Inside Information.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The Star prints
to-day some inside information about the
political situation in New York, which 10
declares comes from - prominent and well
posted Democrat After assuring all
that everything is working in New York
rs the Cleveland men desire. this informant
says: The Democracy of New York may
be divided into two groups, viz: y good
sized minority who are out-and-out Clcve-
land men. and 4 majority who are Hill men.
The Hillites are again divided into two
classes. About half of them are for Hill
and no one else. The rest are FlowerHill
men. When il became apparent that there
WAS some dissatisfaction among the Hill
men. Mr.. Flower stepped III to claim the
honorS which must fall from the governors
shoulders. MIR. Flower got none and he
would like to be governor. When he came
to make Il canvass of the situation IL be-
came apparent the fight would be between
him and Hill. About this time the Cleve-
land folks, who are the old-time fellows
who do not take much hand il politics until
there is Il time when they want To do Some-
thing. and then take hold aud do il, began
to bestir themselves 10 get delegates for ~.
Flower. i'll looking around for dele gates ran
against great many Cleveland men, and
soon came to appreciate that he must
have their support TO win against Hill, who
had a very determined purpose la secure
the nomination himself for Il third time. |
do not know how il was brought bout, but
an understanding was reached between the
Cleveland and Flower people, by which
Flower gets Mr.. Clevcland's support, ana
Flower is to help Cleveland in the matter
of the delegation to the Democratic ma
tional convention. This changes the line of
division so that the portion of the Flower
contingent which holds the balance Of
power instead of being on the Hill side of
the line viii probably be on the Cleveland
side, and the administration of Flower. if
he is nominated and elected, which seems
pretty sure. will be friendly to Cleveland.
All the men who are friends OF Flower will
not be friends of Cleveland but there VIII

land the delegation, and Hill will continue

SARATOGA \. Y. Sept. 15.-The Demo-
cratic state convention was called to order
at noon. George Raines of Rochester was
chosen temporary chairman and delivered a
lengthy address When Mr.. Raines re-
ferred to Governor Hill and the governors
utterance Il am Il Democrat the conven-
ton raised its first cheer, and 1t was IL cheer
of vigor and of long duration. The speaker,
during the course of his remarks, paid 4
graceful and hearty tribute 10 Fassetts
private life and domestic relations, and he
was heartily applauded by the entire BODY
of the convention.
The most conspicuous plank in the plat
form recently formulated by the Repub-
liean state convention is the precise az
Acknowledgement of reciprocity in trade with
foreign people as advantageous To all our
industries. The temporary chairman pointed
with pride to the growing commerce OF the
country under reciprocity with our Ameri-
can neighbors induced by the matchless
foresight of Secretary Blaine. The fcrc-
sight so commended dates from February,
1890, and was very hateful to 4 Republican
congress 1t came too late to stop the
movement of the people in every state to
retireithat Republican congress. The fore
sight of people had been exercised at Il
much earlier period: it has been kept alive
by the wilful refusal of congress to give
such a reduction of the tariff as would make
it competitive, not prohibitory. II is along
the lines of state affairs that this contest
must be waged most keenly.
The speaker then referred to the period
of 1864 when the question arose as TO
whether the interest on the bonded debt
created before the war should continue 10
be paid in gold or ''thrice-debased cur
rcncy,'; and continued: The peo-
pie are weary of this dicta-
ton of legislation not charged by
the people with the Office. They realize
that Platt's within has been the breathing
nostrils of Senator Fassett during his who
career. Fassett's leadership has been
forced upon his associates by every appli-
ance of machine politics. He has mad by
the throat the largest interests of the state
until they gave up the bride of peace or
subservience to the ambition OF Piatt-' In
concluding, the speaker eulogized the ad-
ministration of the executive Office as fol-
lows:
In congratulating him (HilD upon the
honorable fame he has achieved, am well
aware speak the sentiment OF every mem-
Der of this convention. May the mantle of
succession to the high Office of governor fall
upon as brave and skiilful leader and as
true Democrat as Governor-Senator Hill
of the Empire state"
Among the many resolutions introduced
and referred was one congratulating Arthur
p. German of Baltimore for his leadership
in opposition to the force bill
