Special Correspondence cjt Le Union.
The game for the State Offices Is pretty nearly
played out. IL was ''pull Dick, pull Devil" be-
tween Gov. Hamilton and the old Democratic
leaders. II Is hard 10 say whether he has most
hate or distrust for them. They regard him
laundering. selfwilled, bitter and impracticable.
The outcome Of the game appears to be that they
have taken two tricks for his one. lie supposed
that he was dofcrring somewhat to the wishes Of
members Of the Legislature and delegations Of
citizens, but that the nominees at least nou-
trail as between him and the Ring. lie will End
out by and by that the devoted hcnchmen Of the
Ring or neutrals have got the best places and that
the Hamilton men will have poor fodder in the
Offices that they get.
