 RACE AT SARATOGA.

Saratoga, N. Y, Sept 21.-With the opening of a beautiful, crisp, almost cloudless autumn day the leaders again faced the situation with regard to the democratic nomination for governor. after conference which broke up about 2 o'clock this morning without having reached an agreement
 The nomination of Comptroller 1fout, which was accepted by the ma Jority of the crowd about the Grand Union hotel last night as practically certainty, was shown by daylight to be anything but certain, although he was, at 10 a. m., still the candidate most spoken of The Shepard people were working diligently to secure delegates. and at 9:30 claimed that they had enough to bring about the nomination of MT Shepard in open convention.
 All the morning the conferences continued, although there was no gen. eral one convened up to 10 o'clock. MT Sheehan had several talks with Sena- tor Hill, while Victor Bowling and MT McCarren both conferred with MT Sheehan. Undoubtedly the influence of the latter is carrying great weight and he is striving for the avoidance of any bitter personal fight on the floor of the convention. Mayor Osborn of Auburn, who will nominate MT Shep- ard, is full of confidence.
 W. Bourke Cochran will second the nomination of Edward M. Shepard, and Judge Watson Lamont of Scho- hanie county will place George M. Palmer in nomination. Some of the western county delegates are to place Mayor George B. Mcclellan in nom1na- tion for governor.
 The Kings county delegation, lack ing the twelve Doyle delegates, held a conference this forenoon and voted to carry the name of MT Grout into the convention. It was left to Senator McCarren's judgment to deliver the strength of the delegation as develop ! ments might require
 It was said just before the conven- ton that the Doyle delegates would vote with Tammany Hall At the same time 1t was believed that MT Shepard would have the support of Tammany.
 By agreement of the leaders of the democratic party Supreme Court Justice D. Cady Herrick of Albany was chosen as the candidate for gov sernor to head the democratic state ticket after a conference beginning just before midnight last night and carried on up almost to the time Of the presentation of his name to the convention. The leaders who had been in conference went at once to the convention hall where MT Shee- han announced that Congressman F. Burton Harrison would have the second place on the ticket.
 David B. Hill took the platform when the time for nominations came and received a great ovation as he placed Herrick before the convention. His nomination was seconded by Bourke Cochran and Luke Stapletan of Brooklyn. The secretary cast one ballot for the nomination of MT Her rick.
 At 2:30 1t seemed likely that the rest of the ticket would be as follows Secretary of state, John Palace of Monroe, now member of the assem- bly,; attorney general, John Cuneen of Erie, the present incumbent; comp troller, George Hall of St Lawrence, now mayor of Ogdensburg; state treasurer, A. A. Mclean of Newhurg; engineer and surveyor, Thomas H. Stryker of Rome; chief judge of the court of appeals, Edgar M. Cullen of Kings; assistant judge of the court of appeals, William E.
