SARATOGA. y. Y. sept. "A Pine weather
greeted the Democrats delegates and
boomers this morning. The politicians
have been arriving IN small hatches ever
since Saturday. but the ms iorsiy are not
vet on the ground. The principal work Of
the leaders who are here has been 10 con-
fer with the leaders OF the Unitarian ma
tional gathering and attempting 10 come
TO an amieable arrangement in regard TO
the use OF tue convention hall. The Uni
tarians claim that the hall belongs 10 them
by priority Of engagement, and Lieut..
Gov. Sheehan aud Mayor Gilroy, while
acknowledging that fact, are trying
10 get them TO withdraw to the
town hall for Tuesday and Wednes-
day. The Unitarian people finally COM
promised. They viii give up the hail
tomorrow from II noon nntn In the
evening. On Wednesday al ii o'clock tbs
Democrats will convene AZ the old Casino,
where Gov. Flower was nominated, aud
finish what business remains. The re-
fusal Of the Unitarlans to accept the offer
of church will cause great confusion.
There is not a man versed IN the ways
of conventions Of political parties that
ever saw scene like that which confronts
the Democratic COMMITTEES. The predica-
ment is explained ia very few words
by Lieut.. Gov. Sheehan. He said. ''So.
there is not man or politician
who knows who the nominee will be
when the convention meets tomorrow.
1t Is any body's or any factions candidate,
and the convention Will be Democratic
one in every sense of the word" IL is
perfectly probable there will be a repeti-
tion of the convention of 1876. when the
galleries nominated Seymour for governor.
he Afterwards declining 10 run and Robin
son being selected as the candidate
The reception that will be accorded TO
Senator Hill by the convention will un-
doubtedly take on remarkable phase. 1t
is probable that he viii be nominated by
scelamation from the galleries. That he
will decline, however. is almost certain.
Senator Hill! arrived late this evening
and opened headquarters At the Grand
Union hotel. Said he: II received word
today that | was 10 be temporary chair
man of the convention. ! know nothing
about who Is the most probable candi-
date" He was shown the dispatch re-
ceiyed by the Associated Press about the
declination of Mr. Gaynor. and said iacon-
iealiy: 1T seems the proper thing is to
refuse to be a candidate"
Several Tammsny delegates were seen
tonight IN regard TO the placing of Tam
many's strength. and every man favors
William c. Whitney. When asked as to
the Flower boom, they seemed TO be
unanimous enough, but expressed little
hope OF bis retracting his with
drawal. Tammany delegates will hold a
conference tomorrow morning, and will
probably come ont as one for William
C. Whitney. 1t is announced BY the Tam
many people that Mr.. Whitney will be
home tomorrow, and will be in Saratoga
on Wednesday. This in itself is signifi-
cant, for Mr. Whitney was not
expected TO be a visitor at the
convention. Furthermore, those who
arranged for the meeting of the
convention have decided to wait whole
day before taking up the nomination of
candidates. and il is urged that this is in
favor of the Whitney boom. but the delay
is evidently 10 let Mr.. Whitney's decision
be known before any action is taken.
The Erie county people. who were
credited with having a boom for Lock
wood, and the Monroe county people,
who we're credited with similar move for
Frederlek Cook, for governor. are rather
apsthrsie tonight.
NEW YORK. Sept. A-Dr. Charles Ii.
Parkburst hrei another broadside at
TammAny hall tonight at the Second
Seformed Presbyterian church. Among
other things he said:
Il think We can thrash Tammany out Of
sight on election day. There is only one
obstacle the failure of anti-Tammany
organizations TO agree. The city of
New York is at present the most
phenomenal in the world. The recent
outbreak OF crime is unparalleled. The
spirit of anarchy is abroad. There is such
disregard for police regulations by the
force as should make as blush, if We do
not iremble.
