NEW YORK, July II.
The Liberal Republican party in the State of
New York is about to organize In counties and
townships for the purpose of choosing dele
gates to State convention to be held some
where in September. At present there Is no
regular organization of the party beyond the
State committee, of which General Cochrane
ia chairman. The Liberal Republican strength
has been so surprisingly developed in all the
Interior counties of the State, that organizing
In detail can be effected with little difficulty.
Among the prominent Republicans who have
Joined the new party since the Baltimore nom
nations were made are Ex-Governor Myron
Clark, ex-senator Harris and Congressman
Miles Goodrich.
ills probable that the Liberal Republican
and Democratic State Conventions WILL meet
on the same day and agree on Joint State
and electoral ticket. The Democratic ConVen-
tlon at Rochester, In May, nominated electors,
but that ticket will be revised 30 as to let in
proper proportion oil Liberals. There Is spec
ilatlon as to whom the Union candidate for
Governor viii be. It Ia known that Governor
Hoffman desires 8 denomination, but it is
argued that he would not draw as well among
the Liberals as q new man; Chief Judge
Sanford E. Church Ia favorably spoken Of.
Internationally he would be the stron zest
man the Democrats could offer for the head of
the ticket. Francis Kiernan and Lieutenant
Governor Allen G. Beach are als0 mentioned.
II a Democrat is nominated for Governor the
second place will be given to Liberal Re-
publican. .,
There ls no reasonable doubt that Greeley
and Brown will carry New York by major

that Grant had gone to Philadelphia to see If
Forney could not be induced 10 draw of bis
dogs, for he bitterly opposes the Cameron
ticket, and predicts Its defeat.
Colonel Forney's course Ia puzzling the poll
ticians. He fights the regular Republican
State ticket, but says he Is Ia favor Of the re-
election of President Grant, and yet, while he
permits the Press to advocate the claims OF
Grant, in llsllees sort of way he allows no
word of rldicnle or detraction OF Greeley to
appear In its editorial pages AS the Press has
hitherto been rather distinguished Tor the
yIrulence Of Its warfare upon the foes OF lls
party, this marked courtesy towards Mr..
Greeley is supposed to have some significance.
Coupled with this comes Colonel Forney's re-
mort of his recent visit to Texas, In which hls
heart seems to have been fairly captured by
the people. He has only kind words for the
Southerners of that section, and admits freely
the great strength Of the Greeley movement
among them. Mr.. Bowles, OF the Springfield
Republican, is authority for the statement taat

would abandon party associations which are
evidently distasteful to him and take the Press
over to the support Of the Liberal nomina-
tions, the effect would not only be very great
In Pennsylvania, but throughout the Union.
Never before In our political history has 30
much interest been taken in North Carolina

arises from the feeling that the result In North
