tlemen have few other points IN common. The Dem
ocratic opposition to HIM springs manly from the
fact that he has only been o short time with the
party and ought not to carry of its highest h0nors

friend of Gov. Tlden told him the
other day that 1t would be all he could
do, and perhaps more, to nominate him.
While Gov. Tiden can undoubtedly nominate him
or almost anyone else, now that his word has been
made law by the ST. Louis Convention, it is believed
that he will find this. sentiment too strong to be
overridden There is great doubt, of course
whether he ever intended to make the
nomination, though more than one Demo-
crat of national reputation and lifelong
Democracy is urging it. The nomination
of Mr.. Dorsheimer is considered, therefore, de-
cidedy improbable, and f is evident that
neither he nor his friends intend TO make a scramble
for it. His denomination for his present place is
considered almost inevitable that Senator
Rogers has been put up for the place. This noml-
nation he will get, if he desires it, without any
grudging Since his service to Gov Illden at
st. Louis, he has grown into greater prominence
and popularity.
Clarkson N. Potter is also much discussed as
didae, and has been taken up by the politicians who
went out of control when Tilden came in, and who
are now trying to regain it, They have grown bolder
of late and have advanced from Mr. Potter to Judge
Church. The merits of his nomination are obvious.

made on all sides to him is that while
he is as little likely Mr.. Evarts for nstapcc, to
arouse the enthusiasm of machine workers, he has
not the commanding ability and independent record
that would have given Mr. Evarts great strength.
There are, however, many who favor his nomina-
tion and there is an occasional Republican who
sincerely thinks it would be a strong one. One

While it very often happens that the opinions of
persons near to Gov Tlden are no better guides to
his intentions than those of the world outside, 1t is
vet interesting to know that with number of these

candidates most discussed, with an apparent pre-

Controller Robinson is making considcrabepro-
gress as candidate though he himself has no con-
necton with such canvassing as is going on, and
refuses to aid it in any way. The delegations from
Chemung and BrCOme favor his nomination, and II

vote for high tolls in the Canal Board would be
fatal to him. There could be no cues
