of their acts. The platforms will have little
to do with the coming elections. 1t is the his
torical record Of the two parties for the past
few years, together with the character Of the
nominees, that will decide them. If the demo-
Gratis should be wise In the selection Of their
nominees they have fair chance Of success |;
If not the odiOus record of the radicals ma y
not prevent the perpetuation Of radical rule.
The Now York Republican state Cenven-
The proceedings of the radical convention
of this State which assembled at Syracuse
yesterday were not calculated to inspire it's
party with confidence. The irrepressibls row
between the rival factions Of this city was the
principal cause for contention, and during Q
stormy debate which arose from resolution
being offered to appoint committee Of inves-
tigation into the source of trouble two Of the
delegates INDUCED in recriminations which quite
upset all dignity and decorum. They gave
each other the lie and received the insult in q
sweet spirit Of radicalism, it Is true. But their
partisans on either side cheered to the echo,
and spurred on, as it were, the wordy comba-
tants to further exhibitions of luminosity. The
wind up Of the whole affair was that a COM
mittee was appointed, with instructions to
report to the next State convention, which
will be held some time during the next year. In
the meantime we presume that the two radical
factions in our immediate midst will continue
their cat and dog fight, to the jeopardy of their
party should the opposition be wise and pru-
dent in presenting acceptable candidates to
the people.
The nominee of the convention for the office
Of Governor of this great State is the Hon.
John A. Griswold, of Rensselaer, county, a
gentleman Of large wealth and a member Of
Congress from the Fifteenth district, which he.
is now representing for the third term. If the
democracy should nominate proper candidate
against him he will be defeated by as large,
if not larger, majority than that by which the
radicals were beaten last year. The result
depends entirely upon who he will be opposed
by. In most respects the entire ticket nomi-
mated by the convention yesterday Is one
whose success or defeat depends entirely upon
the course to be pursued by the opposition.
Negro Outbreak In the Georgia Legislature.
The notorious mulatto lawyer from Boston
named Bradley, whose incendiary harangues
in Georgia have caused his arrest on more
than one occasion, exhibited another proof of
negro capacity for self-government in the
Georgia Legislature yesterday. He is q
Senator" from the First district of the State,
and during debate caused by the introduc-
ton Of . resolution relative to the eligibility
Of negroes to hold Office he was unusually
and violent. This insolent mu-
atto declared that II the doctrine of inelgibility
Of negroes for ONCE holding came from the
spiritual mind Of God" himself his race
would not submit to II. He further warned
his hearers that If the negroes were not given
full and equal privileges with the whites there
would be another rebellion within the next ten
years, and that it would be greater and more
successful one than the last. Here, then, we
have another outcropping Of the animus of
those negroes who possess sufficient influence
over the masses of their race to be elected to
Office 1t is certainly q pretty commentary
upon the age we live In when the representa-
tives Of half bsrbsrous people can thus
threaten their superiors.
