Saratoga. Sept. M.-AU the friends
ef the men with booms, .md all the oth
ers who object to William .T. Gaynor ns
a candidate for governor are uniting iu
an effort to defeat his nomination No
one man Is being urged for the place
against him.
The scheme is to undermine his posi
tion and then scramble for toe noralj
nation. The Tammauyues and nviny
others prefer any man to Gaynor, and
his well known independence of ma
chine dictation is not acceptable
them. They are leaving no stone un-
turned to accomplish his defeat. Judge
Gaynor has the support of many Dem
ocrats who are wise euough to see that
a machine man is not the man to win,
nnd that a man who lias strength out
side of Uls parry is ueoueu.
Tin; whole situation has bceu thor
oughly canvassed by Senator Hill mid
the party leaders and they have de
rided that Gaynor is tlio man. Whether
the.r selection can withstand the com
bined attacks of tlio dissatisfled from
now until nominations are made, is a
question.
It is conceded that the Republicans
prefer to see some other man nomi
nated by the Denocats and that they
are doing what .hey can to ln lp in de
throning Judge Gaynor. The friends of
the latter assert, however, that all these
attack* upon ids private life will react
In his favor, as every charge can be
met and he can be shown to bavc noted
the part of an honorable tnnu.
ft is practically settled that David
B. Hill will be the temporary chairman
and he may be continued as permanent
chairman, although there is talk of se
lecting a Cleveland Democrat for the
latter position.
The committee of ritlreog bonded by
Caleb Mitchell, presldnt of the village
trustees, had a long and heated ('.in
ference with Dr. Edward Everutt Hale
nnd n dozen representatives of lue
Unitarians this morning, the town au
thorities asking tho Unitarians to re-
ii-nfinish their prior claim to tho con
vention hall, so the Democrats can
meet there. Mayor Gilroy, Uotirko
Cockrtn uinl other Democrats were
present when the meeting 1 Kigali. They,
however, withdraw after statlug that
they had arranged wltn the town au
thorities for the hall weeks ago, nnd
the dispute was for them to settle.
The townspeople told tSs Unitarians
that no attempt was being made to
liriffik faith with them aiid acknowl
edged their prior engagement of the
* hall. They asked the Unitarians to
give way to the Democrats nnd hold
their conference in the Presbyterian
church, which they offend for the
purpose.
They pointed out that the church was
large enough for tho Unitarian*, but
that nothing bnt convention hull would
accommodate the Democratic conven
tion. It wu* also made clear that spe
cial press facilities, including about
twenty wln-s and tables for one hun
dred correspondent* have been provldisl
in convention hall, while any other
place tbnt could Ik* used is without
wires nnd press facilities.
The Unitarian* refused to yUdd. They
finally made a proposition offering the
Democrats the use of convention Ictil
Tuesday afternoon for tlielr prelimi
nary organization and offered to ml>-
serrhe $100 towanls lilting up any
other hall for the Democrats. The pro
prietors of the United Ktltcs hotel, who
arc blamed by the townspeople for put
ting them In th-s dilemma, offered to
sutiscrlbe another $100.
These subscription propositions drew
from some of the Democratic politicians
the sarcastic remark ihst "thoee people
must think we need money." *nie tint,
tartan people compromised. They will
give up the hall .omorrow from 12 noon,
until * o'clock In the afternoon, or.
Wruiimslav «t 11 o'clock, the Democrats
will convene at the old Casino, where
Governor Flower was nomine Hat and tin-
t«h who* butr.osn remains. The refanl
of the Unitarians to accept the offer of s
church made them will cause the rreateet
confusion. The newspaper* nnd press as
sociations will mi (Ter much by tills, a there
are no wire* ut the Casino.
The committee en credential* ire prom.
Ised a heavy Job with the contest*. There
half a doaen from other part* of the .date

With Gaynor out of the way. hope re.
Vlved In the breast, of other aspirants,
nnd the talk of Whitney Increased, but
only the action of Hi. convention or acme
new move upon the political checkerboard
tomorrow will determinate who Is to be
the opponent of Levi i* .Mortoa.
For lieutenant governor, e
John L. Llnncn of Kingston is moat prom,
tnent, and there la talk of a Buffalo men,
Hpencer Clinton or Judge Tltus, for Judge
of the court of appeals.
The convention will congratulate the
country on the retom'ng prosperity fol
lowing the rcpesl of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman law and the repeal of
the McKinley tariff law. It will com-
meud those features of the new tariff
law which acres with the Democratic
principles of free raw material*, and In
c measure voice the sentiment, express* 1
by President Cleveland to Congressman
W2S08 while the tiriff WU wa* in tourer-
c nee.
It Til' deprecate any further general
revision of the tariff, out will advocate
the peonage of separate Mils for the cor
rection ot certain schedulra. it wall en
dorse President Cleveland's ndmb-IMra-
tlon as cot-ducivs to the best interests of
the coun'ry. The Income tea provision
of the new tariff bill will bo condemned.
The platform will also likely contain a
plank deprecating the ea|st«nce of or
ganisation* having for their object the de.
feat for political preferment of candidates
on account of ran or reUgtoa.

In another article discussing the w ir,
the Times oalcutaitaa that the Japanese
will certainty rtsiuh vvt-Ju from

they wilt meet the Chinese kr-oopn that
wore (landed on She Corean bank of ‘.he
Yulu river by Admiral Ting. “It to not
clear." the Times adds, “wheether the
Chinese transports had time to disem
bark thcJr stores. At aity rate the con
dition of the Chinese column must be
precarious, and there seems 'to be noth
ing tto pravent a Japanese squadron
from revtedSne the mourtto at the Yalu
nnd destroying any Chinese -transports
that remain in there. Further, it would
be easy for the Japanese to move
troopaby sea from -Ping-Yang to the
Yalu and to shift their base of opera
tions further, -north, thuu supplying re-
enforocements to 'the column marohing
northward from Pln,g-Yang. This Is nl-
most censidn to -be done if the advance
