Y„ Sept. 25.- -Not for many years has the political . situa tion in this state been as complicated as it is now, and with the democratic state convention meeting here to-day and the republican state convention in Saratoga, there is every reason to be lieve that history will be made to-dav. Buffalo is crowded with visitors from all parts of the state to-day. They began to arrive yesterday and ail morning every train arriving here brought large delegations from every direction. The largest delegations, of course, came from the counties pm posing Greater New York an I from a tV.v counties containing largo cities. The Nt w York delegations did not come in a body, but arrived in sev oral installments and quietly want to their respective headquarters. Poli tics is at white iieat and lie ex pectancy concerning the outcome u the democratic convention, which met at noon at Convention Hall, is in tense. Nothing has been divulged autlioi tatively concerning the result of last night’s conference of the democratic stale central committee at the Iro quois Hotel, and the general impres sion is that no compromise was a> cnmplished amKthat the whole prob lem will have Jto ire solved in the convention, whore the great battia royal between jllie radical element, favoring Hearst! and the conservative element, supporting Jerome, will b fought oat. I The 'Conventilm was culled to order by Chairman Cjird Meyer, of the slate central coiumia.ee, and after t,be offi cial call had ien a read, the conven tion proeeededl to the selection of the usual committees for credentials, per manent organisations, etc. After tne usual routine limitless had been trans acted, the convention took a recess until two o’click, when the real tug of war liegaiJ The situaii n may be briefly sum med up as blows: AiUiough ther has been soi e talk of several: other candidates lor the gubernatorial nomination, t is generally admitted that there a is only two bona lide as pirants for t e nomination before tip convention, Hearst and Jerome., Heargt, who has already been nomi nated for go eruor on the Independ ence League ticket, represents the radical (lenient in tiie paity and lias a strong following. Not only has part of Tammany yiull declared in his favor, hut many couniy delegations are either instructed to vote for him or a/e known to favor his nomination. The Hearst ruen are bitterly opposed by the conservative element, which is particularly strong in the interior towns and country districts. Although lnot\ many of ihe delegates' are in let n/pted outright to vote for Mr. ilerome, it is well understood that, ho iVill have the support of the conserva tive element, which does not consider Hliarst a safe man to be at the head of \ r ne state ticket. not! a whit less compact than that of tne Odell( forces, and, unless Govemo* Hidkofl mould pass the word, Hughe wo'dit noV get many, if any of tho Higgilis vdries.
