wHArOGov. FLOWER SAYS.
The Tammany meeting yesterday at the Au-
ditorum was very gloomy gathering.
Gov. Flower was met Immediately after leav-
ing the room where the New York delegation
was in session. There is nothing to be said. ~
he replied to the question put to him. but YOU
may take it for granted that opposition to Mr.
Cleveland has seen no reason to believe that it
has not good fighting chance of winning"

governor. You were quoted as the authority

this morning."
well. am willing that Mr. Hill should be
Withdrawn, although have authorized nobody
to make such a statement for me. NV position
Is just this: We believe that Cleveland cannot
carry New York, and we want the democrats to
name some man-any man--who can carry the
state. Gov. Hills friends are not selfish. If
there Is some other man upon whom those dele
gates can unite who are thoroughly satisfied
that Cleveland is an impossibility. then we will

There is talk to-day about Boies. have no
objection to BOies; neither has any other mem
Der of our delegation. If he can show strength
enough to warrant our giving him New York's
vote it is very certain we will give it to him.
The whole matter is still unsettled and no con-

this evening.

under the circumstances Senator Hills name
shonld not be presented to the convention.

democracy of the country nothing save that it
should not make the suicidal mistake of making
Cleveland the candidate.
''The only thing you can safely predict about
the New York delegation is that it will vote
steadily until the end against Cleveland. Fur

The New York caucus developed little that
was new save that Cleveland did not seem to
the representatives of New Yo-k to have the
necessary t"o-tnlius OF the convention, which
would secure his nomination. 1t was proposed
that Hills name should not be presented at The

anti-Cleyeland forces should be concentrated
upon Boies. Mr.. Croker is understood TO have
opposed this resolution and to have asked the
meeting to come to no conclusion until Mr.
Hill had been directly heard from. This was
finally agreed upon and committees were APP
pointed TO see the Iowa and Maryland delega-
lions and to invite them to a further conference
at the Auditorium in the evening
