WEDNESDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 3, 18T9. undoubtedly be respectfully considered. The conference lasted but a few minutes, and adjourned until tomorrow morning without doing any business. THE HILL BOOM.

Mr. John L. Hill continues to be a 'candidate for Attorney General, but does hot appear to develop much strength. Mr. a delegate from New Lots, is a most pronounced supporter of Mr.

Hiu, and says he may present his name to the convention. Mr. Bill does not abandon aU hope. He says affairs at present are in an uncertain state, and no one can tell what may turn of jroolclyji are who Hin is. He is unknown to most or them, and they think he ought to 1qo totho votes from his own county first, he la xsally Jftaomlnatton.

The rumor whioh prevailed here this morning for a 'short time that Schxcwas being nrgeH for Controller created some amueemonW According to the rumor the strong point In SflhropdOT'a "favor was that ho would catch the German The Brooklyn men generally laughed at the idea of 'presenting his name to tha oon 1 which make it most undesirable that Tammany should ever attempt to diotate to a Democratic State convention. The experience of the Democratic party in this State, for three years past, furnishes abundant reasons why this attempt, if made, should be resisted that is, if party ascendency in this State is desired; by the Democratic party, as a whole. Tho Republicans at Saratoga. The correspondents of the New York morning papers agree with the statement made in the Eagle last night, that Mr. Cornell's gubernatorial sky is more cloudy than it was twenty four hours ago.

It is not intimated that any of his professed friends have left him. or that any considerable number of delegates reckoned in his behalf are found to be with the opposition. The reason for regarding his nomination as less certain than it appeared on Monday night is found in the impulse given to his adversaries by the arrival of ex Governor Fen ton, Vice 'President Wheeler, Congressman Starin and some other opposition chief tains on the ground, coupled with a growing disposition oh their part to consolidate their forces before' entering the convention. The best informed' observers are of opinion that the delegates whose first choice is Mr. Cornell number about two hundred.

The question is whether, through Senator Conkling's influence, he can induce twenty seven others to vote for him rather than for any compromise candidate whom his more pronounced opponents may agree to support. The following of no other candidate approaches that of Mr. Cornell. Of the two hundred and fifty two votes represented by all of the delegates who are not committed to Mr. Cornell, it does not appear that any man is backed by more than seventy five of them.

Robertson, Starin, Hiscock and Pomeroy have each a following, but it is insignificant compared with Cornell's, and though they could defeat him, perhaps, if they combined, it does not appear that any of the four has declared himself prepared to abdicate in favor of his neighbor. In Bhort, the case comes down to this: Will five or six small factions be weldod into a compact force at the service of some man other than Cornell, or will the already compact force of that gentleman absorb some one of the little factions In saying that the Cornell prospect is hazier than it was, the correspondents mean that there is more likelihood of a fusion of the minor bodies against him than ther was on Monday and early yesterday morning. This possibility has, it seems, been carried toward that which is not altogether improbable by the interference of certain railroad agents in tho fight with money enough at their disposal to reward the wavering patriots who may see fit to go into the anti Cornell camp. The railroad favorite is Senator Robertson, and if money can secure all the votes that are not for Cornell, he will have them. The Administration men and the men who are subject to the manipulation of Fenton, will favor anybody to beat Conkling's favorite.

They may, therefore, we assume, be oounted as certain to vote for Robertson, if the railroad influence can secure for him the heterogeneous elements marshaled by Pomeroy, Hiscock and Starin. Still it is obvious and big diamond ruffians of Tweed's time have been set aside in filling representative positions. It may not be possible for the Kings County leaders to match Tammany in the quality' of its delegation, but they certainly ought to try, especially when' something like, a judicial eminence is likely to be accorded to their, delegation. In the main, the delegates who have represented Kings County in the past in State Conventions accomplish their main purpose in getting their names in the newspapers. Blaine's Little dame.

Mr. Blaine and hia friends are untiring and somewhat unscrapuTous in their efforts to carry the State of Maine at the coming election, and the character of of their efforts betrays their weakness, and shows that they are by no means confident of their ability to make head against the combined opposition. The latest intelligence "proves that if they have not abandoned the hope of electing their candidate for Governor by the popular vote, they are at least looking forward to the prohju bility of the election being thrown into' the Legislature. The little game whioh. they propose to play is of a twofold nature, and its success depends upon the securing of a Republican majority in the House of Representatives of the State.

The Greenback managers claim to have discovered that instructions have been sent out by the Republicans to have Republican votes cast in counties for Eugene Hale for Governor. In the case of no election by the people, it becomes the duty of the lower House to send up to the Senate the names of two of the candidates who were voted for by the people, and from those two the Senate must choose the Governor. If the Republicans control the lower; House, and the opposition the Senate, the operation of this little game will be thkt the House will send up the of Davis and Hale, Republicans, depriving Smiih and Garcelon, the Greenback and Democratic; candidates, of the possibility of an election by the Senate. The suggestion of such an experiment shows that the Republicans do not expect the election of their candidate by the people, and are devoting their endeavors mainly to securing a majority in the lower branch of the Legislature. But it will not do to make so open a confession of weakness as this game would indicate, or to appear to abandon the hope of an election by the people.

It is admitted that the Republican candidate for Governor oannot afford to lose the 200 or 300 votes that would be given to Hale under the proposed arrangement, and it is not likely that the arrangement will be carried into effect unless it should become manifest that Davis cannot secure a popular majority. In the meantime the other part of the twofold game is to be played, and a Greenback bolt has been organized. A number of Greenbackers, acting in obedience to a secret circular, lately met in Portland, and nominated S. D. Green leaf for Governor.

Tho avowed object of this movement is to defeat Smith, the Greenback candidate. Its effect is expected to be, by drawing off votes from Smith, to make the election of been traced the sensational stories as to his violenoe, intemperance and other ruffianly conduct. Those who are in a position to know declare these stories to be utterly without foundation, "and inasmuch aa the rupture is quite intelligible 'upon a more probable hypothesis there seems to be no particular reason why1 credence should be given to defainatdry rumors. That Governor Sprague was violent toward Senator Conkling is very likely, but all things considered few men in his position would haye paused wnere he did. though Mrs.

Sprague's lawyers, who seem to have vainly endeavored to dissuade her frtfm taking the step she has, know, where she now ifl, her husband and others remain totally ignorant of her whereabouts. She and her little ones are fugitives from home, and objects of comment, pity and 'perhaps deri sibn. Whatever may be' the view taken of the case the unfortunate woman has lost her social standing to a large extent, and as is usual with members of her sex in an unfortunate esclandre of this kind, she has by far the worst it. On the other hand, the man in the case prospers and is silent. She is a runaway from home, hi represents the first State of the Union in the Senate.

While all eyes are turned upon her with mingled curiosity and pity, they are at this moment bent upon the cause of her troubles, 'serenely and boastfully dictating the politics of his State. While she, with all her pride, must accept, means of subsistence from the husband she has forsaken, Mr. Conkling is surrounded by a.crowd of political leaders, all waiting on his nod qr shrinking from his frown. No matter how innocent the relations between this forlorn and suspected woman and this autocratic and unabashed politician may have been, tha shame and suffering are all hers, the success and triumph are all hist As usual tho woman goes to the wall. It is the same old story of man's selfishness and woman's sacrifice, whioh is as often told in the gilded records of upper tendom as in the police reports which deal with lower life in the slums.

