of family quarrel, ,the Democrats hav-
ing made no nomihations for State Of
ficers. The liberal Republicans, those
in favor of universal amnesty and uni-
versal suffrage, and opposed to the
Radical high tariff measures, are run

3dafe for Governor, and fhe ultra pro-
scription high tariff Radicals have re-
nominated McClurg, the present in
cumbent, as their gubernatoriaf can
didate. His Royal Highness, Presi-
dentGrant, while he does not mani
