OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Only Leader
Present ut tho Gathering,
SYRACUSE, n. Y. Sept, 24.-Few Of
tho practical politicians in the city will
admit over having seen such a seothinG
pot Of discomfort US that brewed within
the iOw hours that interyened between
the hour Of recess Of tho Democratic
state convention and the meeting OF tho
various committees Up to tho hour Of
convsning it was supposed that the
plan Of representation adopted by tho
Kings county people wa, tho plan
favored by the leaders aud would be
adopted in the case OF the New York
contest. Bat mon with TammaRy
badges wore sowing diaconient and the
result was that when the convention
adjourned there was no certainty that
there would bo an acceptance OF the
plan.
Al the head and front OF the revolt
against the plan favored by Senator
Hill and Ex-Governor Flower are Sena.
tor Murphy, cx.Pdiico Commissioner
Martin, ex-senator Grady, ex'Mayor
GilrOy and Lieutenant Governor shee'
han.
Senator Murphy said:
Senator Hill and those who favored
tho admission Of these people arc
greatly in the wrong. Tho propOr place
for them to show their strength aud
hght their battle was in the primary.
lhey were invited TO take part, They
declined. They therefore have no
standing here. | am opposed to ad'
mitting them. II they are good, con-
sCisnlious Democrats they will not vote
against the Democratic ticket"
Police Commissioner Martin had
talk with Ex-Governor Flower this after.
noon and some very hot words passed,
Flower was in favor OF harmony at any
cost aud Martin was just as sure that
the state Democracy people should not
bo treated with, as they did not come
regularly "a contestants. The two lead
ers disagreed 40 badly that they lost
their tempers and lott each other with
out coming to settlement Martin
won't at once to the Vanderbilt and
called q meeting Of the Tammany COM
mittoe. lie presided himself and, upon
motion, appointed committee to ap.
pear before tho committee on contested
seats and argue against any representa-
ton for tho state Democracy. The
significant feature OF this move was the
inct that Thomas +. Grady, who is well
known to be deadly enemy OF the
state Democracy, was made chairman
OF the delegation.
Ono Of tho significant features ot the
day was the absence from tho conyen.
ton OF every leader except Roswell I.
Flower. Another OF the features OF tho
day was tho cutting by Mr.. belmont OF
that part OF his speech dGnouncing
third term presidential aspirations.
Some Of tho Tammanyitos, who had pro-
parol TO receive this part OF tho speech
with applause, were disappointed.
Relating to tho matter this evening,
Mr.. Belmont said to the Associated
Pfess correspondent:
"My speech IN general pointed 10 that
idea, but did not deem It wise to make
any great move in criticsng the nd
mlnistration's attitude IN that direction,
lorIonally however, am willing TO be
quoted rs against third tdrtn."
When the committee on C1ntoata
took up the Now York state Democracy
contest tonight Charles S. FnirGhid
srOke for tho contestants. 1t had not
been the purpose OF tho state Dem
ocracy, no said, to fight for admission TO
this convention, but rather to abide by |
tho decision Of last yOnr's convention.
Mr.. Thomas Grady, for tho Tam.
manyile', said: "IhOy cay we, Tam.
many mon, came horo to have our own
way aud to insist upon discriminating |
representation. But look ut those |
Indians who come here clamoring for
recognition with tho scaIps ofsuch mon

"Go back to your constituency"
shoutCd Mr.. Grady, pointing his finger
at Mr. Fatrchld and Wheeler II. Peck
ham, for you havo no right hero. II
you persist IN this course you are now |
rur5uing, You will bring perpetual dis.
asier unon tho democratic party.
A perfectly dcaIcnng roar OF appliance
followed Mr.. Gralys speech. Tho
hearing WIS declared closed aud the
commttOO went into executive session.
