COnkIing for Prcsidcnt-Tcnton for Governor
Seymour aud Hendricks.

ALBANY, Jan. 3t.-The large crowd OF
politicians assembled here are much exercised
about New York candidates for President. Each
party hos two or three, and about a. many for
Vice President.
Among the Republicans, Senator Cunklng Is
a long way In advance Of all competitors. Tue
pretensions OF Hamilton Fish arc ridiculcd.
Gov. Morgan has a good many friends, but they
would be willing to commute for the Nice-Presi-
dency on ticket with Presidential nominee
from the wost. Here aud there a man speaks
OF William A. Wheeler; and even Gov. fentons
name occasionally crops out.
Ky the 10y, there is singular rumor afoat about
ConklinR and Fenton. IL has been supposed
that the Liberals and Independents would Wig
orously oppose our distinguished Senator, and
that de ire 10 concilate them might turn the
scale against him In this State. But u is now
Significantly thrown out that II CODkiinR is
nominated for President, Fenton will he nonii-
mated for Governor. More extraordinary coali-
lions than this nave been entered into N New
York In yenrs gone by. II is well enough to
say that the idea OF third term for Grant is
scarcely mentioned here, and always with
shrug OF the shoulders, witch may mean some
hut, after all, there is an exposition 10 MIR.

therefore, to assume that Ru cOe Cuukiing
looms high over all his New York rivals at tie

la respect To the Democrats, IL is beyond
doubt that Gov Tidens Presidential stock mas
declined since the las election. Whether in
his otter contest with the Canal Rinx he has
