NEW YORK REPUBLICANS, The Gathering of Delegates and Leaders of the Party in Saratoga. A Fierce Struggle Impending Over the Nomination for Governor. CAN CONKLING CONTROL IT? Cornell’s Friends Confident—Mor- gan’s Supporters Sanguine. CHANCES OF COMPROMISE. Thurlow Weed Working for the Strongest Candidate. LATE ARRIVALS. SARATOGA, August 21, 1876. On Wednesday the Republican State Convention will assemb’e hore for the purpose of nominating candi- dates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor avd other of- ices, The Convention wiil be held in the Town Hall ot Saratoga, and preparations buve been completed to Properly wccommodate all the delegates and their Anjends who may attend upon that occasion. CANDIDATES! CHANCES. At this writing it is impossible to prophecy with any s@pree of certainty the names of the successful candi- fates for Governor. Mr. A. B, Cornell has been the Grst to put in an appearance on the battlefield, He was | accompanied by Deputy Postmaster Lawrence from Now York. It will be recollected that both of these gentlemen were also tho first to arrive at Cincinnati Gays vefore the battic flags were hung out ~in the streets and the real political turmoil! had com- @eveed. Iasked Mr, Cornell, as he sauntered medita- tivily through the grounds of the United States Hotel, “How are things looking?’ “It is rather early yet,” he responded, ‘few of the delegates have ved and Tcannot tell, However, matters look promising, and Tecannot say more at present.’’ Governor Morgan’s | friends occupy about the same position. They argue that the Convention will be strongly in their favor; that Mr. Cornel! can only contrat about one-third of the votes, and that after the second ballot their favorites will receive the nomination, Governor Morgan bas teen here for several weeks with bis family, and takos the matter quite placidly, He seoms to think he will be the successful candidate. If Witham M. Evarts cousents ao run on the ticket’ there is reason to believe ho will re eeive the asomination, But nobody here bas any idea that ine gentioman really means to go before the | People in this canvass. Mr. Andrew D. White, Senator Robertson, Congressman Pomeroy ana EF. 8 Leaven- Worth are also favorably montioned for the first piace po the ticket, but all seems misty as far as their shauces are concerned, until a council of the leaders Bas been held immediately preceding the Convention. THE CONTRSTA PROM A POLITICAL STANDPOINT, The result of this convention must prove exceed- ingly important as affecting national issues. It may positively deterimine on whieh side the thirty-five eiec- toral votes of New York State will go next November. Both porties are theretore wide awake to the nece-sity of putting forward their beet mun. The “machine” power wil not so much enter into a disposivon of Wednesday's fight a8 on former occasions, Hitherto the man or men who stood at the wheel Of the political ship of State guided its fortunes Vhrough turbalent ters without let or hindrance, They were agtocrats in the radical sense of the term. Trey trimued che rails, manned the rigging, sfiled the voasel into whatever port they pleased, irrespective of public considerations or public clams Bat now the scene is changed This political suip has been boarded by @ daring crew, and that crew comes from the ranks of the people. They do not propose to be dictated to absolutely im the future; the men Who stood at the belm have been seized and bound hand and foot, the black flag of rule or ruin has ‘a from the masibead, aud the p ratical been made (o walk the plank. And is is exactly the condition of affairs in the republican and democratic parties to-day. The independent, thinking elements of the masses having ariven trom their letharg.c siambers, and Lhe mere politiciuns wo swindled and covtroiled the community for years will have to step aside, Itis really a batiie betweon po- litical kwaves on one fide and the masses of our inde- Pendent voting population on the other, On which banuer Yieiory will pore itis bot a dificult problem to determine. In the immediate ganvass beiore Lere these exact issues will coue up, and they must be met and decided = It is such issues that are danyer- cause of A. i Corneil.

