| STORY OF THE DAY.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, Sept. 24.-Few
( of the practical politicians in this
city wial admit ever having seen
such a seething pot of discomfort as
| that brewed within the few hours
| that intervened between the hour
| of recess of the Democratic state
! convention, which adjourned today
after a session lasting about an hour,
and the meeting of the various COM
mittees. Up to the hour of conven-
| ing it was supposed that the plan
of representation adopted by the
Kings county people was the plan
! favored by the leaders, and would
be adopted in the case of the New
| York contest. But men with Tam
many badges were sowing discon-
| tent, and the result was that when
the convention adjourned there was
no certainty that there would be
! any acceptance of the plan. At the
| head and the front of the revolt
against the plan favored by Sem
ator Hill and eX-Gov. Flower were
Senator Murphy, ex-Police Commits
| sioner Martin, ex-senator Grady, ex-
To-
han. The last mentioned was in
clined to be conservative, and was
strenuous in his denials of a story
| to the effect that at the meeting
OF the state committee this morn
! ing he had declared, in the presence
| OF Senator Hill, that any man who
voted for the admission of the state
Democracy people was traitor to
the Democracy.

tee he said, "and never expressed
my views except to Senator Hill per-
! sonally''
But Senator Murphy spoke differ
emily. He said: Senator Hill and
those who favor the admission of
these people are greatly in the
wrong. The proper place for them
f! to show their strength and fight
their battle was in the primary. They
were invited to take part. They
declined. They, therefore, have no
standing here. 1 am opposed to ad-
mlttlng them. If they are good.

not vote against the Democratic
ticket
MARTIN AND SHEEHAN OITAR-
REL.
Police Commissioner Martin had a
talk with eX-Gov. Flower this after
noon and some very hot words
passed. Flower was in favor of
harmony at any cost, and Martin
was just as sure that the state De-
/ mocracy people should not be treated
with, as they did not come regularly
! as contestants. The two leaders dis
agreed so badly that they lost their
tempers, and left each other with
| out coming to a settlement. Martin
went at once to the Vanderbilt and
called a meeting Of the Tammany
committee. He presided himself.
ana, upon motion, appointed a com
mlttee to appear before the commit
tee on contested seats and argue
against any representation for the
state Democracy. The significant
feature of this move was the first.
that Thomas F. Grady, who is well
known to be a deadly enemy of the
/ state Democracy, was made chair
man of the delegation.
| One of the significant features of
the day was the absence from the
| convention of every leader except
Roswell P. Flower. Senators Hill
and Murphy did not come Lead
ers Martin and Grady, of Tam
many, were not there John Boyd
Thacher was at the Yates, in Mr..
Hills room, and ex-Lieut Gov. Shee-
han was at the room of Senator Muir
ply. Mr.. Gilroy stayed with Sena-
tor Murphy for some time, but as he
had a resolution to present he
strolled into the convention in the
middle of Chairman Belmont's
| speech.
AGAINST A THIRD TERM.
Another of the features of the day
was the cutting by Mr.. Belmont os
that part of his speech denouncine
thlrd-term presidential aspirations.
I Some Tammanyites, who had pre-
pared to receive this part of the
speech with applause, were disap-
| pointed. Referring to the matter
this evening Mr.. Belmont said to
the Associated Press correspondent:
My speech in general pointed to
that idea, but I did not deem it wise
to make any great move in CRITICS.

The many booms for office have
been pushed this afternoon with a
persistency that is amusing. There

are sure of the nomination for comp
troller General interest centered
about the meeting of the committee
on resolutions, where the excise
plank was being discussed in exec
utive session, and about the COM
mittee on credentials, where the New
York and other contests were to be
decided. 1t was voted to reserve
the matter of the New York and
Kings county contests until the set
tlement of the others. The chair
man announced that the contests in
the First, Second and Third districts
of the county of Queens were before
the committee. Senator Hill moved
that the sitting delegates of the dis
trict be declared entitled to their
seats. The motion was adopted
THE STATE DEMOCRACY.
When the committee on contests
took up the New York state De-
mocracy contest, Charles N Fair
