some OF Mr.. warrens frerds have been circulating
yaoer among the business men get the signatures OF
those willing TO attend business mems meeting in his
behalf and TO go 10 Saratoga TO urge the delegates TO
nominate him. 1t sppears probable now that large
delegation will go Saratoga for that purpose These
actions have placed Mr. Warren fairly In the He'd as
candidate and though there Is evidence that he is
personally doing anything whatever TO get support yet
his feuds are at work and apparently believe that he
will succeed They claim that he Will have beside the
delegates from Erie ana Niagara considerable follow

after complimentary votes for local candidates he will
have many delegates not counted for him warren.

New York City is expected to give him large vote.
Warner Miller is said be favorable TO Mr.. Warrens
nomination for which he is reported to be ready

over the State place ticket In the field that Will not
awaken old antagonisms. The Hon. A. NJ Ciapp OF
Washington who for many years resident of this
city. and who is now visiting here' speaking oi hS
matter TO-DAY said:

probably be many years before the Republicans VIII
aain come into power The delegates should go To the
State Convention unnsructed AMI with readiness to
lay local ambaOns and personal preferences upon the
altar OF public welfare The ticket should not only
comprise able and pure who represent the cardinal
principles of the party; but should be chosen
from among those who have not been prominently em-
broed in our aconsl divisions, and who have hot gwen
ugly blows in intestine conflicts that may be avenged in

Republican ranks alone assure victory"
One of the prominent business men I'm the city,

But If the Republicans lose New-York state this year
they will stand no chance in my mind of carrying 1t in
1885, The Democrats will have the enormous patronage
Of New-York City and Of the State and Nation which IL
more than the Republicans ever had. And they would

That is the spirit that anmates them firmly believe
that they carried the State fraud last aud that

thing this year. But IL they succeed this that puts
everything IN their hands aud gives them complete
