sAS FASCsCo, Sept. 2O.-A special to
the examiner from Albany, y. York,
SAYS:
''If the republicans think they are go
ing TO run away with the state of New
York they may find themselves the
victims OF oyer-confdenee. The demo-
Gratis are preparing to put up stiff fight.
There Is general opinion In New York
and Brooklyn that factional troubles in
these two cities extend over the whole
state; that there are opposing parties
within the party In every county Of the
state, ana that when the convention is
held in Saratoga there will be as MANY
contestants as delegates. This Is not
true. There will not be more than two
or three contesting delegations outside
OF New York and Brooklyn.
