The1882 New York gubernatorial election was held on November 7, 1882.
Republican incumbentAlonzo B. Cornell ran for re-election to a second term in office, but was defeated for the Republican nomination byCharles J. Folger, the Secretary of the Treasury under PresidentChester A. Arthur. Folger's nomination was a victory for President Arthur and theStalwart faction of the state party, but he was badly defeated in the general election by the mayor of Buffalo,Grover Cleveland.
TheRepublican state convention met on September 20 atSaratoga Springs. TheHalf-Breed faction led by GovernorAlonzo B. Cornell opposed theStalwart faction led by former U.S. SenatorsRoscoe Conkling andThomas C. Platt, in league with railroad magnateJay Gould.
The State Committee met at 9 o'clock at Congress Hall and electedEdward 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 byJohn W. Vrooman, the Clerk of theNew 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. Robinson 6; second ballot: Folger 257, Cornell 222, Wadsworth 18).[1][2][3]
TheDemocratic state convention met on September 22 at Shakespeare Hall inSyracuse, New York. TheTammany delegates were admitted again, and the rift in the Party was bridged over.[4] Grover Cleveland was nominated for Governor.
