Saratoga, n. Y. Sept. 2G.-There is
not II man in the ways of conventions
of political parties that ever saw a
situation like which confron.s the
Democratic convention Intending 10
meet tomorrow. The ure.l!.slment is
explained in IL very few words by
Lieut.. Gov. .Sheehan. He said: '"rhere
is not Il man or politician here that
knows Who the nominee of the party
will be until the convention meets to-
morrow. 1t is anybody or any faction
candidate, and the convention will be
a Democratic one i'll every sense of
the word"
1t is perfectly probable and not at
all out of the line Of possibilities that
there would he a repetition of the con-
nominated Seymour for governor, he
afterward declining to run, and Rob
inscn being selected as the candidate.
The reception that will be accorded
to Senator Hill by the convention will
undoubtedly take a remarkable phase
and will be scene long to be re-
membered by every person present,
and it is perfectly probable that he
will be nominated by acclamation
from the galleries. That he will de-
cline. however, is almost certain, and
then there will have to he new nom-
ination. Senator Hill arrived late
yesterday afternoon and opened head
quarters at the Grand Union hotel.
From the time of his arrival he has
been besieged by crowds of delegates.
To the Associated Press reporter he
said: Il received word that was to
be temporary chairman of the con-
vention to-day. l knew nothing about
who is the most prominent candidate,
and have no opinion to express as
to whom will be the nominee of the
convention"
Later he was shown dispatch re.
ceivcd by the Associated Press con-
cerning the declination of Mr. Gaynor,
and he said lacOnically: ut seems that
the proper thing Is to refuse to be u
candidate"

his withdrawal.
Ex-Speaker Sulzer said: civilian
G. Whitney is the man. Senator Hill
excepted, he is the man to carry the
state this fall. He will make his
