New-York tribune., 1900-08-03

State ticket, IN the opinion of the Republican
leaders here. and that is the factor of the re-
nomination OF the minor Republican State Of
fcers. One OF these officials is William J. Nor
gan OF Buffalo, the State Controller. 1t has
been generally understood that all of the Re
publican State officials of this character John
I. McDonough, Secretary Of State: Controller
Morgan, Attorney-General Davies. State Engi-
neer Bend and State Treasurer Jaeckel would
be renomtnated. IT, however. some prominent
German Republican Of Buffalo should be nomi-
mated for Lieutenant Governor, it is possible
that q denomination would be refused to Con-
troller Morgan, seeing that he also Is resi-
dent Of Buffalo. Geographical considerations. it
is said, might require the scattering of the can
didater ,about the State and thus would prevent
the nomination of candidates for Lieutenant
Governor and for Controller from the same city.
Controller Morgans friends here see his
danger, and are endeavoring to guard him from
defeat One of them said to-day: can see
no objection to taking the candidates for Lieu
tenant-Governor and for Controller from tne 1
same place; for it would strengthen our state
ticket at a point where it may be in danger.
Roosevelt and Woodruff live very close TO-
gether; practically both in NewYork City. II
should he considered also that Norman F.
Mack. Of this city, has just been elected a mem
ber of the Democratic National Committee, ana
that he will pour as large a proportion or the
funds of the Democratic party as he can get
hold of into this county in order TO make d
good showing of the results of his activity;
who inspires this talk about refusing
denomination to Controller Morgan and his as
sociate Republican of1cials?"
ut chiefly comes from Louis +. Payn'
He desires the nomination of j. Rider Caoy'
Of Hudson. for Attorney General? e.. -,
oh any place the State ticket Tor MS
friend Cady will satisfy him. There is this to ne
said however that the nomination OF new
state ticket will be virtually a condemnation
of the administrations of the present Republlcan
State officers. We here in Buffalo believe tnat
they have been industrious, honest ana enlcleh!
officials and that they deserve renomlnatioh.
In 1896 William Mckinley, the Repuollcan
candidate for President received 42;ol2 V3tes
in Erie County. while William j. Bryan mao naa
