WHAT Mr. ABBETI's WITHDRAWAL MEANS.
There is an evident determination TO make tght
10 WIN. This hopeful temper has been so manifest
of late that the Democrats have become seriously
alarmed. As a proof of this it is whispered among
the well informed that Leon Albeit the leading
Democratic candidate, will formally withdraw
Tomorrow The State House managers have
been crowding him hard with Orestes clevelandj
and Mr.. Albeit, seeing that 1t would cost good
deal TO win the nomination. and that his chance Of
beng elected is slender. has resigned in faycr of
rx-Senntor Ludlow. This means that Mr.. Albeit
WISHES to escape defeat and at the same time 6eat
Mr. Cleveland, the State House candidate. It's
also a notice that if the Democrats secure the Leg
islnture which is hardly possible. Mr. Albeit Will
make hot fight with Mr.. Randolph for the Sena-
toIsbip. OF course Mr. Albeit has eXacted pledge
from his candidate for Governor 70 aid him III tins
fight, and this precIptates deadly quarrei among
the Democratic brethren. When Mr.. Abbetts let
Ter appears 1t will create some consternation
