seen exchanging congratulations, and discussing the
topic OF the hour, while those who were client
appeared 10 have settled down into eomfOr
able and coutonted state Of mlnd. A New.York po'i
tieIan was OF the opinion that moro important poin
"a affecting general interests Of tho party than t'e
uomr .tiou OF Robin, th. suhstIdiion OF Horeo
Seymour for John Kelly upon the electoral ticket
There we're few who thought that Robinson could
not fail unacceptable 20 the entire party, and that IN

TIURL0w WEEDS OPINION
Thuriow Weed at his homo FOurteenthst last even
ing spoko yecy earnestly to TRIBUNE reporter Of the
pitical s,atns Of tie parties affected by Mr. Robin
sons nomination. He said Ia substance: "Ihave never
known Mr.. Robinson personally, and have very little
knowledge his private character But politically he
hos always DO IA yacilating and weak; adnertng 20
whichever Of thu parties kcls 10 furnish him VIII
an office. No be strong Democratic can.
dIdat., at the present time who has figured in Re

both the frat and second places arc filed

with the convention was that all the shy ugest

records, and would have called out large vote. The
only reason can conceive Tor throwing them aside
IL that Cos. T.dsu Ia Understood " be opposed
TO them, particularly 10 Potter. That may not, how
ever he She real reason, out know Of no other
gard tho nomination of Robinson the second great

can be weakened the ticket among Ia" old outand
ont straight Democrats who make up tho great bulk Of
the parry and independents very to vote for

and In go-b'twocn. SO that regard tho contest
fairly decided already unless something p.markah" h1'
pens between this time and November TO change the
relative situations Of the parties."
