WORK OF MR.. MOTIONS FRIENDS'
Some of the more Jealous advocates of tho elcc-
tion of Mr.. Morton are inclined to preclpitate
the issue and are talking of hold
ing the caucus as early as week from
Wednesday, days before the election is TO take
place. They are not disposed to wait for any ex-
preston of the Republican sentiment of tine State
on the subject, which they evidently fear would
be unfavorabe to their candidate. A move
ment has already been set on foot to
circulate petitions in the interior counties
which shall indicate the choice of Republicans
and furnish guide to their representatives IN Al
bapy. The opponents of Mr.. Morton confidently
assert that if the facts are known Mr.. Morton
would be found to be the choice OF only a small
minority of the Republicans of the State, and they
will vigorously oppose an early caucus OF any
other device for taking snap Judgment before the
people can be heard from, Now that the President
is out of the race the leading candidates whose
names are canvassed here are William NJ. Evarts,
Levi 7. Morton, Frank HscOck and Leslie W. kus-
sell.
The supporters of IIscock and Russell their
