PUBLIC SENTIMENT RoCHEsTER-THE CANAL RING
II public sentiment is to be measured by the
pressions OF politicians with whom / conversed in

| ARRIVED.
1t was expected that several leading democratic
antTilden politicians would arrive here to night FOR
the purpose of comforting with Chairman Purcell
and others of that wing OF the party the best
course to pursue at the State Committee meeting of
Friday. They did not put in an appearance up to a
late hour. and it is presumed that the important
caucus will be held at Niagara Falls. a

cautious hesitate to express positive opinion
one way or the other. The story that Church
has positively consented to be candidate in certain
contingencies is disbelieved in Rochester. That no

with all the contondng elements united IN his favor,
there seems TO be no doubt but the lildcn men

condition of affairs arise. They base their asser-
tions on the absolute necessity tor nominating u
Gubcrnatorial candidate identified with the policy

They further argue that IL would now be suicidal to
take the back track in this Convention They point
to the aggressive warfare made upon Judge Church
in 1874 and tho famous interview published with
Comptroller Kelly. in which the Tammany leader
then handled the Chief Justice without gloves.
Such a somcrsault the Rochester Tildenites now
assert would ruin .heir chances of success before
the people in the next state and national election
The tact too that Judge Church would be compelled

afford to be defeated after sacrificing Influential
judicial position OF great honor aud trust.
