tIon, more strange than any that has
yet confronted the Democratic party,
and the like Of which has mover boon
seen by any of the assembled party
leaders, is presented hero tonight,
within thirty-six hours OF tho time sot
for the nomination OF q candidate for
tho office OF governor Of the state New

tion. One week ago to-day the ticket
nominated by tho Republican party

that later was verified.
Tonight nothing can be indulged in
but speculation. It is true that Judge
Gaynor's name 10 oil overy lip, but
when it Ia known that the delegates
hcre lumber less than twenty-five. 1t Is
easy TO SEQ that events OF tomorrow
may change the whole current. So far
there are four candidates mentioned for
governor, Judge Gaynor, Of Brooklyn;
John Boyd Thacher, of Albany; Fred
erick +. Cook, OF Rochester, and SEN
ator David B. Hill. Daniel L. Lock-
wood, OF Buffalo, was mentioned, but
1t is said by those who know to-day that
he Ia practically out OF tho race, and
that Mr.. Shcohan's support which may
dominate will be thrown towards Fred-
erick Cook. Every effort will be made,
however, to induce Mr.. Cook to accept
tho second place upon the ticket in case
either Judge Gaynor or Senator Hill is
O nominee.
As to Mr.. Hill as candidate, Liou-
tonaut Governor Sheehan said to-day:
II conversed with Senator Hill on the
matter Saturday afternoon before leav-
ing Albany for Saratoga. He not only
said that he wonld not bo candidate
but insisted that should not broach
the subject to him any moro and hoped
that no further mention OF 1t would DO
mado."
HILL STILL A PROBABILITY.
Notwithstanding the assertion OF Mr..
sheehau, there are some people here to-
night who profess to belive that scna'
tor Hill may yct be induced to accept
With this feeling prevailing, Tammany,
at its meeting tomorrow will, at the
suggestion OF Senator Canter, send
committee to wait upon the senator
and try to prevail upon him to be a

this afternoon.
AZ must decline TO answer that ques-

but simply to see that all Democrats
have representation in the convention"
Mr.. Shepard, who represents the Same
faction In Kings county aa Mr.. Fairchild
represents in New York, was asked II
there was anything new in their con-
test. He said:
'Nothing, oxcept what the Associated
Press sent last night. We ahall appear
before tho committee on credentials
and ask that our whole delegation be
seated, So far as nominations arc con-
cerned, We are for Judge Gaynor."
For Acknowledgements, there are
three names mentioned tonight, Fred
erick Cook, Of Rochester; John J. Lin
son, Of Ulster county, and Jacob B.
Cantor, OF New York, with tho chances

named.
For Judge OF court of appeals only

A DEMOCRATIC FEAST VS.. THE LORDS
SUPPER.
There was little hitch in tho obtain
ing Of tho convention hall for tho hold
ing of tho convention.
Tho delegates to tho Unitarian con-
ference, who will begin their meeting
hero tomorrow, say, however, that tho
hall belongs to them and that thoy haVo
made no arrangements with the Demo-
cratic leaders to give 1t up.
In tho Unitarian church to-day it
was announced that the Lords supper
would DO administered in tho conven-
ton hall at 1880 Tuesday morning.
The party leaders, however, declare that
they secured the hall through tho proper
authoritios, and It is believed that tho
little difficulty will be amicably aettled.
