SENTIMENT OF THE RURAL DELEGATES

Syracuse, N. Y, Sept 23-The advance guard of democratic delegates and shout CTS is increasing and before night the town will be filled with men who will make things lively in the convention hall tomorrow. Late trains brought in large number of delegates from the two extremes of the state, Buffalo and New York. Early trains today added only few to the throng in the hotel Hobbies. A dozen or more of the shining lights of Tammany Hall are here, and they are not idle moment. They will not talk for publication, but are doing lots of talking in favor of home rule on the excise ques- tion. They are also telling country del egates how they invited the Grace-Falr- child followers to walk into their prima- ries. and how these men refused and yet have the boldness to come knocking at the convention doors for admittance as New York democrats.
 The sentiment of the upstate dele- gates who have arrived is in favor of liberal trea atment for the Grace-Fairchild men, and it is pointed out that every democratic vote will be needed thlS fali if the ticket is to be carried. Erie county men, who have wiped out all past scores and united harmoniously, are loud m their demands that New York should do the same They declare that if Tam many refuses to accord one-thru or the delegates to the state democrats the con vention should whip Tammany into llne'
 The wigwam chiefs who are here nave gone to work industriously to prevent such a programme being carried out ana all is conjecture as to who will win
 Next to the fight over the liberal treat ment of the contestants the greatest ih- crest is being taken in home rule ana .ly h 1tf.h sented Sentiment in favor Of local ol,- ton seems to predominate, but no plank upon which the excise reformers rom all parts of the state can agree mas yet been formulated. Most of the reformerS want too much and they overiooK tne fact that there are many democratic voters who are opposed to Sunday open ing and who believe the whole liquor business is a great evil and shouid De kept in the narrowest limit
 The proposal to increase the state com mittees has many supporters, and unless the big leaders sit down on II, II VIII pe adopted.
 The slate that looks most promising here now is as follows:
 Secretary of state-Horatio C. King or Brooklyn.
 Attorney-general-D G. Griffin of Wa tertoWn.
 State treasurer--John B. Judson of Gloversville.
 State mptroller-Augustus c. Scheu. Buffalo.
 State engineer and surveyor-George Clanton Ward Bonneville.
 Judge of the court Of appeals-Altoh B. Parker, Kingston.
 It is understood that Theodore w. Myers. ex- x-comptroller of New York city, will accept the nomination of state comp trolier under certain conditions. He is favored by Senator Hill and, if the con ditions can be compiled with, his name may go on the ticket in place of Augustus Scheu.
 Charles A. Cary of Cattaraugus may also replace Gen. Horatio C.. King and Syracuse men hope to have. Russel, K. Stuart named for engineer.
