Nomination of Cornell.

FEELING AMONG ADMINISTRATION REPUBLICANS.
The nomination yesterday, by the New York
republican convention of A. B. Cornell to be
the gubernatorial candidate, is received here
among the friends Of the administration with
good deal OF disgust and surprise. Disguise it
as they may, it is plain from all surface indica-
tfons that those who are most loyal to the ad-
ministration did not want Cornell nominated,
because the nomination placed the President
and the Secretary OF the Treasury In the posi-
tion OF having removed from the New York
naval office an officer who yesterday, by ma
joIity vote OF a republican convention. was
selected to lead the republican column; and the
inference will be drawn, to say the least, that
his removal was an act which the New York
republicans do not endorse. There are repubi
cans to whom the nomination Is so dtStastefu
that they make the prediction that Cornell
cannot be elected, and there are other repubit
cans so sore as to charge that Conkling and Til
den had an understanding and that Conkltng
egged on Cornell's nomination simply to crafty
his spite against Secretary sherman and the
President, and that Tilden helped him with his
nation the weakest that could have been made
As bearing on the Presidential race, there are
those who say, even If they do not so believe,
that the cenvention's action yesterday serves
notice on Secretary Sherman that he cannot
expect the vote OF the New York delegation In
the next Presidential nominating convention.
1t is construed that the result demonstrates
that Senator Conking Is stDl power In New
York, and being handicapped as he was under
the weight OF the unsavory Sprague scandal.
and shorn OF the immense patronage OF the
nificant. There is still another view taken OF
the result and that IS that it will tend to re-
v1ve the Grant Presidential boOm and it is &C
cepted as an indication that Grant and his
friends are stronger in New York than all the
combined elements of the opposition.
