II am unable TO say very much about the
probable action OF the convention tomorrow, ana
I,puess there isn't anyone in the State who would
take the chance of predicting the nomination.
We OF New-York City are very much Interested
in the candidacy of f.. T. Bartlett for Judge OF
the Court of Appeals. lie is an ideal candidate
so far as the judiciary and bar are concerned, and
n Republican of the highest standing. We are
sur,, that he is Just the man 10 defeat Mr. May
nard, who will seek vindicaton on the Democratic
ticket We will in our resolution stand by the
Minneapolis platform, which We think was never
more popular with the people than since the sue
cess of the Democratic party last November
There is no thought of any delay III our pro-
ceedings for the result of the Saratoga Conv"n-
ton: in fact, | do not think there VIII be- any
occasion for such plan.
Congressman Burleigh, who stood by during Nlr.
Brookfcld's talk. said agree with the chair
man in everything he states. You may say, too
that the party was never more united thdn al
present There are no factions and no quarf"ls
We are going TO nominate the best ticket we can
and then we are going TO work for its success
want to say more in Mr.. hrtlett's praise than has
our chairman: he is one of the Oldest men OF me
New-Yorl bar and comes of the best N"w-Eng-
land stock His grandfather Josiah l'artlett was
Governor aud Chief Justice of New-i Hampshire
and Daniel Webster pronounced the euogy when
he died. The grandson Is an honor To MS Iami
and is the favorite candidate of the New-l ork
Bar Association. an organization many OF whose
leading members are Democrats.