Public sympathy, no matter what was the relation between the exiled woman and the domineering Senator, will be expressed for the former, and her woes will palliate the sentence of public opinion. But, after all, has not the unfortunate husband Borne claim upon publio sympathy, also Mrs. Sprague may be scandalized and miserable, but she has tho solace of her children's sooiety. Governor Sprague is boreft of his children, and not even his bitterest enemies have been able to deny his doting affection for them. It cannot be a pleasant reflection for an affectionate father that three of his four childron will be brought up by their mother to hold his name in perpetual execration, and to misjudge his fondness as the shallow pretense of a brutal tyrant.

Ho announces his determination to support them as becomes the family of an ex Senator and ex Governor, and to start in life again to earn his living. It will be a dreary pursuit henceforth. He intimates, moreover, that he has a bitter tale to tell should ho ever be driven by despair to the telling of it. Let us hope that the infatuated woman will slowly recover her senses, and refrain from forcing upon the public ear the more distressing details of a scandal which in any phase is sufficiently deplorable. The Herald Still Advising Tammany.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Herald, is still unwearied in tendering advice to the leaders of the two parties in this State, despite the fact that, up to this time, both parties seem to make a point of doing the very things the Herald advises them not to do. In undertaking to run both parties our contemporary will be able, in any event, to tell the losing party that if it had followed its advice it would have done better. The following advice is tendered to Mr. John Kelly this morning too late for Mr. Kelly to take advantage of it If Tammany will go quietly to Syracuse, and there, in very modorate, temperate language, say to the assembled Demoorats that its objection to Mr.

Robinson, whether reasonable or not, is still serious and not to bo overcome, but that it will faithfully and zealously support any other candidate whom the rest of the party may fix on, It will be morally Impossible for the convention to renominate Mr. Bobinson; though we frankly admit that if the Republicans nominate Mr. Cornell the Democrats will be sorely tempted to take up the Govornor. But if Tammany goes to Syracuse In a blustering and bullying spirit, it will arouse resentments and invite defeat. Indeed! it would be a very great stroke of generalship in Mr.

Kelly if he should even allow the Tilden people to refuse him and Tammany admission to the convention, and if he should there mildly and respectfully accept the situation, and still pro teat againstthe Governor's ronomlnatlon. Good temper is a valuable quality, Mr. Kelly, in the battle you are. fighting. If youhadkopt your temper from the beginning you would, before IhiB, have made Mr.

Robinson's nomination lmpossiblo. This is good advice, but it comes too late. Tammany has decided not to go to the next State Convention in an amiable mood. It has decided to go there in a bullying and blustering spirit, and with the declaration on its lips that it will not support the candidate who may be nominated by the Convention, unless the right of saying who that candidate shall not be is conceded' to Tammany Hall in advance. If Tammany had taken the ground suggested' by the Herald, its case would have had considerable weight with the politicians, whose first desire is to secure success for their party.

We make no doubt at all but that there are a good many politicians in New York who usually vote and work for the Democrat ticket who would have given inson a very lukewarm support, even if Mr. Kelly had waived all opposition. Mr. Robinson removed, and consented to the removal, of Democratic officials in New York City. There are a great many Democrats in that city and outside of it who do not believe that one good Democrat ought, to consent to the removal of another good Democrat, under any circumstances.

The weak point in the tactics relied upon by Tammany to defeat Robinson is in tho fact that they have become familiar even to the point of being commonplace and wearisome. Tammany two years ago demanded the defeat of Bigelow and Fairchild, although it had' no candidates for their places. Tammany had its way, and the party only escaped defeat. Last year Tammany demanded the defeat of "Sam" Hand for Judge of the Court of Appeals the only candidate voted for last year' for a State office. Tammany had its way again, and the Democratio party came as near annihilation in this State, as any party ever can which is contending for vital prinoipies ot government principles which 'wouldfind supporters in this country, even if the Democratic party, as now organized, was wiped off the.

face of the earth. Tammany's present position is wholly untenable. That whioh' the Herald would have Tiad it occupy has been tried, and with success aa far as Tammany was concerned as a participant in the State politics, but with anything but success for the Democratio party in this State. The Hera Id's advice to Mr. John Kelly at this stage of the game is pregnant of "those monotonous sounde of woe; I told you so." It does not seem Mr.

Conkling the dominant chief of a' great party in a great State, while at the same time the lady in' the caseis being'hunte'd 'through Rhode Island as she fugitive from justice. Honors or Odpiiiig pity for Sprague; the world's hand against, the woman. The late John Mitchell had a habit of saying pithy and sharp things, and it is as like as not he was the author, of a phrase he was fond of using, and' itwas to the' effect that "the world is a "dd rascal." of a most harmonious character and tho polls wero opened and elosed promptly on time. John Courtney is tho unanimous choice of tho delegates for th. 'tato Convention, whllo Robinson Is favored for Governor and William A.

Fowlor tor the State Central Committco. TWENTY FIRST WABD. Th Twenty first Ward Democracy evidently Intend going into tha fight this Fall with a united front, if last night's primary is to bo accepted as evidence on thtt point. There was but one ticket in the field, and the greatest harmony and good feeling prevailed. The tioket was a Bobinson one, with either Judge Church or General Slocum as a second choice.

TWENTY SECOND WARD. Contrary to expectation, there was no opposition fac tion In this ward. The primary was held corner of Fifth avenue and Ninth streak Tho ticket is as fol lows Charles Lockwood, Tfionuui oarvey and wniiam Ferris. TWEXTY TnTBD WARD. In (ho Twenty third ward (ba primary passed off very quietly, thero being but one ticket in the field, and that in favor of tha renomination of Governor Robinson, with General Slocum or Judge Church for a second choice.

TWENTY FOUBTH WABD. Thero waa only one ticket in the field at the Twonty. fourth Ward primary. Tho delegate who will represent tho ward in tho State Convention will be Hon. John O.

Jacobs. Tha Gubernatorial contest was canvassed with considerable Interest; and men who professed to speak from a knowledge of "inside" arrangemonta stated that Govornor Robinson would ba tha first choice of tho delegation from tho Eleventh District, and if ho could not be nominated on tho first ballot then General Slocum would bo brought forward. No doubt was ex pressed respecting tha general's cuanco of receiving the nomination, as he Is very highly esteemed lu all parts of the Slato. TWENTY FIFTH WABD. The attendance at the Twenty fifth Ward primary was much larger than has beon tho case for some years past.

Tha polla wero opened at tho Four Mile House, on Fulton streot, between Utlca and Rochester avenues, which has long been rcgardod as tho headquarters of the ward Democracy, and list night there was a noticeably large attendance of members of the party from the north side. There was a very decided preference oxprcssod that Governor Robinson should bo renominated, and for a second choice tho names of Gou oral Slocum and Judge Church were both mentioned. There was only one tickot In tho field, and Abraham Lott and Cornelius Ferguoson were both spoken of as being likely to represent tho district in tho Stato Convention. NEW LOTS. The primary In New Lots was held In Philip L.

