Outside of New York Fenton's vote was as follows:

Northern States 23 33 32 32 31 2
Southern States 44 45 42 48 61 1]

The echo of Fenton's defeat seriously disturbed the Syracuse State
convention (July 8). The Conservatives of New York City, many of whom
had now become the followers of Conkling, objected to the Fenton
method of selecting delegates, and after a bitter discussion between
Matthew Hale of Albany and Charles S. Spencer, the Governor's ardent
friend, the convention limited the number of delegates from a city
district to the Republican vote actually cast, and appointed a
committee to investigate the quarrel, with instructions to report at
the next State convention.

The selection of a candidate for governor also unsettled the
Republican mind. Friends of Lyman Tremaine, Charles H. Van Wyck,
Frederick A. Conkling (a brother of the Senator), Stewart L. Woodford,
and John A. Griswold had not neglected to put their favourites into
the field at an early day, but to all appearances Horace Greeley was
the popular man among the delegates. Although Conkling had snuffed out
his senatorial ambition, he had been the directing power of the
February convention, and was still the recognised guide-post of the
party. Besides, the withdrawal of Tremaine, Van Wyck, and Conkling
practically narrowed the rivalry to Greeley and Griswold. Indeed, it
seemed as if the ambition of the editor's life was at last to be
satisfied. Weed was in Europe, Raymond still rested "outside the
breastworks," and the Twenty-third Street organisation, as the
Conservatives were called, sat on back seats without votes and without
influence.

Greeley did not go to Syracuse. But his personal friends appeared in
force, led by Reuben E. Fenton, who controlled the State convention.
Greeley believed the Governor sincerely desired his nomination.
Perhaps he was also deceived in the strength of John A. Griswold. The
people, regarding Griswold's change from McClellan to Lincoln as a
political emancipation, had doubled his majority for Congress in 1864
and again in 1866. The poor loved him
