PARTY AND CONFIDENT OF VICTORY

normal Republican majority for the Republican can
ddatess said one Of the leading Republicans in this
city to The Tribune correspondent to-day.
The delegates from this county to the Repubhcah
State Convention all in favor OF the nomination
OF General James W. Wadsworth as the RepuDncah
candidate for Governor, but when they SOW that o
majority of the delegates to the convention were In
favor of the nomination of Senator Fassett they we're
among the first to swing into line to make his nom
ihation unanimous Besides doing that In the con-
vontion hall they returned home and went to work
with a will 10 roll up ms big q majority for MN as
possible. II one should go through the county win

Republican who did not intend to vote Tor senator
Fassett Stories have been sent out from
here to the Democratic papers that an Or
ganzaton called the Independent Republican
Club, intended ia cut him and the Republican candi-
dates for the Senate and the Assembly. There is such
an organization. but 1t is Republican In name only
II is composed Of number Of men who nave clhDDeu
together the purpose Of getting as much as possible
for their votes. Last fall they mustered twenty-five
votes and now there are about seventeen members Of
the club. They will vote for the party that pays the
most for the clubs support. and this year they I'M
doubtedly will be captured by the barrel Of the Wall
Street stock jObber This club has not, however IN
dorsed any candidate the state ticket Those VINO

offer them before deciding which way TO jump. ii
the Republican managers had wanted their votes uey
could had thcm and unless Mr.. Flower sends In
large sized check, the chances are that they VIII
vote for Senator Fassett out Of pure spite. II has
been financially advantageous for the club to indore
the Democratic nominee for member OF Assembly from
this county. He is DR.. Zurh0rst, and the Democrats
now are making their usual anteelectlon claims That
he will be elected In Il Presidential year the natural
majority OF a Republican candidate for the Assembly
would be between 200 and LOO and this year the
most conservative Republicans say that the Re
publican candidate for the Assembly viii have at enst
1000 majority. The Republican candidate Is Charles
n. Reed. Of Bergen lie has been the supervisor Of
his town for number Of years and he IS well-known
farmer. lie is a popular man, and he will not lose a
Republican vote in the county
Genesee County is one Of the four counties in the
XXXth Senate District in which Senator Greenleef
Van Gorder has been nominated for the second time.
The Democrats assuring themselves that a con
siderable nroad will be made in his vote In this county
by their Farmers Alliance candidate, Harry Arnold,
Of Niagara County. 1t is impossible to find Repub-
lean who openly will declare himself against Senator
Van GOTder and the best judges say that he will not
run behind the state ticket by Gfty votes.
Senator Fassett is likely to get tho votes
of a number Of independent Democrats IN
this county. Genesee is one of the strong
holds Of Mr.. Cleveland in the State, and it
is the home Of eXInsurdnce superintendent Robert a.
Maxwell against whom Governor Hill made long and
bitter fight because he would not compel the big in
companies Of the state to pay heavy campaign
contributions. Mr.. Maxwell refused TO do this, and
Hill wanted man who would. and he probably has
got one. II will be remembered that senator Fasset
last winter a vigorous fight in the Senate against
the confirmation Of ex-senator James F. Pierce, of
Brooklyn, not because Fierce Hill man and Max
we'll was a Cleveland man, but because Mr Maxwell
had made a good official and the interests to be
affected the Insurance companies, did not desire a
change. senator Fassett then disagreed with a mum
Der OF the members Of his party among the Sena
tors who vOt for cX senator Pierce the grounds
OF long association In the Senate and account OF his
poverty. such ardent Tammany Iialllill senators
as Jacob A. Cantor and Eugene Ives then denounced
in most bitter superintendent Maxwell for deSr
Ing TO retain The place and Senator Fassett for en-
dcavoring TO keep in Office man who had proven 10
be entirely satisfactory to the companies Interested
This speech OF senator FasSctt's made for him many
friends in this part Of the state, especially among the
independent voters who believe with George william
Curtis that that 10 he independent does not
ALWAYS mean to vote the Democratic ticket Mr.
Maxwell now is at home here quietly attending 10 his
affiliations with him stronger than all other con
sideIati0ns. -,
A meeting Of the Republican County Committee was
hcld here Saturday last and reports were received
from all sections OF the county These reports Of The
most catering nature, and they showed important
thing and that is the interest Of the farmers in this
election Their fall work is now nearly done and on
oil sides they declare that they coming out to vote
against Tammany Hall on election day.
