visit here, but his friends very confident of his
nomination II Judge Folger has any intention OF
retiring from the field he has not disclosed II to his
friends here. On the contrary thev talk more conf
IDENTIFY OF his nomination since his visit to Syracuse.
The influences at work to bring about his nOmina-
tioD are subtle and deceiving in many instances.
Strong Republican counties have been carried for
Mr. FOlgcr, although known to be Overwhelmingly
opposed to HIM because he was considered to be the
Administration candidate. This is notably the case
here in Onondaqa County. Of iis fifteen votes in
the State Convention, Judge Folg'r is accredited
with twelve by persons who to say the least,
d" know what they are talking about" There Is one
district yet to elect it delegates bu; that district s
known particularly as the Bcdcn district. and il Is
conceded that Mr BcldeD will control 1t; and AS he
is working for Folgcr in quiet manner. there
is little doubt rs 20 how tho delegates will stand.
The result hero has been brought about largely
by the fact that no open canvass has been made on
the question of the Goycrnorship. II is admitted
by all that the Ouondaga Republicans are BY
large majority opposed To Mr. FOiger's nomination
or that of any Other VINO properly be des'g-
na;cd as administration" Ihe question, how
ever, was not brought UP in tine ctucuses In
few OF these resolutions were passed unanimously
in favor of the denomination of Governor Cornell.
Congressman H..cock is the most powerful agent in
Next to HIM comes Mr. BcIdcn and then,
perhaps, Senator Mccarthy. All Of these
men have been regarded rs cxponcnts

counted in the same way, but that Is more ~
certain.
Carroll +. Smith, Editor of The journal heads the
delegation from one Of the districts. In convcrsa-
ton with TIE TRIBUNE correspondent to-day he
said
The Republican sentiment Of this county Is
very strongly M favor OF the denomination OF Gov
ernor Cornell. have met prominent Republicans
from all part, Of the county during tue week, and
all agree as to this fact. Nj Wadsworh would poll
the most votes. and next TO him Mr Cornell and
then Mr. Foger. IN one of the district conventions
there were just three Srtalwarts on test vote On
tie question of mstructilg the delegates
for Mr. Foger. and IN the Other
convention tlerc were five Stalwarts. Yet OF
the ten delegates already elected six are counted for
Mr. Tolgcr. with probability OF his obtaining one
OF two more out of the ten. This akind ofjugglery
which the Republicans Of tins county will not sus-
