therefore his nomination would be especially pleas
ing to those Republican farmers who have become
somewhat interested in the Farmers Alliance
movement Furthermore, they point out that as
an Assembyman he initiated the policy of discov-
| erng new sources of taxation, and had introduced
/ taxation bills which, after some years oil DEBATE
were passed and became laws. IL is the operation
| of those taxation laws which has lowered state
taxation for the coming year TO the lowest point
in thirty-six years.
General Carr's friends call attention to his fine
war record tynd TO his excellent administration for
three terms of the office of Secretary OF State In
| their opinion General Carr is an exceptionally
strong candidate, aud they adduce figures to show
| that he has always run ahead of his associates
| upon a State ticket.
The nomination of Stewart IL. WoouIoru Is
pressed on the ground of his excellent war record,
his experience as Lieutenant Governor and his
ability in Stote matters. 1t is argued that Mr..
Woodford's nomination would be especially timely
in view of the silver coinage movement. No man
made more convincing speeches against fiat money
and other similar financial heresies than Mr. Wood
ford did in the great Ohio political fight of 1874
The Democratic State Convention Of New-iork
this year. it is said under the inspiration OF DAVID
B. Hill will adopt plank favoring the free coin
ace of silver Mr. Woodford's friends say that
he would be just the needed to go through the
State showing the folly of debasng the currency
Mr. Fassett's friends suggest his nomination
because Of their belief that his intimate acqualnt-
ance with State affairs the past six years would
make him ON exceptionally strong candidate. They
saw that he has been the Republican leader in
the State Senate the last six years, and as such
gained complete knowledge of the State Gov
crnment and each one of it's Departments. In
liz aaIfl
and knowledge as a speaker upon State matters
could not fail to make great impression MI
Fassett unquestionably intrcnched himself greatly
in the esteem of the Republican party by his bold,
aggressive and strategic management of the con-
test in the State Senate over the resolution to
investigate the States canals. If nominated for
Governor his friends argue that the young men in
the Republican party would take an especially
strong interest in his canvass ana would give IL
"a fervent support. Mr.. Fassett, 1t Is expected.
would make a vigorous canvass IOr 'IoFerhor Al
he should be nominated.

first delegate was Bernard Biglin, of the AVlllth
Assembly District Mr. Biglin said think
Good many of my fellow-delegates will arrive
here tomorrow. The New-York DELEGATION Is not
committed 10 any one as yet. If CornGhuS van
Cott is n candidate we of course VIII support
him. but | do not know that he will be candi-
date. He would make strong ruG IN NeW"tOrK
CITY if he were nominated, and would poll every
Republican vote in my opinion, in the interior or
the State. Senator FasSett, in my Judgment also
would make strong candidate l tmnK that
the Republican State ticket is going to DC elected
this fall and therefore ought to take especial
mains i'm the selection Of State ticket, aiming
10 nominate our strongest men. The Democratic
Marty is in the condition in which it in
1879. when we elected Cornell it is filled with
dSSension."
