and it was only on the urgent and persistent demand
OF the Tiden men themselves that John Kelly could
get 50 much as half hearing. They showed equal
discretion in distributing the places of honor. They
gave the temporary chairmanshp to Kentucky, and
the permanent chairmauship to Illinois, and the
charmanship of the Committee on Platform to Nlr-
ginia the other places being distributed In the same
judicious way, New-York taking nothing. Under
the twO-thirds rule there necessarily fewer dis
| appointed and dshcartened people than where a
bare majority secures the prizes; but tue general
satisfaction and delight which prevailed last night
was due not only TO this fact but the care with
which Gov. Tildens friends had avoided personal
fight against any other candidate. The only men
who had much occasion to feel sore were the friends
of Gov. Hendricks, who are now, however, more
than reconciled, though the nomination which
| reconced them has dampcned the enthusiasm OF
many others.

the Iildcn and anti-Tden factions over the South
