JONES' NAME NOT MENTIONED.
Friends of the Whisky Governor May
Nominate Him With a Rush.
A split Certain in New York City-The
State Committee Admits all the Tam
many. Delegates and Refuses to Rec
ognize the County Democracy.

SARATOGA, N. Y. Sept 1@-The Demo-
cratic hosts are assembling here for the
convention tomorrow. 1t Is reported to-
night that Speaker Sheehan is confident
OF the nomination for lieutenant gov
ernor. Even the leaders cannot say
with certainty who will be named
for governor. but it is thought
if the friends of Governor Hill feel that a
point has been reached where there is a
fairly clear chance of success for hurrah
movement in Governor Hills renomina-
ton an attempt will be made. Flowers
friends are also very confident.
At meeting of the Democratic state
committee tonight the resignation of John
b. Voorhees,. which was received immedi-
ately preceding the New York election in
1888, was taken from the table and ac-
cepted. He was then elected to represent
the Eighteenth congressional district on
the state committee.
When the roll was called for delegates
1t gave Tammany hall full representa-
ton OF seventy-two delegates. The County
Democracy committee were amazed, and
to their interrogation the clerk re-
piled that the only list of delegates
from the New York counties which he
had received was the Tamrnany
list. Foster moved that the County
Democracy be allowed half the delegates
on the preliminary roll call Then there
was hot debate, and Tammany urged
that there was serious danger in any
recognition of the County Democracy
by the state convention. They urged
that giving delegates to the County
Democracy meant giving inspectors to Tom
Platt at the next presidential election in
three out of every four election districts in
New York city. The motion to give one
half the representation was lost, and the
County Democracy members withdrew.

Up a Sensational Career.
PoRT TOWNSEND, Sept lA-[special. Edward
Nssbitt, retail music dealer and would be
social leader, is missing, with debts approxi-
mating close to $1,000. Nesbitt first attained
local distinction about year ago, when he was
publicly classified by Proprietor Curtis, of the
Cosmopolitan hotel Nesbitt accused Curtis of
slandering him in connection with an estimable
young lady. Curtis denied the allegations and
astreet fight was the result Nesbitt then brought
SUIT Tor slander and assault against Curtis
The latter compromised the case for
$3.50 cash. The two men had another row. Nes-
bitt was again worsted and again sued Curtis
for a cash amount for injuries received The
second case is still in court Dr. G. f. Selfridge
at present residing at Oakland, Cal, backed
Nesbitt in the music business. The latter tried
hard TO obtain a social foothold, and parti ally
succeeded. He had a fine bass voice, and was

gutter. Then he branehed out into an operatic
manager on a small scale By guaranteeing
Miss Emma Thursby, the noted cantatriee a
heavy moiety, he induced her to go to
Port Angeles for an engagement. When
the lady arrived there were not $50
worth of seats sold. She then refused to sing,
and threatened to make it warm for Nesbitt if
she ever caught him. Nesbitt's principal credit
or was Kohler e. Chase, of San Francisco, for
whom he sold three pianos, pocketing the pro-
ceeds. The San Francisco house is secured by
the paper of DR.. Selfrdge's father living in Oak
land. 1t is rumored that a relative recently de-
ceased left Nesbitt legacy of $1,000 He is an
Englishman and believed to be making for
home, via the Canadian Pacific.
