Mr.. EVARTS' GROWING STRENGTH.
SARATOGA, August %. 1916.

that the Of this gathering Will be concluded by
tomorrow evening. but should bitter contest ensue
on floor OF the Convention We may have two days
proceedings instead of one From an early hour this
morning clucussng, discussion and debate have been
kept up ntermission. The portion the
delegates have taken quarters at the United States
Hotel and the whole tenor of the situation be
there cleaned Throughout to-day all seemed in doubt
the probable chances OF candidates for the guber
natoral nomination. A firmly settled convection
however, pcrvaded large number OF delegates, par
licularly from country districts, as TO tho great
necessity at this time for putting forward the very
best man that can be found. The objections 20 Mr.
Cornell come simply nom the supposed odium hanging
around his connection with the prcsen. national ad
minstration. This connection, OF course is
The genteman's intimacy with Senator Conkling No
Dther SIM If sin this construed can be alleged against
Cornell, and the great impedments to his nomination
arise IRON this cause alone. 1t is understood that the
gentleman himself has nailed his colors to the
and will fight for the nomination to the last Morsa IS
friends equally determined to stand to their guns
mantully the struggle fight broadsde to broad
eide as long there possible chance oil securing
victory for their favoritc.
SMALL HOPE OF COMPROMISE.
While such temper exhibits itself, compromise be-
tween the two factions is out of the question: Either
Conklings Morgan banner must go down. 1t is n
battle for political supremacy. and no sympathy will be
shown upon either side. With such turbulent, I'M
compromising feeling both sides of the house. it
difficult matter to determine who going carry of

Conkling or Morgan, if either faction clearly see
chance Of success may bring out third candidate
who will be looked upon the friend of those who gave
him the nomination.

utter surrender OF Senator Conklng's political
power in the State OF New York. 1t would
prove an easy gliding out OF particularly
delicate position which tho gallant Conkng has
been placed from the force of circumstances over
which he has had control than the man in The
Another candidate might be found to answer in
THIS emergency, but present indications point to
Senator Robertson as being the most eligible.
GOVERNOR MoRIAx's CHOICE.
In this view OF matters. should Governor Morgan
develop the strength in the Convention that claimed
for him by his sanguine friends, and should he too
the handwriting tho wall conveying the in
formation that he must step aside, then it might be
feasible to carry out the tactics his behalf
The Morgan interest would be more likely to settle
upon Mr.. William NJ. Evars Hamilton Fish than
any the other candidates heretofore mentioned but
this plan OF battle entirely depends upon tue question
as to whether not Governor Morgan and Mr. Cornell
ran hold their forces IN compact column entirely sinh
ject to their will
