Der of voters, who. on other than part,
grounds. have appreciated the significance o
the fight made against & ,vernor Cornell.
may also tarn out q disappointment To tn,
men aho have been msinly instruu eatal il
bringing it about, WHO have deliberately Sc
| aside the strongest candidate presented t.
them, and have chosen a nominee, who, i
not the weakest in public estimation, is a
least representative of the weakest anc
most unpopular section of the Republ'c II
party. 1t is sufficient to note thu fact tina
the Republican party is represented by q can
| didate who is not in any sense the choice o
majority of its voters, and who, il elected
at all, must owe his election altogether tc tn,
instinct of party fealty rather than to popu
lar choice. Jay Gould has triumphed a
Saratoga. Lat the facts be distorted ever e,
ingeniously, future Governors of this Stat,
have been warned that they cannot safel,
