SARATOGA, y. V, September ga
situation, more strange than anY that
has vet confronted the Democratic
party and the ike Of which has never
been seen in any Of the assembled party
leaders, is presented here tonight,
within thirty-six hours OF the time set
for the nomination Of candidate for
the Office Of Governor OF New York.
No selection of 3 candidate has yet
been made, and while one name is prom
inently mentioned here tonight, no one
person can be said 10 nave any-
thing like 4 mortgage on the nomiua-
tion. One week ago today the ticket
nominated by the Republican party
was printed with a show OF confidence
that later was verified. Tonight 10th
ing can be INDUCED but speculation.
Ii is true that Judge Gaynor's name is
on every lip, but when it is known that
the delegates here number less than
twenty-five. il Is easy 20 see that events
OF tomorrow may change the whole
current So far there are fouf candI-
dates mentioned for GOYernOr-Jud udge
GaynOr, OF Brooklyn; John BOYD
Thachsr, Of Albany; Frederick F. Cook,
OF Rochester, and Senator David b.
Hill. Daniel l. lockwood, Of Buffalo,
was mentioned, but II is said 0y those
who know to-day that be is practically
out Of the race, and that
Mr.. sHEEHAN's SUPPORT,
which may dominate Erie, will be
thrown towards Frederick Cook. Every
effort will be made, however, TO induce
Mr.. Cook 10 accept the second place
upon the ticket in case either Judge
Gaynor or Senator Hill is nominated.
AS 10 Mr.. Hill being a candidate, Lieu
tenant Governor Sheehan said to-day:
81 cOnversed with Senator Hill on the
matter Saturday afternoon before leav-
ing Albany for Saratoga. He not only
said that ne would not be a candidate,
but insisted that I should not or0ach
ae subject 70 him any more, aud hoped
That no further mention OF 10 would be
made"
J Notwithstanding the assertion Of Mr.
Z shee4an, there are some leop.e here TO-
hight who profess 10 believe that SenS.
Tor Hill may vet be induced 10 accept
With this feeling prevailing, Tammany,
its meeting tomorrow, will, al the
{suEgestiOn Of senator Canter, send
committee
TO WAIT UPON THE SENATOR
and try 10 prevail upon him to be can
didate.
Would Mr.. Hill make a good candI-
dste?" was asked Of Charles +. Fair
child this afternoon.
Il must decline TO snsWer that Ques-
tion, said Mr. Fairchi.d, Il am not here
10 the interest Of any candidate out
simply 10 see that al DemOcrots have
representation in the convention.
Mr.. Shepard, who represents the same
faction in Kings county as Mr.. Fair
child represents in New York, was asked
II there was anything new % their con-
test. He said:
Nothing. We shall appear before
the committee on credentials and ask
that our whole delegation be seated. So
far as nominations are concerned, We
are FOR Judge GaynOr.
For Lieutenant-GovernOr there are
three names mentioned tonight, Fred
erick Cook, OF Rochester; John j. Lin.
soR, Of Ulster county, and jacob B.
Cantor, Of New York, with the chances
seemingly largely In favor OF the sec
ond named.
For Justice OF Court OF Appeals only
one candidate is mentioned tonight
Judge Titus, Of Erie, although there IS
a rUmor tnat the name OF Judge A. 3.
Parker will be presented by his friends.
There was litJ.s hitch 10 the obtain
ing OF the convention hall for the holding
Of the convention. The De egates 70 the
Unitarian Conference, who will begin
their meeting here tomorrow, say how
ever, that the hall belongs 70 them,
lui tla, they have made no arrange
uen's with the Democratic leaders %
give it Up.
10 the Unitarian Church to-day 10 was
In8ouncsi that the Lords Supper would
De administered 10 the cOuyeutian hall
g. 1890 tuesday morning. The party
leaders. however. declare that they se-
cured The hall through the proper
authorities, aad Il IS believed that The
little difficulty will be amicably settled,
