who will be in just the mood to bolt If Mr.. Conkling
is nominated by the caucus. As matters now
stand they would not dare to do it because they
would not be sustained by public sentiment in the
Republican party at home. All that would be nee
essary to make such bolt possible would be row
in the party by which the nti-Conkling people in
few Assembly Districts should be made angry and
thus educated up to the point where they would
sustain their representatives in repudiating the
ton of the caucus Mr.. COnklfng and his friends
need to exercise great deal Of tact if they hope to
succeed. The opposition to him is greater than any
he has recently had to encounter. Whether IL is
a dangerous one OF not depends in great measure
upon the course the Senator himself pursues."
II suppose Mr.. Hiscock will be renOminated," re-
marked THE TRIBUNE correspondent, changing the
subject.
Undoubtedly" was the reply. "There is a sort
of unwntten law in our district that Representa-
tive who has served acceptably one term shall be
reelected. Mr.. Hiscock is stronger in the district
to-day than he ever was, and you know that he has
always been popular. 1 have heard that he would
prefer to retire from public life, but he will be nom
mated by reclamation and will accept. His constit-
uents have been very much gratified with his
course on the Potter Committee"
Syracuse Is a sort of headquarters for the Ma
tional movement" observed. "You have JUNO

"Only in the city. The leaders of the new party
are made up of two classes of men-those who have
been unfortunate in business or are suffering from
the present depression, and those who hope to get
some office through the new organization. The
first class comprises honest men of both of the old
politicaI parties who simply think that change
would bring relief, and that at any rate
they could not be worse of than they llyy
now are. They have not lett tneH Olu
party associations permanently, and many
of them NAV be won back Then there are lot 81
chronic office-seekers who are cOquettng with the
Nationals, hoping that they may gam position; Al
ter the nominations are made they will be as likely

Those who will actually vote the National ticket
are mostly political tramps. They are men who may

what of the Democratic party OF OnOndaga
County, Is il well organized . m
''On the contrary, 1T is badly disOrganized. The
Tilden men and those who are opposed to him are
about evenly divided. The faction that controls
the State Convention Will probably control the
party machinery with us"
The conversation closed with an expression OF
opinion by the gentleman who has been so freely
auoted above that the outlook for the Republican
party was anything but gloomy, and that the only
requisite for success was unity. Send the grum-
pliers to the rear and shall certainly carry the
