Then Homer A. Nelson, Judge Sawyer. of st. Law
renee county; Judge Westbrook and Anasa j. Parker
have been spoken OF. Church, OF course, stands as
high as any democrat in the State and Dorsheimer
has made himself well known and popular within a
few years. These men have the magnetism that
Robinson lacks and have made such enc
mics as he has. Robinson, under the cir
cumstance of divisions prevailing to such
an extent in the snc party in NJ, this sc county.
not possibly hope to get the nomination when
there are so many other men available. In this
county the opposition to Robnsons getting the
nomination is OF uncompromisng kind and il
it be the in the other places mentioned can't
see that there Is much show for man who already
strs up such widespread opposition. If We get the
right class of delegates to the Convention there
may be no trouble in selecting that will

but his nomination believe to be Impossible
Mr.. Robert IL. Waterman ex-City Chamberlain. is
one OF the new General Committee who is not recon-
cied to the notion OF Governor Robinsons being re-
nominated. II believe in having" said he "a genu-
inc thorough going democrat for our nominee, not
man who hillyshallys with the principles of tho
party. The reason don't want Robinson is be-
cause we have no faith in his democracy
Mr.. Nathaniel J.. Moak, ex-District Attorney and
chairman of the new general committee, is one Of
the live, red hot democrats OF Albany. ''we don't
been fooled too long by that class men.
What have they done for the party? We want live
aggressive leaders that will go to the front and
sert democratic principles"
THE REPUBLICAN SPLIT.
While the division OF the democratic party in this
county appears to be serious, the republican organ
ization is split after the fashion into Conkiing
and anti-ConklnS men. John +. Smyth is ut the
head OF the Conking republicans but the anti
Conkng crowd musters some strong names, among
them being Matthew Hale, partner of Judge Hand;
Judge Countrynan, Lemon Thompson aud Con-
gressman Bailey. The fcud III the republican ranks
is by no bitter ii is in the democratic.
and unlikely to lead to serious results.
Senator Hamilton Harris found at home
taking the warm weather easy in his shirt sleeves.
Speaking of the prospects of the republican party in
the fall he said 1.-THE difference between the two
parties Is that the democratic is bitter in its
dissensions than the republican. Its feuds are per-
sonal and rancorous and survive while with repub-
licans though they may have their preferences for
this man or that and may be warm in supporting
him. yet the moment the Convention makes a
nomination that ends it and all pull together in
direction. This is one advantage the republicans
have. Cornell has ardent supporters, and so has
Pomeroy and Starin and Robertson. but no matter
which of them is nominated the party will vote for
him like one In the democratic party bolts
traditional. They bolt right here in this county
where they have majority OF $500 votes. If they
did not do so should hardly have been elected to
the Senate.
''who do you think will get the republican nomi.
''well. if tho machine works right why Cornell;
i not. Judge Robertson or perhaps Pomeroy.'
'How about Sloan and Starin?'
'.Soan, of course. is out Of the question, as he
won't run; but II he did he might break the machine
and be elected. Starn, see. has been mentioned,
it lies between Cornell and Robertson, who two
very different men. one being somewhat Of quiet
retiring dispositions good man. though not likely
to set the fire; the other able. aggressive
man, skilled in politics and popular with all who
know him."
''Do you apprehend the democrats will nominate
Robinson?"
''They hardly do anything else. He is stronger
than any other democrat with the country people,
and he has been pretty careful man all along"

John II. Starin was much talked of in certain parts

chances in favor Of Cornell but there may be dark

On the whole the state of politics in Albany Is not
agreeable to ponder on. The brethren on neither
