good work. Business will not be rushed
through. but it is thought that by meeting
daily 1t can be done expeditiOusly.
None OF the members of the convention
are wiling as yet to state whether they
nave any preferences one way or the other
as 10 candidates. They seem inclined TO
wait until one or two conferences have
been had and then talk over the qualitica-
lions of possible candidates.
In the Democratic camp everything is
Dustllng in preparations for to-nlgbts con-
ventlon in Union Hall. The chairman
snip was still subject for much gossip
among the members OF the party VINO were
seen yesterday, but there were no new de-
VeloDmentS III the contest from Saturday.
There are still those who claim that
Denprey is the man, and others who pin
their faith to j. Henly Smith. II. 5. Foote
9ld not seem to havxany backing yester-
day, and his chance re looked upon as
very gauzv. Even yudy Clunie. who
came out for him on Saturday, was heard
10 remark yesterday that 1t was only
Josh"
1t was again rumored Yesterday that
George X. b. Hayes. who has presided over
conventions In the past 10 which Buckley
interests were we'll served, would bob up
at the last moment and secure the prize.
But knowing ones said that This was an
other Josh"
The opposing factions in the party may
come to some amicable arrangement dur
Ing the forenoon or afternoon TODAY and
settle on man, and thereby prevent
wrangle on the floor of tie convention.
In some of the Assembly districts yes
terday private caucuSeS were held among
the delegates TO the convention Tor the
purpose of agreeing upon some candidate
tor the district Assembly from the re-
spectlve districts, the same to be reported
10 the convention. Most of these caucusss
were informal affairs, and no decisive
acii n was taken.
There was an animated meeting In the
Thlrty-third District over two PROPOSE
tions. One was whether The convention
delegation should have a chairman as
leader in the convention, and the ,Otner
was the selection of the Assembly candi-
date. Mannaerbund Hall. on POtrero
avenue, near Twenty-fourtn street. was
the scene OF the meeting, which was called
to order by James b. Hughes. All the
delegates, thirty-twO in number, were
present.
Mr.. Harrington made things breezy for
ness was taken up by denOunclng as a
forger, liar and general all-round scoun-
drel the man who had sent letters around
the district with his name signed to them,
calling the meeting of delegates Tor Satur-
day. Alter relieving himself Mr.. Harrlng-
ton closed by saying that he would run the
villain down If it took year.
j. j. Duun was then elected temporary
president and j. Strand secretary.
When ii came to making Them the
permanent officers of the delegation a
wrangle ensued. Some of the members,
led by the pugnaciOus Mr.. harrington,
were opposed TO the delegation having
any chairman. He claimed that no one
man should control ths votes of the dele
gates. He had heard ii said that the chair
man of the delegation was going to the
convention with the collar OF the district
in his hands. He for one dill not wont
any one to vote his name.
Mr.. Harrington was assured that the
chairman had no power TO assume any
such prerogatiyes. He was only electe d
for the purpose Of announcing the votes
of the members VINO were present az they
were given 10 him. He could vote for no
body aud really had no more power tina u
any other delegate.
A confrere of Mr.. Harrington also re-
fused TO be convinced that the chairman
would rot he the cZar of the delegation,
the matter and Chairman Dunn was
elected amid applause.
By resolution 1t was decided that the
seven members at large should vote with
the twenty-five district delegates upon the
selection of an Assembly candidate.
Lawrence j. Dwyer aud Edward Nc
Namara were the candidates named, and
ballOtiBg began. The result was that
Dwyer received the Endorsement by a vote
of %, as against cast for Mcnamara.
New candidates for fav0rs at the hands
OF the convention are bobbing up every
day. Yesterday presented but few changes
in the large Offices il was stated in sew
eral quarters Yesterday that a strong effort
would be made 10 rush Adolph SutrO, the
present POpulist candidate for Mayor.
through the convention for the same Of
fee, but the report was not generally cred
ited, and Il is likely that MIR. Sutro will
not appear as a candidate for Democratic
honors, but will remain true to the party
which first took him up. The Populists
are positive that Mr. Sutro would not &C
cept the nomin alton, as by doing so he
would be stult1yng himself on the rail-
road proposition in Joining Issues with
those who are under railroad influence.
Mr.. Sutro himself settles the matter by
saying that he intends 10 remain with the
POpul SITS.
