the hope tnat he viii allow himself to be put in
nomination and that he VIII be really the standard
bearer Of the democracy IN the fall are OF @ GER
talnty doomed to Disappointment But no doubt
their political loyalty and personal devotion may
be put to yet higher test than their votes for his
election as Governor would embrace. Chief Jus
tioe Church has studied well the whole field Of
politics, commencing with the gubernatortal can
vass which he has been urged to take first place,
but declines, to the Presidential contest In lS76,
when he win be ready to accept the call
OF his party as the standard bearer
OF the democracy OF the nation ana
Of an who are really anxious for the overthrow Of
the third term party, at whatever political sacrl-
nee this may be Effected. The Chief Justice. to
put himself IN the guDernatorial race, would hav
70 resign hts present position even before he could
be assured Of mis- nomination by the Convention, II
he desired to return the high gift he received from
the people back to their own hands again. His
retirement would leave q vacancy in the Chief
Justiceship of the Court Of Appeals, which, II oc
curing one day less than the required three
months provided by law before q general election
at which the people could vote for his successor,
would leave the appointment to that nigh of1ce In
the hands OF Governor Dix, contamination the
democratic party OF the State would most de-
voutly guard against. On the other hand, the
political straw indicates that everything win be In
favor OF rft

the race, and
sAMUEL J. TILDEN Is THE NAM
In Tammany circles this significant fact is ad-
mitted, and to this extent Mr. Tilden rules the
roast. The magnates OF the party, accepting
Chief Justice Church's view Of the whole situa-
tion, are unit for him. Ex-Governor Seymour,
Judge Herman, Tammany itself, and q majority Of
the present State Senator'S with the great booy Of
the rural democracy, look upon Tnden's nomna-
ton at the State Convention as q loregone concu-
sion. This, however, Is no present bar to the con-
sideration OF the claims Of other aspirants or OF
those whom friends IN he coming Convention
might delight to honor BY nomination. The
same rule which applies to Chief Justice Church,
70 far as the interests involved In resignation

whose names have also been mentioned and quail

dtdacy for Governor. The balance OF power or the
maintenance of the present political status on the
Bench of the Court OF Appeals is OF too weighty
consideration to the party to be lightly disturbed
at this time and 1t may be, therefore, conceded
