benefit Of Tammany's corrupt ways and methods. In
n conversation with J. sloat Fassett in the conven-
ton hall at Rochester, shortly after he was nomE
mated the writer informed him that Westminster

give him the largest vote ever accorded hepuDhoah
candidate for Governor President In this county
and section Present circumstances point TO an une-
quvocaI realization of this representation In 1888
President Cleveland's plurality in this county was
1145 and Governor HIPS 61s. This year, Fassett
supported by the excellent ticket, VIII diminish tnS
last plurality by at least hall. throughout uie
county Fassett and Vrooman are daily gaming
strength with the people OF all classes ana parry
Affiliations. The remainder Of the state ticket Is
receiving hearty and unstnted support. That
vrooman for Lieutenant-G Governor will ahead OF

personal friends here and lie Will poll large Vo'e'
as will also Ira Hedges, for Treasurer, who IS our
neghbor across the river, and possesses an exceleht
reputation as a man prominently fitted to occupy
tb nIaoe 70 which the people OF this county are to
assist In electing him.
The fill county tickets Of both parties are In the
field. Compare the names Cromwell, Holmes ana
Matthews on the c. o. p. side; Duffy, Mixseu anu
Jones on the Democratic ticket. Despite the sehsa-
tonal stories Of Democratic newspapers, malshlhs
the Republican County Convention, characterzlng IL
as a free fight a general scrimmage, ETC., IL was an
orderly convention In view Of the circumstances with
such magnificent opportunity for winning the race
there was no wonder that there should be muiu-
plIcity Of candidates and friendly contest and rivalry
for the prizes. David Crom@en was nominated ior
Sheriff by an overwhelming vote, and his nomhhuoh
then made unanimous. His record in past Office I'M
assailable his character irreproachabe, place nun III
an impregnabIe position. For twelve years he ad-
rnnistered the Office Of County Treasurer, and with
spotless record and carefuness and painsta1ns I'M
excelled in his accounts and trust. His name IS a
synonyme for honesty, integrity courtesy ana business
and executive ability.
Mr.. Cromwelps opponent Is the well-known john

bosses feared that he would develop unforeseen
strength so the screws put and his delegations
were forced to vote for Duffy, first last and all tle

The Senatorial contest IN the XIIth District VIII DO
spirited one. Had Judge william II. Robertson con-
eented 10 accept the nomination he would have been
elected beyond pcrsdventure, he has been for the
last two terms redeeming the district for his party
But this fall he declined TO permit the use OF his name
as a candidate Bradford Rhodes, of Mamaroneck was
nominated by reclamation. Two years ago he was
elected Assemblyman from the I'D District but last
year was defeated in an uphill fight by William Ryan
Ex-Asscmblyman Rhodes has enviablo reputation at
albany. Tho Democrats have nominated Charles F.
McCleand Democratic leader OF the House last winter
He Is hustler and his public record is as clean as
could DO expected Of Democrat at Albany wearing
Tammanys collar and humble servant Of the bosses
lie will poll large vote. Mr.. Rhodes will leave no
stone unturned 10 accomplish his election, and in this
endeavor he will be ably assisted by Judge Robertson
WHO will take as much interest in his election as he
would In his own.
Probably the greatest interest this s manifested
IN the Assembly contests, which will be close and ex
citing In the few days remaining before the event
full election day the candidates hustng. In the
Ist District strong fight is being made by both sides
The Democrats have nominated Thomas X. Fraser,
president Of the village Of Hastings J. Irving Burns
Of Yonkers, Is the Republican standarJbearer. Two
years ago he elected by the magnificent majority
OF 1,402, but was beaten last fal Burns made an
envable record while at Albany and the people Of the
Ist District know good thing when they see 1t and
intend to have II.
In the I'D District the prospects are rather dark.
The Republican candidate Mr. Malloy, has declined to
run against William Ryan, the Democratic nominee,
and in another is found to fill the breach
BY the limit Of time allowed by law, il is feared his
chances will be slim.
But the most interesting fight is in the lid Dis
trict, where precocous young aspint for political
honors is trying TO down James . Winner Hustled In
his twenty second for the Assembly Of the ulti
mate result there is no doubt in the minds OF those
who have studied the situation. Yet the Democrats
working might and MAN, and are resorting 10
every measure to snatch this district from the hands
of the faithful Republican steward who has so long
guarded is interests. Last year there cOnsdera
BILE detection from Huseds ranks In this city, but that
has almost entirely disappeared. John Mabie, who
last year cast his influence against the General is
working hard for him. At tho Democratic Convention

declined to rum and persisted in his declination The
party would not hear of it, and supposed OF he
would rum but at the last day he filed his REFUSAL and
no persuasion could induce him to sacrifice himself.
Tho Democrats disguised, yet could not but ad-
mire his good Judgment The committee have named
E. l.. Ryder, OF Sing sing, who was chairman Of the
convention, to make the canvass. The Prohibition
candidate. Homer Anderson Is prominent citizen,
and is working hard. He will cause large detection
from the Democratic vote
