on the evening Of the 9th, most Of our
party stopping at the Gibson House, at
which place Mr. L. L. Collins (the
Prince Of Excursionists) had made
arrangements for reduction in
board for the benefit Of his excursion
lists Mr. u. l.. Collins did all he
could to make the trip pleasant, but
we cannot forget our whole souled
townsman, +. 4. Collins, who used
every effort in his power to make the
passengers comfortable on the trip,
also in efiecting cheap rates for the
benefit Of those who wanted to go
East. Mr. Sam Collins, of jackson,
had something to do with making our
party pleasant, especially among the
ladies. The fare being so low from
Cincinnati to New York, Mr. Dick
McC., myself and S. Ii. Hale con-
Guided We would venture to New
York. Capt. H. assured ID. and my
self he would take care of lis if we
would 60 with him. To night finds
us in the great Metropolis. We left
Cincinnati on the Atlantic and Great
Western r. r., running at the rate
of 40 miles an hour through a country
unsurpassed for scenery, Hills, Noun
tains, Lakes, beautiful towns and cit
les, in fact we never lacked for any,
thing to interest US. After we struck
New York State we found politics at
fever heat, every town We passed had
large flags with Tilden and Hendricks
and reform or them. AT one place, |
believe it was Hornellsville, We stop
ped for breakfast, the excitement run
so high one man proposed to put up
$500 that Tilden would be elected,
and / think from the number OF Til
den clubs here in New York and from
what l can learn, New York will
give Tilden $4,000 majority. But !
forgot, | started out to give you a
sketch of our trip. Dick says he never
saw so many towns and hills in his
life as there are from Cincinnati to
New York. We arrived here last
night and took our quarters at the
Cosmopolitan Hotel. To day We, like
most of the people, wanted to see the
grand Central Park, so we started
early this morning for that celebrated
place. TO give your readers some
idea of the size of this great place Of
wonders and pleasure would state that
it contains S62 acres. | must confess
that l am not able to give you any
thing like a description of this parks
contents, Lakes for boat riding, Caves,
Tunnels, arched with marble, beauti-
full walks and drives, all kinds of
birds and animals from almost every
part of the Globe, in fact any one
could stay there for a month and be
interested all the time. This evening
we took little trip out to the Forts,
passed Staten Island, Brooklyn, Fort
Hamilton, Fort Dimona, the strong
est Fort in the L. s., Fort Lafay-
cite, a place where some of our boys
stayed at few years ago. We stopped
at Conveys Island, about 20 miles from
New York, on the ocean, a place
where thousands go to bathe. Per-
haps | have already worried you and
will stop. S. H. Hale has gone to
hear Beecher to>night. We start for
the Centennial tomorrow. L. S.
New YORK, Sept. II.
TILDEN, ROBINSON AND SEYMOUR.
The three names that head the
branches Of the New York Democrat
ic tickets are in themselves enough to
guarantee success. The ticket is har-
monious, complete, magnificent. For
the purposes Of the present canvass it
could not be equaled. Next to Til
den, Robinson is the embodiment of
the recent movement for Administra-
tive Reform in New York. Horatio
Seymour needs no eulogy. The mill
lions of Democratic voters of the
United States would receive his name
with the same joyous shout that greet
ed his nomination at the first Saratoga
Convention. There are facts about
the suppression of the gigantic frauds
here not generally known. One of
them is that in the beginning and
throughout the whole course OF the
war against Tweed, there were four
men in constant and anxious consul-
tation-Samual j. Tilden, HoratiO
Seymour, Francis Herman and Lucius
Robinson. Mr.. Tilden, who bore the
heavy weight of the fight in New
York City, confident as he was of the
power of PROSTATE right and weakness
of domineering fraud, was in all his
movements strengthened and consoled
by the advice and appreciation of
these great and pure men. Nothing
could be more appropriate to the great
contest for reform in the Centennial
year than the nomination of such
men as Tilden, Seymour and Robinson
to take high place in the affairs of the
Nation and State, fortified as before
by the discreet and courageous advice
of Francis Herman.
MIR. KELLEY's WITHDRAWAL.
1t was a graceful and proper act on
the part of Mr.. John Kelley to re
quest the substitution of Mr.. Sey-
mour's name for his own on the cleo
toral ticket as associated with Mr.. De-
Witt &. West, one of the best known
and staunchest of New York Demo-
