THE STATE CONTENTION CALLED TO
MEET IN ALB1NY OCT 3.
The Current OF Opinion Tending Toward n
New Ticket In whole or In Part-Bigeiow
and FairchiId Most Likely to he Left OF

ALBANY, Sept. 1.-THE meeting OF the
Democratic State Committee. to-day. was quite
harmonious. There was some diversity OF
opinion as to the place and the tmc for the as
sembling OF tho State Convention. particularly
the former. think the selection Of Albany in
stead OF Syracuse has no significance whatever
In respect to the nomination of n new or the old
State ticket. II Is within my own knowledge
that some OF the committee who voted for
Albany as the place for the meeting OF the Con-
ventlon are very earnest In their advocacy OF
the policy Of nominating n new ticket. The Sc
lection OF Oct. over Sept. 27 as tho day for
holding tho Convention has not the slightest
bearing whatever upon the subject Of placing
new ticket or the old ticket in the field.
And now MS to that question. A large number
Of prominent Democrats from all parts OF the
State have been hero to-day. and there Is q
great diversity Of opinion among them as TO the
policy of nominating a new list OF candidates
for the State Offices this fall or renominating
tho present incumbents. Judging from the
tenor OF the discussions here infer that tho
current Of Democratic opinion in the State does
not set with Irresistible force in either direction
but believe 1t tends rather toward n new ticket
in whole or part. Indeed. shall not be sur
triscd to see tho State Convention nominate
part Of the present incumbents and fill up
the rest OF the ticket with new names. Tho
persons spoken OF hero as most likely
to be left of the ticket by tho Convcn-
ton are Mr.. Bigelow. the Secretary OF State.
and Mr.. Fairchild. the Attorney General. All
these specuations must however. be received
with many grains OF allowance. A good deal OF
heat and acrmony seem TO enter into the dis
cussion Of this subject. both here and through
out the State. 1t Is proper to say that Gov. Rob-
- III.
ination Of all the present State officers II need
not be added that he places this support on high
and patriotic grounds. 1t is confidently assert
ed by those who have access TO all the Demo-
cratic newspapers in the State that very de-
cided majority of those newspapers advocate
the nomination Of new ticket. Others insist
that majority OF the Democratic newspapers
are in favor Of renominating at least a part Of
the present State officers.
The possibility that there may be new State
ticket has brought quito little army Of aspirants
into the field. / think it hardly worth while to
give list OF their names. They will all be
pretty sure 10 put in, IN appearance at the State
Convention. whore they can be duly citalogued.
Tho best thing for the masses Of the Democracy
To do il to take special pains to send able. wse.
and honest delegates 10 their state Convention.
