
ONE OF Flowers BACKERs.
Daniel G. Griffin of Walertown has ar
rived here on his way to Saratoga. He said
tosnight that he thought frank Campbell
of Bath would receive the domination for
controller, and there seemsto be no doubt
In the minds Of those here to-
night. Everything points toward a
two days session at Saratoga.
Adjournment will be taken on Tuesday un-
til Wednesday after the committees are an
nounced, i'll order to give the committee on
contested seats ample time in which to hear
the arguments OF the contesting delega-
tions.
THE VANGUARD AT SARATOGA
SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 13-This has
been day of political reniliscence among
the advance guard and old-timers OF
the Democratic party ia the state.
Tomorrow will come en- avalanche
of delegates. The name of Roswell p.
Flower is first upon the lips of those whose
opinions are OF any value but to each ex-
preston OF opinion that Mr. Flower will he
named for the democratic candidats for
governor there seems fastened string.
HILLS EAME HEARD
That Gov. Hill may accept the nounina-
tion seems the basis upon which not a few
rest their reservation. 1t is affirmed that
the governor has said that such thought
was preposterous; and there are some few
who assume to believe that Lieut..
| Gov. Jones is not by any
means sure of losing the first
place on the ticket, and that, II nominated
and elected, the honor of being the states
chief executive would so satisfy his de-
sire, as that he in that position might
be more kindly disposed toward any
| presidential desires of Gov. Hill
than any other man who IS now mentioned
for the first place. 1t is deemed unlikely
that the hustling young speaker, Mr. Shee
han OF Erie, will get second place. Senator
| McNaughton appears to be nearer tn,
second place nomination than any otheI
| man.
| TAMMANY FOR FLOWER.

an hour of reaching here this may all b,
