Whitney's Boom.

Z, SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 26.-A cold,
bracing atmosphere, a few spatters Ct
rain followed by bright sunshine, greet
ed the delegates to the Democratic state
convention. Everybody was astir early
Il the morning trains brought large
contingents to swell the crowd. Hotel
corridors and streets were full, and the
Grand Union, where the Democratic
headquarters are established, "a
crowded. The streets were lively all
night, marching crowds Of boomers
shouting at the top of their lungs made
the night and most of the early morn
ing hideous for those who wished to
sleep. Senator Hill was an early riser,
and when the first contingent Of lead
ers went into the diningroom about
$50, they were told that MI. Hill hal
eaten his breakfast at Z o'clock. From
that time OH till nearly noon he
Sat Behind Closed Doors,
refusing to see even the leaders, and
announced to all corners that he was
busy preparing his remarks as tempo
rary chairman. From all indication, it
is evidently the intention of the leaders
to formulate no slate until afternoon,
and until after the organization of the
committees. The Whitney boom still
retains it's prominence, and there is
evidently a desire on the part of the
leaders to wait until Mr.. Whitney's
arrival in New York, or in Saratoga,
before making a nomination. The Tam
many men are unanimous in their
selection of Whitney, and the
Kings county men, since the
the withdrawal Of Gaynor, show a dis
position to follow in Tammany's foot.
steps, and yet everybody wears such an
air of uncertainty that a dark horse
might be dropped upon the convention
with success at any time. There is also
a likelihood that the convention, with
the assistance Of the galleries, may
stampede for Hill, and in that case the
senator would have to 10 what he has
not done yet-announce positively his
decision in the matter.
Called to Order by Murphy.
Senator Murphy called the convention
to order at precisely Flap. m. Senator
Hill was named for temporary chair.

Mr.. Hill said upon taking the gavel:

ing effrontery.
If vain boasts alone could bring VIC
tory, their battle is indeed won before
it is actually begun; but we beg to re-
mind them that there has not
been a campaign in this state during
the past IL years when they did not
assume, in August and September, that
they had carried it, while in truth and
in fact during that whole period, with
a single exception, victory has perched
upon our banners on the first Tuesday
Of November, in each year. We win
u victories on election days and not
by exhuberant bravado in convention
halls.
The Unexpected Victory
Of our opponents last fall has turned
their heads and rendered them arrogant
and opinionated. They fail to recall the
fact that the total vote polled was
nearly 800, 900 short Of the full vote Of
the state, a victory which they them
selves did not anticipate, and which
their surprised and astute leaders the
next day after election humorously
attributed to Divine Providence and not
to Republican strength.
With a united battery and united
vote, New York is still a Democratic
state, and if we are true to ourselves,
will this year resume. her place in the
Democratic column. Our opponents,
by the vigorous beating of bogus polit-
ical tom-toms and the insistence upon
Petty and Misleading Local Issues,
seek to divert the public attention from
the unenviable record which they made
during their recent four years control
of the federal government. The people,
however, have not forgotten the fact
that it was a Republican administration
which. in that Inflated year Of 1890,
saddled the country with unwise' and
vicious legislation, which has since
crippled its prosperity, endangered its
finances and augmented its public bur
dens.
After temporary organization the
convention adjourned for the day.
