will be the only to go into the Convention. and

this be the case the Democracy will enter the Fall

which they do not now manifest and are not likely
TO feel however much they may affect it, with any
other candidate.
OTHER CANDIDATES on THE TICKET.
For the second place on the Democratic ticket
there has been thus far very little competition, ana
therein it differs materially from the Republican
side of the house. Smith VI. Weed, the well known
Assemblyman from Clinton County is almost the
only man named in connection with the place ahu'

TIE TEMPERANCE VOTE.
Democrats indulge the hope and Republicans

tude Of the Temperance or Prohibition party Is
going 10 affect seriously the result OF the election

dominant parry. All efforts to reconcile the Tenn

have proved fruitless, and great exertons will be
made to p,ll heavy vote for the straight-out Tenn

ATTITUDE OF Tue LIBERAL REPUBLICANS.
The Liberal Republican State Committee few
DAYS ago recommended their Chairman TO call
State Convention of the party at an early day out
il was left discretionary with him when to call it, if
at all and he has not yet shown in what way ne pro-
poses to exercise the discretion. It's not likely to
b held until after both of the other parties have put
their tickets in the field, and the same policy with
regard TO candidates may then be pursued that en-
abled the Liberals hold the balance of power last
year. There does not appear to be any dispoSiton'
