Last night Ex-Governor Cornell was looked upon
as a pushing candidate, but was stated III

for him good share of the Carr vote,
believing that Carr cannot grow. On the oth I

While Warmers friends are hard at work tonight
and apparently confident, there does not seem
to be a fair chance of his nomination.
To his friends, as we'll as those of Senator Miller

kilograms were received from prominent men,
bers of the Union League Club tonight saying
that Mr. Evarts Mr. Depew and Others ADVISED
that Mr.. Bliss be chosen.
Late tonight the friends of Mr.. Bliss were dis
playing many dispatches from New-Iork business
men favOring his nomination for Governor. Below

Caflin Woodbury. Langdon James 1. NOyes Seth

others:

our opinion receive unanimous party support ana ana

there comes sharp rivalry between these oppos-
ing forces, Carr may have a chance for success;
bnt il is hardly likely that lie will grow after once
beginning to decline. In fact. it seems more
likely IN such an event that new man may be
taken up.
The Davenport men are confident at midnight
and are circulating ticket as follows: For Gov
ernor, Davenport; for Lieutenant-Governor, Carr
for Secretary of State Anson S. Wood; for Con-
troiler, w. 4. ONeil; for Attorney-General r. ii.

Another ticket which seems f. meet with some
favor is: For Governor, c. N. Bliss; for Lieu
tenant Governor, Carr; for Controller, WadswOrth;
for Attorney General. Hobbs.
The dark horses for Governor are Morton, Wads-
worth, T. A. Merritt and Seward.
Jacob Hess says tonight that the New-hork
"boys" will nearly all go for Davenport tomorrow.
The Brooklyn delegation has resolved to
support Hobbs solidly for Attorney General.
