Itwas General Dix, and not Diven, whose
nomination it was said at Utica would draw
off Democratic votes.
The Tribune and Herald think General
Dix the strongest nomination which could
have been made by the Republicans,
The World says the resolution of the
State Republican Convention yesterday in
viting Democratic votes, and the nOmina-
ton of General Dix as candidate for Gov
ernOr,. amount to an abjeGt appeal for Dem
Ocratic assistance.
1t says there never was a worse beaten
ticket than this one will be, headed by Dix,
on the false pretense that he is a Democrat.
The Times considers the ticket the strong
est that could he made. OF the platform it
says: 1t pledges the Republican party to
continued reform, and invites honest Demo
Gratis to assist in the work"
Prince LunaldO, of the Sandwich Islands,
arrived here yesterday and proceeded to
Washington.
