former dispatches, Charles j. Foger was nomi-
mated for governor last night on the second ballot
1t was accomplished by the delegates changing
their votes after the roll had been called. There
was an exciting scene for an hour through the
efforts OF the Cornell men to stampede the Wads-
worth and Starn vote for Cornell This was met
by the Foger men to accomplish the same thing.
The latter had the advantage, ,lorthey only wanted
Is votes to nominate him, and succeeded I'm get
ting that number. Before the Cornell men worked
up TO fever heat. the excitement and confusion
with one-half the convention yelling ''Mr Chair
man" at the same time was kept UP for half an
hour after Folger had received votes enough To
nominate him. The Cornell men tried TO take
their defeat with good grace, but it was plainly
bitter pill. I. :. Senator Warner Miller made the
speech TO make the nomination unanimous. but
his remarks were all in praise OF Cornell not OF the
nominee. large portion OF the Cornell men left
for home during the night, and the crowd here has
been materially reduced
THE NEW STATE COMMITTEE
started by the convention is two-thirdS stalwart
which is a complete revolution in its complexion
In one year. The halt-breed republicans are In
small majority. The machine In this state has
been set in another direction. Ex-senator Thos
c. Platt this year goes on the state committee
single vote last year. A desperate effort was
made by the half-breedS and Cornell men this
morning to defeat b. Platt Carpenter for iauten-
ant governor on accusation that he sold the
hal1-breedS out on the state committee. They
pushed Hamilton Fish, Jr., forward for that pur-
pose. Carpenter led on the first ballot and Fish
on the second, but B. Plat Carpenter was nomi-
mated on the second ballot.
