The Springfield Republican has the
following on the late Republican
nomination for governor Of New
York
The New York Republicans have
"harmonizeG" to Mr.. Conkling's
wishes with their usual cordially, and
nominated A. B. Cornell for Governor
upon the first ballot This result had
been anticipated, althoughit was hoped
that the convention would have
courage to disregard the dictates OF
"the machine" and nominate some
body better known for public service
than for political manipulation. This
hope has been disappointed and Cor
nell, Mr.. Conkliug's lleutenant-boss
the late surveyor of the New York
custom house whom Mr.. Hayes had so
much difficulty to displace, is the can
didate. This nomination is a direct
blow in the face to George William
Curtis, Mr.. Evarls, and the whole
reform wing Of the party, as we'll as
in diianc OF the advice Of Vice Presi-
dent Wheeler, Thurlow Weed and
other sagacous leaders. 1t must be
very distastetul to Hamilton Fish aud
men of his stamp. 1t will be very
gingerly supported by the New York
Times and Evening Post, but the other
party organs will probably "enthuse'
to the usual degree. The whole value
of the nomination lies in the possibility
of trade between the Republican
machine in New York city and the
Tagmany Democrats under John
Kelly. 1t is cheap John, "swap de
horse" nomination, or rather specu.
lation, which is very much less likely
to carry the State than the presenta.
