gates from the western part Of the State to the
Republican Convention TO be held in Saratoga
next week il now about settled. Nearly every
county in this section has elected its delegates
held cnucuses enough to determine who will be Its
choice for Governor. The result shows that Gov
ernor Cornell has been generally ndorsed. aud that
a large majority of the delegates from Western
New-York will be aDti-AdminlstratiOn. The
machine which Is regarded as synonymous with
the Administration at Washington. has been disap-
pointed in more than one instance. and its power
TO nominate a candidate of its own at Saratoga
next week is seriously questioned by it's
leaders here. The manner in which public interest
has been awakened in the contest for Governor.
during the last two weeks. has not tended TO aid
the friends Of the Administration. The more the
question Is stirred up the worse it is for Secretary
Folgcr. who is generally regarded as the Admins
tration candidate. The apathetc Republicans are
entirely Of that class who turned ont last year to
place the stamp of their dlsapproval npon the acts
OF Roscoe COnkling. These men have not forgotten
tho death of Garfield and the series OF acts that led
up to 1t. and As they become warmed up to the
contest now going on tor Governor they turn out
TO defeat what they believe to he the wishes OF
Roscoe Conkling Hence the conventions yet TO be
ned in the rural districts where the primaries
have not already determined matters, are moro
likely to be anti-Administratlon than If they had
been held a week ago. If Secretary foleers
friends could only make the Republicans OF the
rural districts believe that he is not the choice of
Conkling and Arthur, and was not III sympathy
with the Stalwarts IN their war upon Garfield,
then his nomination would be n comparatively
easy matter But This can hardly be done, so long
as the men who wear 3O6" brass medals, and the
members of the Spartan band at Albany, aud
all the Federal officials, are working in unison
with the apparent object of nominating HIM ior
Governor. He might almost well say save me
from my friends" II defeated 1t will be because
he is borne down" by these forbidden and
abhorrent forces" and If nominated it will be be-
cause of the aid of anti-Conkling Republicans who
think he will he superior to these Stalwart iu.
huences " hen in the Governors chair.
Let any unbiased person spend week or two
travelling among the rural Republicans OF this
State and 1t Will be dificut for him TO escape the
conviction that Roscoe Conkling is the most un-
popular member of the party, and that ata allow
estimate hree.fourths of the Republicans are ami
Administration. This is the honest conviction OF
the correspondents of the New-York journals who
have been traversing the State during the last
month TuE IRIBUNgs correspondent has met

some of whom have been hunting for Wadsworth
booms and some for Cornell bOOms." and 1t was
the unanimous sentiment that outside OF the large
cities the great majority of the Republicans are
nti-Admlnistration. Without exception the men
at the head of the movement for the nomination or
Mr. Folger are the Federal office-holders, and this
Is enough to condemn 1t in those districts where
changes have been made IN these officials merely to
find places for the Conkling Arthur Stalwarts.
YET the belief in many quarters that Mr.. Conkling
is not for Mr.. Folger is helping the Secretarys
candidacy
The twenty-one delegates from this county TO tho
State convention will ali vote for Foger. James
D. Warren, who is the Stalwart "boss" IN Erie
Comfy, said to-day that he expected these dele
gates would all vote for Folg,r. he issue, he
says was squarely made at the primaries aud tho
result was a large majority for Foger. lie thinks
Nj. Folger Will Toe nominated but recognizes the
fact that dark horse" may bs brought cut in
order to decide the contest at Saratoga. in which
case the Erie delegation will tavOI Judge Daniels
OF the Supreme Court. He will be remembered as
the Judge who heard the application OF the
Attorney General for mandamus to compel the
railroads to accept and forward freight expedi-
tiousy. Mr. Warren says that Mr.. Coukilng ls Lot
in favor of the nomination of Judge Folger, but
would like to BEE Clarence Seward nominated.
If Judge FOlger is nominated for Governor Mr..
Warren thinks that B. Platt Carpenter, chairman
of the state Committee, will probably be nomi-
mated for LieutenantGOvernOr. 1t is expected
that Mr.. Carpenter will bring the Dutchess dele
CATION to the Convention uninstructed for the
purpose of voting for n candidate for Governor
whose friends will aid in Mr. Carpentcr's nomina-
ton for Lieutenant Governor There is fear
howe, er, that Mr. carpenter is not sufficiently
prone bounced in bis views to please the " Half
breeds" There has been some talk by Stalwarts
of nominating Mr.. WadswOrth for Lieutenant
Governor bat lie bas said that he would not accept
that nomination, rs he prefers to return to Con-
gress and he is certain of his denomination to that
Office
In speaking of the candidacy OF Governor Cor
nell Nj Warren said that he had no fault to find
with his record as Governor. but he afraid than
Mr. Cornell could not be reelected The aniago-
nism created by bis attack on Conklng and other
causes would ALLEVIATE a cons derabe number Of
Republican votes.
There has been a lively contest going on IN the
adjoining county of Niagara over the election Of
delegates to the State Convention. The sentiment
OF the county according TO all outward ndica-
tions. is anti Administration. but Richard Crowley
and the Collector of Customs at Niagara, and
other Federal officials have been working very
hard to secure delegates tor Mr. Foser. The anti
Administration Republicans assert that many Demo.
cratic votes were cast at the primaries already
held for Stalwart Delegates. and they also assert
that it Is by certain that the county will
not send a Cornell delegation to the Convention.
Richard Crowley who was IN this city to day,
however, said that there was not the slightest
doubt that Niagara would elect a Fogrr delega-
ton In Genesse County a Wadsworth delegation
has teen elected Livingston County. which
holds its convention at Avon on September 9. will
also elect a Wadsworth delegation. Monroe
County has elected seven FOlger delegates Ia tho
lid District bat the other two districts viii pre- b.
ably be for Cornell. which will divide the delega-
tion from that county. Orleans County is counted
tor Cornell so is Cattaraugus, while Chautauqua
has already gone TOR WadswOrth. The vote of this
