rink, whore Governor Flower was nomi.
natod IN 1891, shortly after noon today
The decision of Mr. Whitney was expect
ed to reach hero before the convention

The Gaynor Mystery.
The Gaynor boom, which languished
during the morning because of the alloga.
tion that Judge Gaynor would not con
sent to run, and that his telegram Of last
night containing such Information was
l evidence Of that fact, had a revival when
| the Associated Press gave the leaders q copy
/ Of a telegram signed by Judge Gaynor in
| which he refuted all statements sent out
| last night from this place concerning his
| affairs. Mr. Towns, who gave out the tel
egram Monday night said when shown
| Judge Gaynor reply, II understand it to
mean that Judge Gaynor did not intend to
/ intimate that he was not a candidate, and
that such constructions placed upon his
messages sent here were incorrect.
| Lieutenant Governor Sheehan when
shown the message, said: II presume that
means Judge Gaynor is still ia the race.
| Well, the moro tho morrier
Senator Murphy who was with Mr.
/ Sheehan at that time said, 'These sew

ere rathor enthusiastic over his chances,
but at tho Same time some Of them seem
| 10 be perfectly willing that he should ac-
oopt second place on tho Ticket providing
Mr.. Whitneys answer is affirmative, but
contend that IL that gentleman answers
In the negative Mr.. Thacher Is tho logical
candidate Of tho party
The Lockwood boom Is still in q state
i of apathy. Mr. Lockwood will not abso.
| lutely declare his intentions and the
Erie people are therefore little at sea-
by far tho brightest Of booms, exclusive
Of course OF Mr. Whitnoy's, is that Of Mr..
Cook OF Rochester, because at present he
is favored by both senator Hin and Mr..
Sheehan. Mr. Sheohan will Of course be
for Mr.. Lockwood if Mr.. Lockwood is q
candidate and is presented by Eric coun-
| ty but at the Same time the lieutenant
governor believes as does Senator Hill,
that Mr. Cook is tho strongest candidate
yet mentioned. 1t is urged that there is
| very large German vote in tho state
which is usually Republican, but which
could be obtained for the Democracy IN
case Mr.. Cook was q candidate
What WIN whitney say9
It is intimated here that Mr. Cook will
only be q candidate when told to bo SO by
Al. L.. Il. g.f Il d.. ~
that Mr.. Cook will eithor write a lotter
declining tho nomination or accepting it,
as he may be told to do by Senator Hill,
Mr. Murphy or Lieutenant Governor
1 Sheehan.
Tho leaders are divided AS has been
said, Mr.. Sheehan and Senator Hill favor
| Mr.. Cooks candidacy, while Tammany
and Senator Murphy arc for Whitney il
| Whitaey will hayo it, All these booms
I are at rest Nothing can be determined,
and nothing will be done until Mr.. Whit.
ney stops his feet into New York city and
answers definitely the query which the
! party leaders have to put TO him. Mr..
1 Gilroy, Mr. Crimmins and Senator Muir
ply are quite oonfldont that Mr.. Whitney
VIII say yes, urging that the only reason
that he declined before was because ho be-
loved that Governor Flower would take q
denomination.
Gone After Whitney's Answer.

evening and elected William IT, Sheehan

Mr.. J. Sargent Cram Of New York left
last night in company OF several Tamma
nyites for the purpose Of getting from Mr.

time today, his ultimatum in regard to tn,
nomination for tho governorship which
has been rendered him and which is thl
