HAD ENOUGH OF DIX
James w. Wadsworth Thinks New
York Wants a Different Governor.
tBy telegraph 20 The Tribune. ]

BY TeIesraph 10 inc ilipuHS'l
Buffalo, July S0.-James W. Wads-
worth. tr., who is a candidate for the
Republican nomination for Governor,
thinks the people of New York are ready
to make a change in the governorship
after two years experience with the
present executive.
Mr.. Wadsworth has been consulting
some Of the prominent Erie County Re-
publicans here. Just before leaving for
his home. in Livingston County. he said:
There Is every indication that the Re-
publicans will carry New York State
this fall. Two years Of a Dix-Tammany
administration ought to be enough for
any state. The people are fully in
formed regarding the vicious legislation
enacted at Albany by Democratic Leg
islature and executive, and will give
their opinion on il in November.
Whether the Democrats renominate
Governor Dix, as ne insists they should,
or toss him aside and select new can
didate. the ticket cannot escape the
charge that It was dictated by Tammany
Hall and its upstate allies"

unable on several occasions 10 muster
quorum when il was demanded, In the
Senate to-day it was necessary to call
the absentees and send pages scurrying
about the Capitol TO gather a quorum.
Every day impatient legislators are de-
sorting and going home, but the obstinate
Democratic leaders refuse to come to an
agreement TO bring. the farce TO an end.
There was gnashing of teeth on the
Senate side when IT was announced that
Representative Underwood would send
over half-baked cotton bill. Democratic
Senators Will hold a caucus tomorrow
to decide what shall be done about the
tariff. 1t is not expected that the STU
alton will be appreciably cleared by
whatever action they may take.
Republicans. disguised and disheart-
ened, will probably make no effort to
prevent the passing OF the cotton DILL
but will report it adversely at once ana
allow the Democrats to pass IT, The ques-
tion has arisen. however, whether Mr.
Underwood will not then decide to send
over more bills for the mere satisfaction
of having the President veto them.
The Panama Canal bill and the Post
Office appropriation bills are the only mat
tiers Of importance that remain TO be act
ed upon by the Senate. The Postohice
bill will be taken up tomorrow. There Is
a possibility that the canal bill may not
be acted on at all. The chief obstacles
TO adjournment are the appropriation
bills and the tariff measures, on which
the two houses have so far been unable
TO agree.

was claimed, left the hall, and the con-
testing third term delegates marched in

tr,butjon that has yet come 10 his cam
naign fund II was a check for H,OO0
from William ]. Bryan, who In years
gone by was in the habit Of receiving
contributions rather than making them.
Mr.. Bryan, being now a man of means,
of course. won't miss $1,000 but the re-
ceipt Of his check was pleasing to Gov
ernor Wilson. who on more than one
occasion has frowned on the suggestion
of campaign contributions running into
five figures.
Mr. Bryan Will not see Governor VIII
son until early in September. He has
found that his lecturing dates run 10
September I. after which time he and
his family will SO on a vacation in the
Rockies When this holiday Is over Mr..
Bryan will come East for a heart-to-heart
talk with the Governor.
Governor Wilson told Michael Francis
Doyle. one of Mr.. Bryans intimate
friends, to-day, that ne was sorry he
could not see the Nebraska statesman be-
fore that time, but said he looked for
ward to the meeting with much pleasure.

Says Democrats viii Agree.

II think IL IS utterly unfair said Mr.
Palmer 10 the newspaper men. TO judge
any group in Congress by its attitude
toward bill before 1t goes 10 Congress.
You know one side may feel that the
other side is asking too much and they,
consequently. will ask for too little"
Mr.. Palmer said the differences among
the Democrats were not political. but were
honest differences Of opinion. He said the
Democrats had always thought that one
battleship a year was plenty, and that
carried out the platform pledge for an
adequate navy. Many Democrats, he said.
were Of the opinion that the navy was top
heavy and that more cruisers. GOLFERS,
etc. should be built. He said that when
the bill was finally passed the Democrats
would be found on the right side.
Lewis Nixon. OF New York. held the
Governors ear for half an hour In the
afternoon going over the New York stu
alton with him. Mr. Nixon told the Gov
ernOr that the prospects OF his carrying
the Empire state were excellent.
After leaving the Governor Mr. Dixon
ventured the prediction that with four or
eight years Of Democratic administration
he could see q chance for the American
merchant marine. He said sixty years
OF Republican rule had driven American
ships from the seas.
Asked as to his opinion OF the battle
ship row in Congress and whether he
thought two battleships should be built.
Mr.. Nixon said:
Two. Why. ! am IN favor OF four.
Everything possible should be done TO
aid orr navy, and two battleshlps are
plainly not enough"
