Saratoga y Y, Sept. 1O.-The situation here to-
night recalls that of two years ago. at Syracuse,
when on the night before the nominating conven-
ton John B. Stanchfeld Mayor MCGUIRE Elliot
Danforth and several others were permitted TO
| main in the field candidates for the gubernato-
| rial nomination, until the last moment each with
the assurance that the convention would select him
as the candidate At O'Clock in the morning.

| mentioned brought forward as the choice OF
the majority of the leaders, and he was nominated
| a few hours later.
The same men who controlled the situation at
| that time in control here tonight. Richard
! Croker. Edward Murphy and James Shevlin, and
there is general feeling prevailing that the situa-
! ton which developed at Syracuse may turn to

Campbell, will invited take part in the selec-
ton Of the candidates Of this convention.
| The suspicion that the situation outlined above
will result is not founded upon lack OF enthusiasm
among delegates controlled by the Croker-Murphy
| Shevline combine over the alleged candidacy Of
| John B. Stanchneld- His name is as prominently
used tonight IN the last two days, and II Is
asserted that he is TO be the nominee of these ma

are many who say that there IS possibility Of an

Mackey will undoubtedly have lnnuehSS upon 5lie
leaders in selecting candidate Mr. Mackey also
has the assurance of Mr. Cookers personal prefer

Outside OF these statements from headquarters. a
notable feature of the day Is the announcement
that the platform has been completed and that the
permanent chairman, in the person Of George
Rafnes of Monroe has been decided without the
assistance Of those up State Democrats who owe
allegiance 10 Senator Hill Mr.. Raines's selection

LABOR MEN WANT REPRESENTATION
Yielding to this labor sentiment which has been
most insistently advanced. Mr.. Mcclure summoned
here to-day representatives OF the labor organiza-
tons to request them to a candidate for a
place upon the ticket Thomas / Fitzgerald for

Legislative Committee of the Federation responded.
To the suggestion that they present the name OF

nounced their readiness to do so condi-
tons formed which would make this feasible They
did present any Mr. Mcguire, but IL is
known that they have in mind an Erie County man
who is a delegate TO the Convention and firm
supporter of Senator Mackey. 1t would therefore
be inexpedient TO advance him candidate until
