New-York tribune., 1874-09-23

Marshall B. Blake James w. Farr, Carl Schwedler.
Gen. VIM. III. Anthony. and many Others. There Is
considerable canvassing over the appointments OF
temporary and permanent Chairmen Of the Conven-
ton. For the first position there are two or three
names prominently mentioned. Those OF ex-Con-
gressman Theo. Pomeroy of Cayuga and John M.
Francis of Troy being the most conspicuous, al
though the Hon. Ellis II. Roberts and James W.
Hustled also have their supporters. For permanent
Chairman there two strong candidates, the hon.
E. d. Morgan and Edwards Pierrepont. The indica-
tions point to ex-senator Morgan as the choice OF
the Convention. Another candidate for State Prison
Inspector is named Carl Schwedler of the Neo-York
DemokYat. He is urged by the Germans, who say
they are entitled to representation on the ticket.
The Germans viii also present resolution to-mor-
row. and ask to have it Incorporated in the platform,
protesting against the exemption OF church prop
erty from taxation and prohibiting the approprIa-
ton of public moneys for any seotar1an purpose.
The platform seems not to have been fuiy
prepared as vet. 1t is understood that it
will be as clear as that of the Democrats
In advocating an early return to specie payment,
and preserving inviolate the faith of the General
Government toward its creditors. The recent
scenes of violence in Louisiana and the South VIII
be deprecated Strong grounds will be taken against
the payment of unjust claims of great magnitude
Grant will be commended for vetong bills providing
for the payment of claims of this kind 1t will ad-
vocate cheap transportation. . The administration
of Gen. Grant will be indorsed The passage of the
Civil Rights bill may be advocated although thisis
not certain and the third term question is likely to
be ignored altogether.
The State Central Committee meets tomorrow
morning to provide for the organization OF the Con-
venton. There will be Committees appointed on
Credentials Resolutions, and Organization. There
are no contesting delegations, the Committee on
Credentials will probably have an easy time. The
Hon. A. b. Cornell, Chairman Of the State Central
Committee has not arrived and it is understood he
will not be present He leaves his canvass In the
hands of his friends. In his absence H. M. Glidden.
Secretary of the Committee, will call the meeting
TO order The impression tonight is that the present
State officers Will be renominated Col o. s. Spencer,
Hugh Hastings, and Hamilton Fish, jr, are working
for Gen. Bacheller for Northumberland, but u
seems hopeless task. 1t is barely possible that by
uniting the forces.of Cornell and Bachelor on the
latter, he might be nominated; but If this were
done, it would weaken the chances of Canal Com
missioner Barkey, who lives in the same Congress
sional District Gen. Batcheler residing in Saratoga
and Mr.. Barley in Washington County. 1t seems
much more probable the friends of Lieut.. Governor
Robinson, Canal Commissioner Barkley and State
Prison Inspector kirkpatrick will unite their forces
and by this combination secure their renomiuatiOn
A consultation was held this evening at the resi-
dence of Roscoe Conkling, at which were present
ex-senator Morgan, Collector ArthurtGen Sharpe,
United States District-Attorney Bliss, Isaac III.
Bailey ex- Commissioner Hugh Gardner. and others.
The question of the nomination of LieutenantGov-
ernor was discussed at length. 1t was finally de-
cided that the name of the Hon. A. b. Cornell should
be withdrawn and the support of his friends given
to Gen. Robinson. This insures the denomination
of the latter and probably of the entire State |
ticket Many believe they will be chosen by ac- |
clamation The friends of Gen. Batcheller are not |
however but say that they will still
press the claims of that gentleman before the Con-
yention Should they do so it is predicted that |
Gen. Batcheller will be defeated by very large |
majority The draft of the platform has been |
drawn up to be submitted to the Committee on
Resolutions It's main features are those stated !
above. There seems not much reason to doubt that
ex-senator Morgan will be chosen permanent Chair
man of the Convention.
LATER-The State Central Committee held q
meeting tonight, and resolved to present to the
Convention the names of the Hon. Theo. Pomerey
for temporary and the Hon. Il. ID. Morgan for
Chairman. The State Temperance Con-
vention TO be held here tomorrow appears to excite
little interest among the Republican delegates. 1t
is understood that separate State ticket Will be
placed in nomination.
