Whitney Can Get the Nomi¬ nation If He Saye the Word, Even If Da¬ vid Dennett Would, Not Uko to Soo Him Named—They are Waiting for Whltuey’e Speech. Saratoga, Sept. 85.— The convention day opened with dark elouds on the horizon and a suspicion of dark horses in the air. The son soon drove the dark elouds away and the Democrats took that to indicate the clearing of the political atmosphere. The collapse of the Gaynor boom revived all other booms which have been struggling along bravely for the past few days. Albanians have shouted John Boyd Thatcher until hoarse; Democrats from central cities declared Frederick Cook the man; machine Democrats from Erie and Tammany again talked for David B. Hill as the man to save the party from defeat and the Cleveland Demo¬ cratic reformers, silk stockings, and even many of the oldtime machinists revived the talk of William C. Whitney for governor.' It is pretty well understood that Hill does if it not want Whitney Whitney nominated, but was certain that would accept, there would be a stampede in his direction. The uncertainty of his position hangs over the convention and may keep the outcome in doubt until the Majestic arrives and Mr. Whitney speaks. Senator Murphy called the Democrat¬ ic state convention to order at 1:12 p.m. Senator Murphy named David B. Hill as the choice of the committee for tem¬ porary chairman. Senator Hill’s name was received with cheers. Mayor Gilroy of New York, and Con¬ gressman Lockwood of Buffalo, were named as a committee to escort Senator Hill to the chair. He was received with prolonged cheering. Connecticut Democrat*. New Haven, Sept. 25.—At 10:30, the Hyperion theatre was well filled with delegates to the state Democratic con¬ vention in the orchestra, and about 800 spectators in the galleries. Clinton B.

Gunn, of Milford, temporary chairman. Gunn, on taking which the chair, made an address, after Chairman Flowler, of the committee on creden¬ tials, made a report which was unani¬ mously adopted. The committee on a permanent chairman and a number of vice presidents was selected. The con¬ vention then took recess. McKinley Spoka In Indianapolis.

London, Sept. 25.— European bourses are affected by the news of the czar’s health, as he is now recognized as one of the strongest supporters of peace and, it is feared in the event of his death, his successor would seize the opportu¬ nity to secure the naval ports cm tne pa¬ cific and enlarge his boundaries in the direction of Pamirs at the expense of China; either of which steps, it is be¬ lieved, dispatch would easily precipitate war.
