POLITICAL.
The declination of Seymour has demof-
allied the Democracy of the State. 1t was
a trick of Tilden to get man OF his own i
at the head of the ticket, but like good |
many of the operations of smart men IL
hasn't worked. The decent Democracy
saw through it, and they blocked Tilden,s
little game by demanding re-assembling
of the State Convention, and deal from a
fresh pack which had not been so carefully
stocked. Who the coming man is no one
can tell, but he will not be mere tool OF
Tilden's. That is, he will be supposed to
be free from the Tilden influence. This
distrust of their Presidential nominee seems
curious to people outside but itl Wen
understood in New York where he is well
known, No one has confidence in him.
He is known as a sly, underground, selfish,
ambitious man, who has not thought out
side of his own advancement, and man
who would sacrifice his nearest friend TO
| make a step for himself. The Democracy
| feel that lie has thrown away all hope OF
| CARRYING the State, and have virtually
/ given M the Presidential race, unless IL
can be carried by some gigantic fraud.
But they are doing desperate work. ana I
| warn the Republicans of the country that
it is not safe to sleep. The mails are our
/ dened with documents-the committee III
this city have lists Of every voter III the
country, classified democratic, IKE
| publican,'' "doubtfub" and documents
nrepared for each are being sent out by the
million. They are working with more
system and energy than ever. This SLY,
underground, silent work is Tilden's best
card.-it is the one he has always played,
and because they are holding no blg meet,
ings and making no big outcry, dom
fancy they are doing nothing. Ilidef
trusts nothing to committees lie is II
this fight to winnie is playing lot 'i'
patronage of the government, and ne
superintendiag ag it all himself. lie writes
his own pamphlets, and sees that they &c
into proper hands. To your TENTS O

II isa notable fact that the Democrac'
: of the East dare not do a thing till the
have asked Tammany. The proposltion :
nominate Charles Francis Adams Tor th
Goyernorship of Massachusetts was held
allowance till Boss Kelley of this city wa
heard from. The partner of Morrisse
thought the matter over, and many sal
he was willing and accordingly ne wa
" nominated. AS Tammany furnishes I'd
se money to carry New England states,
N well as the repeaters, the propriety O co'
"A sultipg Tammany is apparent. But tnin
