SYRACUSE, Sept 4, 1872.
Io-oay mas beenza very exciting one among the
uemocrf pic andfet publican politicians assembled in
ahs Guy lor tlSe pa rpose of nominating the liberal
Ilcket' tt4d, althor .gh both Conventions have al
Ieaey NAG rVo ser sons, everybody is as much be-
sogged aA ever as to what the upshot Of the COM
oined deafoeratt ons OF the coalitionists will be.
ihere was ime when State conventions as
sempied only ar .er the slate had been Axed ana
nothing was lef for the delegates do but fol-
low IN the wax Of the leader and vote just they
were toid belo rehand; but the proceedings In the
TWO Conventh ms to-day have shown concusively
mat time-ho nored slate business has fallen into
lisrepute.
AN INNOVATION.
The idea OF convention assembling without
knowing W. 40 the candidate or the majority really
as Is certan lly novel one, and the old wirepucrs
accustome to the ways and means resorted to in
past years 10 produce harmonious action all around
are natur ally rather astounded at the Innovation
Ihe fact Sens well, however, for the independence
or The va ri ous candidates; but whether the slate
work WI Il not come into play before the wind-up is
quesu OH which tomorrow alone can decide,
NOTHING FIXED.
Vi cs ~ tse every delegate just now has an idea
that III lgs sure for this particular favorte for
this aI lci that place the ticket which may be the
S"oS' IS jar Us minOr POSITIONS are concerned;
but t an undeniable fact that not one delegate
In ye,, in either Convention, as yet can tell with
any ce ftanty who the candidate for Governor will
Be- twas in this pleasant mood of glorious un
ccl taf mty that the two Conventions met this
m ,erl loon and whiled away the entire day
ap nk and consultations which had moth
ng whatever to do with the question
as to twho the head man on the ticket should be.
BY pmorrow matters will of course have to take
turn nnue ho mnata tad

find in the meantime the workers for the various
ca ndidates will console themselves in the belief
tft each one OF the three stands good chance
ms competitor. This evening Beach has l0omed up
IN greater prominence than ever, and 1t is conf
dently asserted by his friends that he will 60 into
the Convention with fifty votes pledged for him,
and this without the assistance Of the Kings county
delegation, who will vote for him solid
if he is hard pushed by Herman and schel.
Herman is not strong as he
last night and the Sche people claim to have
taken several votes away from him. However this
be, It is pretty certain that the fight is gradu-
ally narrowing down between Beach and Herman,
with the prospect Of the nomination Of Schell
should the supporters Of the other two candidates
be too evenly divided to admit Of break Of either
party from one to the support Of the other.
WILL CHURCH RUN9
Church will be dragged into the contest, and be
nominated, whether he likes 1t not. Kernan's
friends claim that the Chief Justice cannot at this
! late hour become candidate without consent Of
\ Herman, inasmuch as he has already pledged his
4 support to the Utica favorte, while declaring he
= would not be q candidate under any cir
q umstances. On the other hand It is contended
H ernan will be entirely satisfied II the Judge
CO.. nsents to run and will willingly withdraw from
the field. At any rate Ihave 1t from reliable
thaa tone ofthe most prominent delegates in the Con-
veni lion will nominate Church tomorrow, and in
doin. 80 he will be able to give positive assur-
dnGes fion provided it Is made by both Conventions
withot t a contest with the other candidates The
Iieutel 'ant Governorship Is yet an open question
this ate rnoon, quite lively discussion ensued as
to the pa rttion OF places on the ticket. and 1t has
leaked or that the liberals have hankering after
tho Congr essman at large, and don't particu-
larly abou having the Lieutenant Governor.
A ROW AHEAD.
