the state, and when the campaign op-
ems In earnest these voters are to s.
flooded with 'documents'' prepared
under the direction Of Mr.. Tflden
himself. Mr.. Tilden, through his
agents, proposes to wage an aggressive
campaign this fall, believing that the
the people will altogether lose sight Of
the blunderings and shortcomings Of
the Democracy In pursuing the blum.
behring's and shortcomings Of the Re.
publicans, both In congress and in the
legislature at Albany.
A victory In the state this fall il be.
lieved by Mr.. ridden to be the forerun-
ner Of victory in the next presidential
contest.
Mr.. Tilden's state committee has
agreed that the Hon. VIM. Purcell,
editor Of the Rochester Union, shall
be the Democratic candidate for SEQ
rotary Of state this fall. Mr.. Purcell
has all along been
THE MOST VIGOROUS ANTI-TILDEN
EDITOR IN THE STATE.
On every occasion when opportuni-
ty offered he has hit the statesman Of
Of Gramercy park hard knocks; and
has been known "a the strong person.
al and political friend of John Kelley.
In every state convention Mr.. Purcell
has been classed with the anti-Tilden
faction Of his party. He is q strong VIII.
ter and yields . powerful influence In
bis part of the state. His selection q
the Democratic candidate for secre-
tary Of State will, of course
transform him into neutral polite
ian, to say the least, and silence his
attacks upon the Tilden wing of the
party. Mr.. Purcell is anxious to have
the state convention held in ROches-
ter. and II may be that his wishes will
be complied with by the state COM
mittee, but probably they will not be
in this respect, a. Saratoga or Albany
are already agreed upon by the Man
ming regime.
The state committee, acting under
the direction of Mr.. Tilden, has decid- |
ed TO harmonic the factions in Onon.
daga and Central New York BY the
nomination for Judge of the court of
appeals of the Hon. William C.. Ru.
ger, of Syracuse Mr.. Kruger has al |
ways opposed the Tilden faction, and
has always been opposed by il. This |
nomination for judge of the court of |
appeals is to be another "sop" thrown
to the anti-Tilden faction in the state
by the Tilden state committee and all |
this in the interest of harmony.
Judge Bradley, late Democratic |
nominee for judge of the court of APP
peais, is to be given the nomination |
for attorney general in order to pacify |
him and remove him from Mr.. Rug |
er's track. Bradley has always been
violent Tilden man. But the nam
ing of all candidates will rest with the |
state committee. Mr.. Manning al
ready knows who every delegate will |
be outside of the city of New York.
and the work of ratifying the behests
of the machine" i'm the state conyen-
ton will be simple one.
OF course, all this Is predicted upon
the success of the plans of the state
and IL Is not easy TO SEE
how this is 10 he thwarted Every
who is to be delegate tc
tn. state convention has already been
with, and many of them
have been summoned to ALBANY to
receive their instructions. Many OF
the leading Democrats here laugh al
the idea that Mr. Tilden is working
i'm the manner as above set forth. One
Of them said to day: off Mr.. Tilden
is making any such calculation he
will make
ANOTHER MISERABLE FAILURE.
In the first place he does not con.
troll the state committee, and therefore
IS not in a position to bride the anti
Tildcn men by good places on the
ticket. There has been no
slate made up, and even if his man
were to he nominated and elected for
Inc position Of secretary of state this
year, Mr.. Tilden's chances of receiv-
ng the nomination for governor next
year are not as good as mine are, for
he Democrats do not want to put up
| man for any Office who, when he
vas righfully elected to the highest
'ffice in the gift of the people did not
nave backbone enough to assert his
lights. Even if he should by some
levice secure the nomination next
'ear by any wing or faction in the
1arty, although am not an admirer ,
# Mr.. Kelley, or his methods, / would
'Ote against Mr.. Tilden every time.
md there are enough Democrats in
his state of the same way of think
ng to completely drown him and his
action at the polls.
