New-York tribune., 1879-09-03

of New-York. Neither side could make any objec;-
ton to either of these names but Mr. Corners
friends smile at the suggestion of these names or
any Others, and manifest the most serene confidence
| In his nomination on the first ballot.
II ought to be added here that so far rs the I'M
preston may have been given the public that the
Cornell campaign was one Of buster snd paraue y
has been mlsreprescnted 1t has Deen a careiul
campaign and great deal of hard work bas oeen
done, but 1t is one of the qnletest cam
paigns of the kind on record. n, Another UNrr
thing to be noted respecting MI. MT, o,ons To,,
are ready to give any figures respecting tpe vote
they command. All such estimates are i,abie 10
error of course, and tho opposition insist that M.
Cornelrs friends have either been grossly deceVea
respecting some of the votes which they are claim
ing. or arc guilty of false pretences. But there
seemstO be errors in the claims OF tie oppoS'ioh
also.
OPPOSITION GOSSIP.
Congressman Warner Miller arrived tonight, and
was urged IL Is understood. to organize the oppos-
tion but there is no indication that he intends TO
sound charge when the battle seems already lost.
There is a good deal of curiosity to the attitude
of the Oswego delegation. 1t is thought by some
that the vote of this delegation together with that
from Onondaga, in case Congressman Hiscock Is
withdrawn would have very important effect IN
the convention. George b. Sloan. the recognized
leader of the Oswego delegation, has preserved
strict reticence with respect to his position and
at midnight tonight the delegates wero still in Sc
crct conference.
The arrival of numerous marked copies of a New
York commercial paper, containing an editorial
urging Mr.. Sloan for Governor added much 70 the
gossip which was already aiioat, that the Oswego
delegation hoped TO see him taken up as cOmpro-
mise candidate.
SEVERAL NEW CANDIDATES.
Several new candidates for the subordinate places
on the ticket have appeared The candidates for
Lieutenant Governor are yet, however, only three
in number, namely, George g. Haskns, of wv
oming; Charles ID. Parsons, of Monroe. and Samuel
:. Edick, of Otsego. Apparently Mr. 1Iaskins has
secured thus far tie most supporters. His success
is greatly due to the fact that lie here several
days ago ard has been able to obtain the votes Of
those delegates who arrived early in the place Mr.
Parsons and Mr. Edick did not reach here until to-
day and will have to labor hard to their lost
ground.
Two men arc named for Controller One is Calvin
T. Hurburd OF st. Lawrence and the other is ex-
Congressman John c. Churchill. of Oswego. The
Oswego delegation, nevertheless. have been in
structed TO push Mr.. Churchill for Secretary OF
State. This is Office for which Mr. Churchill re-
ceived the nomination of the Republican State Con-
vention in 1876, but he was defeated by Allen c.
Beach, the Democratic candidate. An attempt Is
being made to persuade Mr. ChurchlPs friends to
abandon their attempt TO ren0mlnate HIM for the
Office and to accept support for him for the Office of
Controller 1t is argued that this would be the
most polite to take IN view of Mr.. Church
Ills former defeat.
There are now several candidates for Attorney
General. 1t is reported that the Kings County del
egation may present the name OF Erastus Cook. a
lawyer of Brooklyn. for the position. Brooklyn has
another candidate in the person of John Is. Ill.,
Colonel A. II. Tanner. of Whitehall. is named for
the place. Hamilton Ward, of Allegheny County, is
yet the leading candidate.
II would seem that the nomination for Secretary
of State would be given either to Mr.. Hepburn. of
st. Lawrence County, or to General Joseph B. Carr
of Rensselaer, County. 1t is reported that Mr. Hep
burn has tho support Of the Erie County delega-
ton, of most of the delegates along tho South
ern Tier of counties, and of several counties
in the northern part of the State. In General
Carr's favor Ii argued that he is a soldier and
that some place the ticket is due the soldiers OF
the State. There seems to be general desire To
have some representative of the soldier element on
the icket. General Carr has many friends here

AN EXTRAORDINARY RUSH.
The number of arrivals to-day very great.
The afternoon tram from the West alone con-
