NEW YORK POLITICS.
TWO DExoCR i1Io CANDIDATES ron
GOVERNOR.
The CLEVELAND Men win Run Horubiowsr,
the True Democracy Will Run Flower.

| ALBANY. Jan. 12-One thing only prevents
| the an,i-snap Mugwumps Of the straight
| Administration brand chagrlned by the re-
| lection OF llornblower. and disgruntled by the
smash NJ OF their hopos OF Federal patronage
| which It foreshadowed. from openly uniting
| with the Republicans In the Legislature to
| override Gov. Flower and that IL the fact that
they have no representatives In either branch.
| The way that happens is this: The anti-snap
| Administration mon, or rather. state Aid Dem
! ocrats as they call themselves are practically
| without organization In the big cities OF thu
| State, but In country districts. and especially
| In Republican stronRholds, they are buoyod M
| by postmasterships cleaned from Washing
| ton. and by the hopes Of other Federal patron
| age to come The Republicans have tina
| local patronage. The regular Democracy has
| no patronage. local or Federal and is. there
| fore, at somo disadvantage. though numbering
IN their ranks by far the greater number OF
voting Democrats. At the late election the
| Hnti-snnp or state Aid Democrats voted gem
| orally. out Of hatred to Senator Hill and re-
sentiment at his contemptuuus treatment OF
| them and their claims. for Republican ogisa-
| tive candidates. and very generally. too. for
| the Republican state ticket. Among the strong
| Republican counties in which these anti snap
patronage hunters boast OF their success in
| swelling the Republican majority in Novem-
| which the Democratic vote fell of 30
per cent; Clinton, on tho Canadian Dor
| der. in which 1t fell or 40 per cent. Cat
| taraugus. where 1t fell of ~ per cent.
| Genosec Fighting Bob Ma1velps county.
| where II fell of ~ per cent: Orleans. whore,
| under antl-snap leader Jim Hanon. the loss
| was ~ por cent. Cleveland getting 3.O6J and
| Meyer 2.279; Oswego. where the loss was "a
| per cont; st. Lawrence where Cleveland had
/ - sNaN
| falling Off OF ?. t24 votes in a Republican coun-
| ~ within year. Tho credit Of this decrease
the anti.snaps give to Dan MaRone and
| many OF them point to the fact that the OPP
| position OF Clevoland's particular friends in
| st. Lawrence was against the Democratic
| nominees generally. Meyers vote for Secretary
| OF state being 3 732. the Democratic vote for
| Senator 3. 7O4. the Democratic vote for Assem-
| blyman ais. and the Democratic vote for
| Court OF Appeals Judge 3.Ol2.
| The anti-snats generally supported the Re-
| publican legislative ticket and as n result OF
| II arc without representation. Erie county.
which Cleveland carried in 1892. has five Re-
| publican to ono Democratic Assemblyman.
| Seneca county. carried ~ Cleveland. has n
| Republican Assemblyman, 80 has Eockland 80
| has Niagara, and so on through the list. In
| their bitterness against the state organization.
| the Anti-snap contingent ovcrreached itself.
for 1t failed to secure solitary senator or AS
| sem blymnn to assist it's leaders in combine
! with tho Republicans in Albany. the Rcpubl-
| cans having received all tho benefit in adj
| vance in the way of votes for their candidates.
| while the enraGed. but now poweress anti
| snaps have been left without any resources
| for alliance until this years election. at tho
| earliest. That they mean Injury and damage
| TO the future aspirations OF Gov. Flower Is
evident enough. They have never forgiven
him for being elected. despite their active
| but covert opposition in 1871. and for get
| ting a larger majority than Mr. Cleveland
| received in New York the year following. The
antI-snaps don't like Flower and they threat
| en- to oppose his reelection vigorously. as they
| did In 1891. but in q different manner. The
| talk is that they will set up boiling ca nd date
| OF their own. and the man now most favored
| for the purpose is william b. Hornblower. lie
