AFTER THE BATTLE.

sAoAA-ASShoes
What Is Said OF tho NOmin ations-A
Fight Averted Between Kelly and Sem
ator Lord-The Morrtssey-Fox Trouble.
The contest over, New York's main body OF dele
gates left Syracuse In the eight O'Clock train on
THURSDAY night arriving in this city at eight
O'CLOCK yesterday morning. Rain poured IN tor
rents during the trip All were snugly ensconced
In sleeping cars. while the storm outside blew IN
angry and frequent gusts against the windows.
The immense railroad depot at Syracuse was
scarcely out OF sight when knots OF debating,
philosophizing politicians seated themselves in
varied and not always graceful attitudes IN the
cars. Sleep, as general thing was out OF the
question Senator Gross, William Fl. WicKnam,
Judge Kane ex-Alderman hughes, next Alderman
Thomas shiels. I. c. Campbell, prospective men,
Der OF Assembly from the eighteenth district;
Sheriff Conner, William l. Cole. member OF Assem-
bly, Thomas O'Callaghan, J. NJ. Levy, Dennis Nc
Mahon and host OF other local political lumina-
ries OF greater and lesser prominence filed the
cars.
What WAS SAID OF THE NoMIN ATOMS
1t was Of course, we'll understood for a week
before the Convention met that the New York
delegation would vote solid for Tllden This was
by no means a matter OF choice, but simply
political necessity. John Kelly had sent out the
command and his troops OF Tammany Hall must
obey or else be brought out on the steps OF the
great wlgwam and shot to political death. There
was no medium course. Now that the nomination
OF Tiden had been made, 1t was their next duty
TO support him by tongue and all other physical
effort. "Chln music" is probably the political ex-
preston when alluding TO this branch OF the Tam
many delegates duties Some who had expressed
opinions unlavorabe to Tlden before the Conven-
tion met felt some what alarmed at the prospect
of the new Boss' displeasure. 1t was a laughable
sight to see the vim with which those delegates
cast their votes for Tden in the Convention when
their names were called. The eye OF "Honest
John" was upon them, and his behests must be
carried through At all hazards. Some few who
had talked with our correspondent rwo weeks
since, and denounced Tilden IN every way, now
shouted out their preference with entoran lungs.
So much for the whip and spur OF party leader
ship.
A PHnosoPHIzINa DELEGATE.

totally ignored upon the ticKet, defeat was certain:

HUNoRs AND RUMoRs OF THE CONVENTION AN
OPEN FIGHT PREVENTED.
1t was alleged by some OF the New York deiega-
tion that serious personal alteration was % one
Kelly assg ou Of the canal Ring attack Of tho
latter. The RESOLUTION introduced ilto the Con.
venton by Lord condemnatory OF New YORK
newspaper, when first framed contained, IT Is
said, a strong and fierce denunciation OF Kelly.
Canier counsels however prevailed before the res
dent OF the Convention. and the Objectionable
paragraph was stricken out Had It been read We
would not have had 80 harmonious convention,
and general row would likely have resulted.
When Lord took his seat after delivering his In.
speech against the ex
speech. He deserves credit. 1t was just the thing
for the occasion, and threw good deal OF oil on
THAT PECULIAR WATERBURY DESPATCH.
The despatch sent by Waterbury to Warren, Sec
retary OF the State Central Committee, denuncla-
tory OF John Kelly's otcial career as Sherin, was
one Of the mysteries OF the Convention. OF course
before that eoay but the Gentleman was asap
pointed. No one, 1t was stated. outside OF the re-
ceiver. knew ANYTHING about 1t until its appear
siderable machinery TO work TO ascertain how II
could have reached the paper. Nobody could tell
anything about It. COurlers were despatched
hither and thither in search OF in!ormauon. Mr..
Kelly remarked that he was most anxious 70 ascer-
solved at least up to the time Of the departure Of
the delegates
| Senator John Fox has been stricken from the
roll OF the State Committee. This blow at the gen.
result Of John Morrissey's influence who is st
daggers' points with the honorable Senator. 1t
Fox XIV was as ' Candidate ior Sheriff and Morrissey
threw his influence for the present incumbent.
| Then came the bar-rOom Drawl at the Mason
| Doree and the Quitting" scene which cemented the
| enmity between these two men. County Clerk
| william Walsh has been appointed to the vacant
| place.
| Ex-JUpGE sHANDLEY's NARROW ESCAPE
is understood that there was butter contest est
State Committee. Elements Of opposition de-
veloped themselves Unexpectedly. Thomas Shiels
and other friends OF Shandley from the Fourth
district rolled up their sleeves and worked like
beavers In his interest. This resulted IN reten-
tlOn.
LIVELY TINES AHEAD.
The democratic canvass in this city now fairly
opens. John Kelly will reach the city on Mon
day. His promise to arrest Havemeyer and Water.
bury will PROBABLY then be carried out. The pub
cation In to.days HERALD OF the charges may,
however, hasten his return. Unul the chief
arrives on the battle field no further important
mannuVres vii be executed.
