reslt would be TO make the count. Folger ZoS, Cor
neIl 1os leaving balance of 90 to be distributed
among Wadsworth Starin and Wood. "hie 'n'
showing nominatcs nobody, II ~oud give o""'0
FolQer lead and if he should make gains OH INC
second ballot. especially if those gains shoulu oo
somewhat from the Cornell column his nomination
would seem very probable, unless the Wadsworth
men should make swift change OF front. Inc
Folger men are much elated at midnight predicting
his nomination on the second ballot, If not on the
first They say they will gan at least 20 votes on
the second ballot, counting the 13 of Congress
man Wood and these III additions Chemung :.
Herkimer L. Kings 3, New-YOrl 4, Queens ana
Westchester 3. OF course any such gains
as these from CornelPs men would demorallze hs
column and render any movement by the aus
worth men In his favor problematical, to say the
least The Stalwarts hint III gleeful way NJ
other changes which they think they will he able
to make in the Cortland, st. Lawrence and Essex
delegations.
The Stalwart slate is follows: For Governor
Charles j. Foger; for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Is.
Platt Carpenter; and for CongreSsman-at-Lalge
Walter A. Wood, of Troy. This last name, how
ever, is subject TO change. The degree Oh
organization the Wadsworth may he
able to form becomes important here. If
his ffty-ive supporters should stand firmly to-
gether, they could perhaps hold the balance
of power and prevent the nomination of eithcr OF
the leading candidates. so far the Wadsworth ele-
ment has been a loose and heterogeneous gathering.
Several consultations by them have been held to-
day, the idea being to make them acquainted
with eaoh other and render 1t moro
likely that they could hold together i'll the conyen-
ton They held a meeting tonight at which be-
tween fifty and sixty of the delegates were presents
and pledged themselves to vote together until
released by the "actiOn of the majority;
They also agreed to vote with the Cornell
men for Senator Pitts for temporary chairman
and for Ellis II. Roberts tor permanent chairman
This will bring test of the Administration ana or
the ntiAdminisration strength at the very outset
Judging from the present figures the vote would be
close. If tho anti-AdmDistratiOn men should sue
ceed in gaining control OF the conventlon TINS
supposed, TO a combination Oh a candidate against
the common enemy. The size of this meeting and
the spirit it manifested lave encouraged the anti
Administration men. who are still courageous and
profess to be confident. The Stawars have re-
peated their man9uvIe of last year and offered
the temporary chairmanshlp to Congressman
HiscOck Of Syracuse, who had the proposition
under advisement at late hour George H. sharpe
is mentioned both for permanent chairman and as
the speaker to present Folger'S name. Inc state
Committee met tonight, but it adjourned without
action till tomorrow.
Francis c. Thurber and committee of the Anti
Monopoly State Convention arrived mere ths alter
noon and since have been urging the republican
delegates not to refuse renonlnation OF Governor
Cornell because he signed the Railroad Comnlssion
egates making this appeal at considerable length.
In this circular the special rate men OF the New-fork
Central OF as they known here, " The Mcr-
chants. Manufacturers and Producers As
sociation" are denounced -. for attempting
to defeat Governor CornelPs renoHinatlon.
Mr. Thurber said tonight II GoYernor
CornelPs denomination is defeated and the Demo-
Gratis at Syracuse nominate such man as Roswell
p Flower, the Anti-Monopolists may think II ad-
yIsable to nominate a candidate of their own"
