TINE ASSEMBLY CONVENTIONS.

The Republicans OF the STATE ouEi' l" Nv 60"
70 the necessity of putting their best men Ioi
ward this year for public Office. Inc Assembly
nominations ought to be unusually strong anu
popular ones Candidates have already pcel
named in one of the Washington County as
trlcts in Essex, in Franklin and in Fulton ana
Hamilton. and we believe that in every instance
the choice commends itself to the Republicans
of the districts and to other voters VINO deNIIe
10 be intclccntly and faithfully represented
So far 50 good. Cogcnt reasons can be gwen
for urging our party friends IN the districts
which have yet to non ute to exercise more
than ordinary care in the choice OF nominees.
I'm the first place the fact that pracucaIly
tbore will be no State ticket in the field this ran
tho only State officer 10 be voted for beng an
Apnollatc Judee-wil enable both parties 10 de-
vota IN cxcrptional amount of Gme and energy
f. the legislative canvass. We may be sure
that So sharp and rcsuurceful leader rs DaNIu
r. Hill appreciates the situation ana VIII MAKE
thc most of il. He can confidently CAL upon
his friends. the >aloon-kcepcrN, Tor bag cor
ruption fund 10 be used 10 buy up such voters
in the close districts as may be III the market.
In other years since he has been the recoGhi|cd
boss of Ncw-Nolk Democracy, lllll probabH
has not been able 10 spare much Doodle lor ser
vice in the legislative canvass SIMPLY because
vast sum was needed 10 keep the annual S'a'e
ticket anoat Il will lie different this year-"c
may be sure the Governor will have at his as
po>al "harS galore" dedicated solely TO Sc
curing a Democratic majority III the y selh'I!
IF 1891. He can also be counted upon to ana
the Assembly canvass with the vast patronage
IF i<of1ice We may be sure that he VIII sum
mon nj, appointc,s in every county to do their
hest for i, and that no end of tempting prom
isos Of Mace and promotion will be made by HIM
aud hi, AGENTS wiki the hope OF increasing inc
Democratic vote. II is useless to enlarge on
this point our party friends throughout the
state cannot fail to appreciate It's 'lE"iH'a"'''
I'm the second place, the control OF the next
Iogi>lature means good deal more than inc
control Of next years laW-maklng, however de-
.irohie that may bee. j. William VI. LNartN Ia
l.. succeeded in the United states senate by a
p,pIhlicln or "A Democrat? Let our EcpubH-
can friend, a.. themselves that question a. 'h'N
make their Assembly nominations ana organize
for the campaign i'm tchaii 0i those nominal
,i,ns. I'm an. third place, the record oil the Ia''
session proved only too plainly that some h'-
uulIi,au, were sent Ia the Legislature oil INJ"
,,bo never ought T. have been cho>cn-men
whose course in Albany on the lliSh-lAcenN'
bill and other measure, showed that they were
not nune Republicans that they were "H
true to tn. principles of the parry rs they are
formulated in the platforms oi the state con-
ycntious.
Ilcrc are three lIst-ca,S reasons why EcpUp-
leans should pay particular attention TO inc
Assembly canvas, tbs year Back OF thcS" Is
tbc great general ca>.n-the history OF the al
mini.tatIJn of State affairs attcStN mat New
I York j., governed most wisely, most ecoh"ih-
ica,ly when the Republicans are IN power
GIVE us then nominees IN all the districts Wh"
because oi their proved capacity'and efficiency
and their stainless integrity, command the gen
o,,l confidence. Give us in addition vigorous
| harmonious canvass all along the me- eN-
nccjallv in the close districts GIVE us thcN'
/ things and there will be no trouble about The
next Assembly. II will bee Republican by al
emphatic majority But II we iall To make
/ fine hes. use of our opportunities we run The
i.l; of Democratic trlunph-do not let III
/ shut our eyes 10 that.
