ALBANY, n. Y, Feb. IS.-The approach

ming to color every event at this capital.
Men talk of it at ell times. seriously, in
differently, jocularly. Wednesday night,
at the dinner given by Senator Brown, the
subject was t0uched-hsrdly that. limited
at. Gov. Flower was there, George Erwin,
the republican leader in the Senate, sat near
him. Having forgotten his own glasses he
borrowed those of the governor TO read
aloud Lieut.. Gov. Sheehan's letter of re-
greet. They did not suit his eyes.
Governor he said, handing them back
gravely, II can't see anything through
these glasses but the word president, 'presi-
dent president.
YOU'RE eight years behind the time, 4"
said the governor. OF course there was a
laugh everybody laughs at dinner, but
there was greater merriment later when the
governor responded to the toast of his
health. There had been other hints that
he might be made candidate at Chicago.
"Tbis has been good dinner" he said in
his jolly way. "a frst-rate dinner. Sena-
tor Brown is prince of good fellows. There
have been many courses and | have liked

The governor while waiting for the din
ner to begin stood among the crowd In an
adjoining room. He declined seat, saying
he preferred standing among the boys"
There was no open talk about his nomina-
| tion. but only yelled hints, the result mainly
OF generous wine and the publication in
the morning paper Of Senator Vests letter
to the banqueters at Denver, wherein he
spoke OF Flower as good compromise can
didate. References to the letter and its
suggestion were the points that the gov
ernor said were "hot tatfy"
Senator Hill was not present. He cane
up from New York late and found mail
OF half hundred letters awaiting him.
When he first came back to Albany his Sec
rotary used to put the New York letters on
top. Then the governor was anxious for
news from his own state. Now the New
York letters go to the bottom OF the pile
and those from other states are opened first