Jar dino's hotel, corner of Atlantic and Wyckoff avonuoa. East New York. The supervisors of slectlon wero Edward H. Dunn, Nathan Marks and Edward H. Murphy.

Thero wero 147 votes pollod. There was only ona tickot in tho field, and nothing occurred to make the proceedings disorderly. That perfect harmony exists in tho party in that town was shown by the fact that ona of the delegatos elected Mr. George O. Lowo was but a short time ago one of tha leaders and a candidate for Supervisor of the John Harrington wing of tho party.

The elected dolegatcs aro Philip L. Jardino, George O. Lowe and John Konuedy. Tho delegates will send no ono to tho State Convention unless he Is an ovit and out Robinson man. FLATBUSH.

At FiatbUBh, tho primary was hold In Bergen's hay market, on Grant street, opposite the Town Hall. Tho proceedings were very quiet, and as there was only ono ticket thero waa no gathering of crowds about the polling place. Thero waa a steady string of votora until the polls closed, and as soon as a voter deposited his billot ho would leave. Tho voto cast was 120. Tho delegates elected are John MoKenny, Patrick H.

McCarty and John Young. Tho supervisors of olection were Andrew Rock, James F. Kolly and Thomas Coyne. The dolegates are in favor of sondlng delegates to the State Convention who will enforce Robinson's renomination and who will positively refuse to entertain any second choioe. FLATLANDS.

The Democrats of Flatlands did not take much interest in tha primary, which was hold at Feiter'B Democratic headquarters, Conklln avenuo, Canaruio Village. Indeed, few voters appearod that it looked llko anything but an important primary. The total voto cast was only won ty flvo. Ths elected dolegates are K. L.

Baisloy, John Wilson and John Yerks. Like tho delogates from the other towns, they will only give their votes to mon who will work for Governor RobinBou's renomination. The supervisors of election were Guiler, William M. Clark and William H. Thomas.

OBAVESEND. The primary at Qravesend wai conducted with as much order and decorum as if it waa tho church con Bistory In miBslon instead ol a political performance. The voters wore all men who had breathed good, pure sea air and had bathed In tho Atlantic Ocean all Hummer, in all respecto it was quite different to a town meeting, The Robinson sentiment provails. NEW UTRECHT. The absenco of opposition at tho primary here rendered it a very affair.

Commendablo harmony prevailed among the factions that have so often bitterly contended together, tho following being the ticket chosen Delegates Adolph Gubuer, T. T. Church, T. V. W.

Bergon. KIDSaPPED. A Prominent Canadian Merchant. Toronto, Canada, is greatly excited over the kidnapping of a prominent merchant of that city, on Thursday night last, the 21st nit. He was at his homo on that evening, whon two man called, ono of whom lu 'troducod himself as Detectlvo Johnson, and handed him a note purporting to bo Blgned by Judge Adam Wilson, acting for the Minister of Justice, and directing tho so called Johnson to arrest Mr.

Jau'ray and bring him to his (Judge Wilson's) house at onco. The note further stated that an inimodiate examination would bo held at tho Judge's houBO In roforence to cortsin oharges against Mr. Jaffray of a grave political character and Involving most serious consequences. Mr. Jaffray was astonished, but, tolling his wife that ho going nway on business, ho wont with the mon.

Two men wore on tho box of the carriage, and ho noticed a loiterer noar by, but was not arousod to alarm until tho carriage turned lato the Kingston road, whon ho uotlosd another mysterious loiterer, who gave a whltlo and Immediately disappeared. Ill companions pretended to bo sleepy, and wero not inclined to talk, and the night was intensely dark, but Mr. Jaffray waa satisfied that the rood was not the right ona to tho Judge's house, and kept a sharp eyo upon the would be detective. As the carriage passed along he noticed by the roadside a cottago through tbe windows of which ho noticed lights, and he determined to try to reach it In caso of trouble. The carriage stopped after a little in a lonely spot, and he fully realized that he was to be robbed and perhaps murdered.

He was told to alight, and rofused. Ills captors told him that they would use no vlolonce, but that he was lu their power. They represented, they said, a secret political society which met In tho neighborhood. He waa to ba taken to the rendezvous, where ho would learn what was to be Baid to him. They intended to curtail hiB liberty but not to harm him In any way.

Ho refused to move and one of the men Jumped upon him and tried to drag him out Into tho roadway. He was pulled from the carriage and ona of tha men pointed a pistol at his head and ordered him to obey. Mr. Jaffray refused, and seeing still the lights lu tho cottage ha set out to run. His assailants overtook him, and a third time tbey caught him.

Ho gave one of the men a blow on the head and felled him to the ground and then ran for his life. A fourth time ho was ovortaken, but his superior strength availed and he reached tha cottage and saw to till intense relief the two rush down the bill and drive away at a furious rate, A sturdy man hitched up hk horses, armed himself and lent a revolver to Mr. Jaffray and the two returned to the city. The police next morning found a carriage and horses with no ono In charge In the streets, and the abductors are known to have escaped to the American aide in a sailboat. The Hon.

George Brown, tho editor of tho Globe In Toronto, was visited in the samo way a night or two previous to that on which Mr. Jailray was enticed from homo, and since then several other prominent persons hare been visited by the abductors, whose movements are extraordinary and thus far unexplalnabia. The police aro working energetically to find tho gang engaged in theee kidnapping Bchemes. OBITUARY. James Lindsay.

Mr. James Lindsay, of the firm of Georgo Bruce's Son Ac type founders in New York, died at his residence, No. 100 Wilson street, E. yosterday morning at about four o'clock. He contracted a cold less than a week ago which dovciopod in pneumonia under which ho sank rapidly.

Mr. Lindsay was a native of Glasgow, and was fifty three years of age. His father was foreman in tha type foundry of A. Wilson Sons in that city, and James, with hia brothers, enjoyed tho best opportunity for acquiring a thorough knowledge of the type manufacture. James came to America in 1851, and entered tha employ of George Bruoe.lu Chambers street, who soon xacbgnlxed in him a workman of unusual genius and skill a man not only to bo trusted with Ideas, but one who had Ideas of bis own to supplement the performances of his employer.

The bond between Mr. Brace and his young superintendent grow stronger every day, until at length the former died. It was at this Juncture XthatyAndsay' presence In the foundry became in a short time tha younger Bruce executed the wish of his father by taking Mr. Lindsay Into tha firm. Mr.

Lindsay was widely known and boloved. He waa the President of the WlUlamsburgh Burns Club in 1853 and ISSt, at a time when that organization included in Its membership no Insignificant array of undtiutod and educated Scotchman. Mrs. Uridaay visited Edinburgh about five years ago In quest cf health. She died, and her husband traveled acrossjho Atlantic, In a broken hearted condition, to bring tha remalna Jo Brooklyn.

Since that time Mr. Lindsay occasionally evinced a remarkable degree of melancholy, and it was only when engaged In the society of business man on business that he appeared to be of his old time vivacity and cheerfulness of manneT. Ho waa well known among nowspapar men In Now York, and among printers generally. Tho ad vice of Mr. Lindsag In regard to type waa always conclusive with purchasers.

