One Ticket that Suggests Itself 10 = Combina-
tion OF Republicans.

ALBANY, April 22-Governor-making Is
one Of the chief topics attracting the attention
of the Jaw makers. II one may Judge from the
amount Of talk and political saRaclty devoted
to the question daily. This is in no small
degree due to the fact that there are ut least q
dozen possible candidates in the two Houses
that is in their own judgment-and 1t Is Of
course natural that they should talk most Of
what they most think about The bringing for
ward Of the name OF Don Hamilton Fish AZ n
candidate. at the same time that Grant is being
so vigorously pushed by the stalwarts for
third term has had the same effect upon these
candidates rs the shaking Of red flag in the
face Of q mad bull. They see in 1t n determine
ton to test the strength OF the third-term
movement in the State before the Con-
venlion to choose delegates to the National
Convention is held and each aud every
candidate and his friends are now bel
lowing themselves hoarse in protesting
that they are and always have been Grant men.
But this alarm is not confined to the aspirants
in the Legislature. There are others outside
who aro as anxious to do the State service in
the Executive chair. and within the last week
there has been n sort of informal consultation.
and an effort to agree upon an entire Stnte
ticket with u determination 10 begin at once
working up n sentiment in its favor. At this
cons ultation il was decided first that out and
out Grant man should be placed at the head OF
heticket secondly. the business and reform
element should be conspicuOusly represented :
and thirdly that there should bc union Of all
tho factions in order that there might be no dis
cord in the ranks and n solid party vote secured
for the ticket. With this understanding the
following ticket. subject, however To the np-
proyal of another and larger consultation to be
held in a few weeks, was agreed upon:
For Goyernor-Alonzo Cornell Of New York
For IL ucnantGoyernor.Geor b Sloan Of oswogo
For secretary OF sar-wcs :. Dickinson Of Franklin
For observation-disclosures b. Brewer OF Chaumuqua.
No stronger or better Grant man can be found
In the State than A. B. Cornell. George B. Sloan
is the most conspicuous representative Of that
element in the Republican party which has Of
late years manifested n disposition to rebel
against the dictation Of the party leaders and to
dispute the right Of the men who run the
machine TO parcel out all the offices and patron-
are Of the State. II is this element which. with
Sloan rs it, leader. gave the machine such n
hard tussle a. the organ zation OF the Legisla-
ture in the fight for the Speakership. and has
ever since absolutely controlled the Assembly.
Henry A. Gldden IS machine man OF the most
pronounced type. unknown TO fame before this
winter except MS Clerk OF the Senate and also Of
the Republican state Committee. But last fail
Orleans County sent hun to the Legsi ature. and
he has blossomed out ms a full hedged economist
and reformor. He was the father Of the bill TO
reduce the snnries OF ali the State officials and
employees, which was slaughtered in the Sem
ate by Pomeroy. Harris, Robertson x Co. He is
said to have made much popularity throughout
the State this winter with this measure. which
has suggested his name Tor the Com Dtrolership y.
Ex-senator Wells y; Dickinson is pro-
| t6e6 OF William A. Wheeler's. whose name
will be- a tower Of strength among the adj
niirers of the do facto President and Ni"e-
| President Mathew $. Hale OF Albany has a
wide reputation as a lawyer. and ns he has not
| taken n very active part in politics. he has not
| antngonized either OF the factions. and IL is
| Thought ne would add TO the strength Of the
! ticket with that element which does not admire
| professional politicians. Dr. Brewer OF Chau-
tauqua is put AT the tail Of the list in compliment
| to what there is left OF the Liberal Republican
element.
| Whether this will be the ticket or not 1t is Of
! some interest rs being among the first that has
| been constructed. and rs showing a disposi tion
| among some OF the strongest men in the Re-
! publican party to rebel against the project 10
| bring forward the name Of Don Hamilton Fish.
| Ii will now be in order for Senators Pomoroy
| Harris. Robertson. and Sloan 10 get up tickets
| each with his name at the head. Besides Frank
| Hiscock and his admirers will undoubtedly
have something to say before the books are
| closed.
