sApAroaA Aug. 31.-The Democratic
ss,es are wonderfully clear and serene today

neat was laying In the Convention, the Repub-
ho.ns who aat at the reporters table and crowd
cd the galleries and lobbies OF the Convention
and the corridors Of the great hotels were not
,,nly iubilant, but TO the last degree jolly. They
thought everything was going on finely for the
HAYES party, and their countenanoes were
Dsreathed in smiles. AT the moment OF this
present writing the faces OF these really good
hearted fellows are as long az your arm. The
might gave time for sober reflection and sage

nor Governor. Mr.. Dorsheimer himself was one
NJ the frat to suggest this view OF the situation.
Ind under the circumstances thought that all
possible pressure should be brought on Gov.
seymour to induce him to accept the nomna-
hon. lie helped all that he could In that direc-
Non. During the night John Kelly was told by
some of his advisers that he had got to retract
his assaults upon those Liberals who now sup
port Tilden. and cordially consent TO tho MONT
nation OF Dorsheimer for Lieutenant Governor
mr. he would lose all influence with the party,
and especally the little he had left among the
rural Democracy. Kelly knows how TO turn n
porner very quickly. II not very gracefully. So,
ufter mature r, Election. he made up his mind
not only to eat his crow-or, might say, his two
or three crows-but even broil them In the pres

treatment to coerce Gov. Seymour to accept the
nomination. which he really did not desire to

The Convention was rather late In coming to
order, because the lnal dispatches had not got

chair, Mr.. John Kelly advanced to the platform
and broiled his first crow This was the Liberal
nrow. He really seemed to eat IL with q relish.
John never appears SO we'll as when backing out
from an untenable position. The rilden Liberals
In and about the Convention were 80 much graf

their organization provided he would hereafter

arose the nomination for Lieutenant Gov

imposition was received with loud cheers, but

Weed made very happy speech In IA

Hart of Westchester, to the surprise Of almost
Jsvery body, brought forward the name OF Clark

made clear, calm speech 10 his support. Hav-
