The canxas. for Governor.

Much will depend in the Presidential can
Governor There is u good deal OF quiet
man@uvring among the politicians on both
sides. The friends of Tilden are so grateful
to Dorsheimer for his services at st. Louis
that they propose to make him Governor.
But Dorsheimer is modest and young and
new to the party, and feels that some older
man who was not SO strong for Illden should
run. The democrats have many interests to
conciliate in this State, and oil their nomina-
tions will be made toward that end. One
plan is to nominate Horatio Seymour. Mr..
Seymour once held this Office, and has even
higher rank in the party than Tilden. He
may naturally object to enter this canvass
after declining that for the Presidency He
cannot wish to be mere strengthening
plaster for Tilden's back, as he would be if
he ran for Governor But on the other hand,
New York is to be the battle ground, and if
Seymour can win thousand votes moro
than any other candidate he will be pressed
to run. Judge Church will also be urged, and
perhaps Clarkson N. Potter or Henry G.
Murphy. good deal will depend upon
the wishes of Governor Tilden and his plans
for the canvass. If he proposes Cancellation
he will select the candidates for all the
Offices, State and municipal, from the men
who opposed him at St. Louis, and this is
the true policy. He will need every influ-
ence to carry New York. His opponents are
able and wary and in nominating Mr..
Wheeler have given their ticket an especial
strength in the northern counties.
The republicans have different problem
The party went to Cincinnati to nominate
Mr.. Conkling; but the opposition from New
York was so strenuous that he was defeated
not being allowed to poll his full vote
More than all, they would not allow him to
select the second name, but took Mr.
Wheeler, who was in no sense the Conkling
choice. Now the question arises, What will
be done in New York? Is the policy of Gin
cinnati to be pursued at Saratoga? Are Mr.
Conkling and his friends to be ruled out of
the party here, rs they were in the other con-
test 4? 1t is understood that Mr.. Conkling's
own choice is Hon. A. B. Cornell, formerly
Speaker of the Assembly. Mr.. Cornell bears
a name that will always be honored in this
Commonwealth and we have yet to hear q
word against his character or fitness But
he is Conkling man-the especial friend
and champion of the Senator and all the
braves are up in arms and adjoining them
selves with war paint and making ready for
the warpath. Here comes Silver Tongue
Curtis from Staten Island, Bald Eagle
Hustled from Westchester, Sitting Bull
Schultz from the Union League, Spotted
Tail Fenton from Chautauqua. all ready for
his scalp Cornell, confident in the aid of
his chief Red Cloud, from Oneida, calmly
awaits the onset.
The republicans, it may as well be said,
cannot carry New York without the
active, enthusiastic support of Mr. Conkling.
He is positive element His opponents
have won everything and the question they
will be called upon to answer at Saratoga is
Can they afford to destroy Conkling?"
The Senator may eliminate oil personal
questions from the canvass by presenting
some name for Governor like that of Secre-
tary Fish, Senator Morgan, or Mr.. Evarts-
some name that will be above even passion
itself But he is fighting man-strong,
proud and self-reliant-and if his opponents
mean to war upon him at Saratoga as they
did at Cincinnati they will have war to their
hearts content.
