OPINIONS AT THE EXCHANGES.

There was general satisfaction among the MEM
beIs of the Produce Exchange yesterday because OF
the nomination OF Judge Folger for Governor. Even
Democrats admitted that judge Folgcr wOud make
strong candidate, and SAID that II would
be necessary for the Democratic factions TO
unite and select the very best man IN their
ranks to lead their ticket, if they hoped to reach
anywhere near success. 1t was SAID also that the
nominal on of Mr. Folgcr would tend to concliate
all differences in the Republican party and that the
factions would amalgamate and work hand IN
hand great deal OF interest as to whether or not
the Republican platform would include Il
plank III favor of the free canal Amendments was
shown. 1t argued Gthat such an expression, if
aggressive and determined, would draw many luke
warm Democrats into the Republican
ranks. Assurances were gwen by those
having personal relations with M Foger that
lac is IN favor Of the abolition Of tolls the canals
Al the Cotton Exchange, many of the members of
which are Democrats, it was declared that Judge
Folger would be- such II strong candidate that the
Democrats would have to select the best man in
the state i'm order To stand any chance cl eicctHg
their candidate.
David BOWS was found at his Office in South-st,
deeply engaged in business When IA reporter of
TnE Tribune asked for his views upon
the nomination OF Mr. FOlger he said
" Now, while | take great interest IN the present
campaign, and have my own preferences as TO
candidate and carefully weigh their characters,
| go not COurt appearing cpn~picuOusly III puDHc
plnt. | Will say. however, tina Ike the nOulna-
ton of Judge EOlger very mucn indeed. l think 1t
was the most sensible and wise thing that the Re
publican party could have done. The chances for
MS election decidedly better than CornclHs
would have been. will admit. though, tnat MIR
Cornell has made an exceedingly good Governor,
ana ike him. but with the troubles that have
arisen through charges made against HIM II would
have been difficult To reject him the party would
not have come together; but now the
come one body. With MI Cornell there would
not nave been that cOdallty Of feeling the party
that there will be with Mr. FOlger. There is ono
important element of interest to the business men
as well az to the farmers throughout the State-lt
is the tree canal amendment / don't know what
MT FOlgcrs views are excepting that believe lie
is in favor OF abolishlng the canal tolls"
Leonard NJ. ildzcltne, OF Hustled ~ liazeltine,
said: 81" lhe nomination Of Mr.. Folgcr is very
excellent one. | don't think there Is superior
man n the country. lie Will bring to the office OF
Governor that dignity and honesty which are only
possible IN such man. don't
be dictated to, and if ANYTHING could b. done 10
cement the two wings OF the party and eliminate
all differences, this VIII do it, 1t VIII be agreeable
TO him to make the change, for he has been hard
worker as Secretary Of tine Treasury. think he
VIII be more satisfactory to the people and poll a
larger vote than Cornell did three years ago, who
al that time was forced upon the party by COnkllng
~ a rebuke to the Hayes Administrations
Another member OF the Produce Exchange said
" feel very much rcjoiced at the work OF the con-
ventlon and it will prove OF more benefit 10 the
party than anything else could have done. Mr..
folp,I will draw votes from the Democrats but (
Cornell had been nominated he would have had
only the ukew arm support of some Republicans"
- am very glad" sand Edward AMMAN, OF Amman
4 Uazcltlne " that Judge fOlgeI got the uOuina-
ton. lie /, an excellent man and ought to carry
tue State without much hard work. hope the con
yeniion wall not forget to incorporate into the plat
form something l.: support oi the free canal amend
