boon Mr. Keliy's remarks In Withdrawing Dis hahie
from tho electoral ticket.
Albany County voted solidly for Mr. Robinson,
and there was faint r1mble of applause, the fTst
that had been heard since the familiar ono that
greeted Mr.. KeIly's name on the first rollcail. In
fact this was the soberest political body that has
met in this State In long time. They were too sad
to talk, too weary 10 applaud. The aecessiols to
either candidate were received with the very faint
est demonstrations of pleasure. Mr.. Robinson had
the first of the roll almost entirely to himself Ale
gany, Cattaraugus, Cayuga, Chemung, Chenango,
Clinton, and Delaware counties were all for. Robin
son. Cattaraugus gave single vote for MIR. Potter,
which the NEWCOMERS cheered gratefully. There
were some scattering votes for Mr.. Potter, and
both districts of Columbia and Duchess voted for
Homer A. Nelson. Erie County voted sohdly
Tor Mr.. Robinson, vote that showed the
ready drift to the Controller. Fultoa and
Hamilton, Genesee, Greene, and Kings voted
for Robinson Jefferson gave complimentary
vote to Senator Starbuck, and Monroe cast its full
vote for Potter, the voice of Jarvis Lord being ono
of those heard in his behalf. From this point on
there little variety 10 the responses TaInmany
voted for Potter, Anh-Tammany for Schoonmaker.
Mnrrissey's squeak for Schoonmaker was greeted
WITH low laugh, the FIRST sign of cheerfulness the
convention had shown In the Tamnany delega-
Messmer voted for Robinson amid considerable ap-
plauso. Joseph T. O'Douohue voted for " A Demo
GRAFT, ClaIkson N. Potter" and Emanuel b. Hart at
once answered it with "A Democrat, Augustus
Schoonmaker.n At this the convention smiled half
Of a sad smile and then gave it mp. Scott Lords
delegation, that from Oneida County, voted for
Robinson except q faithful one OF two who
voted for Lord. OtseEo voted for Judge Sturges.
Perhaps the greatest surprise was the refusal
IF Mag0ne's delegatioB-that from st. Lawrence
Connty-to vote for Robinson. Among the rebellious
was iverill who fortnight ago was understood to
be Ny. DorsheIner's candidate for Lieutenant-Gov-
srnor npun the ticket with him. The last votes III
the hat those Of Yates County, nominated Mr.. Rob
inson with just one vote and a half TO spare. The
chang geo began at once jefferson County withdrew
storbuck and cast it's votes for Mr.. Robinson, and
Otsego withdrew Judge Sturges for the same pur-
pose Anti-Tammany followed these examples 10y
taking Senator Sohoonmaller out Of the way.
The vote as finally announced showed that Mr..
Robinson had originally received 1921 votes 191
being necessary to choices Mr.. Potter had re-
ceived 10Gl2 Mr.. Schooumaker 80. and Mr. Nelson,
81 and that the rest scattering. The changes
gave Robinson 243l2 The announcement was
greeted with cheers Erastus Brooks, who persisted
at the last convention in talking about Thomas L.
Hendricks, now moved 10 make unanimens the men,
ination of Lucius NJ. Robinson. John Kelly rose to
follow with the air of man who had got used by
thus time to being in hopeless minority. When he
explained also his intention to withdraw from the
electoral ticket and moved the substitution of Sey-
moui's name for his own, there was good round Of
applause, and a voice cried, "Well done, Kelly"
When the nomination of Mr.. Robinson had been
made unanimous and Mr. Seymour had replaced
Mr. Kelly Gen. McQuade of Utica, who was evil
IDENTIFY feslinR neglected, rose and announced that
John Kelly's noble conduct had overcome him quite,
and volunteered the valuable information that here
after whenever Mr.. Kelly required his services he
should have them. At this an amused smile spread
over Mr. Kellys stold face, in which the whole con-
vcntion joined.
Justice Timothy J, Campbell now made his
greatest bid for fame. by moving for the appoint

Robinson. Parliamentary courtesy would have re-
'quired the Judge TO be made chairman OF the com
niittee and an edifying Democratic tahleau that
