| Saratoga, Sept 23--Davd b. Hill, Boss Of thS
Democratic party. will be here Tomorrow to
+ give his directions his lieutenants about the
nomination Of the Democratic State ticket. Mr..
Hill likewise will act the succeeding day az
presiding officer Of the convention, and In that
capacity will make speech outlining the policy
Of the Democratic party in this State this year.
Furthermore, he Will bring here tomorrow the
platform Of the party all ready for adoption By
the Committee on Resolutions. Mr. Hill thus
will give of the finest examples Of bossism
that has been witnessed in this State Of recent
years
Saratoga to-day was a startling contrast to
the Saratoga OF a week ago to-day. Then over
three hundred prominent Republicans. confident
Of the victory Of their party in the State this fall
were here hard at work pressing the claims Of
various eminent Republicans for State offices
which they deemed worthy to fill. To-day
not fifty prominent Democrats were in the village
and none of them had candidate even for the
nOmlna ton for Governor. All were waiting the
word from Boss Hill In regard to the candidate
to be nominated for Governor. 1t was signn-
cant that Lieutenant-Governor Sheehan, who In
Buffalo had talked in favor Of the nomination OK
Daniel y. Lockwood. after talk with Mr.. Hill
at Albany had seemed to drop Lockwood ana
would merely say to-day that he was In favor
OF 'the strongest candidate"
WHAT HILL NIGHT HAVE SAID.
Again Mayor Gilroy. after shouting in New.
York that he favored the nomination Of William
C. Whitney, had suddenly grown silent so far
as Mr.. Whitney was concerned, upon seeing MI.
Hill. Possibly Mr.. Hl said TO Mr.. Gilroy:
Do you not remember that William c. Whit
ney went to Chicago and defeated my nomina-
tion for President? How can you think would
nominate him for Governor and possibly give
him chance TO carry the State and become the
Democratic candidate for President in 1896? That
would shut out of being a candidate for the
nomination for President myself In that year.
I should advise you. therefore, to drop th.g talk
about nominating Whitney for Governor.
Whatever Boss Hill said TO Mayor Giroy II 10
significant that the Tammany Hall leaders no
longer talk in favor Of the nomination Of Mr..
Whitney for Governor. Mr.. Hills present
choice for the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor is apparently. William J. Gaynor al
though it is possible that he may drop Gay
nor as swiftly as he has taken up his candidacy.
Mr.. Gaynors friends are here making demands
which It may embarrass Mr. Hill to grant They
demand that ne give the Shepard Democrats Of
Brooklyn at least equal representation in the
Democratic State Convention with the Nc
Democrats be awarded half the election in
spectors in Brooklyn. in order to guard Judge
Gaynors interests II he should be nominated for
Governor and that Judge Gaynor should have
the privilege OF naming the Executive Commit
tee Of the Democratic State Committee which
will have charge Of the State campaign for the
Democratic party. These demands. II Is said,
Senator Hill may grant. although wishes to
hear first upon the subject from the Mclaughlin
Democrats Of Brooklyn. He would like to OBJ
tain their consent to deprivng them Of half Of
their political power In Brooklyn. but, II neces-
sary. he will stamp upon them and compel them
to make this surrender 10 the Shepard Demo.

DEMANDS OF JUDGE GAYNOR.
William ]. Gaynor. II said will not consent
to accept the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor unless his special friends in Brooklyn are
thus recognized One OF the things also II 10
said which Judge Gaynor wishes TO know IL
who is to be appointed Judge Of the Supreme
Court II he resigns his seat in that court. Cow
enOr Flower teephOned 70 William +. Sheehan
to-day to come to Albany 1t is suspected that
the Governor wishes TO confer with Mr.. Shee-
han about this threatened vacancy IL Judge Gay
ror resigns Judge Gaynor would thus virtually
dictate the appointment Of his successor as a
Judge OF the Supreme Court: but then the
Democratic party Is hard pressed for candidates,
and Is ready 10 make large conc csssions in many
directions. Judge Gaynor especially is said to
demand the removal OF William F. Sheehan
from his present position of chairman Of tho
Executive Committee of the Democratic State
Committee.
HOSTILE CAMPS OF DEMOCRATS
Saratoga was divided into two hostile camps
OF Democrats to-day. One OF them consisted Of
the Tammany Hall Democrats at the Grand
Union Hotel, and the other Of the Fairchild Demo-
Gratis and the Shepard Democrats at the Wind
sor Hotel. Charles S. Fairchild, ex-Secretary Of
the Treasury, who heads the New-York State
organization from New-York. said
this evening: We claim to represent large
body OF Democratic voters in the City OF New
York. We have had enrolment, but this
does not disclose our full strength. The Tam
many Hail leaders are we'll aware that We repre-
sent a large body OF Democratic voters in the
We think the leaders of the Demo-
cratic party are also aware Of that fact II they
wish this body Of Democratic voters to have q
voice in the councils Of the party they will admit
II 10 representation in the convention. Tammany
Hall bolted the nomination OF the Democratic
)arty In 1879 and only obtained partial representa-
ion several years afterward in the State conven-
Ions Of the party. We claim the right of hav-
Ing representation granted II
granted to Tammany Hall when it was apparent
hat a good deal Of Democratic opinion centred
n that organization"
TAMMANYS MODEST DEMAND.
Tammany Hall, however does not propose. II
t help It. to give any representation to the
lew-York State Democracy. Police Commits
ioner Martin said tonight: If the Farchild
Democrats are granted any representation in the
convention they will have the right to have
'ao,s with the Democratic State ticket printed

iayor That would enable them TO get a good

re, therefore unwilling that any proportion,
owever small. OF the New-York State Democ-
acy shall have any representation in the con-
ention, and we shall fight them. II they should
promise not to nominate a local ticket We would
hlnk differently"
George Walton Green. OF the New-York State
Democracy said. when he hard OF this demand
( Police Commissioner Martin: I'VE shall not
i've any such pledge that Will not nomi-
ate a local ticket in New-York. This Is a State
Convention and has nothing 10 do with local
fairs and local tickets"
Unless Mr.. Hill interferes. therefore Mr. Fair
hilds friends apparently will be excluded from
