The Situation in New York.

Secretary Folger has at last accepted the
Republican nomination for Governor of
New York, and presented his letter of ac-
ceptance. About one-half of his letter is
a discussion of Che duty and propriety Of
his acceptance, and consideration of the
disaffection the mode of his nomination
caused, and the consequences of a declina-
ton. Mr.. Folger plainly acknowledges
that the means of his nomination were not
fair nor just that the outlook for Repub-
can success is not encouraging, and that he
would not accept the nomination were ii
physically possible to assemble another
convention before the election. Besides
he does not believe that any other candi-
date would heal dissensions better than
himself. The first half of his letter is as
doleful as funeral grafton. The latter
half pretends to take more hopeful view
and he trusts that the direful effects of a
Democratic victory in the state and through
out the country will spur the Republican
party to united action.
Hon. A. B. Hepburn, the Republican
nominee for Congressman-at-large, cannot
see glimmer of hope. He was In a confer
ence with Secretary Folger, B. Platt Car
penter. candidate for observation-disclosures,
and others on Tuesday. All, except Mr..
Carpenter, admitted that the situation was
serious. Mr.. Carpenter could not under
stand that there was any outbreak against
the nominations. There were some news
papers that were disaffected, he said, but
'sthey could be made straight" After a
full discussion it was decided that the ticket
nominated should stand, as the best course
under the circumstances. Mr. Hepburn
thought differently, and wrote letter de-
clining the nomination for Congressman
at-large. f.l asa II l...
Thus, indeed, are Republican prospects
in New York of disencouraging charac-
ter. With a partial ticket in the field !;
with admitted fraud and forgery as impor-
tant factors in its nomination with infuen-
tial Republican newspapers and leaders op-
posed to the ticket; with whole Republican
clubs in open rebellion, the situation is
gloomy and disheartening
The Democrats, on the other hand, are
aroused and enthusiastic, and for the first
time since 1877, the Democratic party is
united. The name Of Grover Cleveland,
and his splendid reputation as reformer,
have inspired the party everywhere, and the
other Democratic nominations, especially
that of Gen. Slocum, for Congressman-at-
large, have added to the popularity of the
ticket. Added to this, Republicans every
where are announcing their intention to
support the Democratic ticket. u-

The government at Washington is run
ming itself, and has been for some weeks.
A few days agoneither the President nor a
cabinet officer were in Washington, nor
any of the chief assistants. All were gone,
and clerks were conducting affairs. The
President in the beginning of the week was
up in the northeastern part of New York,
some miles away from railroad or telegraph,
and the cabinet was scattered to the four
winds. One was in New York city, more
interested in his candidacy for the COVER
norship of New York than in government
affairs In August and September the
President and the Secretary of the Navy
were having pleasure cruise in govern
ment vessels.