He not only knew how types should ba made, but also how they should be treated. Mr. Lindsay's brothers all survive him. John is chief of an establishment doing a large business In Fulton street, Now York William, a younger brother, slap in buainaas Sew York, resides in this city. Alexander went to London several years ago, and Robert has.

retired, from business. Mr. Lindsay leaves, to mourn his loss, boddo; his brothers and friends, two daughters and a son, the latter being engaged in the foundry where his father for many yean held sway. Mr. James Lindsay lovod the history, tho the songs and the people of native land.

Notes on ttao Wards. FIESX WAED. The primary was held on tho corner of Love lane and Henry Btreet, and did not excite any enthusiasm. There was only one ticket In tho field, and tho delegates will be found under the proper heading. As near as could bo ascertained, thoy favored Robinson first, last and all tho time, but the drift of their inclinations for Governor did not enter into the primary.

The vote was light only about 185 being cast. SECOND WABD. Thero was no opposition ticket. The delegates aro in favor of Governor Robinson but are reticent as to their views. THIRD WABD.

The primary iu this ward was hold at No. 205 Pacific street. 235 votes were polled. Thero was no opposition, and consequently, the regular ticket was elocted almost unanimously. Everything passed off quietly.

The delegation will be for Robinson or the man having the greatest chances for nomination. FOURTH WABD. There was only one ticket, and it was understood to be favorable to Governor Robinson, with no strongly expressed opinions. Everything was quiet and a small vote was polled. FIFTH WABD.

About two hundred votes were pollod at tho Fifth Ward primary, whioh was held at Long's carpenter Bhop on York street. There was one ticket in the field, containing the following names Luka Devaney, P. J. Kelly and John O'Connor. There was not tho slightest approach to a disturbance of any kind.

The above delogates olaim. to be unpledged in every respect, and nothing could bo ascertained regarding tholr complexion. The Fifth and tho Eleventh wards compriso tho Fourth Assembly District. SIXTH WABD. This ward, with the First, makes up the First Assembly District.

The primary was hold at No. 185 Union street, and as there was only one ticket in tho Sold the vote was very light, and no interest was manifested in tho ovont. Inquiry failed to develop any special prof, erence for a Gubernatorial candidate, as tha delegates of tho primary leave that to th) delegates sent from the Assembly Convention; Bobinson was the choloo, as near as could bo ascertained. faZVENTH WABD. Tho polling passed off quietly at the Seventh Ward primary, whioh was held In a shoo store on DeEalb avenue, near dcheack street.

Thero was an opposition tioket running, consisting of Denis Slattery, Richard Kenny and Richard Crane, but tho regular ticket was elected by over 700 majority. The sentiment of the voters is largely in favor of Robinson for Governor. EIGHTH WABD. The primary In the Eighth Ward was hold In the carpenter shop, corner of Third avenuo and Twenty third street, and was a very quiet one. The delegates elected aro Matthew Bongard, James Boland and Augustus Davis.

NINTH WABD. The primary was held ooruer ol Vanderbllt avenuo and Paclflo street. Thore was no opposition. The ticket is as follows Patrick McQroarty, Edward Dalley and John Smith, Jr. TENTH WABD.

Tho Tenth Ward primary waa held at the corner of Bond and Butler streets. There was but one tioket in the field, the rogular Democratio ticket, which was elected without opposition, 155 votes being polled. The delegates elected are James Kelly, William H. Belford 'and Edward Lyman, all of them Robinson men. ELEVENTH WABD, Tho Eleventh Ward primary was hold on tho corner of Wtlloughby street and Hudson avenue, 280 votes being polled.

There was but one ticket In the field, and everything passed off harmoniously. There were, ot course, a few challenges. John T. McGovern, Robert Denver and Patrick Murray wero tho delegates elocted. It la understood that these gentlemen favor Bobinson for Governor, and after him Chief Justice Church, providing ha would accept tho nomination.

Thoy refused, however, to glva any definite expression to their preferences. William A. Fowler is said to be their candidate for tho State Central Committee. TWELFTH WABD. The Twelfth Ward Is an Assembly District by itself the Fifth and tho three delegates elected last evening will choose the delegates to the State Convention.

It Is hoped tho throe will havo a harmonious meeting, and not develop a triangular contest. The primary was hold on the corner of Bapelysa and Blobards streets, and was over by five o'clock, so that when tha reporter appeared on tha ground he had a little difficulty In flnolDg out what bad been accomplished. There was no opposing ticket in tha field, and consequently no Interest was taken in the matter by the voters. The delegation from the Fifth will go for Robinson oil day long, and as for second choice oould not indicate tha man, as they had not thought upon that question. THISTZENTH WABD.

There was no opposition to tha regular or Thursby, ticket at lho Thirteenth Ward primary, which was held at tho Domocratto headquarters, 141 Fourth street. The delegates will namo Mr. Thursby at the Assembly Convention as the ward's representative at tha State Convention. Mr. Thursby has no fault to find with the Administration of Governor Bobinson, and will only too gladly vote for his ronomlnatlon.

FOURTEENTH WABD. Tho primary In the Fourteenth Ward was hold at 325 Fourth street, and, aa usual, there was no opposition. On account of a thoughtless report published predicting that there would be two tickets In the field, tho regulars turned out In full force. Thero were nearly 600 votes polled, Qoite a little breeze Is expocted at the Assembly Convention over the third delegate to Syracuse. The Fifteenth Ward Insists on having two delegates, while as a matter of justice and right, tha Fourteenth, tho banner ward of Democracy, is to the two delegates.

But tho whole matter will bo amicably arranged before to morrow evening. Bobinson dolesatea wiU be selected by the Assembly Convention. FIFTEENTH WABD. But one ticket waa ran at the primary, which was tho quietest held In many a year in the ward. A light vote was polled.

The delegates are unpledged. They prefer a home candidate, If one such shall ba put forward, and will go for Bobinson. SIXTEENTH WABD. Ah anticipation that an opposition ticket would ba run in this ward waa not realized. Yery llttio interest was manifested by tho voters, who appeared In swan force at the primary.

Tha delogates are for Biles first, ahoald be come up, and, for second choioe, BoblmwD. BEVKNTEBNTH WABD. There was only one tickot presented attlw Seventeenth. Ward primary, the regular ticket, aa represented Jy ex Alderman ConnoUy. Should tho ward be conceded two delegates to tho State Convention, which Is probable, they will support Robinfbn for renoQubatio'd.

EIGHTEENTH WABD. There waa a marked absence 6f tha ward managers who, learning that things ran smootbly.Jf they appeared at the primary 'aj aU remained for a brief time only. The votina was figured at a small figure, com paratively speaking. The delegates are nan committal, with a prefere'Bco for Bliss, but will go for RoMnsoa. NINETEENTH WABD.

Ono ticket only was in. tho field In tha Nineteenth Ward. The delegates are unpledged, but will go lor Robinson. TWENTIETH WABD. Michael Grant, George M.

