The New York Nominations.

The nominations of the two parties oftheir
candidates for Governor in New York, last
week, are important, from the bearing which
the election in that State this year may have
on the Presidential election of 1884 The
Republicans nominated Judge Folger, secre-
tary of the Treasury, after a stormy con-
test, in which the stalwarts, with the infiu-
ence of the Federal administration, achieved
victory over their opponents.
The stalwarts captured the convention and
nominated Judge Folger by the trick of read
ing forged telegram from Collector Robert
son, Withdrawing his name as a delegate and
authorizing another to take his place. The
fraud is not relished by the friends of Gov
Cornell and other candidates, and is not like
ly to add to Republican harmony in New
York.
The nomination of Judge Folger has been
received with great dissatisfaction by the
Republican press of New York, and lacking
the united support of his party it is difficult
to see how he can be elected, even with the
flood of money which will be poured into the
State by the stalwart machine for the purpose
of corrupting voters.
The Democratic convention on Friday
nominated as their candidate for Governor
OF New York Grover Cleveland, mayor of
Buffalo. Their platform contains distinct
reaffrmation of the Jeffersonian Democratic
principles of economy and simplicity in
government and respect for the liberty of the
individual.
The convention was entirely harmonious,
ana witnessed the reunion of all factions of
the party upon a common platform and a
popular candidate. The strength of the
Democratic ticket may be better estimated
by the remarks of leading Republican jour
nails than by what is said of it by its own
political friends.
The New York Tribune Republican J
says
To defeat the Democratic ticket, now sup.
ported by united Democracy, is task reauir-
ing the utmost wisdom and strength of the
whole Republican party of New York, AT least
one-half OF them were more or less dissatisfied
with the work at Saratoga"
The Buffalo ErpresS, the leading Republi-
can paper in Western New York, has repu.
dated the nomination of Judge Folger and
openly declares for the election of the Demo-
cratic candidate. 1t says:
"Will Cleveland be elected? 1t would be
mere robustness on our part to pretend to feel
the slightest doubt aboutit, and since the fraud
ulent nomination ofan administration candidate
Tor the Republicans, it would be rank hypo-
crlsy to pretend that we do not earnestly wish
II. We think he will get the largest majority
ergiven to any man for Governor of New York
and If he does not receive in Erie county the
largest vote ever given to any candidate for a
State office in the same district, we shall miss
our mark by long shot"
The Philadelphia Times independent
says:
All the present indications point to the sue
cess OF the Democrats at the coming election,
IN spite of the money it is understood that jay
could is to put into the Stalwart campaign
The Baltimore Sun says:
with pcrspcacity creditable to their in
telligencc, the New York Democrats recognize
That reform is the live question of the times
ana they show themselves wise in their day and
generation in choosing an untainted man of
vigorous character to give effect to ehcr wishes
Mayor Cleveland, who is comparatively young
man, commenced life poor, but has risin to pro.
minence by his own industry and integrity"
