conspicuous In the fight against the old ticket ana
who see what folly 1t would be to nominate Alien "
Beach Clarkson n. Potter and Erastus BROOKS
are said to be strongly opposed TO MI
Beachs nomination. MIR. Beach, however, Is
disposed to stick. lie is trying hard 10

1t will serve to show how the spirits of the canal
faction have revived in single day-for they were
by no means confident. yesterday-to say that 1t
has actually been proposed 10 nominate for Attor-
ney-General, Judge Geo f. Comstock. of Syracuse,
one of Denison & Belden's lawyers, an intimate
personal friend Of Willard Johnson and once one OF

him suit for fees. Ii was stated during the evening
by delegate who had excellent opportunities ior
knowing that it proposed by the canai iing
to nominate Mr.. Beach and Judge Com
stock, and that members OF Tammany were
favorably disposed to the idea. 1t was even
said that this is Judge Churchs wish. AS

said tonight that there worse things than de-
feat. meaning il is understood, that defeat at the
polls is better than the voluntary surrender OF inc
marty organization into corrupt hands. The IIlden
men naturally predict for the ticket, II II

the action of the Democratic and not of the
ReDubhcan party. 1t will be seen that the
old corrupt rings have resumed control OF
the Democratic party; the Independent vote
which Tilden attracted will be driven back to the
Republican party and on the question whether the
canal ring will be allowed to resume possession OF
the State Government the Republican party VIII
