Republican incumbent Alonzo B. Cornell ran for re-election to a second term in office, but was defeated for the Republican nomination by Charles J. Folger, the Secretary of the Treasury under President Chester A. Arthur. Folger's nomination was a victory for President Arthur and the Stalwart faction of the state party, but he was badly defeated in the general election by the mayor of Buffalo, Grover Cleveland. Republican nomination Candidates Alonzo B. Cornell, incumbent Governor since 1880 Charles J. Folger, United States Secretary of the Treasury John C. Robinson, former president of the Grand Army of the Republic and Lieutenant Governor John H. Starin, former U.S. Representative from Fultonville James Wolcott Wadsworth, U.S. Representative from Geneseo Convention The Republican state convention met on September 20 at Saratoga Springs. The Half-Breed faction led by Governor Alonzo B. Cornell opposed the Stalwart faction led by former U.S. Senators Roscoe Conkling and Thomas C. Platt, in league with railroad magnate Jay Gould. The State Committee met at 9 o'clock at Congress Hall and elected Edward M. Madden, a Half-Breed, to be temporary chairman of the convention (vote Madden (St.) 18, Edmund L. Pitts (H.-B.) 14). The convention opened at half past 10 at Town Hall. The roll was called by John W. Vrooman, the Clerk of the New York State Senate. When Madden was proposed for temporary chairman, the Half-Breeds objected and proposed Pitts, and a vote was taken. Madden received 251, Pitts 243, showing an almost evenly divided convention with a slight Stalwart majority. U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Charles J. Folger (St.) was nominated for governor on the second ballot (first ballot: Folger 223, Cornell [incumbent] 180, James W. Wadsworth 69, John H. Starin 19, John C.
