THREE TICKETS IN THE FIELD.

PROSPECTS OF THE MISREPRESENTATION TO BE
ACTED oN-FEELNG OF THE MEMBERS.
The nrenarations for the annual election at the
Union Climb and for the vote variety of resou-
tiops which have been submitted to the attention
of the members go vigorously forward After having
occnnied the field unchallenged for something over
two weeks. the regular nominations for members
of the Governing Committee, put forward by the
covernors subcommittee, wero confronted last
Saurday night by an opposition slate. This Is said
IN have been the work of certain members Oh the
Governing Committee. who were dissatisfied WIN
the regular nominations. for which they themselves
were indirectly responsible The men thus placed
j.; conflict with the first ticket were Messrs Cooper,
Sheldon. Z. H. Green and J. j. Townsend.
The makers of this slate were, OF
course understood to be content with
four names on the regular ticket, which with their
own selections would fill out the necessary eight.
Two of the four men who are agreeable 10
them are Herman lie Roy and James V. Parker, who
belong to the retiring committee. The other two
are not known. h is well known that MI
Cadwalader and his friends did everything
that was possible to secure Mir. Cadwalader
\ nomination on the opposition ticket, and the
idea was reluctantly dropped Mr.. CadwaladeTs
futile efforts in this direction have been the talk OF
all the dinner tables i'll NewYork. and his recent
assertions that he resisted the desire of his friends
have been o source of much amusement. Mr..
Cooper held similar position with Mr.. Cadwaia-
der. and was similarly disngenuous in bis state
meuts. But Mr. Cooper has been successful.
On Sunday night third ticket was announced.
This ticket included the regular nominations, with
the exception Of Samuel Bargcr and
Herman LIE Roy For these two names
those of +. Ii. Green and Edwards Piorrc-
mont were substituted. 1t is threatened that the
legality OF these last nominations Will DC contested

night wIll scarcely have been up ten days when the
polls omen next Wednesday evening.
