BUFFALO, Sept. 16.-It looks like state
convention today, and the arrival Of the
Tamnany delegation has dono moro to
. bring into view old convention faces than
anything that has happened.
From the time that Mr.. Hinkley arrived
and announced that the selections of El-
liot Danforth, the Now York member OF
the Bryan and Sewall notification COM
nittee, for state chairman and Frank S.
Campbell for national committeeman,
were favorable to Mr.. Hill, until late last
night when this news was confirmed,
there has been conflict among the as
sembled delegates, and IL food OF gossip
that led up to the belief that there would
be serious friction 1t ends by the with
drawal of Mayor Molloy from tho contest
for state committeo chairman and tho in
dorscment of Mr.. Campbell for the office
OF national committeeman, an ending
that to everybody mind signifies COM
promise with Senator Hill in order to keep
together the state organization, and u
withdrawal of Senator Murphy's candi-
date in the interest of harmony.
The changes in the program during the
AFTERNOON and evening and after the ar
rival of the majority of tho delegates was
not many. 1t was said that In addition
to consulting Senator Hill as to the make
up OF the state organization leaders Ber-
nard Yarka, of Kings county, had stopped
at the senator's residence, and after con-
sultation had decided that the proper per-
son for Kings county to place in nomlna-
ton for lieutenant governor to combat tho
Republican candidacy of Timothy i.
Woodruff was General Isaac Cntlin, of
Brooklyn. This left out of all consdera-
ton Ridgeway, Mcclellan and others, and
it did not take long for those people to an
nounco that they were not candidates.
The very sudden turning down of the
lieutenant governor candidates put tho
Albany boomers of Mr. John Boyd
Thatcher in Il rather unenviable frame of
mind. They were nervous and distressed,
although nearly all of the Tammany dele.
gates wore badges with Thacher's name
upon it. But there was little apparent
cause for this nervousness, for thore was
no other name mentioned for the nomina.
tlOli lIllS morning
The ticket, therefore, as it stands So
lected today Is rs follows For governor,
John Boyd Thacher of Albany; lieutenant
governor, General Isaac Catlin of Brook
lyn; chairman of the state committee
(vice Major James w. Hinkley, rctired),
Elliott Danforth of Chenango county;
national committeeman (vice William F.
Sheehan reslgnod), Frank Campbell Of
Bath; temporary chairman, Thomas II.
Grady Of New York; permanent chairman.
B. II. Rockwell of Chemung.
The platform will indorse the Chicago
national ticket and platform, will arraign
the last Republican legislature as tho
most extravagant in the history of the
state, will say that the Raines liquor law
was merely for the creation Of a vast Ra-
publican machine and to assist in reduce
ing at the expense of class the tag rate
of the state which would otherwise have
been the largest in the history Of ths state,
and among other things, advocate the
adoption Of more stringent laws regarding
trusts.
