SARATOGA, n. Y, Sept. 24.-Fine
weather greeted the Democratic delegates
and boomers this morning. The poliii-
clans have been arriving in small patches
ever since Saturday. but the majority are
not yet on the ground. The principal
work of the leaders who are here has been
to confer with the orders of the Unitarian
national gathering and an attempt to come
to an amicable arrangement in regard to
the use of the convention hall. The Uni
tarians claimed that the hall belongs to
them by priority of engagement, aud Lieu
tenant Governor Sheehan and Mayor Gil
roy, while acknowledging that fact,
wanted them TO withdraw to the Town
Hall for Tuesday and Wednesday. The
Unitarian people finally compromised
They will give up the hall tomorrow,
from u noon until o'clock in the even
ing. On Wednesday at IL o'clock the
Democrats Will convene at the old Casino,
where Governor Flower was nomina ated.
and finish what business remains. The
refusal of the Untarians to accept the
offer of a church will cause great con-
fusion. The newspapers and Press As
sociation WILL suffer much by this, as there
are DO wires at the Casino.
There is not a man yersed in the ways
Of conventions Of political parties that
ever saw a scene like that which confronts
The Democratic committee. The predica-
ment was explained at o'clock in veIy
few words by Lieutenant-GOverno Shee-
han. He said:
There is not man or politician here
that knows who the nominee Will be until
the convention meets tomorrow. 1t s
anybody's or any factions candidate, and
the convention will be Democratic one
in every sense of the word"
1t is perfectly probable there will be
repetition of the convent on Of 1876, when
the galleries nominated Seymour for Gov
ernor, he afterward declining to run and
Robinson being selected as a candidate.
The reception that will be accorded TO
Senator Hill by the convention will un-
dOubtedly take on a remarkable phase. 1t
is probable he will be nominated by accla-
nation from the galleries. That he will
decline, however, is almost certain.
Senator Hill arrived this evening late,
and opened headquarters at the Grand
Union Hotel. Said tie: 81 received word
that l was to be the tenn Dorary chairman
of the convention tomorrow. [ know
nothing about who is the most probable
candidate"
He was shown the telegram to the Asso-
ciated Press about the declination of Mr..
Gayndr. and he said laconically: 1T
seems the proper thing to refuse to be a
candidate"
Several Tammany delegates were seen
tonight in regard to the placing of Tam
many's strength, and every man fayors
William c. Whitney. When asked as 10
the Flower boom they seemed to be unan-
imous enough, but expressed little hope of
his retTacting his withdrawal The Tam
many delegates will hold conference to-
morrow morning and will probably come
out as one man for him or Whitney. II is
announced by the Tammany people that
Mr. Whitney Will be home tomorrow, and
will be in Saratoga on Wednesday. This
is in itself significant. for Mr. Whitney
was not expected to be visitor at the con-
vention. Further, those who arranged for
the meeting of the convention have de-
cided to wait whole day in taking up the
nominating of Candidates. and il is urged
that this is in favor of the Whitney boom.
because the delay is evidently to let Mr.
Whitney's decision be known before final
action is taken.
The Erie County people, who were cred
tied with having boom for Daniel Lock
wood, and the Monroe County people, who
were credited with a similar move tor
Frederick Cook for Governor, are rather
apathetic tonight
For Lieutenant Governor the name most
prominently mentioned is that of Fred
erick Cook, who, it is said, will accept the
place under Mr.. Whitney, but under no
one else.
Fer Judge of The Court of Appeals
Spencer Clinton of Buffalo has the call,
but d. Cady Herrick of Albany is men
toned as very probable candidate to ap-
pease the anti-machine men.
Gaynor's adherents tonight regard the
