G. Robinson, 6; necessary to a choice, 239.
The result was received without any
| demonstration, and the Convention at
once settled down for another ballot. The
second ballot was taken amid breathless
silence. While the vote was being counted
there were many changes of votes. The
Broome County delegation changed from
Robinson to Folger, and Saratoga an
nouuced eight votes from Starin to Cor
nell. Montgomery County then withdrew
Starin and changed their vote to Cornell.
Lewis County changed four votes from
Wadsworth to Cornell. There was much
confusion and excitement at this point.
which brought all the men to their feet at
the same time, sill announcing changes.
The Chairman fouud it impossible TO
restore order, aud refused to recognize
any delegate until quiet was restored. Dis
order reigned for some minutes. 1t looked
as if the Convention was making a break
toward Cornell, and the excitement was at
fever heat. At length order was restored.
An Oneida delegate announced a change
from WadsWorth to Cornell. There were
loud calls for another roll-call, and the
confusion was renewed. Delegates charged
that the change of Oneida County to Cor
nell had been announced without authori-
ty, and the r~oll-call of this county resulted
in nine for Wadsworth, two for Cornell
and two for Folger. Niagara County an
nOunced a change of one vote from Wads-
worth to Folger. Monroe announced a
like change, and a delegate changed his
vote in confusion from Wadsworth to Cor
nell.
The delegates yelled and shouted.
Gardner of Monroe County changed from
Wadsworth to Folger. Delegates were
now on the seats in different parts Of the
hall shouting at the Chairman, but no one
was recognized. Order being somewhat
restored. General Sharpe. who nominated
FUlger, announced that Ulster County de-
sired to cast nine votes for Folger.
Changes were slowly nnfavorable to Cor
nell, and one of the st. Lawrence delegates
said that it was evident that Judge Folger
would be nominated, and he moved that
the nomination be made by reclamation.
Ruled out of order. Sharpe asked that the
nomination about to be made be made de-
Gently and in order. and that delegates
take their seats. Order was finally re-
stored and the vote announced as follows:
Folger, ISL; Cornell, 222; Wsdsworth, IS;
necessary to a choice, 249. Thu result was
received with tumultuous cheers. Warner
Miller, United States Senator, said: 1.-THE
friends Of Cornell have labored necessarily
to secure his nomination, but have not
succeeded. I now move that the nonina-
ton of Folger be made unanimous" This
waE 61Dg after three cheers The Com
vention then took q recess until this
morning.
NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-The World thinks
Folger is the strongest and Cornell the
weakest candidate the Republican party
could select, and says the decent Demo
Gratis and Republicans alike will congratu-
late themselves that in the nomination Of
Judge Folger they read"the political obitu-
airy OF Governor Cornell.
The Tribune says: We do not need TO
say that this is not the result the Tribune
would have chosen. The choice Of almost
any other candidate named would have
given better promise OF a harmonious and
Jealous campaign.
The Times has the following: The re-
suit will be a disappointment to a major
ity OF Republicans and a large plumber OF
voters, who, on other than party grounds,
have appreciated the significance Of the
fight made against Governor Cornell. 1t
may also turn out to be a disappointment
to men who have been mainly instrument
al in bringing it about, and to the alleged
representatives who have deliberately set
aside the strongest candidate presented to
them, and have chosen a nominee who. il
not the weakest in public estimation, is at
least a representative of the weakest and
most unpopular section of the Republican
party. 1t is sufficient 70 note the fact that
the Republicans are represented by a can
didate who is not in any sense the
choice of the majority Of its voters, aud
who, if elected at all, must owe his cleo
ton altogether to the instinct Of party
rather than to the popular choice. Jay
Gould has ~triumphed at Saratoga, let
the facts be distorted ever 30 in~geniOusly.
The future Governors of this State have
been warned that they cannot
safely run counter 10 the schemes Of
Gould. Defeated or victorious, the Re
publican party Of New York has received .
blow in the house Of its friends which il
purely gratuitous trifing with its strength,
and which will do more than anything
that has happened in the last ten years to
diminish its capacity for growth, and to
leave it without the sympathy or respect
of those who looked to it as the exponent
of political morality and the champion Of
political reform.
The Sun says the Republicans have put
up a candidate whose name ought to be an
.admonition to the Democrats at Syracuse
