Not for Greeley.

From the Oneida Despatch republicanlJ
That the State he carried TINS 1all by the
publcans we most firmly believe. We viii not now
stop TO indicate fully the grounds OF the confidence
feel Iurtner than to say that If the recent act OF
Congress TO prevent fraud at elections can be en-
forced victory is certain; Tor we have never
doubted that majority OF The actual legal voters OF
the State are republicans. Let us, then, nominate
our strongest man Tor Governor, and strong men
the rest of the ticket, and success Is well nigh
certain TO crown our efforts.
AT tine We hoped Mr.. ID. G. LitlejOhn would
consent to take the nomination, as we are confident
ne would poll very large vote and be elected. But
understand that his earnest Iabors In connection
with the Mldland Railroad and other works OF In
ternal Improvement preclude the possibility OF his
peing q candidate.
In this view Of the case we do not hesitate then
Woodford, OF Brooklyn, Tor Governor We believe
that he VIII poll votes than other man In
the State Governor Holman not excepted. Our
reasons are as follows--
consistent republican since the organization OF the
party and has done an immense amount OF service,
both on and or the stump in behalf OF republican
principles.
Acknowledgement Woodford entered the army dur
ing the rebellion and made good record de
proved himself possessed OF great courage as "A
soldier and of unusual executive ability officer
ThUd--General WOodtord has already been elected
to the Office OF Lieutenant Governor and discharged
the duties of The Office to the general satisfaction
the people. That lie should he promoted 10 the Office
OF Governor is both natural and proper.
FUnrtIt--General Woodford ls q young man ana
splendid debater, and II nominated viii at take
the stump and canvass the SJae nom Niagara Fails
10 Montauk Point. He makes friends wherever he
goes ana great many friends both for himself and
his party wherever heSpeakS.
EfJHt-General Woodford has enemies or vul-
nerable points, and therefore would poll the uJl
strength OF his party We believe republican
victory Is possible with any candidate. We believe
that with General Woodiord az the head OF our
ticket we would be wen nigh sure of success.

Family Jars Among the Republicans in

Ulster-0ur United States Marshal in the
Melee.
From the Albany Argus (democraIic, September H.
The radicals are having Iivey family quarrel In
Ulster county. la the Kingston Assembly district
the quarrel arose out OF the respective aspirations
OF George II. sharpe, United States Marshal and
Thomas Cornell, for the position OF member OF the
State Central Committee, with the effect TO bring
out clearly the intense hostility that mas long been
understood to exist between two factions in the
party there. In Kingston II is claimed, the caucus
was packed by The sharpe men, through the efforts
OF under officials from Sharpe's Office and the Gus
tom House. and the bdloting for delegates was
pushed through with undue haste and before
sonable time had been given for The assembling OF
the electors from Rondout, IL being alleged that
the organization, ballotng and adjournment were
all effected within q periou OF Ten minutes.
This produced so much dissatisfaction that finally
another and cOntestDg delegation was chosen.
At the district convention at Saugerties Satur-
day last, large number Of the 'Iathfup' were pre-
sent TO see how the hght woulu end. The result was
two delegations TO the Saratoga Convention. fol-
