Aug. TL fSpeciaL It loots like Saratoga Sept 15 or 16. It looks like Flower and Sheehan. Such are the indication regarding the time and place for the Democratic State convention and the ticket it will bring forth. Signs of political activity abounded in and about the Hoffman House today.

From morning till night the members of the Democratic State Committee were arriving. The committee meets tomorrow at 11 o'clock. It won't take long to issue a call for the convention. Down in their hearts nine out of ten of the thirty-four members are in favor of Saratoga. Its fine hotels, its bracing air, and other things have great attractions.

As to the State ticket there was a general feeling among the members that Flower would have no real opposition for the gubernatorial nomination." This has been almost a foregone conclusion since spring. Nevertheless it is funny. For years Mr. Flower has been trying to get the nomination without the ghost of a chance. He was cajoled by the leaders of both factions, bled and dumped over and over again.

Now he has both factions. This is not due to superior talent or to any abiding strength as a politician. The nomination of Flower is simply a party necessity. Neither side is enthusiastic over his candidacy, yet both will stand by him willingly -to the end. Democrats generalty believe that Flower will carry the State by a large majority.

Speaker Sheehan says by 70,000. But Sheehan expwota to ride in the same wagon and his predictions may be overenthusiastic. At the same time "Ed" Murphy, who will drive the wagon and who never loses his head, says Sheehan may not be far out of the way. Every Democrat talked with, and they were from all over the State, felt that it was simply a question tui fall of the size of the Democratic majority.

Such a condition of affairs undoubtedly makes Gov. Hill anxious to try it a third time himself. But it is too late now.

Mr. Einstein has been a Member of Congress, is a member of the Union League, and has a strong following among the business-men of the city.

A HITCH IN THE PROCEEDINGS. rown's Indorsement Deferred Pointed Remarks for Senator Gorman's Benefit. Baltimore, ML, Aug. 11. Special.

The State Farmers Alliance, which met here today aud was expected to unanimously indorse Frank Brown, the Democratic nominee for Governor, had a lively time over the attempt of politicians to eontrol it. There was a fight i'- of the Anne Arundel County delegation. Prof. Samuel Gomer, teacher of Fit nth in the United States Naval Acuueuiy, and Editor W. S.

Ridizley ef Annapolis objected to their charging that a Suballiancc in the- couuty which helped to select the delegates had been illegally organized. It wtis charged that John Bohlman and Gen. Frank Bond, ading Democrats in the county, had got the Chief Organizer drunk and in that condition had induced him to organize a suballianee. There was a bitter wrangle in the convention over these charges, and this evening the Committee on Credentials threw out the entire Anne Arundel County delegation. Although it is believed a majority of the convention is in favor of indorsing Brown's nomination, the trouble over the Anne Arundel County delegation put the convention in a bad humor with the Democratic party, and when a Cecil County delegate this evening offered a resolution that the convention indorse Brown several delegates objected, saving he had never declared himself for Alliance principles.

Finally the matter was K. jitvd to the Committee on Resolutions, but the convention will indorse Brown tomorrow, senator Gorman cannot dictate to us." a ne seventeen actual loans made in seventeen different States did not amount to over $14,000. That is the total properly expended out of the loan fund of $86,000 shown on the books, excepting the $4,830 tied up by Judae around Coquimbo. Heavy fighting ensued the 9th and the government troops are re music. He said iinbinstein bad once told Tuesday next.

His object in writing the letter was to show that he had the right to import skilled hands, and the Treasury Department had nothing to do with it. He never asked the Treasury Department for a ruling on the question, but merely for information as to the routiue to be compled with. He never doubted his right. He will need GOO hands all told in his tinplate works, and will import sixty ef these.

In reality with 10 per cent of imported labor a new industry is started which gives employment at higher wages to 90 per cent of American workmen.
