NEW YORK CITY.
Comments on the Syracuse Conven-
tion--The Tribune Supports the
Ticket.
New YORK, Sept, go.

Ticket.
NEW YORK, Sept 20.
The doings of the Syracuse Convention
have been the subject of general discus
sion throughout the city, among the poll
ticians Of both parties. A detection in
the Greeley wing is expected, though
there is prevailing opinion, among the
Democrats especially, that the bolt will
not materially hurt the ticket. 1t is fur
thermore expected that the boilers will
back down quietly, and abide the issue
The conduct of the Greeley delegation
was marked with timidity, and Conse-
qnently it was expected that the Tribune
would come out to-day for the Convention
nominees. That journal this morning
announces its acceptance of the ticket,
and 1t pledges its support and that Of a
solid three.iourths Of the entire Republi-
can vote of this city, whose delegates
were insultingly driven from the Conven-
ton. "We accept" il says, "the miracle
of clumsiness called platform, and bow
to the monstrous State Committee. Come
what may, we must carry New York for
honest government against thieves" II
prints briet platform which 1t declares
had been agreed upon when the New
York delegation expected to have share
in its preparation, and which contains
for its basis the record Ol the Republican
party in the past, and an endorsement OF
the administration, though II makes no
mention of President Grant. Ono Of the
principal features of both platforms is the
denunciation Of TammRny corruption,
though ut the Convention each faction
accused the other of being affected with
Tammany talnt. ....
Tho Times, while expressing satlsIac-
ton with the work done as q whole,
thinks 1t has substantially disappointed
the expectations which were entertained
concerning division, and means the over.
throw of Tammany. n
