cipline of the republican machine will
be brought out in his behalf"
New YORK, Sept 2l.-The Times has
the following on the convention: "Ihe
result will be disappointment to most
OF the republicans, and to a large num-
ber of voters, who, on other than party
grounds have appreciated the signih-
cance of the fight made against Gov
Cornell, 1t may also turn out to be n
disappointment to the men who have
been instrumental in bringing 1t about.
1t is alleged representatives have delib-
crafty set aside the strongest candidate
presented to them and have chosen q
nominee, who il not weakest in public
estimation, is at least the representative
of the weakest and most unpopular sec
tions Of the republican party. 1t is suf-
ticient to note the fact that the rCnubli-
can party is represented by Il candidate
who is not in any sense choice OF a
majority Of its voters, and who, if cleo
ted at all, must owe his election alto
gether to the party rather than the pop
ular choice. Jay Gould has triumphed
at Saratoga. Let the facts be distorted
ever 50 ingeniously, future Governors of
this State have been warned that they
can't safely run counter to schemes Of
Gould, let the republican candidate be
ever 81 strict a constructionist OF the
duty which the State executive owes the
people. Defeated or victorious, the re.
publican party of New York has received
a blow in the house of its friends which
is purely gIatuitous tritling with its
strength, and which will do more than
anything which 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 locked
to it us an exponent OF political morality
and the champion Of political reform.
