Two more Republican nominations for the
Assembly-Lews c. hang the IIid District OF IT.
Lawrence County and John J. Gilbert in Franklin
Connty Mr. Gilbert was one OF the most promising
members of the last Assembly, and his denomination is
well deserved.
Gideon J. Tucker and Richard Scholl, of the
nAation wing the Democratic party in this STATE are
reported as boiling the nomination Of Cary. Now, II
Hendricks advice Nasty reversed, and the hard
money platform sofened good deal IN the East, per
haps these distinguished drynurses Of the ragbiby will
come on IT, The fu elasticity OF that platform hasn't
been developed by any means We may see Peter Cooper
on ii yet
A little campaign material is a dangerous
thing The Rochester Union for instance, grows ndig
nant over the salary grab OF 1866, and How
any honest man vote for HayesP The Union, being
consistent-wel not exactly that, but say oeical-no
nor that either; we If The Union wants to astoush its
readers let repubSh that sentence with tho name of
Hendricks substituted for Hayes. Mr.. Hendricks was IN
the Upper House al tnat tHe ana TOOK inc money rs
everybody else did.
The World sneers politely at Mr.. Green IA a
Democratic candidate for Governor. 1t says: "Ihc
name Of Mr. Andrew II. Green is brought forward with
prominence of course without the concert or even
the concurrence OF Mr. Green himself as that Of reform
and retrcnchnent candidate for Governor II IS rather
a queer notion n Mr. Green wished, rs Of course lac
does Lot wish, TO strengthen the hands OF bs friends he
would devote himself to retrcnching and reforming
rather than writing letters abusive 81 people VINO are
trying TO get the public business done"
The present Democratic members OF the
State Senate in for their share Of the h0n'rs o
mention. Senator ST. John is thought likely TO get
complimentary for Governor from his home dciesa
tion Senator Bradley urged by some papers for me
same post and starbucE, probably the abest

strength in the northern part of tho State. Senator
Hammond Is put forward bY his home paper ~ cand

Any mans claims upon the party make about
the poorest title 10 Office he can show. whether Mf'
cornell has any claim upon the party or whetAef the
parry could not claim and recover heavy damages IRON
him. Is question which probably large majority Of

controversy on this point would be endless ana useless

MS friends that there many even Of those who thinh

expected from few personal enemies" says; But Mr.
