Syracuse, Sept 25, 1855.
No doubt the Republican Conventions will harmonise on both platform and ticket to-morrow. As to candidates, it is only certain that Preston King will be Secretary of State. Probably none of the present State Officers will be renominated, though Cook and Clark have many friends. It is not improbable that Geo. W. Patterson will be Comptroller, and Bradford R. Wood a Judge of Appeals. W. T. McCoun is strongly supported for Judge. For Canal Commissioners A. B. Williams of Wayne, and Silas M. Burroughs of Orleans, stand prominent. Abijah Mann is thought of for Attorney-General; so are Wesley Bailey and J. M. Van Cott. For Prison Inspectors, John Stanton Gould and Wesley Bailey are prominent. George Geddes may be State Engineer. Seven-eighths of the Republican Delegates are for Prohibition, but it is probable that no direct action will be taken on that subject.
