SYRACUSE, II. Y, Sept 22.-whsrs
ono week ago to-day the Republicans at
Saratoga had practically settled all tho
dstalla Of their convention with tho
single exception OF tho excise plank,
here in this city, tOrty.oigh: houra prior
to the meeting Of the Democratic con-
vsntiOu, no dstails have been settled
and those few delegates who have At
rived arO absolutely at sea as to what
will DO tho ticket aud what the platform.
There does not SEEM 10 be any anxiety
in tho matter, except over two points
that OF the disposition OF the excI'o
matter anL the settlement OF disputes
between tho factions.
Even in the latter, the anxiety seems
to relate 10 New York City alone and
the contests torminOr counties are mere
ly looked upon as temporary mRttera
which will DO settled prior to tho meet.
ing OF the convention. Perhaps the
most curious feature ot this coming
Democratic convention iI tho fac! that
none OF the leaders have arrived in this
city. Headquarters which were en-.
gagged weeks ago are unoccupIod Rnd
even the rooms engaged by the smaller
fish that bob and float about the leaders
arO stiit empty.
srNTgsMES LOCATED.
Senator Hill Is supposed to DO in
Albany, Senator Murphy Richard
Croker and William +. sheohan are in
Saratoga. William Il. Grace, Charles s.
Fairchid and L. Ellory Anderson arc
still In New York. None OF the Kings
county men are here and the Erie county
people who have haTnonized their dill
ierenceS, and have elected mixed dele.
CATION, will probably not be here until
tomorrow afternoon. The only band
heard on tho street to-day was that OF
the salvation army; the hotel corridors
containing only the newspaper men
and the general population.
Tomorrow afternoon, Tammany 60O
stroug will arrive, and with the State
Democracy people. 2j0i In number, upon
their heels, there is likely to be music

tween tho factions Of tho party from
those counties who have elected two
sets Of delegates. There are small con-
teSta In Wayne and 0swogo counties,
which il is possible may be settled BY
threats rather than moral suasion.
II is readily agreed, 80 far as tho
Kings contest goes, that the arrange
mont entered into by the arbitration
committee will be agreed TO by both
factions. This representation gives to
tho regular organization tWo'thirds OF n
vote apiece and to the contestants known
as the sheparditeG, one'third OF a vote.
This seems to bs satisfactory upon tho
ground that the third Of vote given to
tho Shepard mon fully represents th0ir
strength in Kings county.
rAMMASY WILL NOT YIELD. q
Tho general sentiment among the
leaders, and even among the rank aud
file, is that the New York contest
should be settled in tho came manner.
But Tammany representatives here arc
loud In their assertions that the vote
controlled by the state Democracy in
New York by no means entitled thom
to onethird representation, aud that
il thoy we're given n ono.iourth repre-
sentaiion, thoy would have even then,
more than their quota. There Is also
q sentiment among soinn Of tho Tam
many mon that the state Democracy
should not DO granted any concessions
whatever; not that 1t Wonld be pnsticu'
larly wise to RntagoniSG them-but that
it would DO confession OF weakness
on tho part Of the machine orRanlZa'
lion that bo would discreditRblO TO
TammAny and tho state machine alike.
So far as can be learned tonight tho
state Democracy will tomorrow night
meet the Tammnnyites aud dOmand u

many leaders will rCiuIe this PROPOSE
ton and tho matter will be referred to
tho state committees committee on ar
