THE SYRACUSE CONVENTION.

PROBABILITY OF STILL ANOTHER SET OF DELE
GATES GOING TO THE DEMOCRATIC STATE
CONVENTION.
From present appearances It would seem to be
within the range of possibility that there will DO
three, IL not four. rival delegations to the Demo-
cratic State Convention to DO held at Syracuse on
the 10Th inst. The meeting ut Irving Hall a few
evenings since, at which members OF tho co lnty
democracy, together with tho more positive ad-
herents OF Mayor Cooper. present. was not an
harmonious gathering az at first appeared. 1t is
barely possible that in some of the districts the
county democracy will sond an independent delcgs-
tion and az the Irving Hall party Will also send rep
resenativcs to the Convention there will probably be
two sets of "Indcpcndcnt democrats" to contest
Tammanys right TO admission. In addition tho
ammo uncemcnt is made that the city democracy also
intend to knock at the door of the Convention. A
meeting OF the members of this organization
held last evening in tho Office OF Mr.. John u. Has
kin. There present, besides Mr. Haskin. Major
George w. Mclean, Edward J. Cramcr. Il. Francis
Gibbons, Henry Il. Lynch. James Fitzgerald and

MR.. Combines GENERALsHIP.
From the Evening Mail-rep.l


The great mistake that was made by the friends
of other candidates that they did combine to
elect temporary chairman. or in movement for
this purpose. that the largo amount of speaking
and parliamentary ability which represented in
the opposition was not brought to bear upon the
intelligence of Of the ablest State Conventions
ever held. 1t is quito likely that IL Vice Presi-
dent Wheeler had bean willing to act as the candi-
date for the position of both temporary and per-
manent Chairman, which would have been happy
solution OF the difhculty. he would have been
elected and the Convention would have then been an
for the full and free discussion of the merits
OF various candidates. and of the attitude which tho
party should take instead of registering the decrees
OF one man. without debate. without any opportun-
ity for debate Mr. Wheeler. In the exercise of his
wisdom, declined to perform this i'm
portant office for the republican party. and Mr..
Sloan It seems had quietly arranged to leave in the
lurch that majority of the republicans who had
formerly been in sympathy with him. and whose
candidate for Governor he could have been he had
not distinctly and decidedly placed himself out of
the contest.

A REPRESENTATIVE TICKET.

The ticket regarded from the ordinary republican
point of view. is very respectable 1t repre-
sents all shades of opinion in the republican party
in this State. Mr.. Cornell. the candidate for Cover
nor, for instance, is "machine man." and favora-
BILE to the corporations. while Mr.. Wadsworth the
candidate for Comptroller. is anything but ma
chine man. and is heartily opposed to the balefu in
fuence OF monopoly. All parts Of the State are
represented on the ticket.

II the State be carried on strict party vote
there ought be no question about that vote being
forthcoming. The good qualities Of the nominees
may be chiefly negative. but thcro are ut least no
points Of positive badness about any OF them. The
character Of most Of thom may be that Of
to habits Of partisan servilty. aud able chiefly
in the sense OF being thoroughly proficient in the

HARD TO DE BEATEN.

From the Evening Express-Tammany.l
Mr. Cornell has ability. He is q good political
manager No one has ever accused him Of being dis
honest. and he poor. But he is not great man.
not statesman in any sense of the word aud not .
popular man anywhere. Let no democrat imagine.
however that he can be easily beaten. He will have
the total and earnest support Of the organization that
was powerful enough to nominate him. The discon-
late, the dissatisfied the disgruntled elements Of
the party will pocket their grievances and support
him.

Principles, NOT MEN.

[From the Commercial Advertiser-rep.l
The time Is too great for personal preferences and
the republican who would say he will not support
and vote for the whole ticket nominated at Saratoga
yesterday is unworthy the name Of republican. We
do not apprehend. however, that there will be any
danger OF this. The feeling against Mr.. Cornell,
which it would be folly to leive Of our calcua-
tions. will be overshadowed by the magnitude Of
issues that now confront the country II there
was u time when IL was true that ''principes not
men" the question 1t is now.

A DISAPPOINTMENT.

from the Evening Post-rep.l
The general impression produced among thinking
republicans by all that done in Saratoga yester
day is one Of disappointment There great
opportunity to create courage and awaken enthusi-
asni, but the opportunity was missed 1t cannot be
expected that the 450 delegates the thousands of
voters who were represented by these delegates
should become enthusiastic over the work OF ono
man.
The New York herald., 1879-09-05
A STRONG TICKET.

1t will be the extreme of afectation for any demo-
cra to treat the proceedings Of yesterday at Sara
toga with Indifference. Mr.. Cornell will command
the support of all the young of his party well
of all its old leaders who have followed him
through several hard fought campaigns chairman
OF the State Committee. His party record is honorA-
BILE and his personal character is unassailable.
