rypou THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBUNE
Albany. June 14-Governor HIPS present visit to
New York IL Is said Is for the purpose OF completing
his recent negotiations 10 nominate "millionare
tickets OF Democrats for State offices this fall. The
Governor knows from personal experience the value
~ having big campaign fund and he doubtless per
ceives that such fund would be highly useful to him
in CARRYING out his plnns this fall Those plans are
so extensive the election Of Democratic Legislature
rs we'll as Democratic State officers, that campaign
fund of extraordinary dimensions is necessary.
Mr. Hill wishes 10 carry the Legislature In order 10
further his candidacy for President. Many OF ms
friends opposed his accepting the Office Of United States
Senator last winter because they believed that Ills
possession Of that Office in 1892 would be serious
obstacle to his being nominated for President Inc
Cleveland men, they said, "will point out to the
Democrats in attendance at the National Democratic
Convention that Mr. Hin is in possession of seat IN
the senate and that the Democratic party Is anxious
to have a majority In that body; that The Demo
cratic party has only been able to elect Two
Democrats as Senators from New-Iork In unrv
years; that II Mr.. Hill should be elected as
President he would be compelled TO resign nS
seat as Senator, and that in all probability "a he-
pnblcan would be elected from New-YorR as his suc-
cessor-a result which might have the effect OF ronh
uing the present Republican majority IN no ohteu
States SeIade." But Mr.. Hill, notwithstanding us
argument took the Senstorship. Yet no man noro
than he appreciates its force HIS ronatorshp uocs
block his way to the White House He must $40"
tho Democrats outside Of New York that II they nom
mate him for President and he is elected 10 thac ONE
he will be succeeded by Democrat as Senator lhaV
he will be able 10 do II Democratic Leglsla'ure Is
elected this fall as II Is the programme vi V"o Do
ocratic leaders to have an enumeran"n vi 'i'0 ii
itanis of the state made in January next 'he Des
Iature and state Government should be bemocia"o'
and mon that enumeration so change the apporuon-
Legislatures a possession of the Democratic party
This would insure not only the election OF u oemo
GRAFT as Mr. Ii's successor but also OF aloOner Deo
orat as a successor 10 senator Hiscoch hepuOhcan'
when his term expires in 1913
Mr. un has tenfold millionaire in Roswell r.
Flower 10 head his State ticket as candidate for gov
erpor He is said to be considering the name OF Fred
erck Cook of Rochester, another millionaire, for a
,1oce unon fhe State ticket. Mr.. Cook has ALREADY
beon Secretary of State He lives In the seha'e osUot
made ND OF the counties of Monroe and Orieahs' III II
q Republcan district but II has twice electeo Dei'
crst Donald McNarvhtOn, as Senator There is now
a prospect that the Republicans viii make s'rohe
nomination that Of Cornelius r. Parsons, exMayor vi
Rochester IN this district Mr.. McNaughton papaoly
s theatened with defeat and therefore Governor Hill
is considering the wisdom OF nominating Mr. COOK ior
a State office 10 aid Mr. McNaughton Pesldes there
Is Mr. Cooks money to fructfy lean Denocra"o i"nU'
Another rich mar that Mr.. Hill may place upon the
Democratic State tichSt is Frank Campbell Oh ba''.
steuben County,. Mr.. Campbell is leading banker OF
Bath He Is rich man, and rich men are needed 'hiS
year upon the Democratic State ticket. 1t Is even
limited that possibly Frank Rice, the present Demo
cratic Secretary Of State who is poor man, may hot
Get a denomination, and rich Democrat may be put
in his place.
Mr. Flowers friends feel much elated over the favor
able progress Of his Both of the executive
officers of the Democratic State Committee Edward
Murphy, IT, of Troy the chairman, and Daniel G.
Griffin of WATERFOWL chairman OF the executive COM
mittce of that body, working hard to nominate him,
and they have been nIeTly successful in procuring
promises Of delegates for him. The Canal Depart
ment under Mr.. Murphy-s manipulation, is capt
uring delegates for Flower in every canal
country from Albany TO Buffalo along the Erie Canal
from Troy to Whitehall along the Champlain Canal
from syracuse to oswego along the oswego Canal and
from Rome to Lyons Falls along the Black River Canal
I,ut perhaps more than any other cause contributing
10 Mr. Flowers success Is that he has the cordial sup
port of both tne iii Democrats and Of the Cleveland
Democrats all the counties thus far canvassed In his
behalf Mr. Flowers friends here to-day gave ont the
following statement to the number OF deegatcb al
