think il will have a marked effect OH our cOnyCn-
ton" Another conspicuous Democrat of NeY-lOrk
said Between that ticket aud one headed by fttll'
I am free to say that my choice will be Davenport,
in case 1 vote at all. In State election do not
recognize the need of standing by my party"
Many other Democrats expressed approval OF the
ti.,et The opponents oil Hill are urging this fact
against his nomination. openly asserting that II the
Democrats hope to win better man than iiill must
be nominated.
While Democrats can find nothing IN the ticket to
critclse the Republicans are Iu1llant. The result
is victory for man or faction. Tic adh'rcnts

suaded not TO take that course ut he sent Senator

yentiOn to see that nothing OF the kind was
attenpted No effort was made her 10 push his can

would be an available man for the friends of eX-
Governor Cornell to rally around IN 0rte: 10 defeat
Mr. Warren or General Carr. hut Mr. Davenport
was fully as satisfactory to the supporters OF tue
latter gentlemen as he was to those OF Mr. Cornell
and Mr. Morton. us WIS evident rom the vote to-
day and from the warm expressions ot approval
heard on all sides over his nomination. His record
III public life clean character ana manly indepen-
dence is guarantee to all that no faction or set of
men will have undue influence with him; and II Is
known that be is absolutely flee from pledges OF all
kinds
While it is true that all are satisfied with Mr..
Davenport it cannot be denied that the friends OF
Cornelius n. Bliss hoped to nominate him for Gov
ernOr. The success OF that movement depended
upon the withdrawal of Mr.. War; III. and his friends
pnde4vored to persuade him late last night to with
draw but he concluded to stick for at least one
more ballot Efforts to induce General Carr to
Withdraw met with like response, as he could not
believe that he would not be chosen.
wAGM APPROVAL OF THH TICKET AND PLATFORM.
The convention was not mood to prolong the
balloting to-day, and when man so elnmenIly sat
isiactory to all as Mr.. Davenport exhibited great
strength his nomination naturally followed. bat
it came about because of IA general good WILL and
not through any efforts of his own his personal
friends makes the result all the more pleasing to
Republicans "The convention cculd not have
done better" said Senator Miller Tonight. The
way to victory is clear" said James Warren. ave
all know Mr. la !enpOrt," said General j. y. Knapp,
Of Auburn, " and next to General seward lie will be
the most satisfactory to u.s." Dr. Swinbnrne aDd
others have expressed warm approval Of the
ticket The friends of Ex-Governor Cornell are OF
course well pleased. as it was largely owing to his
excellent management that the nomination was 50
quickly made.
Concerning the choice of General Carr for Lieu
tenant-G GOVERNOR there was only onc opinion in the
convention, as shown by tho vote. His excel
lent record and ms genial manners made everybody
here his friend and though he declared that hc did
not want the place. his love for his rarty compelled
him to accept. Ghe nomination of Colonel Wood to
be Secretary of State was so i'll the line OF Civil
Service reform that 1t carried tine convention by
Storm though il had not been previously discussed.
The only spirited contest was that over the nomina-
tion of HttoTncy-Cieneral. IL was contest OF
locality, and though decided against Brooklyn 1t
left no unpleasant feeling. Mr.. Mitchell. of New
York, made no canvass for the place. as he was
working here for Mr. Bliss. Senator Thomas reaped
the fruits of his previous labor i'll that direction.
The platform gives equal satisfaction with the
ticket Not a word of criticism has been heard
here.
The new State Committee will organize in New
York on Wednesday next. Many of the old mein-
bers have dropped out, conspicuous among whom
are James u. Warren and Andrew 3 Draper Mr.
Warren retres after MANY years of faithful service
and in accordance with IA determination announced
before the convention assembled. 1t is probable !
that Chester s. Cole, of Steuben, the home Of Mr. |
Davenport will be made chairman of the com |
