THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR GOV.
ERNoR OF NEW YORK.
we are all glad, IN Washington, that
the Democrats of New York have at
length got q candid.:e for Governor,
Hon. Lucius Robinson, upon whom the
various elements of the party in the state
will unite. Dir. Robinson 10 q man of
high personal character, end he's proved
himself, 10 the responsible posiSion Of
Comptroller Of the State, which he now
holds. to be & nien Of good Judgment and
rare executive ability. The fact that he
was Mr. Tilden's eecond choice for the
position gives assurance that he will
strengthen the Presidential ticket. 1t
was thought here that Mr.. Doroheimer,
the candidate for Lieutenant- Governor,
would secure the firss place on the ticket.
