another Republican was about to be nominated
in his place, and accepted an independent NOM

He would defeat the Republican partys Sandi-

crat to Albany in his place. He betrayed the
Republican party in Albany last winter; ne now
seeks to betray it in Oneida County
1t is satisfactory to know that Frederick u
Weaver the Republican who was nominated fCr
Senator to-day has the support now of at least 80
per cent of the Republican voters OF oneida
County. and before Election Day he will certainly
have the votes OF nearly every Republican In the
district Weaver received the votes Of sixty-three
delegates out OF nnety-fve in the convention.
This Of itself is evidence Of the character OF MS
support and that he was the choice for Senator
of a majority Of the Republicans in the county,
whereas II Is known that a large proportion OF
the Coggeshall delegates, coming from the cities
of Utica and Rome, were elected by the aid OF
Democrats The managers of the Democratic
party sent hundreds OF Democrats to the Re-
publican caucuses In those cities. Their aim or
course was to encourage Coggeshall and excite

cratic support at the caucuses. Coggesnal does
not actually have that Republican support wnch
ne apparently holds. The Democratic leaders,
having pushed Coggesha in.o the field as an
independent Republican candidate, are saying TO-
night that they intend to nominate James n.
Flanagan, former Canal Division Superintend-
ent. and seek to run him in between Weaver and
Coggeshall

he believed that, after a ballot had shown mat
Weaver was the choice OF the convention cog
geshall would move that his rivars nornina-
ton be made unanimous. When the convention
met and Coggesha seen to be occupying a
seat at the back OF the hall. most people thought
that Sherman was correct in his surmise
The convention at first ran with great smooth
ross The Weaver men were so confident OF VIC
tory that they had placed the names OF several
Coggeshall delegates from Rome on the roll
where seats were contested. This was done TO

said was "the friend Of every Republican, as

Then the trouble began. John P. Jones. OF
