seems TO be conceded that the convention made
mistakei and in this connection may say that the

that mistake OF the head aud not OF the heart IL
may be that there were men In the convention VINO were
actuatcd by some sinister motives, but L am
satisfied that the convention whole was
prompted by pure and honest impulses. The
delegates loved and honored exGov. Seymour

VIEWS OF BERNARD REILLY.
Bernard Reilly gave to reporter OF IHE
TRIBUNE last evening. al Tammany Hail. his opinions In
regard to the coming Democratic Convention and tho
probable results. He said that although he was not
member Of the recent convention at Saratoga he under
stood the views OF the greater portion OF the delegates,
and he had no doubt but that had SeymouIs candidacy
been understood TO be out Of the question, Clark
son N. Potter would have been the nominee
chosen. This would not have taken place on the
first ballot, as Robinson wOuld have divided With
him the votes given Dorshemer. aud on the second
ballot Robnsons friends seeing his case hopeless would
have united with Mr. Po;ters supporters and given him
majority. 1t would have been impossible to have nom
mated Mr. DOrshemer in that convention under any ci
cumstanccs The sentiment strongly felt and OK
pressed that TO lead the ticket there must be genuine,
oil Fashioned Democrat who had not been affiliated with
any other party that some new man would have been
proposed and nominated II Mr. D1rsheimer's sue
cess had appeared probable; but there was no
objection to his occupying the second place on
the ticket. Every Democrat would be satisfied
with Mr.. Dorsheimer ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The situation, Ir Reilly said would not be materially
changed the coming convention. Almost wthoute ex-
cepton the delegate would be returned and at all
events they would represent the same opinions THUS
the ease stands ut present." Mr.. Reilly said Church
aud Robinson are out OF the tquestlon, and bave no
chances Dorshcmer already has been nominated for
tho proper position so that the convention

and all other wings OF the party and make as strong
