New YORK, Sept. 24.-The political con-
test in this state opens with union in the
Democratic ranks, and with bitter feelings
and much dissension among the Republi-
cans. For once Democratic convention
did wise thing at the critical moment.
and there Is every prospect that the de-
vice adopted at Syracuse to secure har-
mony, will serve its purpose for the pres
ent canvass, and bring to the ticket the
united Democratic vote of this city. The
immense vote of the state of New York is
so evenly divided between the awo parties
when both are united, that a contest be-
tween them on equal terms is always doubt
full. Unfortunately for the Republicans.
1t cannot be claimed that they
are at present heartily united
and in position to exert their full
strength. There is a very ugly feeling
among the Cornell men, who urge that
they were defeated by forgery and bribes.
The Atbony Journal and the New York
Times all but bolt the nomination, and the
Buffalo Express, it is said, will support
Cleveland. The Utica Herald, the Syra
cuse Journal and the Rochester Democrat
cannot give very enthusiastic support to
the ticket, even if they pretend to swallow
the dose. The Times and the Tribune of
this city say more in praise of the Demo
cratic ticket than they said of the Repub-
hcan nominations. The Times SAYS:
THE nomination of Mayor Cleveland, of
Buffalo, for the Office of governor, is likely
to prove one of exceptional strength
and popularity. He appears to represent
not only the better element and higher
character of the Democracy of the state,
but partlsanship apart, some of the best
qualities of our civic and polite life He
seems to belong to the type of rising public
men of which Comptroller Pattison, of
Philadelphia, is another Democratic ex-
ample, and Mayor Low, of Brooklyn. is
one of whom the Republicans are Justly
proud. 1t will be as well to admit his
merits and his strength. and face the fact
that he will be hard man to defeat in
such canvass as is now fairly opened in
this state.''
The Tribune says: ''The nomination
of Mayor Cleveland means hard work for
the Republicans. Yesterdays convention
means united Democratic party with all
that that implies. There must be united
Republican party to face it if the Repub-
hcan ticket is to be elected this fall" A
great many Republicans are disgusted with
the part that Jay Gould took in the defeat
of Cornell. AS political boss they have
even less liking for Gould than as a Wall
street speculator. They believe that Fol-
ger owes his nomination mainly to Gould's
influence, and they look upon this fact as
so significant that they will either vote for
Cleveland or not at ALL"
The Democrats are jubilant over the
situation. They claim that Cleveland will
draw grert many Republican votes in the
western part of the state. His is the sec
tion of the state that has been strongly op-
posed to ConkEng. Nearly all the western
New York delegates, with the exception of
the Buffalo city representatives, were
strongly in favor of Wadsworth or Cornell.
and hot against Folger. Folger's own
home went against him. 1t is agreed,
therefore, that the Democratic candidate
will make large gains west of Cayuga in a
region that usually goes strongly Republi-
can. Many Republicans say the admins
tration has made grave mistake, and
that if Folger is beaten, as he probably
will be, it will be the death blow to
Arthur's aspirations for second term.
