THE NEW YORK CONVENTION
Democrats Interested in the Assembly at
Saratoga Tomorrow.
RumOrs Of 81 Settlement Of fractional
-Wrestling With the
A. p. A. Question.

Interest in both party headquarters here
today is centered upon the New York demo-
cratic convention to be held tomorrow.
There is no information as to what will be
done at the convention. Among the demo-
Gratis a great deal was said about a report
ed coming together of the factions which
would result in a nomination which would
draw out the full democratic vote of the
state. Whom they might combine on and
how their differences could be adjusted so
IS to warrant hopes Of a winning fight
against Mr.. Morton was a matter con-
cerning which few suggestions were made
The Endorsement of the administration and
the condemnation of the income tax were
spoken of as features of the adjustment
Republican Belief.
The republicans show interest rather than
apprehension as to the possible outcome of
the convention. In general way they be-
lfeve that the appearance Of harmony will
be furnished by Mr.. Hills letting the ad-
ministration people have their own way
about the nomination. which will mean that
he does not object to having his enemies
put up a man to be beaten.
The absence of any substantial informa-
ton on the subject encourages a wide range
of speculation.
The A. p. A. Question.
The democrats are wrestling with the A.
p. A question. The operation of that and
kindred srganizations in various parts of
the United States is regarded as a menace
to the general order of things and as par
ucularly threatening to the democra tic par
ty in certain localities. The democrats are
hesitating and doubtful about their treat
meEt of the A. T.. AS. very much as they
were about the populist movement when
II
thai they will profit by their former ex-
perience and make war, on the A. Il. AS
from the very start, instead of waiting
until the organization has reached greater
proportions.
War Upon the Order Urged.
In Illinois, West Virginia, New York ard
Maine. and in scattering districts in al
most all parts of the country it is believed
that this semi-religious movement will have
an effect upon the election, and it is being
urged by many of the democratic leaders
that there should be immediate and uncom-
promising war made upon the order, as one
threatening to our Institutions by drag
ging sectariansm into politics. 1t is urged
tnat as the order is almost soidly against
the democratic party there is no reason
why there should be any hesitancy about
making open war.
A Counter Democratic Move
The formation of the "independent Amer-
lean citizens party" in Illinois. for the
purpose of running an independent ticket
in Cooke county and elsewhere in the state,
is regarded by the republicans as counter
move on the part of the democrats, to draw
off the A. r. A. support from the repubii-
cans in tnat state. The new move is said
to be under democratic leadership. Else
where 1t is thought, the democrats will
make open war on the order. The republi-
can campaign committee here refuse to pay
any attention whatever 10 the A. T.. A.
movement, regarding it as a matter which
should not be recognized in politics.
