r THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURO, PA. CONVENTION OPENS. Democrats Prepare to Nomi nate State Ticket. STANCI1FIELD WILL PROBABLY LEAD. IMMIIIam F. Mucker Mar Accept lea anil I'lapp Hill Itrlermlaed to Place t'oler'a Kaiae Oefara the Aiitmblngt, SARATOGA, fept. 12. John B. Ctanchlicld will be nominated for gov ernor by the Democratic state conven tion, and bis name will be prevented to (be convention by Judge 8. B. Taylor of Cbemtinj;. Hon. William F. Mnckey of Erie has been offered second place upon the ticket and has agreed to tjlve nn answer as to whether he will accept before the con tention again assembles. Mr. Mnckey will acceiit, and the head of the state ticket will be Ntnnchfield and Mnckey. This fact ta definitely known. Other places upon the ticket are not so certain and probably will not be definitely de termined until tomorrow. This, however. Is the ticket which aeems most probable of final acceptance: For Governor John H. fcitnnchtitdd of Chemung. For Lieutenant Governor William F. Mackey of Erie. For Secretary of State John T. Nor ton of Rensselaer. For Comptroller Edwin A. Atwnter of Dutchess. For Attorney General George M. Palmer of Schoharie. For Treasurer Guy It. Clarke of Mod iron. For Engineer and Surveyor Ilussell A. Stewart of Onondaga. Only an absolute breach of faith can prevent the selection of the two at the head of this ticket, and only the per sistent claims of up state leaders will pset the completed ticket. This seems Improbable, as the candidates nre nd alrthly distributed as to geographical conditioim tiud probably ns uniformly satisfactory to all factions as could be Mined. While many names have been tuggested as available candidates the generally unsettled conditions have pre vented the appearance of any avowed as pirants for nomination. Despite the absolute hopelessness of the prospect Mr. Hill ia still determined to present the name of Mr. Colcr to the eenvcwtlon, and in order that the nomi nation shall come from his own county Otto Kempner of Kings is understood to have been prevniled upon to make the jamlnating speech. Senator Hill, it is expected, will make JOIIN B. 8TANCHFIELD. speech seconding the nomination. This expectation seems to be very much veri fied from the fact that when a delega tion called upon him to serenade him and demanded a speech he appeared and aaked to be excused, but promised that he would be in the convention today and tfcoae present would be given a chance to hear him. Beaten at every stage in the eamratttee and In the preliminary tkir aaisheg and with a hopeless prospect in the convention, Mr. Hill still greets his fiiends smilingly, and this situation has ted many to believe that the shrewd pelitician hat a view beyond the dura tion of the convention and that his real conflict is in prospect in the mayoralty campaign in Greater New York next jear. Bo far ai surface Indications appear the present situation ia as it has been daring the past 48 hours. The proceed ing beyond the eruption caused by the presentation of the anti-ice trust resolu tion by Professor Duncan C. Lee of Cor nell have been insignificant. The committee on credentials hat giv en exhaustive bearings to the different contestants, and the subcommittee on platform has rend the prepared drafts of the platform. Neither has reuched a con clusion, and all is in abeyance. A brief thower did not dampen the enthusiasm uf the delegates. Broadway was ablar.e with the glare of Chinese lunterns which were arched over and across the street and along the sides, while the uir rever berated with the strains of music as the bands parmled with the long procession of marching clubs from New York, Al bany, Troy, Syracuse, Buffulo uud other cities. During all of this a blaze of greek fire added luster to the scene, and ihousanda of tin horns gave vent to the enthusiasm of the spectators. The convention was first cnlled to order yesterday morning. The hnll was filled to overflowing. Chairman Frank Camp hell stated thnt he had been directed by the state committee to present the nnme f Hon. Patrick E. McCarren of Kins m temporary chairman of the conven :ion. This selection was quickly ratified, ind Elliot Danforth und Norman E. Mack were appointed to escort him to the chnlr. At this time It was noticeable .hat Senntor David It. Hill was not in he ball, and it was recalled thnt Mr. Hill lid not attend the opening session of the Kansas City convention, and his absenie caused little comment. It was also a matter of comment that the convention was opened without prayer, Chairman Campbell merely announcing the selec tion of Senator McCarren as temporary presiding officer and Charles It. De Freest, John A. Mason and Calvin J. Hudson at temporary secretaries. At Messrs. Danforth und Mack rencb ed Senator McCarren't seat he arose to greet then and was hailed with cheers.

When he gets on "the stump" and out of reach of Han na's voice he cuts loose and makes the fur fly. At Minneapolis & few weeks ago he spoke an hour, and Hanna was occupied two weeks In apologizing to one element and explaining to another. He made another speech in Saratoga the other day equally as rank. In that he declared that "every vote not cast for McKlnley Is a vote for repudiation and disorder." Hanna will be obliged to put him under discipline again. The New York Journal summarizes one of Mr. Roosevelt's speeches as follows, and as they" are all alike the summary will do for either of them We can lick anybody. I can lick anybody.
