WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

A NEW YORK POLITICAL QUEsTIoN-As the
time for choosing delegates to the Charleston
Convention approaches, the New YORK Dem
ocratic newspapers arc discussing the question
how shall the delegates from the Empire
State he cbo.en2 Up to this time they have
been selected by the usual Democratic State
conye,,;op Now. as before, those known ~
Softs favor their choice by the State conven-
ton. while the Hards, as before, demand their
selection by district convcntions-the delegates
for the State at large only to be chosen by tho
State convention. So far as the power Of the
State in the National Convention is concerned.
the plan of the Softs is of course more desirable
as, under it, the delegates necessarily act uni
tedly, throwing New York's thirty-six votes
unitedly on every division. The Hards are for
the district mode of choosing the delegates, be-
cause well aware that now, as heretofore, they
will be in minority in State convention. and,
as consequence, their interests Gf they are
chosen by State convention) will not be repre-
sented by single delegate at Charleston; the
majority always choosing the delegates from
its own wing exclusively.
The Atlas anil Argus, the central albany
organ of the controlling wing Of the New York
Democracy, is the chief newspaper advocate
for adherence to the old system; while the New
York city NeicS and half a dozen country
weeklies are vociferOus for the proposed
change. Judging from the past the Softs will
carry the day in the settlement of the contrO-
versy; which is of Importance beyond the
States limits, because upon the manner of its
solution the action of the great State of New
York in the next Democratic National COnven-
ton depends. Thus, if the delegates be all
chosen by tho State convention they will throw
united votes for the candidates they prefer ;
and if by district conventions the influence of
New York in selecting the candidates will
probably DC but one-third as great as if the Sc
lection of delegates was made as before. For
the Iiards would doubtless carry about third
of the districts, and their representatives at
Charleston would be sure to vote against The
candidates favored by the Softs.
