NEW YORK DEMOCRATS
 GETTING TOGETHER

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-With the state conventions scarcely more than two weeks of and the dawn of what will be one of the most important and spectacular campaigns ever wag- ed in the state practically at hand, both the regular parties are facing conditions as perplexing as they are unique.
 The republican party managers, doubtful of their ability to win the election, are given no consideration 10 candidates for governor. They are concerned solely over the question whether the party is to be ruled by them or by the Lion Hunter.
 The democrats, confident of vic tory, are up in the air because Mayor Gaynor declines to tell wheth- CT he will accept or reject a nomina- tion for governor That he can have it for less than the asking is quite generally conceded.
 The republicans will hold their convention at Saratoga on Septeui- Der 27. The democrats will hold their convention at Rochester two days later The former will see a genuine old fashioned political TOW between Mir. Roosevelt and the men who now contraol the party in the state 'he latter unless Mayor Gaynor consents to be the nominee will witness a fight at which at least nine candidates for the nomina. ton for governor will participate.
 Leaders of both parties are fully alive to the importance of the situ. ation They realize also that the na tional party rulers are watching the Empire state contest with keenest interest because of the important and perhaps vital bearing it may have on the coming presidential election.
 The republican party managers de, clare they have no candidate for gov. ernor Their actions indicate that
  tation of winning unless the demo. crats become involved in a family quarrel, and the democrats are at present embracing one another when ever they meet and wearing olive branches in their caps and button holes, the republican managers feel that it may be wise for them to lei some one else assume the responsi bility of naming the ticket this fall
 At least nine candidates for the democratic nomination for governor are in the field. Some of them art there with bells on, but they are all waiting and hoping. All are tempo rarily, at least, left high and dr! by the silence Of Mayor Gaynor What he will do appears to be quite as much of puzzle to Charles F Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall as to the candidates. There is 1; strong belief that the puzzle will no be solved until the convention | held.
 Some prominent democratic leader firmly believe that the mayor vii accept. Others put forth convincini arguments that he will not. All ad nit they have no actual information Practically all agree that if tn mayor merely indicates that he vii be the standard bearer the nomina ton will be given to him almos without opposition-and probably b a rising and unanimous vote.
 The last week saw important gatt erings of party managers from bot examinations. The democrats had
 bye feast at the hotel Knickerboci CT and 1t was one of the most nots ble gatherings of it's kind in recen years. Persons who have tough each other bitterly in previous year ate and drank together and prom ised to work in harmony and peace Republicans from various parts the state came here to confer wit William Barnes. IT., and Timoth Woodruff to perfect plans for COT trolling the state convention Thu the democrats appear to be gettin together while the republicans ar drifting apar.