The republicans, of course, seek to prevent by ali the means in their power a cordiai union of the democratic tore at tbe baliot box. Such a combivation would do away with apy chance whatever of their electing a gle local candid: in New York city, Then, too, they would have no opportunity of making bargains as to the State and national tickets. However the public may condemo any “deal”? made between cliques in political organi tious to parcel out remunerative offices, they must ap- prove eflorts tending to consolidating the two great parties of the country. It is given out here that Mr. John Kelly was the first to offer the olive branch to nis opponents. Seltish motives are ciaimed to, be at the bottom of this approach. Kelly thought to secure victory beyond peradventure in New Cork city for his Tammany gang by bringing in the aid of those who cut bis political throat last November in New York and at St. Louis in June, He also wished to revenge himseli on the swal- lowtail crowd, consisting of Ulney, Wickham & Co, who undertake to swamp hitn within the Tammany organization, If anti-lammany could be vought over with one-third the offices, leaving the balance to be dis- posed ot by *‘‘Bo: Keily, the yame might work to acharm. That gentleman sees the great biunders of bis whole political administration, aud he tries to redeem them at the last moment; ‘but it is too late, His hour is fast approxching, and political aunibiiation awaits bim on whatever side he turos, The men he raised to positions of power in Tammany Hall have turned their backs upon him, while the men he has kicked out have gained additional strength be- fore Ube people. John Morrissey 1s politically stronger now than ever before; James O’Brien has a powerlul jollowing in his own district and other parts of the city; Samuel J, Tilden is the candidate of bis party tor President of tbe United States; Andrew H. Green stand: vefore the peopie as the wateh-dog ofthe city treasury and promimently urged for the nomination as Chiet Executive of nis state. Many others with whom Kelly has crossed swords and come out worsted might be mentioned, but the list is too long Through Kelly’s misman- agement the democratic party in the cy of New Yérk bas thus become greatly entangled, Republicans in Saratoga look ou with smiles of satisiuction while Governor Tilden sits quietly in Albany and fails Lo take the first step in smoothing over the rough places of the Management of democratic afluirs in the metropolis, He may regret this :naction on the night of election, night the United States Hote! is crowded with deiegates and their friends, who have arrived on tne Jast trains from aifferent parts ofthe State.

Yell, would not ve particularly annoyed if Gover- nor Morgan received the nomination,” was the old politician's repiy. Everybody here understands that Mr, Weeds experienced taciics will be brought into full play for the benctit of his triend Morgan. Su pow- erful an uccession immediately at the front of opera- tions must greatly strengihen this gentleman’s candi- dacy. prokees 40 support for the nomina- . “Tho strongest candidate,” was LATE ARRIVALS. Many more leaders of the republican party have also arrived, among them are the joliuwing: Senator Woodin, Seuator Koverigon, E, W.

Depew, ex-Lieu- tenant Governor Robinson and Colovel De Kay, MR. CORNELL'S SUPPORTERS. The Custom House party of New York city is rop- resented by John J. O'Brien, Alderman Jacob He Alderman J, C. Pinckney and several other local lea reo! that branch of the organization. These geutle- meu claim that the delegauon, with some ten excep- tions, tram New York city tavors A. B.

They taik emphaticaily in support of thetr candidate, and jee! confident of winning the battle. “ig there apy provability of Corn retiring from tbe weld belore a ballot is resehea it he considers 1t impossible to secure Lasked oi au enthusiastic Corneil the nomination?” e. “Not the slightest,’ he answered, ‘Mr. Cornell means to fight this batile to the end, and he is in entire harmony with Senawor Conkling in that posi- von, . We leet that he has vow nearly a sullicient num- ber of votes to nominate him. You may rely upon it tngt be will be a candidate till the votes of the Conven- tion designates lis successful competition.” PROBABILITIES OF THE RKSULT.

To-day threats are made that the screws will be put om in certain quarters official heads can be cast in the basket. Su a remedy, if seriously entertained, may secure ess of Mr. Col 5 DUL many ask to-night if such a policy 18 safe, As the issues now stand this Convention must narrow itself down to a fight between Seuator Coukliug and vernor Morgan for the control of the party in the ve.

