ALBANY March 25.-Ex- Governor Cornell sug-
| gests, it is SAID, that q council of leading
| Republicans be held at Saratoga in June
with view Of bringing about united action
at the polls by Republicans when the State election
takes place IN the fall. Care 1t is asserted will be
taken to have present at the conference representa-
tives of every Republican faction in order that its
conclusions may be supported afterward By the
party as a whole. Some inquiry has already been
made, 1t wonld appear among the Republican State
Senators in regard to the representative men of each
faction in the several counties composing their dis
ricts, with tho intention of issuing invitations to
them to be present at the conference.
1t may be said that this effort OF Ex-Governor Cor
nell TO bring about concord among Republicans
is not isolated one. For several weeks
past Republican newspapers in the interior Of
the State have been discussing in friendly spirit
the methods bv which party union may be secured.
Among the Republican members of the Legislature
also the matter Is becoming q leading subject Of
conversation 1t is felt that the Republican party
has a fgh ing chancen at the fall election, owing
to the unpopular course of the Democratic Governor
aud Democratic Legislature. The creation and
grabbing OF Offices, the attacks upon the system
by which tho prisons have been made self
sustaining, the neglect to reform the
taxation laws. the attempts to backmail
the insurance companies, the partisan appointments
all these acts. it il believed have made the Demo-
cratic party detested by thousands of voters who
last fall gave its candidates their support. The
Republican members Of the Legislature will issue
address to the voters of the State at the cad of
the session, describing in detail the acts of the
Democratic Governor ana Legislature.
Moreover. it is thought that the conditions for
a union of Republicans are unusually favorable
this fall. denomination of the " old ticket" is
suggested by many q means Of securing an har,
mOnious State Convention for where there is no
contest for nominations it is argued, there will be
no animOsitles excited to injuIe the ticket. The
" Old ticket in this case wonld be General Joseph
b. Carr for Secretary of State, Ira Davenport for
Controller, Leslie w. Russell for Attornev-Gen-
era and Sas Seymour for State Engineer. 1t is
plain that there viii be no desperate contest among
eminent Republicans to get or the tick.
et Ii is also understood that some of
the present Republican State officers de-
sire denomination; and that Others are willing
to acc pt of nomination # the State Convention
grants il to them, although they will not seek It.
State Treasurer is also to he chosen in place of
Robert A. Maxwell, Democrat. The friends of Ste
phen II. Wendover, Republican Senator from tho
XVIII District in lS7S-'Sl, are urging his nominal
tion for The Office. Mr. Maxwell will unquestion-
ably secure the Democratic nomination. General
Carr if renominated for Secretary of State may be
confronted by bis antagonist iii 1881 William Pur-
cell Editor Of The Rochester Union, who 1t is said.
would again like the Democratic nomination.
Ex-senator Charles Hughes, Of Sandy
Hill, Washington County, Is candi-
date for the Democratic nomination for
Attorney -(iencral, although he may consent to
run for tho Senate in the XyIth District. George
III. Lapham, banker of Penn Van. Yates County,
is already seeking the Democratic nomination for
Controller. He was the Democratic candidate In
/ ssl and was defeated by Mr. ID aveDpOrt.
There is already some gossip about the Sena-
tOriIl contest next fall. senator Covert of the Ist
District. il is understood is not a candidate for
