that candidate TO Office be he Democrat Republican,
! who places himself squarcly on that platform.
A prominent New-York Democrat told me that organi-
cation was no whore necessary except in NowYork and
ntmatcd that things fixed there that the Demo
cratic party would make its nominations acceptable to the
Republicans who were represented the Saratoga Con-
yention.
This means the nomination OF Gen. Dix for Governor,
whose name am told in Dean Richmonds list and
Thurlow Weeds list at Saratoga tor Delegate at Large

Representative
