THE NEW YORK REPUBLICANS,

has secured him denomination, without con-
tnst However much some of the political ele-
ments may have itched to set him aside, they
concluded that it would be useless to attempt 1t,
so strong was he in the popular approval The
Convention at Utica, yesterday, therefore renom-
mated him unanimously, and, what is very rare
il also took the other officers who were elected
with him in 1872, and again made them cand-
dates. These are General john G. Robinson
for Lieutenant Governor, Alexander Barkley for
Canal Commissioner, Thomas kirkpatrick for
State Prison Inspector, and Alexander $. john
son for Judge of Appeals
The denomination of the whole list of officers
is rare thing because usually some one has
shown himself incompetent, or unfit, or, being
both competent and fit, has made too many enc
mics to permit his being again put before thu
people, 1t is therefore fair 10 conclude that thu
several officials named have been exemplary il
tile discharge of their duties, rejecting credi
on their Sca.e, and honor OH the party whicl
elected them in 1872.
The Convention itself was an unusually stron
gathering of leading Republicans and its pro
ceedings were harmonious and enthusiastic
