ports that the information received
from the great West is entirely sat

under which the Democracy OF New
York are laboring, under the leader
ship Of Tilden. who has succeeded
in fostering two renegades upon the
gubernatorial ticket, is being sorely
felt throughout tho State. The
! greatest dissatisfaction prevails in
regard to the State ticket, and very
bitter feeling is engendered against
MIR. Tilden for debating their nomi-
nations. So great is tho feeling that
many prominent Dem ocrats are in
open hostility to that portion of the
Sta to ticket, and the consequence is
the party is pretty generally demor
allied and their chances Of success
arc greatly diminished. Tilden is a
great demagogue aud rules the par

tempting TO run it in his own inter>
tcrest he has committed o fatal error
which will cost him the State in No

nipulating the State conventions,
together with the facts that have late

revenue taxes and other important
matters. has driven him from large
support that would otherwise have
been given him, and to-day ho is
more unpopular with his party in his
own State than in any other State in
the Union. New York may be safo-

whose bitter foe they aro." "Stern
and swift account means bullet and

have reason to know. Tho Bain-

the Republican party, and says, III
