New York State.

In Indiana on the lOtn Oh OctOUeT VIII, III
our opinion, IL favorable to the Democrats,
influence the result in New York in Noyem-
Der, aud settle the fate OF TILDES and
HAYES. II BLUE JEAN WILLIAMS be elected,
TILDsS may consider himself as already in
the presidential chair; but not so with
HAYES II HARRISON be elected. Nevsrthe-
less, though HARRIsoN's success would not
insure TILDES's defeat, yet TnDES would
in that event have to secure the vote OF all
the southern States except South Carolina,
or be beaten. With Indiana for him, he can
give HAYES Mississippi, Louisiana, South
Carolina, and Florida, but with Indiana
against him he must have n united South
with the exception above named.
But rs every man imagines that he lives
in the centre OF the world, the New York
people may be excused for supposing that
as goes New York so goes the Union. Some
OF the papers in New York city constantly
tell US that without the vote OF the Empire
State neither TILDEN nor HAYES can be
elected We must credit the Tribune, how
ever, with more modesty. 1t, though
HAYES paper, says, not that TILpES cannot
be elected without the vote Of New York,
but that HAYES cannot be.
Conceding, rs we do, that as New York
shall 60 so will 60 the Union, but claiming
that Indiana will, IL she goes for TILDEN,
carry New York with her, we look with
much interest to the State Convention
which is to meet to-day at Saratoga to NOM
mate Republican candidate for Governor
rs well as to the one which is to meet there
TO-DAY week to nominate Democratic can
didate for the same high office; for we
must have New York whether Indiana goes
for lis or not.
The Republican party in New York State
is divided into q CoNKLING and an anti
CoSKLrSG faction, or, which is almost the
same thing, an Administration and an anti
Administration faction. Mr.. A. Is. CORNELL
is the man whom Mr.. CoNKLING desires to
have nominated for Governor. The oppo-
nGnts OF Mr.. CORNELL arc divided amongst
Messrs. w. N. EvARTs, Ex-Governor NOR
GAN, A. d. WHITE, WooDFoRD, ROBERTSON,
TOWNSEND. and FENToS. Mr.. CORNELL is
already defeated aspirant, il we can trust
the representations Of his enemies. GEORGE
WILLIAM CURTIS, the Tribune, and the
Times, all devoted advocates Of HAYEs's
election, are bitterly opposed to CoNKLlNG
himself, and to the nomination OF his friend
Mr.. CORNELL. But, supposing that Cor
NELL shall be defeated, which OF the men
named above can be nominated, and,
being nominated, can be elected:
WILLIAM NJ. EyAITs is thought to
be the man who would most probably
be elected; but rs he is opposed
to the use Of the military in the South, and
has but poor opinion Of GRANT and Grant
ism, it is not likely that CoNKLING will allow
him to be nominated il he can prevent it..
MIR. A. d. WHITE would be acceptable pos
sbly to C0NKLING, but not to the advocates
OF "rciorm within the party" MARTIN /.
TOWNSEND would be strong candidate, zee
think; but he is represented as preferring
to return to Congress, and, indeed, does not
stand much better chance for the nomina-
ton than Ex-Governor FESToN, except that
he might be nominated rs compromise can
didate, whereas FENToN could not be nomi-
mated under any imaginable circumstances.
WooDFoRD, ROBERTSON, and MORGAN re-
main; and it would seem that one OF these
three will be the lucky man. Ex-Governor
MORGAN strikes us as being the most for
midable candidate that the Republicans
could select out OF this last list-neXt to
Mr.. EvARTs in point of popularity. Yet he
is not set down as strong candidate by the
Tribune, which distributes the votes in
Convention on the first ballot as follows
CORNELL, n; EvARTs, So; MORGAN, 43;
EvARTs or MORGAN, 40; WooDFoRD, 80 {;
ROBERTSON, II; WHITE, S; TOWNSEND, s;
FENToN, Z; unknown, 122.
II CORNELL be defeated, the ofce-holders
will be dissatisfied, and will not work as
hard for the ticket Us they otherwise would.
If, on the contrary, CORNELL. be nominated,
the independent Republicans, such as
GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS, will sulk to GER
tain extent. So it would seem that whether
Mr.. CONKLING succeed in securing the nomi-
nation of his candidate or not, the State OF
New York is pretty certain for TILDEN I'M
less the Democrats make bad nomination
for the Gorernorship.
The names most commonly mentioned
amongst the Democrats are those Of MAN
TON MARBLE, G. B. BRADLEY, LUCIUs R0-
BINsoN, CLARKsoN N. POTTER, A. II. GREEN,
Judge CHURCH, and HoRATIo SEYMOUR. We
can't imagine what the Democrats Of New
York see in Mr.. SEYMOUR that is so admira-
BILE; but certain it is that il he would &C.
cent II no yyoI,ld raceiya the nomination and
would surely be elected. For this reason
we regret that he refuses to allow his name
to be used. Mr.. GREEN is another man who
could easily be elected. He is almost Us
celebrated as u reformer as Mr.. TILDEN him.
self. But the World opposes Mr.. GREENS
nomination, as it opposed TILDES's. AS to
Mr.. MARBLE, he has too long record to be
q strong candidate. POTTER would be y
good one. The others we know not much
about, except Judge CHURCH, who was an
anti-TILDES man previous to the lattcr's
nomination for President. Our preference
would be Mr.. D0RSHEIMsR; but as he is
already Northumberland, we shall take
it for granted il he is not nominated that
there was good reason for overslaughing
him. We feel towards him, however, as
Democrat OF New York does, who said to
