hcan way; and if the Garfield men should do any,
thing to irrtate them it would be the worst thing
possible. The Convention is perhaps the most i'm
portant one that has ever been held, inasmuch as
the result will be of so much National importance.
If there is struggle an issue would be forced with
the President at once. This we all want to keep
from"
In speaking of the probable candidates for Char
mar Mr.. Lvnde said that either Congressman HIS
cock or Chauncev NJ. Depew would make gocd OH

said that the delegates from ST. LawPence County
hoped TO nominate Leslie w. Russell, because
they believe that it would give strength 10 the
ticket.
Utica Herald sad: Il think there will be harmony
III the Convention, because the Garfield Repuoh-
cans unqnestiOnably have a majority. rms Deihg
the case, the Stalwarts will yield gracefully TO tne
will Of the majority. Therefore think the fears or
bolt are grouudless. One of the important results
Of the Convention will be the reorganization OF the
State Committee. Il it proves that the antl,Sa-
tonably organize the State Committee.
CONGRESSMAN DUELTs VIEWS.
Ex-Congressman Duell, of Cortland County a
prominent hStalwart, said: Judging from what
isssad by those with whom have talkedofboth fac
TONS he Convention will be harmonious, at least 1t
is hoped here is questionthat the antl-Conk-
ling men have majority of about 100 delegates
ana that will give them control. Owing to THIS
Contested seats that there otherwise would have
been. hope there will not be strife over the selec
tlon of a temporary chairman. / have not heard
any names mentioned for the chaiTnanShlp. III Is
rumored that a conference Of the oppOsua delegates
will be held for the purpose of coming TO an agree
ment in this question. For my part | believe

WHAT SEVERAL STATE SENATOR'S SAY.
Ex-State Senator Dooittle, of OSwego, was at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, and IN talking about the Con-
vention. hc said / like the leader III this morn
ing's TRIBUNE, because think it just strikes the
kcy-note lam an anti-Conkling man, and think
that il is the general sentiment among the people on
my side f the house to have the Convention con,
du ted Ueaccably and quietly. Wewant harmony md
Cancellation for the benefit OF the party. We want
to give the hcarteSt support To President Arthur
Administration. deny that We are carrying around
the Shroud Of dead President for political purposes
But at the same time We do not want Mr. tOnkllng
to control the party in thsSt te when the represen-
tatives of the people refuse to return hlm to the
Senate. The Coukling men have said that there
would be harmony In the Convention unless the
laf-breeds stirred mp strife. Now, we say the same
thing II they behave themselves CeIld we WILL
don't believe that the anti-Conkling men have any
desire to provoke a fight with the eX-Sena or, es-
pecially if he docs not attend the Convention. |
am informed that he VII not 6e present ana VII III

the case. | think can predict harmony and quiet
ness in all the proceedings. think that it would be
unWise on our part to attack Mr.. Conking unneces-
sarily and don't believe that il W i'll be done. The
Convention should be conducted on the fuuda-
mental principle which governs every assembly
the majority should rule. 1t is settled that
: tia al -hrpn n al
gates don't believe the Conkling men would dare
tp change the complexion of the Convention. llay-
ing the controlof the state COMMITTEE they may adj
mt some contcsting delegations which should prep
crly be excluded but don't think that the number
will be great enough to change the majority to their
side In my opinion, the Conklng men are not SO
strong as they imagine because they think that all
of President Arthurs supporters are followers OF
Mr. COnklng. That is not so. Many members who
were firm adhcrenls OF Mr.. ConkIlng some time ago
have abandoned him now, but they strongly support
the President. know nothing about the officers OF
the Convention OF the proposed candidates: don't
believe that they will cause much trouble"
Senator LOOms, of Wyoming County, said: L
believe that harmony will prevail in all the proceed
ings | see no reason for a division. There Is no
measure To come up which will affect either side
of the house very much. There may be struggle
over the officers but IT ought not to result III n
row. Nh COnkling's friends announce that he Is
going to stay at home, md tnat he will create no
disturbance Therefore | reason why we
should not all be amiable and good,natured. i
think that the only opportunity for division VIII
occur III the admission of delegations. thlnk tEat
either side will display very bad policy in attempt
ing TO ostracisc the other. Ii would be wisdom
for each side TO give n fair show TO the other.
Senator Wagner said " | see no reason why the
Convention should not be conducted harmom0usly.
The anti-C Conking men have majority of the dele
Gates and think that the majority should be re-
spccted. There will be no trouble unless the Co; k
ling men make it. believe. though,
tbaf the Halfbreeds should control the
Cnnventlon and should have majority
OF the next State Committee. There is no disposi-
ton to crush Mr. Conkling or to act unfairly with
his followers"
Ex-Marshal L. +. Payn said that he thought the
proceedings would be conducted fairly and quietly.
If was wise to do anything for the benefit of the
marty 1t was necessary to elect the ticket aud un
less harmony prevailed there was no telling what
division might occur i'll the ranks. lie thought that
tbe Hal breeds exaCgcrate their claims and their
standing in the Convention.