Coyle and Thos. A. Murray were tho delegates elected from tha Twentieth Ward to tho Ninth Assembly District Convention. One hundred and forty tiifca vote wore cast, tha odmarv being UnuBttaUyLarjje Gathering of Lead ing the City of the Springs; Intense Excitement Orer Gubernatorial Canvass Republicans Discounting (be Renomination of Govornor Bobinson How Cornell's Supporters Propose to Make flood Cornell's Probable Losses by Tammany's Prospective Defection.

Special Correspondence of the Eagle. Babatooa, September a. The Republicans are in full 'possession of Saratoga to night, and the planning and tha for the convention of to morrow go on vrttb a Bpirit and an excitement rarely w(tneflBed In theso preliminary struggles. The convention has brought together an unusually large number of the leading rppresentatlvea of the party in the State. Senator Conkling is, of coarse, the central figure.

Se has oome to direct the movements of the forces of his candidate for Governor, 4. B. CornoU, and an day ha baa been one of the moat active men In town. Then there are ex Senator Fenton, the eage of Jamestown Senators Robertson and Pom erpy, ex Oiovcriior Morgan, ex Lieutenant Governor John O. Bobinson, George B.

Sloan, Prank Hisoook, ex CoUootora. Murphy andi' Arthur, General Hereon, ex Senator Woodln and a score of others prominent in the affairs of. the party whllo tho collection is mado complete by the presence of Vice President William A. Wheeler, who, It is generally understood, will be the permanent Chairman of the convention. The delegates, the number of 452, are on hand, and are accompanied by a large crowd of outsiders, friends of the respective candidates, who hBve come to witness the proceedings to morrow and to work np sentiment in behalf pf tholr favorites, A heavy delegation of the outside supporters of John H.

Starin arrived this afternoon, and, preceded by a brass band, marched from the railroad to the Grand TJnlon Hotel. The town has been FEVEBI8H AND EXCITED all day. During tho forenoon the talk was CornoU, and his rlonds figured out that ho Would certainly control 340 of the delegates. Under the direction of Conkling they were hard at work among the delegates, Becking to win over those who refused to yield their support to bia candidate, and holding others who wero with him but who were inclined to bolt. Mr.

CornoU was at bis headquarters, at the United States Hotel, receiving friendly delegates and communicating with his workers on the outsldo. Senator Conkling moved about among tho throngs, personally presenting the case of Mr. Cornell, and everywhere receiving inarkod attention, If ho aUod in many Instances to convince those whom he met of the propriety of nominating the ex naval officer. The advocates of Mr. Starin were also tho States, while down at Congress Hall Mr.

Hosted was conducting Senator Eobertson's campaign. There was a systematic interviewing of delegates as they arrived, and Ml day long the caucusing, the hauling and pulling and plotting went on. Eobertson's friends would not listen to the claim of strength made in behalf of Cornell, and Insisted, notwithstanding the Impression which had gone forth that Cornell would oome to Saratoga with a majority of the delegates in his favor, that "It was anybody's race" jet. Storln'a friends did a great deal of loud talking, tut ho did not seem to develop much strength. All sorts of rumors prevailed and there were hints thrown oit about a "dark horse" in the person of Sloan or Curtis.

Pomeroy made a poor showing. Hiscock, backed bj Jim Beldon, of the old canalers, and a orowd from Syracuse, was talked up considerably, but by common coisent the light wae looked upon as really between Cornel on the one side and Bobertson and Starin on tho other. Tfte main OJJEOTIONS TO OOBNELIi were that he ffaa unpopular with tho masses of the party, and themf ore weak that he represented the dx tremo anti Administration wing of tho party, and that he was the candidate of the machine or of the State Committee. Ibpresontatives of the Board of Trsde, the Farmers' Ailianco, the Grangers and the Milk Dealers' Association, (the latter being represented by Mr, Killmor, cf Brooklyn,) were pronounced in their opposition to lira, on the ground that he was the choice of the monopolies and corporations. They said they did not come here as poUticians, but as anti monopoly men, and the; extended their opposition to Bobertson and Starin, faa the same reason that applied to CornoU.

They prjtostcd against tha nomination of either of those three candidates, and urged tho selection of Mr. Sloan. Tley Interviewed delogates and sought to create a sentiment In the crowds of politicians that filled the hotel, corridors and plazzaa. There is undoubtedly a doop seated feeling against the railroad and other great corporations of the State, and the question raised by tha oatl monopolists In the course of the in I vestigation of the Legislative Committee which has Just closed hore, will enter Into the discussions and have considerable bearing upon the results of the campaign, ilessra. Cornell, Bobertson and Starin are classed as tht friends of these corporations, and it is claimed that this would Injure either greatly If ha were nominated, if it did not assure his defeat from the start.

Mr, Bobertson was once oounBel for the Harlem Railroad Company, but one of his close friends, young Ham. Fish, said tvday, that he always voted right on questions in wnioi the railroads wore interested. Mr. StarlnlB extensively engaged In the transportation business, and oheajjlrftnoportatlon Is the shibboleth of the anti monopoly men (as they etyla themselves) who have been at work hire to day. There ie a large number of Republicans opposing Mr.

Cornell who aro personally friendly to him, but who think that his nomination would bo EQUIVALENT TO DEFEAT. They say they would be pleased to see bim nominated if he could be elected, but they do not believe he oould succeed, for tho simple reason that he could not command the Bupport cf the large body of independent Republican voters scattered'through the State. They contend that the dissensions now existing and which promise to continue to exist in the Democratic party, insure Republican success this Ml if a proper candidate be nominated, one who will receive the support of this mass of Independent vofors. They predlot the renomination of Governor BobinBon by tho Democrats, and assert that if CorneU is nominated, the losses which Robinson will sustain by the treachery of Tammany Hall will be more than mido up by the votes of independent RepiibUcans vho wlU not take to Cornell. The presentation ot the case In this light la met by friinds of CornoU with the declaration toat the unpopularity of that gentleman Is grossly exaggerated; that the opposition to him among the misses of th 'party throughout tho State is not nearly so great as represented, and that if he is nominated ha can easily win, with the dissensions that wiU occur In the Democratio party.

They claim also that he was imong the foremost of the men who solidified the BopubHcan paity In tha State of New York when Hayes endeavored to break it ap, and that his nomination will be a fittiag rebuke to the President and a merited reward for Mr. Cornell's loyalty to the party at a time when it needed his aid. The men who oppose him most bitterly say ttat ha has no claim upon the party whatever, and it Would bo political suicide to nominate him. Mr. Cornell has a host of friends in Saratoga, and they ore confident hat despite all tho opposition ho will have tht first place on the ticket.

A STEVHOE STOUT. There is apparently a willingness on tha part of tha GomeU men to. gi.te the balance, of the ticket to their opponents, with possibly, the exception of the treasurer Bhiji, the nomination fop'whlch they want for Nat Wendell, of Albany, provided, however, that either tha rival ronmdates ior 'first place, orthalr Immediate rep resontatlvoe, be the nouilnees. Thla certainly appears strange; tout, it was said on gCKid authority this afternoon, that the Cornell men hail Bobertpon to take the nomination for Controller, Hiscock fox Attorney General, Sloan for Lieutenant and Pomoroy for Seoretary of State. Furthermore, rumor had that somo suoh result was not improbable.

