"Will the denomination OF Senator Mccarthy for
q thru term lose him any votes -" No. ! think
not do not know of any Senator in this district
being nominated for a third term before. The con-
vcntion which nominated him was a very full and
representative one. No unusual effort was made
TO my knowledge 10 control it, and no
patronage attaches TO the Office and yet Mi.
Mccarthy had two-thirGs of the delegates. lbs
nomination was the result of a belief that he has
made an honest, faithful legislator, and should be
continued in Office. Under such circumstances lac
must poll a Iull vote. The nominations for County
Clerk Sheriff and Surrogate are satisfactory, and
there Is every Indication that the whole Republican,
ticket will get a full majority in this county and
district"
Soon after holding the above conversation with
| CONGRESSMAN Hscock met Speaker Alvord az the
| Vanderbilt House where he was cOnveTslng with
Assemblyman Grady and other fammany pOliti-
clans When asked what he thought of the result he
replied: "There is poss bility ofOnly result in

at least 600 votes for Cornell This was not

stepped into the large dryeoods store OF Senator
Dennis Mccarthy, and found him buslly employed
about his establishment. In reply TO inquiries
about the canvass he said: "Ihere il no doubt that

$500 majority. There will be a larger Republican
vote poed here for Cornell and the Republican
ticket than i'm previous election for the last five
