| New-York arrived here early this morning.
Until Mr. Hills arrival the multitude OF Demo-
cratic politicians that filed the hotels Of Sara

Governor. but did not have the courage, ap-

any particular man. Soon after Mr. HiiIs ar

had his candidate selected for Governor anu
that the mention of other men was merely TOT
IN. nurnose of "iollying" the public. II possi-
bIe into belief that the convention is not con-
trolled by Boss HILL
Mr. Hill took rooms on the second floor OF the
| Grand Union Hotel. He had big parlor ana
two or three apartments adjoining 1t wnere ne

representing the Democrats in revolt against
the Democratic machines in New-York and
BROOKLYN The Tammany Hall leaders ana inc
Mclaughlin Democrats all protested TO Mr. Hin
against his granting any representation IN the
convention to the Farchiid Democrats or the
! shenard Democrats Mr. Hill. Of course. talked
| over with his eutenants the various movements
| which were 10 be made leading up TO the noma-
| nation OF his candidate for Governor. Z
Senator Edward Murphy, Jr, ana tne
| Tammany Hall leaders urged Mr. Hill TO post

! Ubi,rav shouId arrive in New-York. They said
~. Majestic on which Mr. Whitney was cross !
ing the ocean. would arrive in NewYork ON
Wednesday, morning and then II could be DEF.
| in,tely learned whether or not he would accept
the nomination. The Tammany Hall delegates
followed this action up by declaimng loudly
their choice of Whitney as their candidate 1os
| Governor
Most Democratic politicians think this talk OF
- rla n
IN, convention. and that there is seriousness
in it, Mr. Whitneys most intimate friends mere
saw he would not accept the nomination because
of his belief that the Democratic party cannot
carry the State Mr.. Whitney. they declare.
thinks that possibly he may be a candidate for
! the Democratic nomination for President in 1896.
! and would be disnclinei to risk his chance or
| obtaining that nomination by facing possible
| defeat in New-York State as the Democratic
| candidate FOR Governor. Besides. they do not
| believe either Senator Hill or Senator Murphy
would Loyalty support him for the Governorship.
WOULD FOLLOW THE WARY LAMONT.
Mr. Whitney's friends therefore predict that
on his arrival by the Majestic on Wednesday,
If the making of a nomination is postponed until
that day by the convention. he will promptly
announce that he is not candidate for Cover
nor and would not accept the nomination If 1t
should be conferred upon him. They point to
the action of Daniel S Lamont in announcing
that he is not a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Governor in NewYork this
year and say that Mr. Whitney undoubtedly
would confer with Colonel Lamont upon his
arrival in this country about the political
situation in New-York State and would follow
that prudent gentleman's action in declining the
nomination without thanks for the proffer.
However. the talk about nominating Mr.. Whit
nev will be a sufficient excuse for holding the
convention here until Wednesday. and thus Of
giving Democratic newspapers an opportunity
for talking about 'he convention being a de-
Lucrative body and not under the complete
control of boss.
IN THE GREAT ROLE OF BOSS.
In the meantime Boss Hill will make the speech
which he has carefully prepared upon the politi-
cal situation in the United States and in detail
in this State. Mr.. Hill tonight according to
his directions, was chosen temporary chairman
of the convention by the Democratic State Com
mttee. After serving as temporary chairman he
will probably be continued permanent chair
man. Mr.. Hill thus will prepare all the moves
to be made In the convention outside OF the walls
and then will see that they successfully
carried out within the walls. His speech. 1t 10
said. will deal with the tariff and with State
politics The convention, according to the pro-
gramme OF Mr. Hill will merely organize to-
morrow, will listen to his speech will appoint its
committees and will then adjourn until Wednes-
day.
Some of the Democratic leaders In the west
ern part of the State humbly suggesting
to Mr. Hill the nomination Of Frederick Cook,
OF Rochester. ex-Secretary Of State. for Gov
ernor. Mr.. Hill had private conference with
Mr. Cook In Albany two weeks ago. and many
people think that he actually is Mr.. Hills cam
didate.