Then again, friends of Mr. Sloan asserted that he would not take second place. "Try hlin and eo 'if he won't," said the other Bide in effect. Friends of tha other men also Bald that such an arrangement as indicated was utterly out of the question. They did not intend that Cornell ahould recel va the first place.

As the day wore on and 'evening drew nigh, the excitement waa lnoreased by tha announMmenttHat Cornell etock was declining, and that both Rpliertson and Starin were forging ahead. AleaUing; Bubll'can vho had talked with parties on all side's, gava it his opinion that there wag an tmorganizad majority of the delegates agaiiiBt. Cornell r' 'but that tha trouble was they could not agree upon oandidate, and it was probable that this 6pposiH6n ouId weaken by fcHpaorrow and Cornell would reoelve soma of' its votes. He said he did not doubt that1 Cornell would be nominated, but he questioned whetKer it would lie on the first ballot, aa many have been, olaimtog it would be. Anti Cornell men predict, that he will lead on the first two or tore ballots, and then there wiho a bolt among his aupportoia to another candidate, possibly soma ''dark 'horse." AU tbia Is a sample of tho work and taut' that have characterized tho day and evening, and we the probabilities at present are strongly in favor of the selection of Cornell, no one can tell what may ocpuV: between no and to morrow, when "the convention shall meet.

It has been whispered about the hotels to hlghf that CorneU will be out, tha same as he got'out before; but there is to be no foundation to the rumor. CorneU Is much stronger thai hb was before, and, from present appearances, has the game In his own hands. WHAT THE BROOKLYN MEN ARB SAYXKQ AND porao. The day has been rather an uneventful one for tho Brooklyn men. There Is a large attendance of Brook, lynttas here other than delegates.

Its value a an Advertising Medium is thereiore apparent The Democratic jmeuinia in this State.

The Rochester Union, is edited by the Chairman of the Democratic Stata 'Committee, and both the paper and its editor warmly espouse the side of Tammany Hall as against Governor Robinson. Under the plea of giving advice to the Democrats of the State, the following defense of Tammany's present position is offered by the Wo urgo Democrats to rend and think we'J on the rea sona presented by the New York City Democracy why an obnoxious candidate should not be forced upon thorn. That Demodracy, always true to Domoorattc principles and regular Democratic nominations, and, with rare exceptions, for which they are not responsible, Insuring success by a vote which overcomes the Republican majority in the rest of the Slate, have a right to bo heard and hooded when they present a grievance. Togo into the present canvass witha candidate who cannot oom mand the vote of Now York City, and with the third party vote certain to be Increased over its flguro of last yoar, if an obnoxious nomination be made by the Detnooratlo State Convention, is simply madneBB. It is to blindly adhore to the fortunes and interests of one man in a party of over half a million of men, and sacrifice the latter for the former.

For as surely as the Republicans carry tho coming election, with all tho power and patronage following, just so surely will those who live see a succession of BepubllOm; vlctOriSS i th? State for ten years to come. The, case for Tammany is, doubtless, presented as forcibly as is possible in the above extract, but still it amounts to very little more than this Since Tammany Hall thrtatens to bolt, if Mr. Bobinson is renominated, the best thing the Democrats of the State can do is to conciliate Tammany by setting Robinson aside. In this event, Tammany will havo no excuse for bolting at this time. On its face, this would appear to bo a very simple way out of the difficulty.

It involves no more than giving Tammany its own way. As addressed to politicians there is force in the Union's advice as addressed to a great many voters, who take but a citizen's interest in politics, it would weigh and count, we fancy, for very little. There is a monotony in Tammany's position of late years, which has grown to be wearisome, even to politicians. Let 'is illustrate In 1877, tho Tammany leaders wont to the State Convention avowedly without any candidates for any of the State offices then about to become vacant, but they demanded the defeat of certain Democrats who wore serving their first term in the offices they then held, notwithstanding the fact that there was no fault found by the voters at large with the manner in which these gentlemen had fulfilled the trusts reposed in them. Tammany was then for "a new ticket," and for the displacement of all the Democrats then in office, whoso terms of service were about to expire.

Mr. Bigelow was then Seoretary of State, and Mr. Fairchild was Attorney General. Tammany demanded that these two gentlemen, at all events, should be set aside, and it threatened, if this was not done, that an entire "new ticket should be nominated. The threat was doubtless made to help to secure the defeat of Bigelow and FairchhJ.

A combination was made that year between Tammany and what was left of the old Canal Ring, and Bigelow and Fairchild were defeated for a re nomination. Here Tammany and'fts allies stopped short either for lack of power or lack of courage and two old ticket men were renominated, namely, Oleott for Controller and 3'ouug Mr. Seymour for State Surveyor. Now, the most provoking thing about Tammany's position that year was that it had no candidates for the positions of the officials it insisted upon having set aside. Nor could Tammany give any reason for opposition on public grounds.

Mr. Fairchild had had, it was supposed, a personal difficulty with Mr. John Kelly a difpute on a question of veracity. If we recollect aright, Bigelow was objected to by Tammany on the ground that he had in some of his published writings in some way antagonized tho pretensions of the Pope It is due to Tammany, perhaps, to add that the latter point was not held to be of concern to Tammany, only in the sense that Tammany's local foes would take advantage of it, in case Tammany favored Bigelow. Tho result of this election is worthy of thoughtful consideration, in view of the existing situation.

The candidates who were nominated in place of the officials who were set aside at the instance of Tammany, ran several thousand votes behind the candidates who were renominated in the ordinary way, and in accordance with the hitherto unbroken usage and unwritten law of both parties that the incumbent of a State office, who had fairly met public expectation in1 discharging its duties, should be indorsed by a renomination. This discrepancy was the more notable, because the now men were wholly unobjectionable. There were two waysof accounting for it: One way was, that fifteen thousand voters who voted for Oleott for Controller would not vote for Beach for Secretary of State, because of the insolent way in which Bigelow was set aside in Beach's favor. In other words, that fifteen thousand voters resented Tammany's dictation thnt year. The other way of explaining it was preferred by Tammany Hall It was thirt the friends of Tilden and Robinson "knifed" the candidates supported by Tammany, in revenge for not being allowed to have their way.

We are not prepared to assert that the explanation first given is the true one, but we have no hesitation in saying that tho second is wholly untenable. For instance, in Kings County the Democratic organization printed and circu 1 lated the State ticket, as a whole, and in the ordinary way. The Democratic politicians were as much surprised as anybody else could be, when it was found, after the election, that Oleott beat Beach in this county a great many hundred votes, while the names of both gentlemen were upon the same ticket. Now we come to the next year: By the death of the venerable Judgo Allen a vacancy was made on th9 bench of the Court of Appeals. Governor Robinson, in pursuance of his duty, temporarily filled it by appointing Mr.

Samuel Hand to the position. By the common consent of the leaal profession, there wris no man in the State better qualified for the place than Mr. Hand. His practice at the bar of the Court of Appeals was not equaled by that of any lawyer in the State. His experience, his abilities, and the bent of his mind qualified him for becoming even a great Judge.

