The Prospect in New York.

Unless they make n very bad mistake in
the ticket they nominate nj syracuse.
IL seems TO be foregone conclusion that
the Democrats will carry the State this
fall by very large majority. That Gov.
TILDEN will be the controlling power i'm
that Convention there can be no doubt,
and that the men whom he shall consent
TO have placed in nomination will be such
rs to command the confidence Of the
people is equally certain. Though the
Convention is to he held i'm the very head
quarters of the Canal Ring which for
years past has been all-powerful in the
making Of states in the conventions of
both parties it will this yecr be forced to
take back seat. Gov. Tu-DEN has killed
that Ring and il is time to bury il.
The cry Of the Democracy this fall viii
be TILDEN and Reform. and with tho
prestige already secured ly the Gov
errors successful raid unou the Canal
Ring, and the belief that ne VIII follow 1t
mp with attacks upon the prison, printing,
and other corrupt Rings in the state. II is
certain to be successful cry. None are
better convinced OF this than the leaders
of the Administration and Custom House
party. They also appreciate the fact that
victory of the Democrats this fall in all
the departments of the state Government
will place Gov. TILDEN IN Il position to
carry on his war against corruption un-
trammeled, all the glory Of which will go to
the Democratic party and secure the State
to Its nominee for President next year
There is but one way in which the Ra-
publicans hope to be able TO interfere with
the programme. They must secure the
State Senate. With this under tn cir control
they will be able-as they did last winter
70 retain the Health Officer, Port Wardens,
Harbor Masters. United States Loan Com
missioners, and other appointments at the
disposal of the Governor with the consent
Of the Senate. In addition TO this, they will
be able TO dictate in measure the laws
necessary to enable the Governor to carry
on his war of reform, thereby claiming n
part of the glory thereof. and also TO take
care of their friends. To this end ii is
raid that every effort is TO be made
by the hackers of the Administration
TO secure the State Senate. They will
put in nomination at Saratoga next week,
without the slightest hope of electnP it, a
respectable State ticket; but their hard
work will be reserved for the Senate dis
tricts. To carry these, money will be used
freely, while already the patronage of tho
Custom House is being distributed in those
districts where 1t will be likely to do th,
most good. The Republicans build grea
hopes on the feud between joins KEILl
and JONI MoRRIssEY IN this city, while
In the country districts, by judicious
use of money and patronage, they
expect 10 hold their own, aud gain
kt least the Twenty-sixth and Twenty
eighth districts. The latter district ha
been represented by the rcputed head o
the Canal Ring, JARVIS LORD, since 1870
and the former by WILLIAM JOHNSON fo
two terms, one of the Governors bitteres
opponents last winter.
Unless the Democratic leaders desire Il
see Gov. TILDEN hampered next winter b'
Senate opposed TO HIM, they must see L
IL that different class of men are put il
nomination this fall from those they hav
been accustomed TO send to Albany. Tn
people have had quite enough Of that sor
Of statesmen, especially in this city.
