CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR
WAYNE COUNTY NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..


| Lyons, n. Y, Sept. 16.-The complexion of the
delegation to the Republican State Convention
| from Wayne County has been a subject OF dispute
among the politicians of the State since the conven-
tions were held in the two Assembly Districts last
week. The county f. entitled to seven votes In the
! State Convention four from what Is called the
| Western District. and three from the Eastern The
| conventions were held week ago, hut tic dele
| gates from both districts were uninsiructed, which
! has given rise to doubts rs to how the vote oi the
| county will stand. 4 careful INVESTIGATION by The
| TRBUNE's correspondent leads to the belief that
the vote will be divided between different candl-
d,tcs. unless there j., thought 10 he good chance
! for the nomination Of Mr. WadswOrth for Governor
in which case the delegates from this county will he
solid for him. OF the candidates now prominently
mentioned for the Office of Governor there S no
question that Mr. Wadsworh would pol more
votes in this county than Mr. Cornell or Mr. Folgcr
| such is the expressed conviction of Judge Collins
! Congressman Camp. Colonel kIenz"r, +. = AVcIlll

| Wadsworth the sentiment of the Republicans avors

withsiandng The state of affairs. II seems probable
that Judge Fogcr Will receive rs many If not more
votes from the county than either of the other can
! ddates. Prominent Sawarts here, in fact, ASSERT
that Mr Foleer viii, after or two ballots have
been taken. ge. all but one Of the votes from thlS
county. The eani-AdminlstratiOn Republicans deny
this hut their principal ground for 50 doing Is that

siltuen,s
The fact is that the Half-brccds were caught

The Stalwart obtained an advantage in the candi-
dacy of Mr. Camp for denomination as member of
Congress He is a Staiwart. and in the memorable

although a stalwart in politics he Is not 50 pro-
nounced as to make himself particularly objection
able TO his fellow Republicans Of the county. Hence

county delegates TO the Congressional Convention
| especially as most OF his opponents did not thnk
that the candidate from this county could be NOM
mated tins year Mr. Camp and lis friends, there
fore were allowed wide latitude IN the election OF
delegates to the District Conventions. The same
convention chose delegate, to the State Convention
and TO the Congressional Convention Thus 1t hap
pencd that Mr Camps influence and that of his
Stalwart friends was allowed to be used TO secure
delegates TO the state Convention who might under
certain circumstances be induced vote for judge

min ,tratlon the votes of j. d. Bennett,S. Il. stuart
John A. Munson and J. b. Smith. after one or Two
ballots. and are apparently certain that Governor
Cornell will not get any votes from this county.
Opinions differ on the subject. 4. 5. AycIllI, Ed
