SARATOGA. Sept 19.-Everything is ready
for the Democratic State convention,
which Is to assemble tomorrow. II Is
ready in the sense that the Democrats, as
usual, are pulling and hauling, and ono
can almost hear their brains rumble as they
tear down this candidate for Governor and
elevate that candidate and 60 on to thump
and hammer In the most approved Demo-
cratic fashion. The village filed up to-day
with Democrats from every county In the
State.
The Tammany Indians arrived on their
special trains and paraded the elm lined
streets Of this beautiful village, headed by
blaring bands. The Tammany chieftain,
Charles F. Murphy, has cottage ct the
Grand Union, and this evening the Tam
many bands serenaded him, and later on
the bands at the head Of country delegations
awoke the echoes in honor Of Tammany's
chieftain. Mingled with the melodies Of
the band were cheers for Murphy and de-
mands for speech. Mr.. Murphy; however,
Is more sphinxlike than either Richard
Croker or John F. Carroll. In its truest
sense Murphy seems to understand that
silence Is golden. He has been b ,set from
the hour Of his arrival for his views on the
situation, and to every mothers son OF .
visitor he has had but one answer to make.
1t was all summed up in these words:
-Tammany has no candidate for Gov
ernor to present to this convention, and
will not present any candidate to the con-
vention.'
That is all that Mr.. Murphy cared to say,
although some Of his friends said that II q
test came in the convention Tammany
would have at its back 100 OF the $50 dele
gates. This would include the l05 delegates
from New York county and SIS delegates
from other counties in the State, some Of
them from Erie
COUNTRY DELEGATES LIKE MCMILLAN.
IT. should be remarked while speaking
of the presence OF Tammany here that
scores Of delegates from the up-country
districts declare that they would be tiokled
if Mayor George B. Mcclellan Of New York
city could be nominated for Governor.
AL sorts Of happy things were said Of Mayor
Mcclellan. These country Democrats were

was made by Mr.. Murphy that Tammany
had no candidate for Governor to present
and would not present any candidate for
Governor In the convention The country
delegates said that they would like to nomi-
nate Mayor Mcclellan for Governor BE-
cause Of his great strength as young
Democrat and as an orator and that he
would get tremendous welcome all over
the State. 1t was learned, though, that
the exigencies Of the situation, political
parlance not quite understood. OF, rather,
not accepted, by laymen, preclude the noui-
nation of Mayor Mcclellan at this Tina.
The country delegates in speaking UP for
Mayor Mcclellan said they hoped 70 live
to see him Governor OF the State and Presi-
dent Of the United States.
END OF UPSTATE PEUD AoAINsT rAAzAANY.
All this Is recorded for the purpose Of
an entirely new situation
in the Democratic party Of the State. For
many years there has been almost o bitter
feud between the country Democrats aud
the Tammany Democrats, and much, II
not all, Of this fractional disturbance has
been the work. it Is declared, Of David B.
Hill, whose supremacy as Democratic
leader Of the State could not be efectaaIly
threatened 80 long as he could inject this
factional feud between the country Demo-
Gratis and Tammany. The Democratic from
the country districts, though, said to-day
that they had had enough Of this feud.
that they would no longer stand 1t, that
1t was fool politics and selfish politics and
that the only net result Of 1t was Republican
victories through the State, which have
eliminated In Odellsm.
HILL TALKS srANoHFIHLp.
Mr.. Hill arrived here to-day and put UP
at the Grand Union. He has talked with
all sorts and conditions Of Democrats. both
from the city and the country districts.
To them he has recounted the factional
story OF John B. stAnohfeld's strength a.
q candidate for Governor. Mr.. Hill has
tdlkeO uoLch SlutIoub
dialects, but the country delegates have
listened with Indifferent ears. They have
been taught to believe that the nomination
Of Stanchield would mean defeat from the
start. So acute did this Stanchfield talk
become to-day on the part of Mr.. Hill that
John n. Carlisle, secretary Of the Demo-
cratic State committee. and Elliot Danforth,
former chairman Of that committee, plainly
told Mr.. Hill that their delegates were not
Tor Stanchfeld. that they themselves were
not for Stanchfeld and that all that this
convention had to do to court defeat was
10 nominate Stanchfeld. Stanchfield d out
Of the running. He will not be nominated.
Mr. Hill, unlike Governor-C Chairman Odell,
will not nominate Stanchfield by main
strength.
SHALL CULLEN AND WERNER BE ISDoRsRp1
Mr.. Hill didn't like to hear the views
about Stanchfeld and the delegates also
it into him on another subject
Mr. Hill has been sternly opposed to the
or rather the Endorsement, by
this convention OF Edgar NJ Cullen for
Chief Judge Of the Court Of Appeals and OF
William E. Werner for Associate Judge OF
