SARATOGA, Aug. 29.-The Democrat
ic Convention assembled at noon to-
day. The delegates are generally here
The interest in the prospective proceed
ings is apparently slight. This is at
tributable, in great measure. to the
Democratic dissatisfaction with Tilden's
course in the Presidential campaign.
These expressions are frequent and out
spoken and undisguised. many declar-
ing that Tilden has about destroyed the
party by his self-seeking ambition. At
this hour everything is at sea regarding
the gubernatorial nomination. Hewett
is out Of the race because he was found
to be ineligible by reason of his brief
residence in the State. he being recently
from New Jersey. Clarkson and Pat
terson have but little open backing.
Dorsheimer. relying on Tilden's repeated
promises. is confident, but the outside
feeling is that his name would be fatal
ly weak. The strong inclination is to
nominate Seymour regardless of his
| declinstion, aud Is restrained only by
the reflection that if he should persist
in his refusal to run, the filing Of the
vacancy would fall on the Central Com.
mittee. which the delegates dislike to
trust with that authority. The under
current conviction is. that Tilden holds
the balance Of power in convention and
has selected his candidate, but will
name him to his workers only, rs bal
loting is about to begin, in order to
prevent combinations against him
which are threatened. as q means OF
generally rejecting on the Governor 8
course. The Tammauy difficulty hay
ing been compromised. there is little
room for public disharmony in the Con
vcntion, but there is certainly large
number who will jump at any oppor-
tuniiy, short of boiling. to notify the
Governor Of their resentment. Msnton
Mable' friends profess much confiden ce,
but unless he shall prove to DC Tilden'
choice. his run before the Convention
promises 10 be far short of his merits.
