A FORGED DISPATCH.
Great excitement was caused by the dis
covery that the dispatch was a forgery
authorizing Police. Commissioner French, of
New York, to act as proxy for Collector
Robertson at the meeting of the State Com
mittee. The dispatch read as follows:
New YORK, September 10, 1882
To Hon. Stephen R. French, Grand Union Hotel.
Saratoga:
Please act as my proxy at the meeting of
aPaid." W. H. ROBERTSON.
Considerable indignation is expressed, and
rigid investigation will be made to dis
cover the perpetrators tf the fraud. The
forged message has been photographed, and
copies circulated among the delegates with a
view to the Identification of the handwriting.
THE 'TIMEs" ON THE NOMINATION.
New York, September 21.-The Times
says of the nomination. at Saratoga: sit is
hardly worth while anslyzing the iu-
fuencss which have contributed TO the nomi
nation of Judge Folger as the Republican
candidate for governor of this State The
fact Is, the Gould-Conklipg combination.
backed by all the power which the Federal
administration could exert, has accom-
plished what il set out to do. The result
will be disappointment to the majority OF
Republicans and to large number of voters,
who on other than party grounds have ap-
preciated the significance of the fight made
against Governor Cornell. 1t may also turn
out to be disappointment to the men who
have been mainly instrumental in bringing
il about"
MANIFEsTLY A FRAUD.
The Evening Post has a dispatch from
Saratoga, which Gays: General Hustled re-
eeived to-day the following dispatch from
Mr.. w. H. Robertson:
WHITE PLAINS. September 2u. 1882
To General J. w. Hustled, care ]. W. Vroomsn:
Stephen B. French has no authority, and never
had 70 represent me in the state COMMITTEE HIS y.
the westchester delegates and fraud upon me-
~ - -'-'' -'-'e ''''-'S W. Il. ROBERTSON.
The above was received at Congress Hall
about o'clock pm. Yesterday, but as Hustled
was at the Grand Union Hotel, it did not
come into his hands until II o'clock to-day.
At the close OF the Convention French was
again sought out and asked with reference TO
this Hustled dispatch. He renewed his for-
mer statement that be was authorized TO act
as proxy by telegraph, and added, with the
en phasis of his umbrella handle on the
palm of his hand, sThe bottom facts in this
case are simply these: Robertson has all
along declared 10 me, and to others OF Fol-
gers, friends, that helm ended TO support the
candidate of the administration, and on the
other hand he has persistently declared 10 Al
Dagget that he was for Cornell"
Al the Western Union Office, P. E. Wester-
welt, receiver of dispatches, says no dispatch
ever went out of the Office on a Seeding
blank. If such dispatch is alleged to have
been received by anyone, it is prinsG facts
fraud.
John G. Owen, manager of the Western
Union Office, says if the French dispatch is
one of the compaBy's counter blanks 1t IS
msnifestly fraudulent. He never delivers a
message on such blank.
