for holding the State Convention and OF issuing call
for the election OF delegates 10 that body The main
topics these Who will be likely To receive the
nation for Governor. and whether or not an alliance
with the Liberal republicans will be- sought by the Dem
ocrsc leadersi The lesson Of last year has not been
lost upon tho prominent Democrats throughout the
State The fact that candidate both tickets who
was favored by the Liberals was elected, proved that
their vote, although small as compared with that Of
the two great coutcndng parties. was not 10 be de-
spsed. There have been rumors that the Democratic
leaders were willing concede the second place
ticket to the Liberals and it also urged that tho
call to be issued by the Democratic state Central Com
mittee for q State Convention should be made broad

strong PROBABILITY that these counses will prevail TIE

mocracy; that will be left for the platform to be sub
mitted to and approved By the Convention. IL WILL
however. be broad enough TO take In the Liberals.
Three delegates from each Assembly District will be
chosen TO attend the State Convention, and IL Is
tended that one Of these shall be accorded the LIB
erals. This will be left. however, to the Assembly Dis
trlct organizations for adjustment.
There has official interchange of opinions on
this subject between the Chairmen Of the Democratic
and Liberal State Committees up TO the present time
Some of the Liberals in the interior OF the state tis
understood, have been anxious to coalesoe with the
Democracy the basis Of receiving the second place
on the Ticket everything else being given to the Demo
Gratis, This is strongly opposed by the majority Of the
Liberals in this city prominent Liberal said ycster
day that he opposed to trading IN the interest
of any one man or set of Such arrangement
should be made with the Democrats through the recog
organizations OF both parties or those chosen to
represent them. The Liberals embody priuciple. and
he was opposed their being used in the interest
of a few men, or a tender TO the Demo-
cratic party. II the Liberals were recognized officially
by the Democratic State Central Committee and invited
cooperate with the Democrats In the formation Ola
ticket he thought the offer would receive favorable
response Nothing definite, however, could be said un-
til after the Liberal Convention to be held at Albany on
Wednesday Sept. Q. had met and decided on this mat
ter No yet authorized to speak for the Lber
ais and any set Of who attempted to do so would
probably find themselves much mistaken as they
were last year, when an unsuccessful attempt was
made at Elmira to have the Liberal Convention accept
the entire Democratic ticket.
The most prominent candidate for the nomination for
Governor before the Democratic State Convention at
the present time is undoubtedly the Hon. Samuel j.
Tilden the Chairman Of the Democratic State Central
Committee. He has for many years past been leader
in the Of the Democracy, and has more exteu-
sve acquaintance with the Democratic rank aud Mo
than almost any other in the State He has on sew
era previous occasions asked to allow his name to
be used as candidate before the Convention but has
declined in favor Of some one else IL
has been urged against him that from his long,
bitter. and successful fight against the Tammany
Ring that he would be likely to meet with very con-
siderable opposition from that faction and that his vote
in this city would therefore he materially essened To
NJ TIL nj
the adherens of Tweed and the old Ring is very much
oyerrated that they would not dare to make an open
opposition and that the number OF actual votes thrown
against Mr. Tden by this small faction would be moro
than by the votes OF members OF tho
Bar Association and citizens who generally take no pars
in elections but cognizant OF Mr. Tldens EFFORTS
In the cause OF Reform. The New-fork deiega
ton 1t is believed, will vote solidy for Mr Tiden, wnie
from the interior, and probably tho counties OF Rich
mond Kings. Queens, Suffolk and the river counties no
will receive considerable support 1t Is believed tnas
the active opposition OF certain am
bilious politicians from the interior OF the state they
cannot control the town and county leaders, who make
up the bulk of the delegates the Convention and that
the majority OF these will vote for Mr. Tilden. Inc
latter has authorized one to present
his name as Q candidate for the nomination.
1t Is understood however, that II the nomination were
rendered him with approach to unanlmity on tho part
Of the Convention ne would not feel at liberty TO de-
cline the honor conferred upon him.
Judge Church, It is understood, will not allow his
name to be used as candidate before the Convention.
He reported to have said recently that the people
had elected him for IA years, aud that he thoughtt
only right 70 fulfill his part OF the contract Tho
mention Of his name as q candidate for Gov
erpOr was liable to lead to msc0Dstruo
ton Of his official acts Chief-Justce. aud be
thought that the bench should be far removed from
politics as possible.
Senator John Ganson Is still urged by his friends
strong and available candidate. The same objection
applies to him as to Judge Church The Democrats
not spare him from the State Senate any moro than
they can Judge Church from the bench OF the Court Of
Appeals.
The Hon. g. Cox has been mentioned as candidate.
He can be much moro useful the Democracy in the
House Of Representatives, where his readiness q
debaer and his long services aud experience render
him especially valuable to the party at this time Tho
Hon. Smith NJ. Weed and the Hon. ClarksOn N. Potter
are popular men, but Is doubtful whether either could
obtain the number Of votes in the Convention necessary
TO secure the no minaton Ex-Lieut. Gov Beachs
has been mentioned it Ii understood that he Is nos
q candidate. Judges Allen and Grover are mentioned
as among the possible candidates.
For the second place the Democratic ticket there
"a very little speculation thus far 1t to be
ceded that this will be given to the Liberals. II an
arrangement can be made with them. and until some
thing definite is known there is not much chance Tor
discussion as to the candidates The OF Henry X
seden brought forward by certain OF the Liberals
from the interior Of the State but it is not by any
means certain he will receive the support OK tho
majority of the Liberal delegates should coalition be-
tween the Liberals and Democrats be agreed upon. Tho
