THE DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMIT
TEE.

The local politicians considerably excited yes
terday on the eve OF the assembling Of the State Demo-
cratic Committee at Albany On Saturday last a
private meeting OF the Committee on Organization Of
Tammany Hall held at the Wgwam Mr. John
Kelly, on that OCCASION invited all his hearers and
their followers to accompany him to Albany Ho
wished TO make gallant show at the State capital on so
important an occasion In former years when Boss
Tweed Il Co. ruled the city and State the expenses
OF tho "boys" were betrayed to and from important
political gatherings Free tickets were plenty and a
large body of the unterraed followed in the wake Of
'Bg Sixn The more extensive and bosterous such
displays, the stronger and more popular ap
peared the "Boss," who manipulated the display.
Those tactics have been partially resumed by the sue
cessors of Tweed. The invitation extended by Mr.
Kelly was accepted yesterday by several OF The
city officials and other politicians who cling tenacousy
To the fortunes OF Tammany although the organization
still dris toward destruction under the same leader
ship that led It's hosts to defeat the late election
The train which lett tho Grand Central depot at ionr
O'Clock carried many OF the local Tammany statesmen.
Some OF tie Aldermen passengers Alderman
Purroy supposed TO be spokesman for Mr. Kelly among
the CITY Fathers has been vigorously at work during
the past week TO induce decent representation from
the City Hall TO make their appearance at the Delavan
House to-day lie was successful TO very limited ex-
tent Several anti-Tammany men also went up the
eleven O'Clock train They propose to argue their
rights TO fair consideration In the ranks OF the party
and will look TO the State Committee Tor a redress of
their grievances. Governor Tlldcn is said to favor
compromising but Mr. Kelly stands firmly in oppo-
democratic party at Albany to-day. however, it is
thought may induce the latter TO change his position
Politicians IN this city who study the current Of
events with careful scrutiny positively assert that Mr..
Kelly is directly opposed TO Governor Tden in his
ambitious schemes as 10 futdrc political progress.
There Is, therefore, likely TO be much wirepung at
to-day's gathering Of the State Committee The COM
mittee Will name time and locality Tor noldng
venton 10 elect delegates the Democratic Presiden
tial Convertlon. Governor Tllden and friends un
derstood to favor Albany while Mr.. Kelly advocates
Syracuse any other city. This spirit OF dscord
tween leaders has been food for good deal OF conden
nation among city officials during the past few days.
Many OF these gentlemen, both inside and outside OF
Tammany Hall, consider that the time has come for
union of all discordant elements New York city SO
that the party march victory both in city, State
and nation in November next
The Tammany Society has made arrangements for
grand centennial celebration OF Jelerson's birthday
ON the 18th OF April next Senator Bayard has been
invited TO deliver the Grafton at Tammany Hall that
occasion. Some suspicious persons have found out
that this selection of Senator Bayard is another
"uncle Sammy" in connection with his White House
aspirations. They argue that nothing could be more
appropriate than invitation to the Governor of the
great State of New York TO become the shining central
figure at the wonderful 'pow-wow'' OF Indian braves
at the Wgwam on such festival as the anniversary OF
the birthday OF the immortal Thomas Jefferson.
