History

In 1892, there was only one officer to be elected statewide: the Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of William C. Ruger in January 1892. Robert Earl had been appointed temporarily to fill the vacancy until the end of the year.

The Republican State Committee met on October 11 at the Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York City. William Brookfield presided. The committee nominated Charles Andrews, the senior associate judge of the Court of Appeals (in office since 1870, Chief Judge by appointment 1881-82) for Chief Judge on the first ballot (vote: Andrews 26, Albert Haight 3). [1]

The Democratic State Committee met on October 12 at the Hoffman House in New York City. Edward Murphy Jr. presided. The Democrats endorsed the Republican nominee Charles Andrews unanimously. [2]
