The 'sMiracle of Clumsiness'' at
Syracuse.
The Good Greeley Eats 'Umble
Pie.

The Tribune Accepts the Custom
House Ticket.
NEW YoRK, Sept 29.-The doings OF
the Syracuse Convention have bean the
subject Of general discussion throughout
the city among politicians of both parties.
The detection of the Greeley wing was
expected, though there is prevailing
| opinion among the Democrats especially,
that the bolt will not materially hurt the
ticket 1t is furthermore expected that
the boilers will back down quietly and
abide the issue. The conduct of Greeley
is marked with timidity, and consequent
ly it was expected that the Tribune would
come out to-day for the convention and
its nominees. That journal this morn
ing announces its acceptance of the
ticket, and says 1t pledges its support for
that solid, three -fourths of the entire Re
publican vote of this city, whose
delegates were insultingly driven
from the convention. We accept, it
says, the miracle of clumsiness called q
platform. We bow to the monstrous
State Committee Come what may, we
must carry New York for honest govern
ment against the thieves. 1t prints the
draft of platform which 1t declares had
been agreed on, when the New York
delegation expected to have a share in its
preparations, and which contains princi-
pally for its basis the record of the Re-
publican party in the past, and the en-
dorsement of the administration, though
1t makes no mention of President Grant.
One of the principal features of both
platforms is denunciation of the Tam
many taint
The Times while expressing satisfsc-
ton with the work of the convention as
a whole, thinks it has substantially dis
appointed the expectations which were
entertained concerning the divisirg of
means to overthrow Tammany.
Hoffman versus Tammanys
There are no developments of any i'm
portance in the municipal situation. The
sub committee appointed to solicit the
CO operation of the Governor, last night
transacted very important business, the
nature of which at present cannot be dis
closed.
Anti-Tammany Fusion.
At the conferences held yesterday by
the leaders of the Anti Tsmmsny Demo
Gratis, at which were present 8. ]. Tlden,
Vim. F. Hsvemeyer, and other prominent
Anti Tammany politicians, with view
of hsrmonizing the reform elements, a
fusion was agreed upon. Ia q few days
q committee will be announced. VIM. T.
Havemeyer will be president of the gen.
eral committee, VIM. E. Curtiss and Max
Gsepp, vice presidents.
A private meeting of the Democratic
Reform General Committee was held this
evening at its chambers. Samuel G.
Courtney and Charles O'Conner, the emf
nent juror, consented to head the Anti
Tammany delegation to the Rochester
Convention. The delegation numbers
twenty-oDe.
Threatened Demonstration of La
borefs
Tweed, Sweeney and Hall to-day re-
fused to meet with Deputy Comptroller
Green to devise means TO raise funds to
pay the park laborers, and it is probable
that all work will Be suspended. 1t is
stated On good authority this evening
that men who figured prominently in the
riots of 1853 will be at the mass meeting
of laboIers to morrow evening, and that
one Burke, who was leader in ths draft
riots, will also be present, creating trou-
bic, iif possible.
