New YORK, July 25.-The politi-
cal fight for the control of New York
State next autumn is certain to be ex-
ceedingly bitter. Her Importance in
Presidential campaigne and the un-
certainty of her political complexion
have been reasons enough for earnest
struggles in the past but to-day both
Republicans and Democrats feel that
the prestige of the new Administra-
ton largely depends upon the result
Of the coming election for Governor.
Every aid that either party can bring
into the field, whether it be moral,
mental or material, will be centsred
here, and already the leading poll
ticians are concerning themselves with
watching and shaping events, even
such as appear trivial to the under
| lings. The Democrats are somewhat
hampered by the fact that the Ad-
ministration mas not yet allowed the
elect to know in what direction it will
throw its preference. The Republi-
cans are hoping that they can catch
or put Cleveland in some such attitude
as the previous administration assumed
when it interested itself with a candi-
date of its own shape of Judge Folger,
and when the people rolled up vote
Of 100000 ia protest against Federal
interference but it is not likely that,
with such politicians as Sec'y. Man
ming and, See'y. Whitney to consult
profit by that example.
Gov. d. b. Hill, the foremost candi-
date now bef,re the public, has count
cd upon the support of the Admins
tration, relying upon his having been
Mr.. Clevelands Lieutenant Governor
and upon his having endeayored to
deter to the precedents Mr.. Cleveland
established while in Albany.
Gen. Carr the present Sec'y. of State
wants to be the Republican nominee
for Governor. The law gives him the
right to take the census, and he was
wholly prepared to do So. H. had
favored the leading men of his party
all over the State by arranging to ac
cept their nominees for the 5000 emu
memberships, when Gov. Hill began
to endeavor, in one way after another,
to get from him and his party a share
of the patronages. Mr.. Erastus Corn
ing is close friend of President
Cleveland, who made his acquaintance
and was introduced by him into the
best circles at the capital when he
first went to Albany. Mr.. Corning ii
rich man, q railroad and iron works
owner, famous at once in that way
and as a collector of orchids, fancy
cattle, and even for game roosters
With Tammany we'll in line and th'
Federal Offices properly manned al
; over the State, Erastus Corning nigh
make a good man, but the President
friends in New York think there arr
dozen Democrats, the selection o
} any one of whom would reflect NOR,
, credit on the Administration thai
would this one. Gen. Slocum, Comp
troller Chaplin, Mr.. Hewitt, Edware
, Cooper are some of the weighty names
that rise to the lips of thoughtful
Democrats anxious for the party sue
| cess, and it is more than likely tha
one of these will win the chance to tr,
: for the honor. The strongest candi
! date on the Republican side, just now
is doubtless Congressman Ira /
: Davenport, though the most conspicu
= Gus is Joseph w. Drexel, whose caus
is espoused by the Republicans VIII
2 think that the moral power as well a
| the actuality of money is essential t.
j, success. But there are forty othe
!, candidates among the Rs, and sine
!. no one man can now claim to rule tn
2 party, in this State, the struggle 70
: the nomination will be honestly in tb
t c,nv.nt:on. Gen. B. F. Tracy, Seth
Y Low, Ju lge Andrews, A. B. Cornell
l Chester A. Arthur and O. p Morton
t are the shrewdest and likeliest cand
e dates after I. l.. Davenport, especiall
e the one or two among them who's
candidacy will not stir up any of tn
: antagonism of those breaches in tn
t party that all Republicans hope
y see h called before this lively trouble
