General Stewart L. Woodford, Of Kings
County Drooktyn), has boon nominated
for Governor Of New York over Horace
Greeley, who, with his usual lnck, received
only q third Of the votes Of the conven-
tion. The man who could not edit the
Brooklyn Union is preferred to the founder
Of the New York Tribune. A contemporary
ascrbcs General Woodfords triumph to
the fAct that he is less known than Greeley.
The point is not quite true. Greeley is
pretty well known, as to what he las done !;
hui the Evil Ono could not undertake to
predict what he might do. Woodford, on
the other hand, it is we'll known, will breuk
no crockery, appoint no Democrats, enter
tain no he1erodox vagaries about reforms
that are not Oh the regular calendar, and,
in short, il. he should he elected, which
is not probable, he would do nbout
what the majority OF the Republican
party Of the State would expect He
in a fluent, pleasant speaker, rose-wate,
politician, and nice young man,
He has eloquence aud tact in alll oi
which Mr.. Greeley is deficient. Hence
he might make a better Governor tha1
one who has certainly proved ininitel,
superior to him as an editor.
Srr. Woodford, We presume, was nom
mated on the score Of supposed availa
bilisy that is, it WIS believed by the poll
ticians composing the convention, that b
could poll more votes than Mr.. Greeley
But this We believe to be mistake. H
will undoubtedly receive the votes of al
the Republicans who attend tho election
but it is not likely that he will get man,
Democratic votes, whereas Greeley woult
certainly have received ten to fifteen thou
sand Democratic votes in New York an,
Brooklyn, that no other Republican couls
hope to secure. With all his crotchets
hobbies. and pocnliarities, ho has stronI
lluld on the affections OF a large portion 0
