THE SECRET OF TAMMANY HALLS OPPOSITION
TO T1LDEN-A PROMINENT DEMOCRAT ON THE
sTrUATIoN-A DILEMMA THE GOVERNOR MAY
BE FORCED ISTo-THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
STATESMAN AND A LOCAL POLITICIAN.
The article in the New York Express taking ground
gainst Governor Tiden the democratic candidate
or the Presidency, has caused good deal OF talk here
.mong democrats. Some Western and southern demo-
rats are dismayed at the thought of y split in the
arty in New York Others hold that the demo-
ratio party would do well TO get rid OF
iammany Hall, which, they say, has odious
lame throughout the country and will be heavy load

expressed here what reply, II any, Governor
ridens friends viii make to the Kelly organs attack
md whether the ingrstitudc with which Mr.. Kelly
treats the Governor after being let into the Utica Con-
,cntion, will be condoned. There is disposition 10

The article in tho Express in opposition Governor
ricen regard expression merely Of the opinions
John Kelly and Augustus schelL Kelly has been for
long time hostile 10 the Governor, because he has
1and HIM very pabc in Promoting the plans Of
Kelly for keeping IN his personal control the political
Iower OF the democratic party In the city OF New York
The difference between the TWO men Is that Tden
atesman looking not merely to the future of his party
hut TO the welfare OF the country while Kcllys range
u vision is limited TO the local machinery OF 1ammany
Hall The breach between them began months ago and
has been growing wider Kelly discovered that he
could not subordinate the power OF the State the
execution OF his personal plans for the consolidation
81 his individual control OF the party in the city.
Kelly is undoubtedly honest and very efficient in the
narrow range in which he is by nature lifted to move
One dnicuy with Kelly Is that hs has entirely den
hed the party In New YORK with his own personality
that he cannot separate tho two, and believes that he
Is indispensable to the establishment of honest and
efficient city government He lives very much In his
vwn thoughts and tails to comprehend the drift OF pub
lie OPINION Hence he dccs the press and takes to tho
Express as his organ hence too, he fails see that
Me democracy OF the interior Of the State tired
Of his absolute rule in the city that nothing but the
power OF the Governor and his friends saved him from
The humiliation of being compelled TO choose between
avided delegation at Utica and taking Tammany away
with him out Of the Convention.
As the matter stands looks n the Governor
and his friends will either have give up the long
continued effort to make Tammany Hall respectable or
Rise make upon Kelly in his own stronghold Il Is
luite certain that the solid character OF the democratic
party IN the city OF New York Is with the Governor
Ind when that Is separated from its association
with Tammany Hall the latter viii be very weak while
The former VIII secure accession OF strength IRON
the independent voters which would fully compensate
for the mere following which Tammany Hall owes TO
Its present control Of municipal patronage.
There Is one other why such veteran New
York politicians Schell take kindly TO Gov
amor rilden. He knows them and New York politics
10 thoroughly that il would be quite Impossible that
The patronage OF the next administration should fall
into their hands Hence they naturally prefer cand
date from any other State than New York But their
prestige persisted with the old democratic party which
vas destroyed by the rebellion. and with which the
bew party and the coming men have nothing In CON-
mon but the name.
The gentleman who thus gave his opinion does not
icsire at this time to have his known but he
pngs to the most influential and the best class OF
democrats TO be found In Washington and as before
nd, he is familiar with New York politics His opin-
Ions are likely to have great weight in the democratic
councils here and while he speaks with conspicuous
respect OF John Kelly and freely acknowledges his
honesty and the sincerity of his purposes he evidently
ICES no, incline TO think that the party should submit
70 Mr. Kelys dctaton. There pretty general dis
position here among democrats OF tho South and West
10 regard the alliance with Tammany Hall OF dubi-
Gus advantage. They do not precisely know what its
power may be- and, while many dread the effect OF
break in New York. they regard tho of Tammany
Hall and It's character and associations as likely TO
weaken the party in other States In tho
CHARACTER OF THE REPORT REGARDING THE
PUBLIC PRINTER.
The report OF the committee investigating the public
PRINTER, which read this afternoon in the House. is
sne Of the most damaging documents which has been
produced this session IL shows the grossest msman.
lgement waste and carelessness all tho departments
Of the printing oce, and shows that very great sum
fmoncy has been spent for which ought to have
sost much less and in ways which look In some
Nthe details very much like reckless jobbing
