ALBANY, Oct. 1.-At the elections in Albany
County to-day for delegates to the Republican
State District Convention the result was a triumph
for the machine in the Ist lid, and IVth Assembly
Districts and the election of two sets of delegates in

tested machine delegates are John +. Smyth, ex-

the city, who made unsuccessful canvass for the

ing order there is clear Republican majority OF
over 1000. Consequently there is always a con-
siderable strife to secure the Republican Assembly
nomination. This year 1t was known long in all
vance of the meeting of to-day's Convention that
A. s. Draper had been selected by the machine for
denomination as AsSemblyman. This determination
was peculiarly offensive to the great body
of the Republicans of the district who
who condemned Mr.. Drapers course in the
last Assembly. In the face of the formal re-
monstrlnce of thousands of Republicans against
the return of Conking and Platt to the Senate. he
persisted in voting for both, and devoted to
Mr. Platt that he continued to suppo him after he
had withdrawn from the lace. To-day the anti
machine men were in a majority in the Convention.
The district consists of the 10TH 11th, Ia h, 10th
and 18th Wards of the city and the county towns
of Knox New-Scotland and Cumberland. Anti
machine delegates elected to this Convention
from the 14th Ward and from all the county towns.

the regularly called Convention had met aud

hand to-day as contestants. In the 10th ward tho
anti-nachine were in reality successful at the
primaries. but by filing the ballot-box With Demo-

three out of the SIX inspectors refused 10 sign the re-
turns.

stated that Mr. Ogden had been designated by tho
Republican County Committee to call the Conven-

followers of John +. Smyth had been instructed to
vote for Mr. Ogden and they would not consent to
vote for Mr. Chester. Mr.. Deyermand, one OF tho
most respected merchants of the city, moved that

decision from Mr.. Ogden that the motion was
