Republicans tn NOV York.

and the convention will open tomor-
 row with near,y full representa-
 ton. The preferences of the dele gates elected give some intelligent idea of the probable action of the
 convention. Two things seem clear
 ton on the first ballot, and second, that the partisans of the Federal
 Administration will not control the , organization of the convention. There are now six candidates who
 have delegates in their favor: Gov.
 Cornell, Secretary Folger, Congress
 man James ". Wadsworth and Wal
 ter A. Wood, ex Congressman John
 H. Starin, and Gen. John c. Robin
 son, who was Lieut-Governor under Gov. Dix in 1S72-'74. Nearly all
 the delegates c1cep. those for Folger
 have either been instructed for the
 various candidates or have announced
 their choice. With few exceptions
 those for Folger are uninstructed,
 should more properly be classified
 as Administration delegates. They
 were elected through the influence
 of the Federal Administration, and
 will vote for Folger or any other
 man the Administration may select.
 As Secretary Folger appears at pres
 ent to be the Arthur candidate, all of the delegates of this character are
 credited to him. The convention
 will be composed of 496 member,
 making 249 votes necessary for q, nomination. The contest at Sara toga will be close and exciting, and the result in doubt. The attempt of Arthur and Conkling, aided by Jay Gould, to prevent the nomination of Gov. Cornell, and to dictate the nominee of the party, has reused very bitter feeling throughout the State. Reports come here from all sections of Republicans who declare that they will bolt the ticket if Fol | ger or any other distinctively Ad- ministration candidate is selected. Senator Warner Miller, who favors the renominatIon of Gov. Cornell, and who will probably lead his forces l in the convention, says: "The Ad ministration is aiming especially to get control of the party machinery If it succeeds, the Republicans will see power controlling their organi- zation and exercising a supervision over the pettiest matters and the pet tiest offices such as has never been seen before in this country" This is an Administration that thinks about the offices and. nothing else. The real significance of the contest has become apparent as the canvass progressed. and although Cornell may be beaten, it is believed that more than 8 majority of the dele gates will unite against the Admins tration candidate for Governor. If, contrary to the present indications the Administration should prove 1 victorious, i: Is not improbable that i an indepcrdc dent m movcment similar to 1 the one in Pennsylvania may be 1 started.

He did not believe that DanenhOwer ever made reflection upon him that his words were mis- construed and misinterpreted.
