New.York Politics In 1919.

majority of that portion of the Members OF |
our late Legislature who claim to be more Demo
cratic than their neg bors united, before ADJOURN
men,, in an Address, which recognizes the Van
Buren, section as the true Democracy, aud calls
State Nominating Convention to meet at inca
on the l2th Of next September, for the nomination
of candidates to flthe State Offices falling vacant
during or before next Winter. The minority or |
Hanker section issued a mild counter Address
Affirming the orthodoxy Of the Cass and Croswe ell
school OF Democracy, but calling no Convention
1t was for time suggested that this section might |
quietly acquiesce IN the call Aforesaid elect Dele
yates TO U,ies, agree on a compromise ticket and
tnss heal the feud Of the last three years But
mi. expectatton has Rossbeen realized. IL was
sssily seen that scquesceuce Ia the State call oil
The Bsrnburners tactly admitted the Legitimacy
Of their local organic atoms well, and that Coun-
~ mr. District Conventions called by the well
Known Van Buren, Committees would maniies'ly
elect a majority of Buffalo Delegates, 50 as to
insure to the Barnburners ell they might see lit to
take in the formation OF State Ticket. and "hs'
is Of far more Importance, in the choice OF state
Committee for the farther guidance OF the party
movements. The bunker State Committee has
therefore been impelled TO call separate STATE
Convention, which Is to assemble at Syracuse on
the 3h Of September, or one week before the
gathering at Utica. The rival factions are thus
summoned again to the field, under auspices
which render certain the overwhelming defeat OF
both.
In view Of this prospect, large portion OF the
moderate partisans embodied in either hostile
array begin to murmur at this protrscted ieud
which seems to subserve no purpose but their
mutual defeat and humiliation. Some OF these
have suggested an informal gathering prior to
either OF the days above named OF those IN each
adverse host who are sincerely favorable 10 ire
Cancellation on fair terms, to consult and devise n
plan Of operations. Such gathering II iniiden'
italy attended, might establish basis and mature
q plan Of reunion. and informally recommend =
compromise State Ticket composed OF uneS
cep,ionable men chosen in equal measure from
the two sections respectively The moral weight
of this movemen mt, the obvious advantages prom
ised BY its acceptance, and the mutual hunsuness
of all concerned tor victory and Office, would, 1t Is
tbousht. constrain the rival Conventions on as

there is no personal i-feeling against the prese"

party lines hardly well defined. The new Na'onS
Administration has as yet developed no hoe
policy, afforded no protext for opposition Hnies
by its appointments; and though some OF thes'
might have been better. its sdversaries care htt
or nothing for that while the displacement OF IN
late ineumhents is regarded with very genera

Gen. Taylor is regarded with general good 'een1

comparatively small. IL will take a new Nol
