such things are to be done in Kings coun-
ty, it will be impossible to find decent
person to go to primary or to the polls.
Daggett demanded that the delegation be
given its righte, and said the contest was
preposterous and absurd. If right not
done he promised that, while Kings county
Republicans would support the ticket,
whatever it might be, yet in the district in
question the Republicans would refuse to
vote, and would let the rag-tag and bob
tail run the machine
Mr.. Lawson, of the committee, said Mr..
Daggett's speech was presented to the
committee and thoroughly denied and con-
troverted Gentlemen said he, Il have
had in my long experience in New York
much to do with freuds at primaries
Cheering and laughter that inter
rupted the speech, and cries of ssques-
tion.o MIR. Lawson continued: ct made
q little slip of the tongue in leaving out
the word Investigating Frauds but leave
the matter to the convention" The report
of the committee was finally agreed to.
Ayes 24s, nays 236. In the case of Seneca
recommended the contestants be admitted.
A member of the committee on credentials
favored the sitting delegates, said he
desired to make minority report in their
favor. desultory discussion followed,
the question was called and the chairman
said it was to the adoption of the report of
the committee. Delegates insisted that
motion to substitute the minority report
mad been made. The chairman said the mo.
ton was made too late. Great confusion
ensued, and amid cheers and Kisses the chair
said the rules which controlled the conven-
ton did not provide for the presence of
policemen TO put down disorder, but they
were such as all gentlemen would obey
He then announced that the ayes and NAYS
had been called on the question of the
adoption Of the report of the committee.
The vote resulted, ayes 217, nays 272. The
chairman then, amid applause, declared
the report Of the committee rejected.
The temporary chairman was then con-
tinued as permanent chairman Pets,
defeated for temporary chairman, declined
the offer of the permanent craftsmanship.
The convention rejected motion for
another recess, and proceeded to vote for
candidate for governor. The first ballot
| resulted a5 follows: Judge Folger, 223:
Alonzo B. Cornell, 1850; James w. Wads-
! worth, SO; John Il. Staur, 10; John G. Rob-
Inson, 6; necessary to a choice, 249 The
result was received without any demonstra-
| ton, and the convention at once settled
down for another ballot. The second bal
| lot was taken amid breathless silence.
While the vote was being counted there
were many changes OF votes. The Broome
county delegates changed from Robinson
| to Folger, and Saratoga county announced
a change of eight votes from Starin to
| Cornell, Montgomery county then with
! drew Starin and changed its vote to Cor
| nell and lewis county changed four votes
from Wadsworth to Cornell. There was
| much confusion and excitement at this
point. Fifty men were on their feet at the
| same time, and announcing changes. The
chairman found it impossible to maintain
order, and refused to recognize delegates
until quiet was restored. Disorder reigned
for some minutes. It looked as if the
convention was making stampede to-
wards Cornell and the excitement was at
fever heat. At length order was restored.
An Oneida county delegate an
| nounced change of eleven
! delegates from Wadsworth to
Cornell. Loud calls for another roll call
were made, and the confusion was re-
newed. Delegates charged that the change
| of Oneida county to Cornell had been
| announced without authority. The roll
| call of this county resulted In nine for
| Wadsworth, two for Cornell, two for Fol
ger Niagara announced change of one
vote from Wadsworth to Folger, Monroe a
! like change, and a delegate changed his
vote III the confusion from Wadsworth to
| Cornell. 4 delegate shouted, Gardiner,
| Of Monroe, changed from Wadsworth to
Folger." Delegates were on seats in diff
fererit parts of the hall shouting at the
| chairman, butno one was recognized. The
| confusion became SO great that changes
! were shouted that could not be heard. Or
| der having been somewhat restored, Gen.
| Sharpe, who nominated Folger, announced
| that Oneida county wished to cast nine
| votes for Folger. Changes were showing
| unfayorably to Cornell, and a Lawrence
| delegate said it was evident that Judge
Foiger had the nomination, and he moved
the nomination be made by reclamation.
! Ruled out of order.
Mr.. Sharpe asked that the nomination
about to be made be made decently and in
order, and that delegates take their seats.
Order was finally restored, and the vote an
| nounced as follows: Folger, 257; Cornell,
222; Wadsworth, IS; necessary to choice,
249. The result was received with tumul-
tuous cheers, and Warner Miller, United
States senator, said the friends of Gov.
Cornell have labored necessarily to secure
his nomination, and moved that the nom
| ination of Judge Folger be made unani-
nous. This was done and three cheers
| given, and the convention took a recess
till tomorrow morning.
4 DISAPPOINTMENT.
NEW YoRK, Sept. 20.-The Times says
of the nomination at Saratoga, 1T is hardly
worth while Analysing the influences which
have contributed to the nomination of
Judge Folger as the Republican candidate
for governor of this state. The fact is
that the Gould Conkling combination,
backed by all the power which the federal
administration could exert. has accom-
plished what it set out to do. The result
will be a disappointment to majority of
Republicans, and to a large number of
voters who on other than party grounds
