Tho city Of Troy, which has long aspired to
the dignity Of furnishing the State OF New YORK
with q Governor. 10 lik ely TO have such expecta-
tions realized this year in the most substantial
manner possible by tho election OF Frank s.
Black. Considerable rivalry of an unneiRh-
borly character has existed for many years be-
tween the adjacent cities OF Albany and Troy,
the former securing by far the larger share OF
the political honors bestowed by the two
parties, and the social and material benefits ac-
compsnyirg. In 1868 the Republicans nom-
mated John A. Griswold, one of the Lest-known
Troy manufacturers. for Governor. and he wa
defeated. not by the choice of the voters. as his
friends said, but by electoral frauds of which
he was the victim. In 1875 the Troy Repub-
licans presented the name of Martin /. Town
send of that town As the nominee Of the Sara
;oga Convention, but his claims were disre-
garded In favor of former Governor Morgan. In
1883 the Troy Republicans had n candidate In
Joseph b. Carr. Instead of giving him Its NOM
ination for the higher office Of Governor. The
Convention nominated him for Lieutenant.
Governor. q place which he very nearly secured,
the plurality against him being 3,l5e only. in q
total Of more than one million votes. This year
at last, tho Republicans OF Troy have secured
the nomination of q resident of their town fol
tho Governorship, and they have reason to fee
confident of his election.
