THE STATE CANVASS.

The Marty has "run with the machine"
long time Now Just for a change, let the machine run
with the party.
St. Lawrence County has now renOmlnated all
three Of tie Republican nAssemblymen-Mcs'r Hepburn
Lang, and Metals.
Mr.. Theodore NJ. POmerOy does not loom up as
candidate for Governor President Grants third term
might have been Mr. Pomeroys first. Now both are
likely to be disappointed
The primaries in Troy have resulted in the
election Of delegates for Martin l. Townsend for Gov
ernor though 1t understood tEat Mr.. Cornell VIII get
the votes If Mr. Townsend is found to have no use LOT
them.
More COMMITTEES heard from. The Ist District
OF Queens County sends three ant-machne dees"es'
with Senator Prrce at their head, Suffolk County four
and Genesee County four for Mr. Evars Kings County
80 delegates will vote for Gen Wooiford as g rs thefe
Is prospect Of his nomination. Their second cholce is
yet matter Of conjecture
There is little talk about the candidates for
Iieutenant- Governor. Assemblyman George T. Sloan,
Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee ana
Speaker pro tenn of tho last Assembly, has been iaYor
ably mentioned for the Republican nomination aud
would undoubtedly make strong candidate Ihe proPo

Lemon Thompson of Albany, prominent
liberal has written open letter TO Congressman
Benz A. Willis, expressing his surprise at nndng him
v.
other things he says Gov. Hayes, when his country
needed defenders Joined a regiment and went forth TO
the battlefield, and there made record that any man
might well be proud Of His record has not been fo
ostenaton and show but has been such as the people
approve aud appreciate and have been glad 10 lldOrhe
No reformer had opportunity to expose corIup-
ton and extravaganza in HIS administration II is much
better TO avoid maladmnstratiOn than 10 expose IT, You
have undoubtedly read Gov iayes's letter OF accept
ance What more could you ask than is there promised
You have every to believe him conscientious,
honest man. He would not promise what he ana not III
tend to fulfil. He is no trimmer lie mas shown NM
self man Of courage TO take pOslioh fIuUvey anu
boldly has in his letter Of acceptance Win these
facts before shall most gladly ana heartily sppoi
HAYES and Whe Ter. As true Liberal Republican, /
cannot understand how you can consistently support
any other candidates"
1t is barely possible that here and there a
voter nay have been deceived BY the machine organs
far as to suppose that there was doabt about the
Republcanism Of Mr. Evarts about his preferences
for the Cincinnati ticket over that nominated at st.
Louis. II co. the following from TIE Utica Herald VIII
make interesting and useful reading: "WitLin month
Mr Eyarts has spent some time iu Utica, and he cx-
pressed himself with the greatest freedom ana earnest
IN favor of the election OF Hayes and Wheeler ana
detailed at length and with force he why lie be
heved that tic election OF Mr. Tdcn a this time would
be especially dangerous and unfortunate for the country
There is less doubt about Mr. Eyartss RcpuDLcaulHn
than there about that Of of those who are blsy
endeayoring to prejudice the party against DIS hoh-
ton II is 10 e feared that these doubts exist only in
the minds OF those whom the wish father OF the
thought The Republicans did not hesitate TO nominate
Gen. Dix IN 1872 although he had leen identified with
the Democratic party up TO the day when Horace
Greeley was nominated. IL was an act o when the party
has never rcpened because IL saved thc Staeo New
York u Gen. Grant. Gov. Hayes Will stand IN lar
greater need OF the vote OF Ncw-HoTk Uan Cen GTant
did There is now than then, therefore,
why policy quite and liberal a6 tEat which pre-
vailed at Utica in 1872 should be adopted a saratoga III
