the Democratic State Convention to be held
here on Tuesday next arrived this evening, the
chief ones being Thomas F. Giiroy. Commissioner
Of Public Works Of New-York and eX-Assembly-
man John B. Shea Tomorrow morning Richard
Croker boss" of Tammany Hall. will arrive
here from Richfleld Springs. where he has been
spending the summer. Another notable arrival
tomorrow will be Edward Murphy, ir., Of Troy,
chairman. of the Democratic State Committee
William F. Sheehan. of Buffalo. candidate for
Lieutenant-Governor, it is said will also be here
The strength of the State nominations of the
Republican party has frightened many leading
Democrats. Mr.. Fassett, the Republican can
didate for Governor, it is seen, is popular man
and likely TO make tremendous run for that
office Under these circumstances q good many
Democrats have been saying to-day that they
should not be surprised if Roswell p. Flower would
not be nominated for Governor on Tuesday Yet
the general opinion is that Mr.. Flower has so
many delegates pledged to him now that his
nomination cannot be defeated. Commissioner
Giroy said to-day:
Mr.. Flower has many delegates pledged to
him that he could be nominated upon the first
ballot without the vote of delegate from New
York for him. lie will be nominated for Gov
ernor upon the first ballot by practically unani-
nous vote. Kings County is the only county OPP
posed to him."
II was authoritatively announced here tonight
by the leaders of Tammany Hall that they should
demand recognition from the Democratic state
Convention as the sole Democratic organization LII
New-York. In other words, Richard Croker de-
mands that Tammany Hall shall be granted
scventytwo delegates instead of it's present quota
of thirty delegates, and the exclusion OF the
County Democracy and the Voorhs Democracy
from the convention. This demand, it can be
predicted, will make the convention one of the
liveest bodies that ever represented the Demo
cratic party.
Such of the delegates as have had talk with
Governor Hill in Albany to-day say that he recog-
nizes the strength Of Mr. Fassett and Mr.. Flowers
weakness in contrast, but the Governor says that
Mr. Flower, as Tammany Halls candidate, must be
nominated. The Governor, it was said, Is busy
with large number of Democratic clerks hunting
up Mr. Fassett's legislative record and preparing
o large number of mud-balls TO fling at him the
coming week when you have n bad case, abuse
the plaintiffs attorney" is the advice which has
been given to many young lawyers, and Mr.. Hill
apparently is preparing to adopt it, in view of
Mr.. Flowers weakness rs candidate. The
Hill men were saying to-day: Flower could not
make q bpCecn 10 save HIS lllc pONtluOI I'LL,
therefore, will be compelled to stump the State
for him and meet Fassctta. onslaught upon the
Democrats when he sets out upon his speech
making tour Of the State.
Apparently Mayor Alfred c. Chaplin. of Brook
lyn, has not yet lost the hope Of being nominated
for Governor He and Hugh Mclaughlin, Of
Brooklyn, have engaged headquarters at the
Windsor Hotel and there will hear the news Of
their Waterloo and Mr.. Flowers nomination on
Tuesday Most Of the Kings County delegates will
occupy rooms in the same hotel. 1t is odd
fact, however that James W. Ridgway. of Brook
lyr has engaged room for himself at each one
of the big hotels here. Possibly Mr. Ridgway
may be secretly candidate for Attorney-General.
The nomination for Attorney-General is now sought
actively by Simon w. Rosendale. of Albany, and
Isaac II. Maynard. of Stamford Delaware County.
Mr. Rosendale has been energetic in making his
canvass and has an excellent chance of Nomination.
Mr.. Maynard also has been active, but has bean
by the hostility of the lQuOrdealers
to his nomination When an AsSemblyman he
voted against every bill intended TO relax the laws
against liquorselling, The liquor dealers were
so hercely opposed to him in 1888, when he ran
for Secretary Of State upon the Democratic ticket.
that he was defeated. If he should be nomi-
mated the liduordealers will be compelled
20 nominate a candidate Of their own
for Attorney General since William A. Sutherland,
the Republican candidate for Attorney-Gencral, IS
n champion of high license. Perhaps the liquor
dealers will vote the Jones ticket" headed by
Lieutenant-Governor Jones for Governor, and with
a lawyer favorable to the liquor interest for At
ney-General Both Mr.. Maynard and Mr.. Rosen
dale have headquarters at the Grand Union.
William T. Sheehan has engaged headquarters at
