| SARATOGA IN. W, Sept. N.-Fine
weather greeted the Democratic delegates
this morning. The politicians 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 attempting to come to an
amicable arrangement in regard to the
use of the convention hall. The Uni
tarians claim the hall belongs to them by
priority of engagement, and Lieutenant
Governor Sheehan and Mayor Gilroy,
while acknowledging that fact are trying
to get them 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 evening. On Wednesday
at ii o'clock the Democrats will convene
at the old Casino, where Governor Flower
was nominated, and finish what business
remains. The business of the Unitarians,
to accept the offer made them will cause
great confusion. The newspapers and
press associations will suffer much by
! this, as there are no wires at the Casino.
There is not man versed in the ways
viii perhaps ever witness a scene like
that which contronts the Democratic
committee. The predicament was ex-
planned at 9 O'Clock in very few words
by Lieutenant-Govern Sheehan. He
said: "rhere is not a man or politician
here who knows VINO the nominee will
be until the convention meets tomorrow.
1t is anybody's or any factions candi-
date, and the convention Will be Demo
cratic one in every sense of the word"
1t is perfectly probable that there will
| be a repetition of the convention of
1870, when the galleries nominated Sey-
| mour for Governor, he afterwards de-
! clining to run, and Robinson being ser
| lected as the candidate.
| The reception that Will be accorded to
! Senator Hill by the convention will un-
| oubtediy take on a remarkable phase.
/ 1t is probable he will be nominated by
acclamation for Chairman. That this
| will be done is almost certain.
| Senator David b. Hill arrived late this
evening and opened headquarters at the
| Grand Union Hotel. Said he: ~ received
word that | was TO be the temporary
| Chairman OF the convention to- morrow.
[ know nothing about who is the most
| probable candidate" He was shown the
| telegram shown TO the Associated Press
| about the declination of Mr. Gaynor, and
he said, laconically: "IJ seems the proper
thing is to refuse TO be candidate"
Several Tammany delegates were seen
tonight in regard TO the placing of Tam
| many's strength and every man favors
w. Z. Whitney. When asked as TO the
Flower boom they seemed to be unani-
| nous enough that there was little hope of
his retracting his withdrawal.
The Iammany delegates will hold a
| conference tomorrow morning and will
probably come out as one man for him
or Whitney. 1t is announced by the
| Tammany people that Whitney Will be
| home Tomorrow and VIII be in Saratoga
on Wednesday. This is in itself signiti-
cant, for Mr. Whitney was not expected
to be visitor at the convention. Fur
| ther, those who arranged for the meeting
| of the convention have decided to wait
whole day in taking up the nomination
| of candidates and it is urged this is in
favor of Whitney's 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
| credited with having boom for Daniel
! S. Lockwood, and the Monroe County
| people, who were credited with a similar
move for Frederick Cook for Governor.
are rather apathetic tonight.
! For Lieutenant-Governor the name
| most prominently mentioned is that of
! Frederick Cook, who, it is said, will ac-
| cept the place under Whitney, but under
no one else.
For Judge of the Court of Appeals
| Spencer Clinton OF Buffalo has the call,
! but ID. Cady Herrick of Albany is men
toned as a very probable candidate to
| appease the anti-machine men.
GAYNoR NOT A CANDIDATE.
RIVER HEAD (N. ", Sept. 24.-Judge
| Gaynor will not be a candidate for Gov
ernor of New York. He sent courteous
but positive letter of declination to Sara
| toga tonight, submitting that he was
grateful to the people for the handsome
way they elected him to the Supreme
| Court, and that he could not consider it
| decent to so soon appeal to their suffrages
| to gain another position.