The delegation is undoubiedly div bes tween Corneil and Morgan, and the shrewdest calcnia- tors on both sides who are willing to took upon the contest without bias, give Cornell the start at loust 44 out of the 69% It is on this calculation that he is made to stand in the above table at 101 instead 0! 86, as he would i! he only gota bare majority of his delegauon, it being taken jor granied that the votes considered to be for hitn in other ‘delegations are ax correctly computed as the clowiiness of the general situation and the get cence of some of the country delegates wil ailow.® La | almost every insiauce where in the country district conventions resolutions were passed favoring 5 or Morgan as the candidate for Governor, th | gan men’s second choice was Evarts, and Morgan | the second choice of those with ‘whom Kvurts | was first choice It is highiv probable, there- | fore, that the ‘Morgan or Kvarts’ vote, as wel | as the anti-Corvell vote, will be cast ‘solid ior | whichever one of the two it is finally decided vo rally | round, which will, of course, make things rather blue for Mr. Cornell, Some of the latter's friends in this | city, however, coniend that tae New York delegation | will be almost unanimous for him betore the Couven- tion meets This 18 regarded as a wide stretch of the | imagination by the Morgan men, who believe that ihe || preference shown in a majority of the rural conven- Uons for the nomination of a candidate who can raliy round him “all republicans without regard to past dil- fereuces’’ has already settiod his fate, CAMPAIGN COMMITTEES. WHAT THEY DO AND SAY AT THE PARTY HRAD- QUARTERS, At the democratic headquarters, in Liberty atreet, the work goes bravely on, Pamphlets and political records touching on the coming campaign are eagerly sought for by huudreds of visitors who intend taking an active part in the election, and have already begun the work of proselytizing their republican neighbors OF strengthening democratic friends in their political faith, Knots of politicians from she interior of the | State and others fromthe West and South gather in | the corridors and in the committee rooms comparing notes and drawing from their jot opinions prognosti- cations a8 to the success of the ticket throughout the | country. During tho day Governor | Tilden ap- | Peared in tho rooms, and, after giving some instruc. | ions touching the proper conduct of affairs, ho | left for Albany, The local ,politicians who visited | the headquarters to-day had for their chief topic the | futile attempt to unite Tammauy and anti-Tammany, Most of them seemed of opinion that nothing further | would be done to effect a coalition, and that both or- ganizations would go to the State Convention, there to presont their claims for representation. [t seemed to | be the prevailing opinion that the ‘ammanuy dele- | gates would be admitted to the Convention through the necessity of joint action in furthering democratic n- | lerests iv the couviry and State, but they seemed to fancy that any union on city and ‘county nowinations is improbable. In raterence to Mr. Morrisy’s espres- | sion of opinion to a HekALD correspondent, published in yesterday's issue, some Tammany men seemed to | think that it was an adroit move to hoodwink the pub- he. In claiming representation for other organizations than Tammany ond anti-lammany, they said he knew that be would be likely to curry lavor with such bodies, and that they would come into coai avowedly oeu- tral, perhaps, but suill with «n inet) nto lavor antl Tammany rather (han the other organization, Sp aktog of the effort to unite the factions a member of Tammany, Mr, James E. Morrison, said to the re- porter :— “For my part I was not satisfied with the basis of agreement proposed by either party, 1 do not tuink that Tammany has a vatid civitn jor a two-third repre- sentation any more U Tammany bas for a bait. In Unis Presideutial campaign every voter bas an in- terest, and every force that democracy or republican- isu: can Command will be brought to bear in deciuing | the issue. Now, thero is in New York city a large and influential’ body of men who havo no pronounced affiliation wih either party. They are democrats ‘rom_~—sprineiple, but «bind | themscives to no faction and owe allegiance to no polit- | teal leader, They constitute a body which can hardly be said to have an actual representation in politi yet is emmently deserving of such, N in combin:ng the different elements of democracy in | suis city it would be un ‘and injudicious to forget & power which, in this Presidential ciection, could be | nade ot great service to the democratic cuuse, So I | Would believe '0 giving Tammany a one-third represen- tation, anti-Tammany another third and the last to the | independent democratic voters of the city. 1 think | that the adeption of such a plan would bring into the | ranks the whole force of the democracy and tend more | than anything else to fairly distribute the power and to | blend ail elements in one harmonious whove.”’ | In the uptown democratic committee room occasional | visitors dropped ia through the day, and the situation throughout the country was discussed by gentlemen | outside the State, temporarily stopping in the city, as | well as the local trequeaters of the piace, News from the West goes to indicate that the work | of organization goes rapidly on in Indiana and other States where the figit i expocted to wax warmest, aud favorable reporis are covatantiy being received from the Sout t would appear trom the accounts of vis- itors from the country districts that the democracy is gaining ground in some and that measures have already been taken to organize the forces anu prepare for the contest, The republican headquarters in the Fifth Avenue Hotel were ali day long flied with visitors trom outside ot New York.

