OdldIOSds Lu6 SECOND D2lIOG |
was taken amid breathless silence,
and while the vote was being
counted, there were many changes
of votes. BrOOme County delegates |
changed from Robinson to F0loer.
and Saratoga County announced a |
change of eight votes from Storm to |
Cornell. Montgomery County then
withdrew Storm. and changed |
its vote to Cornell. Lewis
County changed four votes from
WadsWorth to Cornell. Much con-
fusion and excitement at this point |
brought all the men on their feet at |
the same time and announcing
changes. The chairman found it |
impossible to restore order, and re-
fused to recognize delegates till |
quiet was restored disorder reigned
and for some minutes it looked as
if the convention was making q !
stampede toward Cornell, and ex-
element was at fever heat. Att
length order was restored. The
Oneida delegate announced a change
of delegates from WadsWorth to
Cornell. Loud calls for another
roll call and confusion was re-
newed. Delegates charged that the
change Of Oneida to Cornell had
been announced without authority,
and the roll call of this county re-
suited in nine for WadsWortb, two
for Cornell, two for Folger. Niagara
announced a change of vote from
WadswOrth to FOlger. Monroe an
nOunced a like change, and delegates
changed from WadsWOrth to Cornell.
Delegates shouted. Gardner Of Mon
roe changed from WadswOrth to
Folger. The delegates were now
on the seats in different parts of
the hall shouting at the chair
man, but no one was recognized.
Order being somewhat restored,
General Sharpe, who nominated
Foiger, announced that Ulster
County desired to cast nine votes
for Folger. The changes were
showing unfayorable to Cornell, and
a St. Lawrence delegate said it
was evident Judge FOlger had the
nomination, and he moved the
nomination be made by acclama-
ton. Ruled out OF order. Sharpe
asked that the announcements about
to be made be made decently and in
order, and that the delegates take
their seats. Order was finally re-
stored. Vote announced as fol-
lows: Folger 257, Cornell 222, Wads-
worth IS; necessary to choice
249. The result was received
with tumultuOuS cheers. Warner
Miller United States senator, said
the friends of Governor Cornell
have labored necessarily TO secure
his denomination, and moved that
his nomination of Judge FOlger be
made unanimous. This was done.
COMMENTS.
New York, 20.-TO-mOrrOw S SIM
viii say Of F0lger, in nomination for
governor in Saratoga yesterday:
The republicans put up q candidate
whose name ought to be an adj
monition to democrats at Syracuse,
to-day. FOlgers political experience
and official career in the legislature,
on the bench as chief justice of the
court of appeals, and in President
Arthur'S cabinet as secretary of the
treasury, has set him before the
public as man Of weight and judg-
ment, He will have full support of
the republican party Of the state.
He will be strongly sustained by the
administration and all the power and
discipline of the republican machine
will be brought out in his behalf.
New York, 20.-Defeated or vic
toriOus the republican party of New
York has received a blow IN the
house of the friends, which is purely
a gratitHouS = trifiing with its
strength, and which viii do mere
than anything which has happened
in the last ten years to diminish its
capacity for growth, and to leave 1T |
without sympathy or respect OF
those who looked Dit as an eXpon-
ent of political morality and the |
of political reform.
To-morrow's Times has the fol
lowing On the convention: The re-
suit will be a disappointment to a
majority OF republicans and to a |
large number of voters Whe, on !
other than party grounds, have ap-
preciated the significance Of the
fight made against Governor Cor
nell. 1t may also tnrn cut a disap-
pointment TO the men who have
mainly been instrumental in bring
ing it about. The alleged repre-
sentatives have deliberately sesI
aside the strongest candidate
presented TO them, and have
chosen nominee who, if
not the weakest in the public esti-
nation, is at least the representa-
tive Of the weakest and most IN
popular section of tile republican
party. 1t is sufficient TO note the
fact that the republican party IS
represented by a candidate who is
not in any sense the choice of the
majority of the voters, and who, isl
elected at all, must owe the election
altogether TO the instinct OF party
rather than to popular choice. Jay
Gould has triumphed at Sara
toga. let the facts be dis
torted ever SO ingeniousIy, and
future governors of this state have
been warned that they can not
