The Ticket and Resolutions.

OF the ticket There seems TO be much difficulty
in selecting . candidate for Controller. Among
the new names talked Of this morning arc Mesrs
BbATCHFoRD and WM. A. WHEELER.
Judge WOODRUFF is strongly pressed for the
Judge of the Court Of Appeals, and will probably
get the place unless Mr.. Blatchford is nominated
for Controller.
think that Lieut. Gov. SELDEN will be At!or.
ney General, and that Mr.. PHILIP DORsHEIMER
will be State Treasurer.
Beyond this all is uncertain The Committee on
Permanent Organization have had fourteen names
presented for President, among which are those Of
Messrs. FENTON, SPINNER, w. A. WHEELER. and
NyE. The ticket will probably be Republican
"pure and simple"

Root Of Herkiner
On the three previous ballots Isaac " Baker of
Washington was candidate. Then the Conven-
ton voted to choose between the highest two This
was the first attempt to break the slate but it did
not succeed.
The Slate Committee consented that the Con-
veDtiOn should select candidate for Prison H.
spector and the Convention is now voting for such
erection may result.
No less than ten candidates have been put on
the track, of whom five are from the City of New
York Alex. S. Diven is on the slate for Judge
of Appeals, and j. Stanton Gould of Colombia for
Clerk
So far there has been no serious opposition to
the candidates nominated except on Canal Com
missioner, and it is now presumed that the Con-
vention will conclude its business to night.
Leroy D. Morgan of Syracuse was to-day nom.
place of Judge Pratt. Mr.. MorgaLs chief oppo-
nent was Judge Shankland, formerly Of the Sixth
District.
n:lO D. m.-Tbe Convention have nominated
DAVID z. FOREST of Schenectady, formerly
Wing, for Prison Inspector, and are about to pro
coed to the choice of Judge of the Court Of
Appeals.
Mr.. Birdseye has nominated Judge Woodruff;
Mr.. Dayton, Judge Davies, whose nomination he
advocated in brief and forcble speech. Mr..
Diyen has also been nominated. The New York
delegation are strenuous for the nomination OF
Judge, but are not agreed as to the man, and the
result of the contest seems to be doubtful. Gen.
Nye is now making speech for Judge Davies, and
it is likely that many more msy be made before the
vote is taken.
