THE SENTIMENT IN NORTHERN NEw'Yohh'
TO the Editor OF Tbe Iri
Sir. There is intense anxiety In this vicinity as 70
the Republican nomination for Governor. ~ Is le,'
that q strong nomination means victory LUG mo-
administration of the canals, resulting IN numerous
breaks and slow repair, has seriously ahected inc
h,s,ros, q, boatmen and made those Interested In
commerce angry at Hill and all his iohowers. Inc
,dnatal ranks too arc full of discomfort at the use
of the State prisons manufactures mat put con'
vlct labor In competition with honest worRmen anu
vor,1vonon and make tho state the most oppressive
q. all q sweaters 1t is believed that the present
ballot system will give opportunity Tor secret anu io0
expression OF the detection from the Hill raHhs'
To take advantage of this commercial ana in-
dustr4a revolt is certainly duty of the hour. Inc
Republican sentiment in this part of New York STATE
has spontaneously fixed upon one name as that OF ue
nominee who would most surely receive the meorse-
ment of 20 entire Republican party OF the staoe an"
also OF the diafiected Democrats and OF INDUSTRIAL
workers who are in neither party. Ihat name 10
General Joseph B. Carr, Of Troy To show how In MS
own city General Carr, though long In pohucai NC
barmonizes all the clements of Repubhcansm under
his own banner it may be said that the three Rerubl-
con manners of the city--"The Times" "The Budget
and The Telegram enthusiastically agree In the ad
vocacy of his nomination. And there is not us
sentine voice In party councils IN the ranks OF NO.
publican voters.
It il matter OF political history, as every one
knows how General Carr was thrice elected on inc
Republican ticket for secretary OF 6tate-once when
query one Int himself on the ticket defeated. AS
the colonel of the first regiment raised in NewYorR

bravest commanders Of the war, rising to the ram
OF major general, he has the loyal support VI Cs
soldiers He has been commander-in-chief OF tle
Boys In Blue of this State since $780, when nc was
appointed to that place by General Grant Oener'i
Carr has been chosen grand marshal for the parade az
the dedication next month OF tho Rensselaer, OOunlS
soldiers and Sailors Monument Just erected In this
city, and of which he is one Of the trustees prom
inent manufacturer and upright cuzen, no naS "u
the personal elements Of candidacy not only oian'o
less but Of convincing strength.
General Carr has a following among the Irish voters
that is altogether unapproached among hepuoncan
leaders He organized the great movement tna' gave
TO Blaines the stirring impetus OF the llsn
Republican uprising in ewYOrk City, when hepuO-
lcan clubs of that nationality sprang into the conflict
with Characteristic zeal and effectiveness When Ten

Of 900 and once $4,000 the Democratic majority IN
