The republicans OF New York have
done what they could to organize vic
tory for the democrats and TO place the
state III the doubtful list for next year.
The nomination of Cornell is the wors
that could have been made. IL was
achieved not ny the respectable ele
ment Of the republican party, not by
the mass ot the party, but hy the fed
eral office holders who owe their posi-.
tions to Roscoe Conkhng, The eau
cuSes have been packed and the con-
vention controlled by the otliue.holders.
Cornell was removed from the New
York custom house because he made
al his position n political instrument.
Ills nomination for governor is due To
the denomination vt Senator Coukling
IL show that his power continues not
withsmndiuS Cornclps removal aud ~
u reward for CHrnell's services in behalf
NJ ENuklmg, The best sentiment Of the
state Is opposed 10 Cornell, but that
sentiment was not strong enough in the
convention to defeat the nomination.
The republicans throughout tho
country have an interest IN this matter
because of its bearing ON the next ma
donal campaign, Cornell will probably
he dCleated--ho ought Is he. Tho re-.
puhlicans of New York owe il to thcm-
selves 10 repudiato at the polls the work
of the otioo-holders Ii he ia not de-
lcatcd il will be rs the Now York Her
all suggest, because u trade has been
made between Coukling and John
Kelly, Ills election will do moro to
gave Now York to the democrats next
year than his defeat and in either
event the Nero fact of his nomination
Ivy republican convention will
strengthen the democratic party.

The men who supported and nomi-
mated Cornell are political free lancos,
Who, for tho time, are IN the service of
Conkhng, and whodo not, IN any sense,
represent the men who elected them,
~ who have any heart in the cause for
which they fight. In other words, the
nomination IL u machine one thorough
~ and absolutely, 1t proves Conkling's
power, but il will give tho state To the
democrats unless they 90 into tho fight
it with moro than thNir usual amount
OF LAUNDERING.
Except IA connection with some mi
nor positions, Gbrnell IL mn unknown
mau. Take away from him Conkling's
support and he could not yet Ia be mn
alderman IN his own ward. lie first
came into prominence ut Albany by
AIDING Conlllng to become senator.
lie was given in r,quiml n federal mp
puintmcut from which, it's well known
ne retired with anything but honor.
As chairman at the republican state
central committee he has mud opportun-
Wy tn manipulate local delegations in
his own interest. Ho has not single
clement of popularity; and, IN short, Is
no Of the most wrotchcd selections
which tho party could have made.
The platform adopted is Of tho usual
character 1t defends the supremacy
IF the nation; doclaims against n pre-
tended attempt to mako IL u league;
culogizes the republican party, and de.
nounces the democrats for tho extra
session and their course during the last
meeting OF congress- Upon tho whole,
there are probably throc people in Now
York who are pleased with the result
Of the convention Conkling, Cornell
hnd-Tlden.

The opposition To Cornell represents
various phases Of reform IN politics and
protest against tho machine. His cleo
ton would bo triumph of Senator
Conkling's peculiar political methods.
