tBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
p1,vF.IO Sept 26. The nomination OF new
.;osst was advised by Daniel Manning, the char
man Of the Democratic State Committee to-uaV'
wheneyer his counsel was sought. Naturally TINS
a,d not please the old-tIcket nominees, william
purcell. George H. Lapham, and Roswell A. Par
,nsn,er who are here seeking the nomination
..oord time One defeat by Republicans appar-
eo,Iv does not satisfy them. Mr., Purcell, however,
"a sundersio ood to have advertised that he Is not
seskire A nomination as a member of the old con-
eernD but upon his own peculiar merits as Demo-
cratic editor. Mr.. Lapham aud MI FarmehIei'
who now have small political capital, on inc otAer
hand are eager to have the "old concern recog-
nized: They sat disconsolately in their rooms
after Mr.. Purceps reputation OF them had
peen announced, but still entertained
a nope that their nomination would loIlow
his il he shool be nominated. DsagreeaDie
as Mr.. Purcelps nomination would be to MIR. Man.
nip- that of Roswell A. Parmenter, former close
friend but now a bitter opponent, would be far
more so. The nomination first made VIII be tor
Secretary of State. The vote on that will, there
fore be the test vote in the uvention If 1t goes
against Mr. Purcell, the power of the Manning
Cleveland regency 10 write out u w new
ticket will De instantly recognized.
Mr. Manning was III close conference with Isaac
H. MAYNARD, with whom be propos "a to defeat MI
Purcell most of the day. One of - Manning me-
this evening said The contest tOl We uom ua
tion for Secretary of State is over. Mr. maynard
will have 294 of the 3S4 delegates to the conven-
tou.D Mr. Purcelps friends not dismaveo
when they heard this statement reported. They
say that they could not perceive that they had lost
any votes during the day. but on the contrary
hal made gains. Their favonte argument
against Mr. Maynard was that he was
4 astaunch Prohibitionist aud that the brewers OF
the State, with the German voters, would therefore
oppose him.
The nomination for Attorney-General seems to
rest between Dennis o Bren, of Watertown. and
William A. Poucher, of Oswego County. 1t is also
sought by Roswell A. Parmenter; but he seems to
have the support only of Rensselaer, County Sen
ator Homer A. Nelson is also a candidate, but he IS
not coming here and it is well understood that bis
delegates will when he Is Withdrawn, give their
support to Mr. OBren, who is the Manning-Cleve-
land combination's candidate. Mr. Poucher has all
the delegates of the opponents OF the " machine
~ bis back.
The nominations for Controller and for State
Treasurer are furOusly contested, and the conflicts
are intermingled To-day Alfred G. Chapln, OF
Brooklyn. ,uddenly became formidable candidate
for Controller. This movement excited much
wrath among the supporters of William II. Cat1n
candidate for State Treasurer. Mr.. Catlin's main
support has been the Kings County delegation. 1t
was argued that If the delegation should be COM
PEELED by the machine" a" to support Mr.. Chapln
for the Controllersbip, the delegates would have
no time to devote to the advocacy OF
Mr.. Catln's claims Moreover politicians might
say that King. County was selfish in pushing two
men for State Offices Mr. Cnapin's sudden rise into
prominence as "a candidate was ascrbed to the in
fuence of Mr.. Maxwell, the rival Of Mr. Catlin for
the nomination for State Treasurer Mr.. Chaplin,
however gained many votes in the interior OF the
State through the influence of the Maxwell men,
and it was whispered about that he was the " mas
chine" candidate for Controller.
TIE Kings County delegation met in the evening
and by q unanimous vote resolved TO support
Chapin for Controller. The Kings County delcga-
ton also resolved to cast their votes for Mr. Max
well for State Treasurer
The machine slate tonight is as follows: For
Secretary OF State, Isaac ii. Maynard for Attorney
General Dennis OBnen; for CONTROLLED, Alfred q.
Cnapin; for State Engineer John Van Buren; Tor
State Treasurer, Robert A. Maxwell.
There were other candidates for Controller:
George ii. Lapham of Penn YAM John Hampden
RObb OF Now-York, and Senator Mackin OF New
burg. Mr.. Mackin Is Mr. Chapius most formidable
competitor, He will have the support Of the dele
gates from most of the Hudson River counties. and
from counties in the interior of the State, Monroe
and Erie among the number.
