A HARMONIOUS CITY DELEGATION.
'LEDGFD TO 40 ONE CANDIDATE. But FOR
WINNING TICKET.


Although the time for holding the Republican
State Convention Is definite plans have been
agreed on by the leaders in this city has any decided
preference been shown FOR candidate There
Lavr been informal talks when leaders have mat, but
nothing approaching a caucus or conference. Many
men or many mnds might express the situation, ere
it not that no one Is in any degree aggressive or appar-
emily anxious to boom" a candidate. Judge Moan
Davis has many warm friends who would like 10 present
his name to the convention candidate Tor the noni-
nation for IL the situation deemed favors
ble L. T. Morton has the confidence Of many OF those
who represent his old Congre Ssona District who therc
are not wanting those who believe that General William
H. Seward will prove the available candidate who
can lie named by the Republican Convention General
Carr receives the support OF many Of the old soldiers but
the moro experienced leaders believe that as between
him and General Seward the latter would prove the
stronger candidate In tho state at large.
There seems to lie no doubt that the New York delrga
ton will go up Saratoga unpedgci and In the interest
OF no one candidate IL has been suggested, ana tho
suggestion very likely 10 be followed that tho delega-
ton meet Monday night Tuesday morning at sara
toga and. having had opportunity 20 look over the
field, select the candidate on whom 10 concentrate lis
strength This would be better Is agreed. than frit
tering away the streng OF New Yorks large delegation
Nothing in the shape OF "bosslsm has developed
up 10 the preselt time, Is there likely 10 be anything
There has always been great deal OF Independence
shown by the various Assembly Districts and dislike 10
anything that implied dctaiiuD, aud there Is almost
complete absence OF II ths year II universally
ceded that harmony tBc one thing needed 10 secure
certain Republican victory and all the indications point
IA tuis direction The Republican n. rty tihs city Will
be thoroughly and ably represented at the convention

for bringing out the full strength OF the party by pro
scnfing 10 the unexceptionabe ticket. You
