ACCEPT GOV. TILDEN's CHOICE.
Many prominent Tammany delegates and
politicians departed for Saratoga on the o'clock train
yesterday morning. Tho AntLTammany organization
was poorly represented that more than two or three
members present, they were lost in the multitude
going to support John Kelly. The Tammany delegates
excused their hearty determination with these lone dele
gates OF Irving Hail. the ground that they were good
fellows" suggesting at the time the inference that
some OF the political school were not The pohu
clans numbered 10 TO- including Augustus Schel Ed
ward Cooper, Col. Decourcy, owen Murphy Thos
oCallaghan, Henry A. Gumbleton, Robert Cushing

ing hours In preparing for the Journey and there was
some hurryng the last especially after the train had
started aud several politicians well fat'ened nj the
public crib, were compelled to run lively zee down tho
platform TO get aboard
Abram T. Hewitt's yesterday was given more
prominence the conversation than in that OF the dele
gates who departed Monday But the feeling not
wholly favorable TO him. Some OF the delegates how
ever spoke highly OF Mr. Hewitrs recent services 20 the
party and his excellent Congressional reco%, ana
thought that he would be nominated rs the signs we're
pointing 10 him as Gov Tilden's candidate which was
equivalent nomination. 1t was suggested that Hew-
IL, and Dorshcimer would make perhaps not the
strongest ticket which might be put In the field but tho
strongest likely To gain the favor OF Gov Tllden The
Tammany did not appear eager yesterday for
the nomination OF ChefJustce Church. They seemed
to think the position Of indifference which he had
taken In the canvass for the nomination made his
chances small and they transferred their preference to
Carkson ~ Potter. IL asserted that ammany HAL
would vote for Mr Hewitt II he developed considerable
strength but with ChefJustIce Church out of the ques
ton Mr. Potter would be their first choice The Tanmany
delegates asserted that they going entirely un-
pledged and that each delegate would vote lndepend-
entity az his Judgment dictated. They were confident
that they would have Anti-Tammany at disadvantage
II there should be quarrel for places In the convention
nut they anticipated friendly settlement

that the nominee for would be agreed upon In
caucus during the night whatever action the leaders
thought expedient would be voted for without serious
opposition MIR. Dorsheimer's nomination was consd-
cred impossible but 10 was conceded that II his name
should not be pressed the first place on the ticket ne
would be accorded the place with universal good
feeling From tho conversation OF the politicians pres
emf II WAS plain that opinion there were only Two
candidates named who had chance for the nomnaton'
Mr. Hewitt and Mr. Potter. But the bearing OF the dele
