THE POLITICAL PROSPECT. Ceneral Dix To Be Nomi nated for Governor. ANALYSIS OF THE OPPOSITION. Senator Conkling’s Intrigues tu Defeat His Election. sao aa A Bargain with The O’Kelly for | the Benefit of Tilden. LonG BRANCH, Sept. 10, 1874, ‘The nomination of Governor Dix by the Repub- | lican State Convention is uo longer doubtful, and his election vy the people is almost, if not quite, ascertain. ‘he opposition to the Governor in the republican ranks, althougu embracing most of the leading managers of the President's special clique io New York, never had any real strength, its disastrous tailure proves how little infuence ts possessed by the New York poiiticians who enjoy the countenance and control the patronage of the federal administration, Senator Conkling desired to get Governor Dix out of the way. liss, Daven- port, Sharp and all the understrappers of the Senator labored to prevent the renomination of the Governor, Collector Artbur, itis true, refused to go into the crusade, and Mr. [homas Murphy Bever gave it much encouragement, Ex-Governor Morgan, immediately on his return from Europe, denounced the intrigue, but it had nevertneless the aid of all the working element of the aammis- tration ring in New York. Yet, although Conking And bis aids buast of controling the local organ- \gatious throughout the State and or being able to pack the conventions of the party at their wili, they have found their conspiracy against Governor Dix utterly powerless betore the popularity of the Veteran statesmun, SENAIOR CONKLING’S MOTIVES. It 1s easy to understand the reason of Senator Conkling’s opposition to the renomination of Gov- | ernor Dix by the republican party. The second lection of the Governor, especially at a time when the republicans of other States are being mowed down right and leit by the sharp scytue of public opinion, would make the old patriot a formidable candijate for the succession in 1876. In every conceivable element of availability he is the supe- rior of the Utica attorney. He has a military rep- Utation, which Conkling lacks, His famous order, “if anybody hauls down the American flag, shoot bim on the sput,’’ 13 as good a war cry as was ever aged to rally the army of voters in a Presidential battle. He bears about him no taint of Congres- sional jubbery, irom which the Senator, with all his good fortune, may not be entirely free. His hands have never been defiled by moiety filth in the shape of counsel fees or in any other form. He bas uo responsibility for carpet-bag recon- Mruction. Governor Dix is democratic in his republicanism, and thus meets the Progressive spirit of the age, and especially the Western and Southern sentiment, which an old liue whig like Senator Conkling Jails todo. Now Wf anything should dispose effectually of Presi- | dent Grant’s third term movement it would seri- ously embarrass Senator Conkling’s plans to have 40 formidable a rival in New York as Governor | Ia candidate should be taken from New | Dix. York, what political body would be foolish enough to select @ politician who had never been a candi- Gate belore the peopic of lis State, and against whose nomination two-thirds of his own party ‘Would protest, ia preference to one who had twice carried the State, and once at least under adverse circumstances? ‘The election of Dix by a good majority in November next, 1872, and at the moment when the republican fag im other States is trailed iu toe dust, will place the veteran statesmau at the head of republican- | asm in the Union, This 1s precisely what Senator Conkling fears, und uence tue atrempt to'prevent the nomination of Governor Dix by the approach. ing Kepubitcan Convention. GOULD GOVERNOR DIX BE BEATEN AT THE POLLS? Trere have been some rumors floating about in | the air of an intention ou the part of tne adminis- tion republicans tn New York to deieat Governor | Dix at tue polls, since they have found it imprac- ticable to prevent lis renomination vy the Repuo- lean State Convention.
