PROSPECTS.
lBY TELEGRAPH TRIBuSE.l
ALBANY, Sept 4.-The call for new convention
to be held at Saratoga OH Sept - has been issued
from the Democratic state Central Committee rooms
tonight The final dcclination of Gov. Seymour
was reported by Mr.. Magone, from Utica, by tele-
graph this morning. and at in accordance with
previous suggestions of Mr.. MagOnc and what
seemed to be the general sense of the State commit
teemen throughou the State, far as they could be
heard from, the cali issued. Gov Tilden visited
w. W. Gordon, the chief man at the committee
headquarters, during the afternoon, and it seems
probable that his advice tended greatly toward an
immediate calling of the convention. 1t has been
growing sentiment since Mr. Seymour's declnation
on account of i'll health that further urgency upon
him was not only cruel but impolitic.
Among the candidates now spoken of byprOminent
Democrats and committeeman here are Scott Lord,
Controller Robinson, and Edward Cooper of New
York Scott Lord is Objectionable mainly because
he comes from Utica, where the declining candidate
resides, and that he displayed lack of management
inproposing his famous resolution regarding Southern
affairs not having consulted fully with the other
members beforehand the objection to Controller
Robinson purely the general belief that he repre-
sents Liberal Republican element like MIR. Dor
sheimer, although the facts that he ran once for
Controller as Union Democrat on a ticket whercOn
Daniel S. Dickinson, an old Hunker Democrat, was
a candidate for Attorney General beating Sanford
4. Church on that occasion by 10000 majority, and
that in 1865 he was candidate of the Republican
party under pressure almost equal to that recently
brought TO bear upon Gov Seymour. Since then he
has steadily acted with the Democratic party, but
the sentiment displayed at Saratoga last week seems
to render ii impossible to nominate him on the same
ticket with Mr.. Dorshemer.
If Mr.. DOrsheimer were out of the way there is
no doubt of Controller RobDson's nomination, and
views are freely expressed that Mr.. Dorsheimer
ought, under the circumstances, to withdraw his
name. There is very positive opposition on all
hands to the advancement Of Mr.. Dorsheimer to the
first place. and any apprehension among the masses
of that outcome Of the convention may be aayed ut
once. Edward Cooper, if nominated at all, Will have
to bo proposed by John Kelly and the Ncw-York
united delegation, which does not seem very proba-
bic. 1t is admitted that his Only strength will be in
his unanimous nomination by the factions Ill New
York, and he spoken of only with reference to
such an event. Ii is probable that some pressure
may be brought upon Mr. Kelly to secure his noin-
nation. But the only hope for his consent is in the
belief that Mr.. Kelly will yield for the sake OF tho
party.
Sanford 4. Church again looms in the front, but a
belief prevails that he would bo very sure not to ac
cept, and Just row candidates who will accept are
especially desirable. Among other names less gem
orally discussed are d. Magone, jr. who was spoken
of last year, ex-Attorney-General Pratt and Samuel
Hand of Albany. The latter gentleman meets with
good deal of favor, the only objection being that
he is not well enough known.
