IN THE FIELD OF POLITICS.

Mr. Fassetts connection with the Republican Ma
tona Committee will prove scrviceable 70 him IN the
State campaign He IS one of the most popular score
tares that the National Committee ever had, and the
members from the Atlantic to the Pacific, are going
| TO do all in their power to elect him Governor some
of them will come here speak for him, and ALL 80
far as known, will send him the most effective orators
they have in their respective States. Mr. HOBART OF
New,Jersey, said yesterday that he would contribute
al least four Of the abest men in NewJersey, one Oh
them being ex-senator Gnggs, of Paterson Mr.. res
sender, of Connecticut Mr. Haynes, of Maine, and all
the Others will do likewise.
Ex-senator spooner Of Wisconsin, who is now
here, will spend the entire month Ct octo-
Der in Ohio and New-York. "Pm going to do
my level best" said he last night, to elect Mckinley
and Fassett I'll give each Of them two weeks" Tx
Speaker Reed of Maine, will also take part in this cam
pagn. In fact is altogether probable that Deiore
the polls close the Republicans OF the state VIII nave
heard almost every rstclass Republican orator IN the
country.
The party leaders are determined to recapure the
| two Republican Assembly Districts, the With and
XIth which were carried by the Democrats last year.
A careful survey of the field in each is being made
with view to picking out the strongest possible can
dldates In the With District sentiment seems to be
crystalizlng in favor of John McKeever, MI van
Allen who was the nominee last year. being averse 10
running again. McKeever is Of the most active
Republicans
Is said to favor him. believing that Mckeevers canvass
woud materially aid Lispenard Stewards fight for SEN
ator Mr.. Hoag, who beaten for the Assembly
last year. though a Republican Alderman was elecUeu
at the same Time Is talked OF as candidate again. ouC
there is strong feeling in favor Of following the ex
ample of the With District people in selecting new
! man. Lawrence, the Tammany Assemblyman IN the
XIth is slated for denomination, and Scanne going
to do his utmost to elect him. Hence the necessity Oh
making the strongest nomination possible in opposition
to him 1t is said that the leaders are Impressed Win
this view of the matter and that they looking with
some degree of favor upon the aspirations OF John D.
Smith, formerly chairman of the Republican State
League Executive Committee, and one of The leading
members of the Republican Club. 1t IS understood
that the club is behind Mr.. Smith, and that IT VIII
exert it's great influence 10 secure his election, II ne Is
nominated. As Mr. HOag has been elected member
of the State Committee Mr. Smiths friends tnnh tldt
the Assembly honor might properly be given to am an,
Crler, and certainly Mr. SMITHS services ehute MN

Nothing more absurd has appeared so far in the
campaign than the charge that Arthur c. Wade. can
didate for Controller on the Republics ticket, is con-
trolled by faction in Caaraugus County This is the
first time that Mr.. Wade has been candidate for
Office But two years ago he contended, with c. p.
Vedder for the honor Of being nominated for state
Senator II IS hardly necessary TO repeat the result
even in the words of Mr. Wade: I" l was licked clean
out Of my boots" In the Senate convention this fall
held prior to the Rochester convention, Mr. Wade III
| dorsed the candidacy of Mr.. Low, who was the OPP
| ponent Of Senator Vedder. Mr. Low experienced a
defeat similar TO Mr.. Wade'S two years before But
as for disaifection among the Republicans In Cat
araugus County, such thing exists. The party Is
unit in harmony and peace and il there ever was
any di,anectlOn IL was apparent simply In conven-
| ton and never at the polls.
James Colgate, of Buffalo, bright. intelligent and
vigorous made eighty speeches in favor on Hiu in
the campaign of 1883. lie has host Of friends in
Buffalo, and sent by them as a member OF the
contestng delegation to saratoga Neither he nor his
friends recognized, and they returned to Buffalo
in deep disgust. Mr. Colgate now says that he will
sever his right arm from his shoulder before he votes
the Democratic ticket, and that at least 1000 Demo
Gratis in buffalo will vote with him for Fassett and
NrOOman."
Active preparations are being made for the forma,
ton of a Business Mems Republican Campaign Club
that will be Of the largest and most representa-
live ever organized I'm state campaign.
