JOHN KELLY ON "THE BoLT.u
He Considers 1t a Movement OF No Inn
p0rtancc-The Usual sorehesd Cry
Tammany Unaffected by II.
Mr.. John Kelly was in the best or spirits yester-
day. He got around to his ONCE in Nassau street
at about one O'Clock. The usual number OF poll.
ticians were in attendance, waiting to confer with
the "Sacnem." When the HERALD reporter called
upon Mr.. Kelly that gentleman appeared at first
disnclined 20 talk upon the situation, but grad
ually opened up his inner thoughts and gave way
TO his natural inclination to say what he fet.
WHAT john KELLY THINKS OF THE BOLT.
1.-THE main point OF interest now to all interested
in the politics OF the city is the present bolt from
the regular Tammany nominations,n said the re-
porter. "What do you think about 1t, Mr.. Kelly P'
'Well," said John Kelly, "a have, or course, had
my interest reused on the subject, but can see
nothing in the new movement which can be looked
upon as at all serious to the party don't care
10 go into any personalities on the subject, but
don't see where the men who arc making the
opposition to the regular democratic nominations
| expect TO get their strength. All sensible men
must perceive that the movement is simply one OF
dissatisfied soreheads who couldn't get ofce for
themselves and are therefore determined that no
one else snail get any. Tammany had very
limited number Of offices In her gilt, and we made
the very best selection that could be made under
the circumstances We could not possibly nomi-
nate everybody who wanted to be nominated and
] have never seen canvass yet In which some
body was not disappointed. The present move
meut Is the usual thing which always happens;
but am quite tranquil as to any Importance 1t
may assume. 1t is got up by outsiders anyhow,
and not one OF the men who participated in the
Convention OF last Saturday have given it their
countenance, nor will they. The disadected speak
OF mr. Loew. This gentleman told me on no &C
count would he participate IN any such movement,
and whatever battles he mad to fight would be
fought inside Tammany Hall and not outside oft.
As to the talk that had been made about CON-
bination ticket Of republicans and democrats it
would rather help Tammany Hall than otherwise,
and I have not the slightest fear OF any such
ticket as that. But do not see why or how any
such combination could be formed.
KELLY ON oTTENDORFER.
$50 far as Mr.. Ottendorfer Ia concerned,n con-
tlnued Mr.. Kelly, "he Is too uncertain and wholly
unreliable a man to make his possession by any
party a thing to be desired. He can never be
trusted-of course speak In a political sense

MI. Kelly went on TO speak Of the importan

party. He said this was certain, because all were

wOc.d ultimately lead TO the triumph OF democ-
