certainly 10 the interest of every section TO have
the ticket elected. Ii is very strong ticket and
everybody that have talked with about it has
spoken well oft. | consider that Mr.. Davenport
will make as good n Controller as Mr.. "ads-
worth, and that saving great deal. for Mt
Wadsworth has been good a Controller
as anybody within my memory. The pros

ceedingly encourag ng As to the management OF
the campaign. think that everything will uo
done by the State Committee TO promote the best
interests of the party and complete harmony
The agitation of the question of the
reorganization Of the associations IN this city and
Brooklyn too, will have n beneficial effect. | have
no doubt it will make them more liberal in their in

MR.. CoSKLING OUT or POLITICS.
A. b. johnson. Of Utica. who was regarded as the
persoual representative of ex-senator COnkliug on
the State Commtte of 1880 in answer 20 questions
about his opinion Of the Convention, SAID: :"
never attended party convention where there was
apparently more desire TO have the proceedings on
tircly harmonious. The ticket is one that can be
supported by all Republicans, and it will probably
receive the full party vote"
"Wil Mr.. Conkling work for tho ticket nominated
yesterdayT
mfr Conking is ont OF politics; retired first hy
the Legislature and now apparently by the party.
He will remain out Of politics at least until recalled
by the party"

for division in the new committee. They will all
work together. should think the Iialf-hrccds had

the party desired 10 WIN in the contest this all
Police Justice Jacob NJ. Patterson said: The
ticket is one that we can all support. The can
didates were most of them nominated by our
votes and the county organization will do
hard work for the ticket, as it always does
The real contest was not over candidates,
but reorganization. The endcayor of certain men to
reorganize the party for their own personal ends

THE PARTY UNITED.
Senator Robert II. Strahan said " | think that
the ticket is a good one and will be elected. Both
sides will work heartily for it. In fact, there is
only one side now. We can talk and fight and have
as many sides as we want before a convention, but
when the convention Is over the fighting is, too.
But there was really no disturbance in the COnyen

reorpaniza ton of the party here created dis
cussion and dispute but | think II was wise not to
disturb the party now. If an effort made to
change the existing order Of things before the
election there is no telling what disaster
might result from it. think that there
will be good deal of dis'enson among
