HILL TO BE PERMANENT CHAIRMAN.
Mr. Hill is to be permanent chairman Of the
convention. His prominence at the convention
ought 10 be assurance enough TO every Mug
wump and Cleveland Democrat that bossism is
dead in the Democratic party. Mr. Hill has
been hard at work for two weeks at Albany,
fixing up the machinery of the Democratic
party and carrying the necessary negotia-
tions for genuine "bunco ticket but Of

that every Mugwump and Cleveland Demo

about the prospects Of the admission OF MS
organization from NewYork to the convention
the representatives Of the Democrats OF that
city. The Tammany Hall leaders threw forth
no suggestions that for the sake Of harmony
they would surrender part Of their representa-
ton to the Fairchild crowd. But the leaders Of
the Shepard Democracy from Brooklyn made
more formidable appearance. Edward NJ. Shep-
ard himself arrived here from his summer home

HILL FAvORS GAYNOR'S NOMINATION.
The candidacy Of Justice William j. Gaynor,
Of the Supreme Court. for the Democratic nom
lnation for Governor undoubtedly Is In the
hands Of Mr.. Shepard and his friends. 1t Is
plain from the talk of the Tammany Hall and
other leaders who come here from Albany that
David b. Hill Is seriously thinking Of nomi-
Mating Judge GaynOr for Governor Mr.. Hill
is represented to have said that the candidacy
Of Frederick Cook, of Rochester; John Boyd
Thacher, Of Albany, or Daniel y. Lockwood. OF
Buffalo would not greatly aid the Democratic
State ticket but tia. he believed that the nomi
nation OF Judge Gaynor would do So Accord.
ingly tonight 1t is apparent from the talk OF
the leading Democrats here that they believe
that Boss Hill interds to nominate Judge
Gaynor Mr.. Hill is also said to have conceded
10 the "reformers' Of the Fairchild and Shepard
type the naming Of the candidate Tor Judge OF
the Court Of Appeals Mr.. H however. will
name not only the candidate for Governor. Dut
also the candidate for Lieutenant-Governor The
nominee for Lieutenant-Governor. ne says mus .rs
be emphaticaly machine" man The re
formers declare that If they can name the
candidate for Judge of the Court of Appeals
they will shut their eyes TO the character OF
the nomination for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Judge Gaynor's friends. however. are pracu-
ca politicians themselves. They suspect that
the Mclaughlin Democrats Of Kings County
have drawn David B. Hill into their scheme OF
nominating C;aynor sir1ply for the purpose OF
discrediting him. They know he cannot be elect
ed. and therefore push MS NOMINATION IL ,e ne
accepts the nomination. he must resign his place
as a Justice of the Supreme Court; and this
perhaps will enable some Mclaughlin Democrat
10 step into Gaynors shoes. Then. too. Gaynor
has been the power behind the scenes in Great
ing the Shepard Democracy. who threaten Boss
McLaughlin's power In Brooklyn. If ne can DE
defeated as Governor the Shepard Democracy
will suffer discredit in the eyes OF voters ana
perhaps dissolve.
DEMANDS OF JUDGE GAYNOR's FRIENDS.
Judge Gaynor's supporters under these condi-
tons. demand assurances from David B. Hill
that Gaynor will be honestly supported. They
say that the Democratic State Committee must
Oe reconstructed. and William F. Sheehan de-
pi"eu Oh MS place as chairman of It's Executive
.ee SoInl.tee II Judge Gaynor is 10 accept the
nohihatlon for Governor they insist that he
