NEW YORK AND THE NEXT PRESI-
DENCY.

The Empire State is to be regarded az the
most important factor in the next Presidential!
struggle. The Herald thinks that the Repub-
lcan party there will be strongly united, sink
ing all petty differences and moving toward
full and decisive victory. "Neither MIR. Conk-
ling nor Mr. Hayes has any thought of being
Presidential candidate, and the former hav-
ing Won the Senatorship by most resplend
ent victory and the latter having gained con-
troll of the Custom House In manner which
Is more gratifying because it was hardly ex
pected both will be disposed to rest upon
their laurels Nobody doubts that Senator
Conkling will be a strenuous supporter of
General Grant, and he will do nothing to
obstruct the success of the Republican party
in this State. All the sharp battles of the
last two years have been decided in one way
or another, and there is no longer much to
fight about between Conkling and the Admin
istration The election of General Grant
would consolidate Mr. Conkling's influence in
the State and restore him to whatever control
of the federal patronage he might desire. 1t
il certain that his great influence will be ex-
erted in the interest of Republican harmony.
He will make no difficulties about candidates
in the State Convention, and, let the ticket
be composed as it may, he will be one of the
most untiring canvassers and speechmakers in
its support. We suppose the Republican
members of the Legislature are not mistaken
in the expectation that their party will go into
the State canvass next fall as compact and
thoroughly united phalanx.' And looking
upon recent events in and about Tammany
Hall and the control of the municipality we
are told that the disturbing elements of the
Democratic party of the State may not be so
perfectly hushed The old rancor and bitter
ness between the Tilden and anti -Tilden fac
tions Is at bottom quite AS venomous ever,
but Mr. Tilden holds the whiphand, in conse-
quence of the humiliatng rout of the Demo
cratic party, both i'll the city and the State,
after it broke loose from his control last
autumn. The Tilden faction seemed to sue
coed in the vigorous struggle in the State

the State Committee met in the city, the Kelly
faction bought over members enough to give
them the organization. 1t was "a barren
sceptre in their grippe. They lost the State
and the city and suffered one of the most over
whelming defeats by which a political party
was ever engulfed That portion of the anti
Tilden faction who are not desperate enough
to let the party go by default will hesitate to
renew the tight this year. Mr.. KelIys speech
at the Lotos Club, in which he spoke in such
complimentary terms of Mayor Cooper, was
a striking recognition of the urgent need of
harmony i'll the Democratic party. What is
still more significant was the article in one of
lis local organs pronouncing full verdict of
acqnittal in favor of Mr. Tilden after he had
given his testimony before Dir. Hunton's sub
committee. Mr. Kelly perceives that the
quarrel can not oe perpetuated without de
stroying all hope of carry ny the State for the
Democratic party in the fall election, and with
it all hope OF electing Democratic President
next year. These tokens of submission give
\ great advantage to Mr. Tilden, who will
probably succeed in controlling the State
Convention.
