SARATOGA, II. I. Sept. IL.
! lilo Democratic Stale Convention
| II rcassomG!inT, but ell cifur;J failed
20 unite tho delegates in favor III any
candidate for Governor. Until late
last night, everything was at sea.
| Finally The preferences settled on
Dewitt g. West, on tho part of tho
| RDtl-1 iiIcnitc3, and Comp:rollor Lli-
ems liohinson of the Tildrnitcs; but
! West pcrmptoriiy declined to run.
This leaves the contest apparently
between Robinson and Potter, with
no rivals deserving 10 compete with
them. Robinson IL objectionable to
many delegates bccaYsc lie rau on
the Union ticket in 1861 anil was en-
| Gofsed by the Liberals on another
occasion. These facts make his De.
lnocricy doubtful TO the unudultcr-
Hted. The objection made to Potter
Is his speech recognizing tho State;
right GI secession. The prospect Is
for bitter iiGht IL tue Convention.
| unlcsS tho efforts nov making, with
q view OF emitting of debate, are suc-
ccsSful. Neither candidate is salts
factory to tho party, but all attempts
to secure any more available man
have failed of result; no thoroughly
popular. or unohjccti0nable Dcino
crat being willing to run.
Lucius Robinson was nominated
for Governor by reclamation.
