party from having a majority in tho Canal Board
They also gay that in many counties the
Liberal Republicans and Democrats have unlted
organization, and that the nomination OF sph'

tons end break them up. On the other hand 1t Is
argued that there arc nominations mot NJ 10 DC
rnadep on both of the tickets now in the field, and
that it is the duty Of Liberal Republicans to place
before the people, if possible ticket that shall be
free from objection 50 far rs the integrity OF the
candidates is concerned. There is very little doubt
that the Convention viii adopt this course and the
following are the selections that Will probably be
made:
From the Republican tcke-Thayer for Secretary OF
state Hopkins .Or Controller and Plat for State Prison
Inspector.
From the Democratic ticket-Pratt for Attorney
General Ranes for Treasurer Jackson for Canal Coiu
missioner, and Sweet for State Engineer.
