All Eyes ON the Democracy.
NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-The doings of tbs
Democratic State ConventiOnare the leading
topic Of conversation throughout the city.
The reform party are greatlydissatistied at the
action of the convention refusing them
recognition. 1t is probable that bolt will
be effected by the party of the city, and in
conjunction with the anti-Tammany organ
cation, ticket be put up on the question OF
municipal reform. Much depends upon
what the convention may do to-day. The
platform is acceptable to Democracy here.
The reformers are said to be much pleased
with it. 1t is thought the case of the re-
formers is badly managed.
A Rochester dispatch received late last
night, says that al caucus last night the
reform delegation decided to issue an ad-
dress, but Oh consultation with Tilden, con-
cluded to await DEVELOPMENTS to-day.
The Times says the Convention has rung
the death knell of the Democratic party in
this State. The promises of its leaders
amounted to nothing. The genuine indig-
nation of the masses against the corruption
lists has been trifiled with. The party which a
week ago seemed determined to purge itself
of the bad men who had hOpelesSly polluted
and disgraced it, is made to appear mass
of hypocrites.
The World thinks the Convention did its
work well, and says the rival delegation was
sent to Rochester only as means of ex-
Guiding the Tammany delegates. 1t was
the settled determination of the Democracy
of the State that Tammany should be shut
out even at the risk of disrupting and de-
feating the party, but the reason for its pres
ence ceased when the Tsmmany delegates
relinquished their claims.
The Public Works stopped.
A communication was sent to the Depart
ment of Public Works by the Deputy Comp
trolle, informing them that there was a
balance Of S24, 291.6T only, due the Depart
ment, that beyond that amount the Finance
Department had no funds, and no power to
raise funds, and advising that men employ
ed on public works be apprised Of that fact.
