be found occasionally . disappointed office
seeker or man whose private schemes for
enrichlng himself at the expense of
the State have been thwarted by
Governor Robinson who appropriately
proclaims his intention of voting for John
Kelly. Such Democrats. who are acfuated
by a thirst after spoils rather than by princi-
pie, are always an unreliabls quantity which
never turns the balance. Tue most careful
canvassing fails to discover any Democrat OF
prominence in Central New York who will
admit that he intends to vote for John Kelly.
The Albany Kelly organ Gains that in Oo-
ondaga, Cayuga and Oswego counties Tvs
candidate will recsive a large vote. This
claim is utterly ridiculous. The only ele-
ment in the Democratic party that processes
sympathy with Kelly is the canal ring ele
ment, but the disaffection of the men
composing it should not be regarded IN esti-
mating the chances of the succe of the reg
ular ticket, for the reason that these men
have lot the past six yeus been constantly
opposed to Democratic State tickets. They
were opposed to Mr.. Tildep, and yet he was
elected governor by an Overwhelming ma
jsrity. They were opposed to Lucius Robin
son three years ago, and yet he was elected
governor Dy handsome mh lorlty in spite
of them. Their Opposition 10 the regular
nominees OF the Democratic party is no new
thing and will be more than offset by the
large vote which Governor Robinson will
receive from Republicans and Independents
in this section. Governor Robinson is
especially strong in the rural districts and
| the Democratic organization of this county
is already in receipt of many letters from
prominent Republican farmers who signify
their intention of voting for Governor Rob-
inson. Hundreds of business men in SYRIA
| cuse who have heretofore affiliated with the
Republican party are disguised with the
| rule or ruin policy which prevailed at Sara
togs, and openly declare TINT they will not
support Mr.. Conkling' 8 candidate Syracuse is
| a hot-bed cf Liberal Republicanism, and Mr..
Conkling and his candidate for governor are
| held in very low esteem in this section.
| These disgusted Republicans will quietly
vote for RobinsoH. and no amount of per
suasion or pleading of party fealty can turn
! them from their course. Governor Robin
| con will receive 10 votes from Republicans
| where he loses one Democratic vote in Cen
| trail New York. 1t has heen olsuued by ,ht

| Robinson. This ia smother supposliion con
| irary to fact. Dyed-in-the wool Democrats
who are Democrats from principle, not fol
| spoils, never bolt the regularly nominated
| ticket even when their preferences were
for some other man than the candidate
nominated. There are many such Democrat,
| in this section of the State, but not ont
of them will bolt the regular nomination.
| of the State convention. The bolters boas
of the sympathy of such Democrats in ths
State, but they count beyond their cos
when they claim that they will support
bolting candidate for governor. A careful
canvass of the situation in Central New Yorl
leads to the undeniable conclusion that tn,
Kelly movement, If IL is water, has n,
bottom. or, If it is land no foundation. AL
statements to the contrary are a part OF tn
braggadocio plen eDgendered in Tamman,
Hall to deceive the deluded followers o
that organization. Kelly will get no vote
that Cornell would not have received, an,
Governor Robinson will receive an unusu
ally large vote from Republican and Inde
pendent electors in this vicinity.
