agree with the report, and said there was
not shadow of reason for the contest. If
such things are to be done in Kings coun-
ty, 1T will be impossible to find q decent
person to go to primary or to the polls.
Daggett demanded that the delegation be
given its rights, and said the contest was
preposterous and absurd. If rightwas not
done he promised that, while Kings county
Republicans would support the ticket,
whatever it might be, yet in the district in
question the Republicans would refuse to
vote, and would let the rag-tag and bob
tail run the machine. a.
Mr.. Lawson, of the committee, said Mr..
Daggetts speech was presented to the
committee and thoroughly denied and con-
troverted Gentlemen, said he, IT have
had in my long experience in New York
much to do with frauds at primaries
Cheering and laughter that inter
rupted the speech, and cries of ''ques-
tion.") Mr.. Lawson continued: 81 made
a little slip of the tongue in leaving out
the word Investigating Frauds but leave
the matter to the convention" The report
of the committee was finally agreed to.
Ayes 248, nays 236. In the case of Seneca
county, Mr.. Lawson said the committee
recommended the contestants be admitted.
member of the committee on credentials
favored the sitting delegates, said he
desired to make a minority report in their
favor. A desultory discussion followed,
the question was called and the chairman
said it was to the adoption of the report of
the committee Delegates insisted that
motion to substitute the minority report
mad been made. The chairman said the mo.
ton was made too late. Great confusion
ensued, and amid cheers and Kisses the chair
said the rules which controlled the conven-
ton did not provide for the presence Of
policemen to put down disorder, but they
were such as all gentlemen would obey.
He then announced that the ayes and nays
had been called on the question OF the
adoption of the report of the committee.
The vote resulted, ayes 217, nays 2Z2. The
chairman then, amid aDn.ause, declared
! the report OF the co-lsnittee rejected.
The temporary chairman was then con-
| tinued as permanent chairman. Pets,
defeated for temporary chairman, declined
| the offer of the permanent craftsmanship.
The convention rejected motion for
another recess, and proceeded to vote for
| candidate for governor. The first ballot
! resulted az follows: Judge Folger, 223;
AlonZo 3. Cornell, E1S0; James w. Wads-
| worth, So; John Ii. Staur, 19; John @. Rob
| inson, 6; necessary to q choice, $40. The
| result was received without any demonstra-
! ton, and the convention at once settled
down for another ballot. The second bal
f. lot was taken amid breathless silence.
| While the vote was being counted there
we're many changes of votes. The Rroome
county delegates changed from Robinson
| to Folger, and Saratoga county announced
| a change OF eight votes from Starin to
Cornell, Montgomery county then with
I drew Starln and changed its vote to Cor
| nell and Lewis county changed four votes
from WadsWorth to Cornell. There was
much confusion and excitement al this
point. Fifty men were on their feet at the
same time, and announcing changes. The
| chairman found 1t impossible to maintain
order, and refused to recognize delegates
until quiet was restored. Disorder reigned
| for some minutes. 1t looked as if the
| convention was making q stampede to-
wards Cornell and the excitement was at
fever heat. At length order was restored
An Oneida county delegate an
nounced change of eleven
| delegates from Wadsworth to
| Cornell. Loud calls for another roll call
| were made, and the confusion was re-
| newed. Delegates charged that the change
| of Oneida county to Cornell had been
| announced without authority. The roll
| call Of this county resulted in nine for
Wadsworth, two for Cornell, two for Fol-
ger. Niagara announced change of one
| vote from Wadsworth to Folger, Monroe
| like change, and delegate changed his
vote IN the confusion from Wadsworth to
| Cornell. 4 delegate shouted, Gardner,
| of Monroe, changed from Wadsworth to
| Folger." Delegates were on seats in diff
| ferent parts of the hall shouting at the
! chairman, but no one was recognized. The
! confusion became so great that changes
were shouted that could not be heard. Or
der having been somewhat restored, Gen.
| Sharpe, who nominated Folger, announced
| that Oneida county wished to cast nine
votes for Folger Changes were showing
unfavorably to Cornell, and Lawrence
delegate said it was evident that Judge
Folger had the nomination, and he moved
| the nomination be made by acclamation
Ruled out of order.
Mr.. Sharpe asked that the nomination
about to be made be made decently and in
! order, and that delegates take their seats.
| Order was finally restored, and the vote an
nounced as follows: Folger, 257; Cornell,
222; Wadsworth, IS; necessary to choice,
| 249. The result was received with tumul-
! tuous cheers, and Warner Miller, United
States senator, said the friends of Gov
| Cornell have labored necessarily to secure
| his nomination, and moved that the nom
| ination of Judge Folger be made unani-
nous. This was done and three cheers
| given, and the convention took . recess
| till tomorrow morning.
