TO NOMINATE STRAIGHT TCKET-GEN. DIX
TO BE THE CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR-ENCoUR-
AGING PROSPECTS OF SUCCESS.
1t is settled that there will be three tickets in tho
field this year for county and city Offices The Re
publicans have refused all coalition with Mr.. Green
and his Independents and Mr.. Green viii run in the
interest of Mr.. Tilden, who is afraid to trust his
tickets to the Tammany leaders. Gen. John A. Dix
will be the Republican nominee for Mayor.
REASONS FOR THE REPUBLICAN DECISION.
THR GREEN MOVEMENT BACKED BY GOV. TILDEN-
BELIEF THAT A STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET
WILL wiN-ARGUMENTs To INDUCE GEN. DIx's
ACCEPTANCE.
The negotiations which the friends of Mr..
Green and the Ant-Tammany Democrats have been at
tempting with the Republican leaders with a view TO
their support OF him candidate for Mayor we're
finally broken of Saturday by refusal on the part OF
the Republicans to treat. 1t became known early OF
Saturday evening that the Republicans had decided upon
a straight county ticket with Gen. John A. Dix at ib
head, If he could induced accept. large delega
tion OF prominent citizens waited GA Gen. Dix and
urged him to permit his Dame te be used
in this canvass as the Republican candidate for Mayor
II urged that In the present emergency the whole
country looking anxiousy toward the Republican
party this State, and that his at the head of the
county ticket would inspire the greatest enthusiasm, and
materially aid the general ticket. II said that
while Smith Ely and Controller Green, the other candt
dates had good local records the nished services
which Gen. Dix had rendered TO the nation Ia
ciyn and military capacities gave him
national reputation, and his nomination for Mayor
wOgid be renewed assurance to the whole
country OF the disposition to put forward only the bes,
men. With two Democrats OF the strength Of Mr.. Ely
and Mr. in the field to divide the Democratic vote
claimed that there little question OF the cleo
tiOn OF Gen Dix by good majority 4 represented
further Gen Dix that the pe0e Of the city were dis
custed with the ordinary machine nominations made al
the instance OF John Kelly and James O'Bren even
when they embraced such good men as Mr. Ely, and
would eagerly the opportunity of eleyang to the
Mayoralty candidate of such character and strength
national and local. ma universally respected IN pu0s
and private life
Among Republicans generally to whom the nominations
Gen Dix suggested there universal approval
OF the wisdom of the choice AMI delight tnGt the conven
ton was likely to nominate straight ticket of good
men. Filled by other srorg can1i a,e' 1t was argued
that a Republican ticket could he elected. ExJudge
Emott James C. Carter and judge Fancher were spoken
Of a. good candidates for judges Alderman Jacob Hess
was recognized "a very strong working nominee for
County Clerk; while it claimed that exCoilector
Thomas Murphy would equally well for sheriH
The situation would not uuISe that o the election VI
1872. when Havemeycr. Lawrence, aud OBrcn ran for
Mayor, Havemcyer being elected on tie Republican
ticket by good plurality aud almost wholly by Repuh
licnl votes. Indeed the circumstances Tcre even more
favorable Tor the OF the Rt2ub leans now than
they we're IN 1872. O'Brcl who then divided the Demo
cratic vote was not as strong candidate as MI.
Green backed by the Germans and Antiiammany yet
C'Dricu ia that election policd 200 yDtcs Judge Law
renee was a. popular q candidate as Mr. Eiy IS to-day
Lawrence had associated with him popular men, backed
hy the united Tammany faction; Mr. lily heads ticket
net llly supported by his party and Tamuany to-day s

fell 600 short OF his psr;ys vote for Governor Gen.
Dix wa the Republican candidate Tor Governor and 1t
is ceaiu that could O tie fu vote cf his party now
as then with COO0O votes he would be reasonably GER
tain TO be Mayor for clear that r Green could poll
over 0o0 leaving Mr. Ely without sufficient votes TO
win. In TIE present condition Of Dissatisfaction with
