THE NEW YORK REPUBLICANS

THE NEW YORK REPUBLICANS | Will Try to Name a Winning Ticket | at Saratoga.
 | SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 21.-Delegates fairly swarmed in town on the afternoon l trains and the scenes about the hotels to- night are animated At this hour-11 p. m. there is no change in the situation from | that indicated early in the day except that Cornelius N. Bliss and Levi P. Morton have I taken the lead, leaving Cornell a good third. While this is fact, it is very apparent that l Cornell blocks the way to reaching an ami cable arrangement without considerable diff ! faculties and unless he can be gotten rid of ! by the friends of the other two gentlemen ! they will have hard work in carrying out ! their wishes. It is understood that Cornell ! has sufficient number of votes in the New York delegation to embarrass Bliss and l Morton and it is probable his obstinacy will necessitate the naming of Drexel or that of @ new man. The leaders of the New York delegation held an informal conference this afternoon, the result of which appeared to indicate that the selection of either Morton or Bliss would be preferable to that of Cor nell on the ground that Cornell has been too recently identified with certain corporate in-
 terests to suit the present temper of the
 public mind. The argument was made by 8
 gentleman that upon the nomination of a
 Republican candidate depended the success
 of the party in the 1888 presidential cam
 paign, and in explanation of the argument
 it was stated that if 8 good clean man &C.,
 ceptable to the people is placed at the head
 of the ticket the Republicans can carry New
 York by from 10000 to 30,000 majority,
 while if 8 candidate is placed in nomination
 who cannot command the strength of the
 party defeat is certain and the effect
 will react the presidential contest.
 Various slates have been made and almost
 immediately broken and everything still
 depends upon the action of the New York
 and Kings county delegations. It was re-
 ported early this evening that the former had given up all hope of agreeing upon candi-
 date, but it nov looks as though it would
 make an effort in that direction. At all events it has been decided to discuss the
 question with view of harmonizing. The Brooklynites profess to be more harmonious than their neighbors and say that they will be able to name their man before midnight.
 The indications are that they will favor the nomination of MT. Morton. The delegates from the upper counties are very emphatic in their statements that unless the city men select delegate tonight whom they can sup port as a unit they will take the matter in their own hands and push General Carr for all he is worth in the morning.
 Midnight-The Kings county delegation held conference tonight and appointed a committee to confer with the New York county delegates with view to selecting candidate upon whom both delegations could unite. The State committee to night held meeting and decided to recommend the se- 1ection of Senator Miller for temporary chairman There is now a very mysterious movement on foot in favor of General Carr's nomination. It is believed to be based on the theory that the New York county men, who are now in conference, will not be able to agree upon 8 candidate.
 The New York county men adjourned their conference without uniting upon 8 candidate. The scheme is now said to be to take an informal ballot tomorrow upon all the candidates placed in nomination, to then adjoin and endeavor to concentrate the diff ferent forces upon compromise candidate.