Olucy, Henry G. Purro: 4 POLITICAL FIASCO, alicia Why Tammany aud Anti-Tammany Could Not Agree, oe A QUESTION OF SPOILS. What Was Said and Done at Both Meetings. AE UNION POSSIBLE? IS A As was expected, the effort of Tammany Hall ant the anti-Tammany organization to unite, which was begun on tho sly at Saratoga two or three weeks ago, and which was continued in this city (hrough conference committees on Friday and Saturday last, has como to | naught. It iw the old story of the mountain ond the mouse over again. The Tammanyites set out from the start with a determination not to cede over one-third of @ representation on the delegation to Saratoga, und not over one-third of the members from this city on the State Central Committee, The anti-Tammanyites were from the beginning as fully determives not to join bands with their old enemy unless they | were given a half representation on both. During all the conterences held by the sub-committees no ment on was made, on eiiher side, of the county offices, but everybody concerned seemed to take it for granted 0 far as the Saratoga delegation and the stale committee blymen and county oflicers soon to be nominated, THE REAL DIFFICULTY | m the way of a union on any terms, theanti-Tammany men say, was that Tammany has already decided upon her county ticket, and that under the circumstances she knew right well that if anti-Tammany was allowed what the latter called a fair representation—one half—tbhe Tammany slate would have to be remodelled in order to make places for some of the anti-lammanyites, Ou the other hand the Tammany men contend that if Tammany were to grant anti- Tammany a half representation as to everything or anything, she would have to do so only ou the ground that the anti-Tammanyttes held the balance of power; im other words, that even if the latter did poll bat a third of the Tammany vow, she polled | enough to defeat Tammany whon the third was com. bined with the republican vote, if the Tammany people ceded a halt for this reason—and they say they 800 no other reason why they cuuld be expectei to cede it at all—they claim they would be throwing wide open the doors for tuture trouble with other anti-Tammany organizations that would spring up at gome luturecampargu, Such an organiza tion, they add, might be able to poll but 5,000 votes and yot bea balance of power, and have just as good reason as the present anti-Tammany for demanding @ hall representation on all tickets, because it was A BALANCE OF POWER. Though the resuit of yesteraay’s proceedings would seem to indicate that further pariey between the two organizations 1s out of the quostion, it is state! on re- hable authority that Mr. Kelly after the adjournment ot the Commitiee on Organization, said that Tammany, he had no doubt, would be as “liberal” at the Saraioga Convention as she had been 1 her conferences in this city, and that, if anti-lammany would be willing to compromise there, the auti-lammany party would be allowed one-third of the delegates irom this city and one-third of the members irom this ity of the State Committee. Just how this offer could be made by Tammany, much less accepted by anti-Tam- is a mystery in view of the fict that two dele- gations are sent irom this city; the one by Tammany ‘aminany, The whole ques- tion as to which delegation is entitled to admittance willbe in the hands of ih nvention. Tammany’s | power of bargain making with local democratic oppo- nents may be en regle in this city before the delegaies are elected; but afier they are elected a higher power has all to say about not only anti-Tam- Many’s standing, but the standiog of Tammany herself as a delegation.
