Show POLITICAL TURMOIL IN NEW YORK YOK As WE have expected I 1 the politics political machine of new york is receiving a 1 mighty shaking up by the proposition to nominate andrew D white for governor 1 his irreproachable life and his bis manifest ability in the positions of public 0 trust which he be has filled raise him above personal calumny this is a qualification for office which the dim of the state have not encountered for so long that the mere prospect of meeting such a man in the open field gives them a fit of the alfue ague the independents who this year have been doting on the withdrawal of david B hill from the democratic ticket as an opportunity long hoped for to put forward a democratic candidate which they could support are nonplused nonplus ed because they have repeatedly and unequivocally committed C I 1 1 vesto the style of political reform of which mr white is the boldest champion in the state moreover several of the foremost independent organs in their perfect assurance that the corruption in new york republicanism was too rank for mr whiter white 18 nomination domination to be possible were reckless enough to compliment him personally in language which to say may the least would be profoundly embarrass sing to them in pursuing a campaign against him they are therefore improving every opportunity to discourage his nomination on the ground of their assumed regret that so BO good a man should sacrifice himself to a hopeless cause nl the republican politicians are in 1 a dilemma equally perplexing the majority of the lesser organs were so sure fiure that mr white if he would only consent to the nomination would go on the ticket with a boom from every quarter that upon learning of his inclination cli nation in that direction their enthusiasm broke all bounds anal without consulting the greater oracles they flung out in burning type cornell e against Tamma tammany match him to their surprise and utter consternation the great and wise organs of the party had not in the slightest degree partaken partaker par taken of their enthusiasm the mail and simply vouchsafed a three line notice that express sent W white bite of cornell was among the candidates for governor while the great and only tribune said nothing at all about it saleby gave by an innuendo which convey conveyed od to the understandings of the inner circles a very clear hint that andrew D white was not a person to be greatly desired for such an office come to think about it mr white had bad opposed the nomination of james 0 blaine for president in 1884 and in the political code of the tribune no republican should oppose james 0 G blaine and live of course this has hae fallen like a wet blanket over the smaller fry but their zoal zeld was too sizzling hot to be subdued by any single obstacle their ensign had bad gone up to the masthead mast head and they refused to haul it down the fight within the party is still on the independents in the absence of any personal campaign material with which to thwart the nomination have turned their attention to this breach that has appeared in the republican fortress and are making it to appear as aa prodigious as possible in their simulated esteem for mr white to keep him out of what they would woud have him believe Is a sure defeat coupled with the dishonor of being the standard bearer of a ring of borrup zionists it if the issue was simply upon the question of who should ge be governor of new york there would be no great interest in it outside of the state but the next president of the united states has an interest at stake the way new york goes in the coming state election the united states is liable to go in the next presidential election moreover the man who wins the governorship of new york if he is a republican has not only a majority of eban chances cers for being the ahe next republican nominee for president but likewise for being elected as such the dispute is now between harrison Harri aon and blaine ir if blaine should find himself in the proper state of health to accept the nomination he would un get it but if he does not and in the mean time andrew D white should be elected governor of the pivotal state slate with a full majority his chances for the presidential nomination would be very great on the strength of his state success alone and in his personal reputation there would certainly be nothing wanting his name was discussed for the nomination in 1884 and would undoubtedly have carried his state against any other candidate had the other states faller fallen into line but they did not and so the nomination went to mr blaine cand and thereby hangs bangs a tale |
