lican Convention tor the county of Ontario was held
here tins afternoon and resulted in the election OF
a solid Cornell delegation to the State Convention.
The vote was very emphatic standing 30 to -
AGAINST Folger. This result was achieved In the
face of the opposition of the united machine,
United States Senator Lapham appearing as dele
gate bv substitution and making a strong appeal
for the election Of FOlgcr delegates. He made the
plea that Foger was the home candidate, and
should be given at least a complimentary vote from
Ontario County. lie repealed the insinuation that
Folger was the representative of any faction, ana
claimed that he was the only candidate whose
nomination would insure success at the polls.
These arguments were ably met by oX-State Sena-
tor Hicks and others, aud did not affect single
vote. The delegation elected is as follows: Edwin
Hicks. Charles +. Read, John II. Benham. Charles
X. Case Marcus l.. Pickett and a. NJ Purdy. AL
