TOGA READY FOR THE FRAY.

Flower Has the Inside Track for the
Gubernatorial Nomination Hill
Seems to be Out OF 1t Entirely-A
Lively Fight on Between the Rival
ORGANIZATIONS.
NEW York, Sept. 14.-The delegates to
the democratic state convention from New
York and Brooklyn left the Grand Central
station for Saratoga this morning in a spec
ial train. The Tammany people were the
first to leave, and they were followed by
the Voorhis men. the County Democracy
aud Boss" McLaughlin's Kings county
contingent. The members of the various
delegations went away in different frames
of mind. The Tammany men were
shouting for Flower and were
boasting of what they intended
to 90 in the way of annihilating the County
Democracy. The Voorhis men were silent
on the question of the nomination and had
little to say on the. question of representa-
tion, except to express the hope that they
would obtain some recognition aud TO al
lsge that they were more entitled to repre-
sentation on the state committee and in the
convention than were the County Demo-
cracy.
STAND OF THE COUNTY DEMOCRACY.
The County Democracy were quiet but
firm in their determination to insist on the
retention of one half of the representation
of New York city. They repeated the state
ment that they will have their entire repre-
sentatiou in the convention, or else will
have none at all. The Kings county
men who mingled with the County
Democracy at the station were not 10th to
say that they would give the anti@T Tammany
organization helpiDgshand AS for them
selves they had no question of representa-
tlon to disturb them, ana the burden of
their conversation related to the guberna-
torial nomination. They insisted that they
would have Mr.. Chaplin az the bead Of the
ticket, or else that they would
have no Kings county man on it ateall and
would not be responsible for the result of
the election in Kings county.
THE CROWD AT SARATOGA.
SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 14.-This morn
ing the main streets and hotel corridors
presented a striking contrast to their appear
ance of yesterday. The Tammany braves
are now on the march and the other New
York and Brooklyn delegations are ex-
pected to swell the crowd of poll-
ticians to about 5000. Tho rink at
which the convention will be held has a
capacity of about $500. There will be

only 3S4 States are made and broken with
persistent regularity, but Roswell p.
Flowers name is the most prominent for
the head Of the ticket
THE LIEUTENANT GovERNoRsHIP.
One of the most prominent politicians in
the state said this morning that for lieu
tenant governor there was no doubt that
William r. Sheehan would receive the
nomination, although the same interests
which oppose Mr.. Flower are against Mr.
Sheehan. Senator Donald McNanghton of
Rochester lie also prominently mentioned
for second place on the ticke-, aud is said to
be favored by the Hill faction. Senator
McNaughton has stated that he was candi-
date only in the event OF Speaker Sheehan
refusing the nomination.
1t LOOKS as though Simon W. RosendaIe
Of Albany will be nominated for attorney
general, and Martin Schenck Of Rensselaer,
county for state engineer John Foley OF
Saratoga and John Bogart Of New York
are also mentioned for these positions
For treasurer, Elliott f. Danforth Of
Chenango; for controller, Frank Campbell
of Steuben, and for secretary of state,
Frank Rice Of Ontario are mentioned.
THE TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN.
George Raines will be the temporary
chairman.
It has been decided that some New York
man will place Mr. Flowers name before
the convention. The mayor of Water
town will second the nomination.
1t is rumored that the delegates from the
counties along the Hudson are much
dissatisfied that no place on the
ticket has been given to repre-
sentative from that section and that they
will make an effort to substitute Charles
Mcclellan Of Westchester in place OF Mr.
Sheehan for lieutenant governor They
say also that Mr.. Flower is to be run as a
New York man, but that the patronage, if
he is successful, will go to jefferson county.
All doubt as to Gov. Hill having a place
on the state ticket is now dissolved. Mr..
Flower is booked to stay, and, with Mr.
Sheehan, will be nominated unless violent
complications, now unforeseen, shall arise

night. Daniel e.. Griffiug OF Watertown.

state committee, moved, and it was

The roll call gave Tammany Hall the full
representation of seventy-two delegates.
The County Democracy committeeman were
amazed at this, and to their interrogation
Clerk Defreest replied that the only list of
delegates from New York county which he
received was the Tammany list. Mr.. Foster
moved that the County Democracy be allow
ed one half the delegates from New York
county on the preliminary roll call. The
arguments in favor of this motion were
lengthy aud heated. The motion was lost

John r. Voorhis moved that his faction,
