many of them evidently found perplexing. Ih's
was shown by the one significant fact that sup
porters of Judge Folger and earnest ones too prl-

Candid men on each side were disposed to believe
that the votes for the two leading candidates were
much moro evenly divided than they wished they
were, with loose unorgauHed mass ol

expected Judge Folger's nomination because he
knew what patronage would do. Another OF thc
same class put it very epigrammaticaly by saying
that in the long run the big machine wears out the
little one Which the bIg machine and which
was the little one it hardly necessary to say.
The friends of Governor Cornell showed more con-
fdence early in the day than the other side. One OF
the coolest of them SAID Governor Cornell would
have about 2Oj votes on the first ballot, Folger 100
and Wadsworth about 20, leaving IT anybodyS
race for the nomination. Other Cornell representa-
tives who had made careful canvasses insisted that
his vote would be 219, that Folgers
would not reach 100 on the first
ballot unless Congressman Woods friends went
over 10 the Secretary without waiting 10 give the
Troy Congressman his complimentary vote. Ihe
first ballot will Le needed to put at rest all the con
hctIng stories about number OF the delegations
On the whole the delegates themselves have been
rather slow in arriving and the downright caucuSs
ing and canvassng did not begin until tonight
when the bulk of them had arrived. This work
will continue through the greater part OF the night,
and both sides Will exhaust every means to lniu-
doubtful or waveriug men. Some OF these are
likely to stay away until the last moment especially
If they have made promises to both Sides which
OF them have done, and this adds another eie-
ment of uncertainty to the figures of the first ballot
1t will make the situation little clearer, perhaps,

then show which are disputed.
The following votes seem to be conceded TO
Folger OH both sides for the first ballot the num-
bers given him in NewYork and Kings being those
