VIEWS OF POLITICIANS.
rvpppes1oSs OF OPINION BY DIsTRICT-ATToRNEY
BIIss THOMAS c. ACTON, AND A. s. SULLIVAN.
Most all of the leading politicians of the
metropolis are taking their usual Summer vacations or
finding themselves at Saratoga on political pusiuess
have embraced the opportunity to take short season OF
physical repose and will not return until Monday or the
middle of next week. The absence OF acknowledged
leaders the favorite meetngplaces OF the poll
tieans who are eager express their personal saus
faction with nominations but without leadership arc
not eaual to public demonstration OF approval Among
the politicians who have returned is A. b. Cornell who
however positively refused talk on political subjects
with any one.
United States Attorney Bliss, who returned from
Saratoga last evening expressed himself as perfectly SAT-
shed with the work of the convention in every respect
81 have only single doubt he said, as TO the WISDOM
of the Conventions action and thatis the selection o
Mr. Rogers for the second place on the ticket he is
far stronger candidate than Pomeroy In fact stronger
than any 1 think of for the place. pu1
the Republicans can Ill afford TO lose MN HOln
the Senate, Of which he is very valuable
fmember trust and believe Republican will be chosen
70 succeed him. but cannot afford to take any r1Sks
That is the only doubt have about the whole matter
We have nominated ticket that Will win was MOT
gan man from the first am ON the most peasant
terms with Mr.. Cornell personally, and regard him as
emnently qualified for the position TO which ne Worty
aspired Had Individually held the power of appoint
ing Governor should appoint him. But did not be-
eve he would be the strongest candidate OF that II was
best that he should at this time"
This has hcralded as the defeat and overthrow
of Mr. Conkng said Mr. Bliss. "I do not so regard it,
and ~ had believed the movement to nominate Mr.
Morgan TO be an ant-Conkling movement should not
yhaye taken part in it, Some OF the Fenton men ana the
Liberal Republican element who were opposed to Mr.
Conkllng and friendly TO Mr.. Morgan are perhaps
disposed TO look upon the latters nomination as some
thing of victory for themselves, but there
aur for regarding IL.
On the other hand exGov Morgan expressly declared
when his mentioned for the nomination, that
he would not head Republican faction, and that he
would decline nomination antiConkling candi-
date He said should all the fight that was In
him for the Democrats He would only accept the nom
nation provided 1t the view Of his being consd
cred by both the COnklng and antiConRling men the
strongest man to head the ticket. To show how
little foundation there is for looking at the nomina-
ton as an anti-COBklng triumph the State Central
CQrnnIttee, which last year avOwedly Conkling
committee was this year composed Of mostly the same
names and the newly appointed members many OF
them Mr. Conkling's friends. Mr.. smons OF Oneida
County who reappointed, was strong Conklhs
man. Gen Sharpe reelected from Ulster in Richmond
which elected two Eyarts delegates 70 the convention
one Of Them George william Curtis, the member OF the
State Committee is Wisner Townsend, who was not On
Evarts man. This Is only fact to show that the con-
yention dd not strike at Mr.. Conklng. Among the del
egates from different sections there generally no
feeling in the matter They all wanted the best man,
and man to win. Mr., Morgan was acceptable to every
member of the convention. Mr. Curtis who sat beside
me In the convection, told he delighted with it.
BY the way, in moving make the nomination OF ex
Gov Morgan unanimous, Mr. Curtis pledged the support
and influence and voice Of Mr. Evarts to the ticket and
j understand he will make few speeches during the
campaign the talk Of reorganization Of the party
in this city, which asked by the Independent Repub
hcans il amounts 10 nothing The request was not con-
sdeTed by the convention and will not be by the State
Committee The Republican organization here will
remain unchanged"
THOMAS c. AcToNs OPINION.
Thomas C. Acton, who n delegate to the Saratoga
Convention returned TO the city yesterday afternoon
and passed the evening the Union League Club. Mr.
Acton he very much pleased with the work Of
the convention, and expressed himself in the most en-
thusiastlc terms. had anything like the
harmony and manly spirit shown In any other con-
yentou; and in those inspiring circumstances which
give canvass glorious beginning, nothing had equaed
exGOv. Morgans nomination since four years ago when
Gen. Dix placed at the head Of the ticket Every
body he had talked with equally pleased with
the domination, and it argued well that the
Democrats lie had all inclined 10 be
Respondent and in position to say just how the
Republicans could have bettered themselves. Mr. Acton
said the Liberals Independents enthu-
siase anybody, and after being given seats in the
convention could not have shaped matters to their
liking if they had taken part in tie baOting. 1t
did reform Republicans conscience good TO listen 10
the baoting and witness how the delegates set all the
old methods OF log-roing defiance Very few dcega
tions voted solidly for candidate and almost as
many for MI Evarts for Mr. Morgan Each delegate
seemed TO have made up his mind separately TO the
best man and asserted his choice frankly and with
fearless voice. Surprise felt that Mr. Evarts
solely on the prestige of and without any poti
cal organization, should have obtained such handsome
compliment as l26 votes. nomination for Mr. Evarts
was almost out OF the question, politically.
Mr. Acton said the effect of George William Curtiss
speech was eectriying when he gracefully and elo-
quenty alluded 10 Mr. Evarss endeavor 10 secure the
Chicago nomination for William H. Seward and then
Ike Mr. Eyarts In that instance behalf OF his fayortte
candidate, NOV TO make the Con yentons choice
unanimous. The Convention to its feet and ex-
pressed its genuine pleasure in loud applause Mr. Curtis
could not rise 10 speak without being compelled to take
the platform. While many Republicans in the Convention
differed with him, they all respected him highly his
abilities and his sincerity, and valued the work he was
doing The only unpleasant hitch in the perfect good
feeling OF the convention produced by the iadvsed
presentation Of Mr. COnels for the second place
on the ticket Mr.. Acton thought ex-Goy. Morgan and
Sherman 9. Rogers made ticket which contained the
best coDdeons possible for victory. Ex.Goy. Morgan
would command the soldicrs' votes for the men whom
exGOv Morgan sent and nobly supported the
had not forgotten EewYorks war Governor. Ex-
Gov. Morgan had always obtained the SURFACES