On personal grounds he was alike commended and commendable. Tammany came to the convention of 1878, and it had "no candidate for Court of Appeals Judge. It insisted only on this that Mr. Hand should be set aside. It was not pretended this time, that Mr.

Hand and the Pope were not on at least indifferent terms, but it was held that "Sam" Hand must be set aside, because, as a member of the Municipal Commission, he had given a qualified assent to a proposition which such Democrats as the late Judge Lott supported that there should be established in the several cities of the State what was termed a Board of Finance, and that for the members of this Board only taxpayers and rent payers should vote. If this was a good reason why Mr. Hand should pot be elected to a judicial position, it is a far better reason why he shall never be nominated for any. position of honor and trust at the hands of the Democratic party. Tammany had its way again.

Mr. Hand Was set aside. There was but one State office to be filled that year. The Democratic candidate was beaten by forty thousand, and the party was so" demoralized that it did not elect to the Assembly in that year members enough to present a constitutional opposition. Now, and for the third time in.

succession, Tammany is on bond again, and, as usual, with "no'candidate of its own," but with the open threat that if Governor Robinson is renominated, Tammany will defeat him at the polls, if it can. Charges enough presented by Tammany against Robinson to furnish the Republicans with ammunition for the entire cam paign that ib, if Tammany's ammunition is good for anything if Mr. Robinson should bo the candidate of the Democratic party. Now, if for a third time the same tactios for bulldozing the Democratic party in the State prevail, it would not surprise 1 any intelligent Democrat judging from past experience if it should be conceded that the bottom had fallen out of the Democratic campaign just about two days after the adjournment of the approaching Democratic Stats Convention. We think we are justified in "urging Domo Crate to read and think well on the reasons" veiiuon.

it was ascertained that the story was started by one of the delegates who had a sense of tho humorous, and wanted to have some fun. Schroedoi's aspirations in the' direction of tha Governorship aro notorious, and he' would no doubt jump at the chance to uaouro the ConinJllerflhlp to a stepping stone to tho Executive ohalx. There is a pretty general impression in Brooklyn, howeverVthal'Mr. Schroeder has got about as near to Gubernatorial honors as he over will get, and that ls.npt very much, either. The conteBt'betweeri STEWART AND AMMEBMAN, for tha appointment on the State Committea from the Third Congressional' District, is thought by somo to have taken a hew turn since afternoon.

Ammorman, they say, is now ahead, althongh Stewart professes to bo oonfldeht of suooess. Worth said this evening that it looked as if Ammerman would succeed. Ammorman said the racojwog a ddso but looked and spoke as if h'ad'vjon. friend, E. I.

WEBSTEB, who made Republican politics In Brooklyn very lively some eight or nine yoara since, has turned up here. "Web" la in the Federal service as Eovenue agent, and gravely explains that he is not allowed to participate In politics. When asked why he had come to Saratoga at this time, ho replied, with a wink, "Oh, I came to drink the waters, and it happened that a convention wa called for the time I arranged to be here." Webster Is a friend of Cornell, and few men havo more acquaintances than he among the politicians' who throng tho Grand Union and States to night. He is just the same nervous, wiry, active fellow that he was In Brooklyn, and tho opihlonB ho entertains respecting certain leading Republicans In your city, as he expressed them to mo, would make very Interesting reading for somo gentlemen about the City Hall. JUSTICE FISHES has retired from the seclusion In which 'he had hidden himself so long that the politicians began to ask what had become of him, and suddenly he shows up here.

The Judge has been keeping quiet in Brooklyn becauso he is a candidate for the nomination this Fall, and wonts to avoid as far as possible the squabbles of the party leaders. Ha is a warm friend of Cornell, but thinks it lmpolltio to nominate him for Governor. OEOROE F. ELLIOTT came here with the Intention of appearing before the State Central Committee In reference to the recent primaries in tho Twenty third Ward. Tho Nathan faction received tha certiflcato and havo their delegates here.

Elliott's idea was to get the State Committee to refer the matter to tho General Committea for determination, with the view of having the primary of bis faction stamped sb the regular one. Bather lato in the day, but Elliott thought it would bo a good thing to work through, if possible. He has not yet decided whether he will go before tho State Committee or not. The latest phase of the Gubernatorial contest Is tho fact that Fenton Is leading the anU Cornell forces with the view of nominating Bobertson. Starin interferes with the combination by demanding first place, and insisting that he holds the balance of power.

Twenty first street, near Fourth avenue, Now York, waa sacked by burglars on Friday night last. The house been robbed several times previously, during the absence of the family In the country, and the police were specially Instructed to watch it. Every precaution had been taken to fasten it securely. The house Is opposite a drug storo, which is open late at night. It was supposed to bo safe, The druggist kopt a watch over the house, and Captain Williams, in whoso precinct it Is, had orders to see that It was carefully watched.

Tha silverware and valuables had been removed from the house, and the burglars were disappointed In not finding what they expected. They took revenge by breaking, bending and bruising the plated wars in the house, Entrance was effected through thftvftult cover on the sidewalk, a servant having neglected to fasten It with the Chain provided for that purpose. The and trunks In tho houso wero broken open and emptied of their contents. Family keepsakes)1 private papers and clothing wore thrown over the ficx in oorjoelon; Among the things missing are two camel's hair 'shawls, gold and silver medals, bronze clock and figure and dresses of value.

that the ohanoes are greatly in Cornell's favor. The management which can be beaten after securing two hundred votes, and when it is in a position to reward additional accessions by desirable places on tho State ticket, must bo very poor. There are doubtless delegates to this, as to most other conventions, who can be bought with money, but there must be a good many, who, proof against temptation of that sort, are only sus ceptible on the side of ambition. Upon all these Mr. Cornell's backers are in an excellent position to operate.

There are six rilaces on the State ticket, and each can be ussd to control at least a dozen votes. The Cornell men say they desiro only the Governorship, hence they are in a position to distribute the six other places among those who aro not with thorn at present, or who, finding that the nomination of their favorite for the head of the ticket, will go where there is most political profit. For these reasons we believe Mr. Cornell will carry off the prizo. As the contest progresses, tho fact grows plainer that the real contest is between Senator Colliding and all who, for any reason, dislike or detest him.

The objections chiefly presented to Mr. Cornell by those opposing his nomination are insinoere. He is said. to be a machine man, a person who owes his prominence to his money, one who is not distinguished for comprehensiveness of mind. These, it is needless to say, are considerations that never controlled the vote of any politician for any candidate.

The utter absurdity of any friend of Fenton or Robertson objecting to a candidate beoauso he is a machine man is manifest, and the absurdity is not less on the part of those Who gloried in the victory they obtained when against the Conkliug influence, they nominated ex Governor Morgan three years ago. Mr. Cornell is doubtless far enough from being as groat a man as Lord Bacon, but even his enemies will admit that he comes nearer to that great standard than Morgan in that he can spell words of two syllables and construe a plain English sentence' while on the money issue the most hardened opponent of Conkling will hardly deny that the ohief reason for selecting Morgan was that ho had barrels of money and would use it liberally. It is preposterous to urgo it as a reason why a man should not be nominated that he has been prominent in the work of his party, and has been at the head of its organization. If it is proposed to destroy the organization there is reason in objecting to the man who has been laboring to make it effective but it is preposterous to seek all the advantages of organization, and then denounce the man at the head of tho machine.

