THE NEW YORK REPUBLICANS

THE NEW YORK REPUBLICANS
 date For Governor - The Man
 Likely To Come From New York City.
 SARATOGA, Sept .2O.--Delegates to the State
 Republican convention are arriving slowly.
 Tonight there arenot more than three hundred of them in town. No caucuses will be held
 before tomorrow night when it is expected
 all the delegates will be on the ground. Un- til that time but little can be said in the way of prediction who will be nominated for
 Governor and, of course, upon the head of the ticket togreat extent depends the selection
 of names for the minor offices. It is said
 by delegates now here that never before in
 the history of New York politics have the Republicans been slow in maturing their
 plans. There is absolutely no ground at this time upon which to form an opinion to who will be nominated. The candidates who are known to be in the race are named by delegates in a sort of pay your -money-and
 take-your-choice manner and there cannot be found in Saratoga tonight 8 man who can give any proof to justify the conclusion that his candidate will be chosen. Among those in the field who are known to be can didates are James D. Warren of Buffalo, late chairman of the State committee; James w. Drexel, late of Drexel, Morgan & Co.,; Judge Noah Davis, Ira Davenport, William H. Sew ard, Hon. L. P. Morton, Secretary of State Carr, and several others who will not possibly receive more than complimentary votes. The delegates in some instances appear to be very wise, but the actual workers of the party do not hesitate to declare that there is not yet any pro- gra1nme and that the probabilities are that there will be until all the delegates have arrived and conferences been held. All profess to be for harmony and the best possible candidate. 'Never before," Baid q State senator this afternoon, "has the party had such an uphill fight to make" The up per county delegates appear to be relying on the city delegation to present name upon which they can harmonize and the city dele gates say the nominee must be New York city man. It is believed that the wire pull ing will result in the selection of Q candidate from New York city, although there are many here who think favorably of Seward. MT. Cornell spent some time at MT. Drexels cottage this afternoon and it is rumored that tho visit was made for the purpose of form ing a combination, but this cannot be veri- fled.
 Several informal conferences have been held tonight and the understanding reached that the New York city delegation will hold a meeting tomorrow night with view of uniting upon & candidate. Delegates from the upper counties say if the New York city men can agree upon a man they will support him. There hes been decided boom for Cornell tonight and his friends are working it. The name of Cornelius N Bliss has also sprung up with boom, but the leaders say neither of these will make the connection. 1 MT. George Bliss says that nothing can be done until tomorrow night. He hopes that ! @ man may be se, ected who has not yet been prominently mentioned Senator Miller is at the United States Hotel, but is not dis r,osed fo make any Dredictions
