O. Nov York hy a majority OF about 10000.
o. Ole same ticket with HIM was Governor
candidate tor Lieutenant-GoyernOr,
rla.l o Democratic candidate for the
e. e-. w. Appeals of New York. Both OF
t.s. r.e,.yed a. large n vote as Mr. Cleve-
land Governor Hill's vote being perhaps
ir..g i1 excess q either. The fact is, this
.r.r was not regarded as any decisive
t.r'..t. either 0f the strength of parties or
Guruemocratic candidates. ltwasGTeyo-
lrl brought about by the attempt OF
~. Arthur .o foist Mr.. Folger his Secre-

candidate upon the people OF New ork.
Ter resentment was manifested by a
rfnriy unprecedented IN party annals.
I.s., shown hy the fact that Mr.. Cleve-
Llf When nominated for the presidency