It is not doubtful that the anti machine talk is as a ride hypocritical. No sane person proposes to resolve the party back to chaos and the force that keeps it in effective form is this derided arrangement called the machine. The truth about Mr. Cornell is, that he is a gentleman of average intelligence, of gentlemanly habits and diligent in the work of forwarding what ho conceives' to, be party interests. We have not heard of anything particularly wrong that he ever did, and if he had done any such thing wo would doubtless have heard of it from tho people who are opposing him.

He brought the influence of a good name to his party and made a liberal use of his means for the advancement of; its purposes. As a member of the Assembly and as Speaker of the House, ho was neither better nor worse than scores of other gentlenien who pass through that body without incurring odium or stimulating praise. In a word, Mr. Cornell is a. good average Republican, whose great sin in the eyes of his opponents is that he is the friend and favorite of Senator Conkling.

It ought to bo said in justioe to him that if he resembles his chief in charaoter he is more worthy of trust than any of the men who in this fight represent the grasping corporations of the State, He can at least be trusted not to steal the publio money or tfetray the people for base considerations, and that is more than can be affirmed of some of his opponents. In saying this much of Mr. Cornell, the Eagle has no other1 object than to deal fairly With a gentleman who has been most unfairly'; dealt with where ho ought to have been generously treafeSdj and whom wo shall, in all probability, have to oppose in the coming Campaign; The war that' has been made on hito has been dishonorable, and, fitly enough, the of defeating him 'is based on the possibility of Cm alliance between platitu dinous hypocrisy and open corruption of, the railroad stripe. Whatever be the outcome of the convention in the shape of candidates, it is plain that there is a serious Split in the Republican party of the State. The Democrats have their Tammany trouble, but it is fully offset by file Conkling quarrel.

If Qje Senator comes out of' this convention beaten, he roan have no possible interest in securing a Republican victory this Fall, and if he wins, his opponents cannot, without the most glaring self stultification, contribute to the election of Mr. Cornell. Of the Democratic prospect it can at least be said that no oandidate has been named at Saratoga, with the possible exception of Mr. Sloan, whom Governor Robinson ought not to defeat without the vote of New York Tammany Hall will send as delegates to the approaching Democratic State Convention such men as John Kelly, Augustus Schell, William Dorsheimer, Judge and a host of bright and able young niea like Thomas J. Creamer, Thomas F.

Grady, etc. It is due to Mr. Kelly to say that he has improved immensely on the class of men who represent New York City in Democratic State Conventions. The big fisted Davis possible. It is morally certain that the bolt has been engineered by Blaine and his riendB, and that its motive force is the Republican campaign fund.

The game is similar to that which was played in Indiana in 1876, when the Greenback candidate for Governor was induced to withdraw on the eve of the election, in the hope that the Greenback strength would be transferred to the Republicans. That game did not succeed in Indiana, although the withdrawing Greenbacker advised his friends to vote the Republican ticket. It may bo that all is fair in politics, as in love and war but the situation of Mr. Blaine and his friends must be pretty desperate when they are compelled to resort to such schemes. A Political Episode What MigUt Have Been In hunting about for additional reasons which might be offered to justify Tammany Hall in bolting the nomination of a Democratic Governor, who, during his present and first term of office, has served the people of the whole State with conspicuous and unchallenged fidelity, and largely to the end thpt next year a citizen, who was elected President of the United States by the Democratic party and defrauded out of the office, shall have no redress, the document which follows has been discovered in the political records of the past by one of the Tammany newspaper organs.

It is taken from the Evening Post, of July 10, 1848: Mabtin Van Bdiieh and the Fbeedom of tiie Soil Democratic Eepudlican Meeting in the Pahk. Tho Demooratlo Republican electors of the City of New York, ana all others In favor of the election of, Martin Van Buren as President and of the Preservation of Free Territory for Fred tabor, and opposed to any so called "compromise" which surrenders the beat portion of the free soil of Mexico ii California to eternal slavery, are requested to meet in the Park, on Tuesday, the 18th day of July, Instant, at six o'olock in the afternoon, to respond to the action of the State Convention held at tttlca on the 33a day pf June. Several eminent speakers will address the meeting, whose namoa will bo hereafter announced. Signed, Stephen It. Harris, IraaoV.Fowl.eb, F.

The history of this country would have been essentially changed, and the hopes of the friends of popular liberty the world over Would to day have been infinitely brighter, if the Democratio party had followed the leadership of the men whose names are attached to this long forgotten circular.

It was a peculiar infidelity on the part of the American Democracy to have, been at any time an apologist, and at last the apparent defender, of the enslavement on this soil of any race of men. While the Democratic party held that negro slavery was an evil which ought to be gotten rid of through State action, it held an invulnerable position. Under this theory, and under the Influence of successive Democratio Aohninistrations, negro slavery receded from the Connecticut River almost to the Potomac, and it was as safe to advocate negro emancipation in Virginia as it was in New Jferse. When the Abolitionists sincere but hot headed men, who could not be made to believe in the possibility of the calamities which this generation has had to bear demanded Federal interference with slavery, the Democratic party was bound by its principles to resist this, and the position was tenable, for under State action the area of free soil had advanced with, upon the whole, surprising rapidity. When the Demooratio party seemed to join with the extremists of the South in justifying negro slavery per se.

it was not difficult to foretell the troubles whioh would follow sooner or later and in these troubles the Democracy, as an' orjgaiiization, had bear more than its share. The present generation of Democrats are not in a position to estimate fully the wis dom or the folly" of the action taken by. the Free Soil Democrats thirty' years fagoj bul it sounds odd onough to the: present generation of Democrats to asked to condemn Tilden and Robinson for endeavoring to get their party to stand by the principle of free soil' for free labor If their views had prevailed, the calamity of civil war might have been averted, with all its horrors, and confederated 'Republicanism in America the 'safeguard of Individual freedom here and the inspiration of the friends of freedom the world 'Over would not challenge the hardly concealed opposition of one of bur two great parties; which is looking to the man on rather than to the majority of the American people for the safety of a government which was made by the people, for the and which, must be maintained by tha people, if it is to be main tained at all. Tlie Status ot tle Spragne Family. Whatever may have been the original cause of the disagreement in the Sprague family, it is pretty, eleftr, now that the last chance of a reconciliation' has gone.

His family, like his fortune, is a complete wreck, and it is perhaps bootless for tho publio to inquire into the causes that have brought it about. Tho husband's moderate course in rofusing to make anyJdisclosures is in striking contrast with that of some of Mrs. Sprague's injudicious friends, to whom have At this: writing, it is doubtful Controller Kelly is so far Boss of the Democratio party in this State that he can one candidate for Governor; C.onkjing's ability; to beat half a dozen candidates is now being tested at Saratoga.
