To-day the New York Democratic State
Convention assemblies at Saratoga to nomi-
nate candidates for Governor, Lieutenant
Governor, &c. The nomination Of ex-Gov-
ernor MORGAN by the Republicans has rem
dercd it absolutely necessary that the Dem
ocrats should be extremely cautious in,
making their nomination for Governor
and we doubt not that the claims Of oil the
aspirants win be thoroughly canvassed be-
fore any one OF them is selected to under
take the difficult, dangerous, and most i'm
portant task OF defeating the nominee OF
GRANT, CoNKLiNG & Co. 2a.@ss,st ~;s;j
p The names most commonly mentioned in
connection with the Democratic nomination
for the goyernorship are those OF Dir. A. ii.
GREEN, GARRISON n. POTTER, ADRIAN 5.
HEWITT, WILLIAM DoRsHEIMBR. and Judge
CHURCH.
II the Convention shall determine to try
to effect thorough reconciliation between
the TILDEN men and the anti-TILDEN men,
it will probably nominate Judge CHURCH.
He is judge Of the highest court in the
State, and there seems to be but little doubt
felt that il nominated he would sacrifice his
personal, or rather merely pecuniary. inter-
ests and accept the nomination, the honor
being very exalted one. Nor are there
any apprehensions entertained on the part
of the Democrats that he conld not be elect
ed. He is able, faithful, and popular. He
goes into the Convention with number Of
delegates instructed to vote for his nomina-
ton.
If, however, the Convention shall deter
mine to try to reconcile the Tammanyites all
over the State, and bring them up to a
hearty and jealous support Of the Demo-
cratic nominees for President and Vice-Pre-
sident, it will be apt to fix upon Mr.. HEw-
TIT as the man who can best accomplish
that object. He is called Tammany man;
but he is so only in the sense in which WILL
LIAM L. MARCY and almost all OF New York's
greatest men, in the past rs in the present,
have been Tammanyites. lie is in entire
accord with the TILDES party-so much so
that it will no doubt surprise many OF our
readers to learn that he belongs to Tamma-
National Executive Committee. He was a
warm advocate Of Mr.. TILDEN's election
long before the st. Louis Convention assem-
bled. On his way to st. Louis he fell IN
with the Virginia delegation and other dele
gates, and made favorable impression upon
all who had the pleasure OF making his &C
auaintance. He demolished 4 few weeks
ago one OF the best of the Republican ora!
tors in the national House OF Represents
tiyes-Mr. KAssoN, OF Iowa. He goes into
the Convention with few or no delegates in
structed to vote for his nomination.
Mr.. DoRsHEMER has recently extended his
fame from Maine to Texas and from Ore
gon and California to Florida and Virginia.
He was the recognized leader OF the TIL
DEN forces at st. Louis. When the platform
was attacked his very audacity won him
and it friends amongst even the soft-money
delegates. "It will not take me five min
utes," said he, "to reply to General EwISG.
az make the issue here and now between
I" hard money and soft money. II you want
"victory, vote for hard money. If you
.scovet defeat, vote for soft money" He
ialtcIed not for one moment. 81 have
yielded too much already for the sake OF
peace" said he. 81 will yield no more"
He stood before, not only the seven hundred
and thirty-eight delegates, but before an
audience Of thousands OF western men
rag-money men, many Of them, and men,
and women too, who knew EWING and
VOORHEES, by sight, and honored and adj
mired them, and shouted their names when
ever they had fitting opportunity, and
who, like the new generation in Egypt that
knew not JOSEPH, did not know much OF
Mr.. TILDEN and knew nothing of Mr.. DOR
suEIMER. Cool, calm, collected, and SEEM
ing to feel that Mr.. TILDEN's success de-
pended upon his acts and his words ut that
supreme moment, Mr.. DoRsHEIMER looked
and spoke like an inspired oracle. He won
a grand and glorious victory. He goes into
r~ the Convention with a. large. number OF del
egates pledged to him, and with the intlu-
ence which possession OF the office OF Lieu
tenant-Governor gives to him. We shall
rejoice if he is deemed worthy Of nomina-
ton. ,.r[ -. 3'ssr .
. Mr.. POTTER is another man whose nomi-
nation would have q tendency to. draw the
anti-TILDEN Democrats into the fold. ! He is
a growing candidate. He will have sup
porters, too, from the beginning Of the SEES
sions Of the Convention. -,
Mr.. GREEN is the man whom we would
suppose to be the strongest OF all those
named. He has distinguished himself rs a
practical reiormer. His reputation for hon
esty is coextensiye with the State. He is
not quarter-horse; but VIII gain in speed
as he nears the goal. He would be q CAPT.
tai choice as a compromise candidate.
There are other gentlemen spoken Of; but
we think that one OF these, viii be the for
tunate one. The telegraph will be likely to
tell the news tonight. =. '1ff &@.
