week several informal consultations have been held by
Liberal Republican aud Democratic leaders at Saratoga
and elsewhere and the strength Of various representa-
tive men, and the question whether they would accept
benopinaons rendered were fully and freely discussed
The two Conventions will probably meet at the same
time and place, has been the case in nearly all the
states where Conventions have thus far been held when
a ticket composed Of the strongest men or the 1Dera
Repul lean and Democratic parties will be nominated
Chief Justice Sanford E. Church Of the Court Of Appeals

against l5l 7ss Henry X. Seden his Republican COM
