SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug. 30.-The
democratic convention is now assem-
bling. The delegates ARE generally
here, but the interest in the prospcc-
tive proceedings is apparently slight.
This is attributable in great mea-
sure TO democratic dissatisfaction with
Tilden's course in the presidential
campaign. The expressions Of this are
frequent, outspokcn and undisguised,
many declaring that I',lden has about
destroyed the party by his self.seeking
ambition. A. this hour everything is
at sea regarding the gubernatorial
nominations. Hewitt is found inel.
gible by reason of too brief resi-
dence in the state since his removal
from New Jersey Glarkson N, Pot
ter seems to have little open back
ing, Dorsheimer retiring ON Tildcn
reputed promises, aud is confident,
but tie outside feeling is that his
nomination would be fatally weak.
The strong pressure ts nominate Scy-
mour regardless of his declaration, is
restrained only by the reflection that
if he should persist III his refusal to
run, the filing OF the vacancy would
fall to the state committee, with the
delegates dislike TO trust with that
authority. The under current of con-
viction is that Tilden holds the balance
of power III the convention and has
selected his candidate, but will name
him to his workers only AS ballotting
rs shout 70 begin, in order to pre- vent
the combinations against him, which
are threatened as means of quietly
rebuking the governors course. The
Fammanv difficulty having been com.
promised, there is little room for pub
sslic disharmony in the convention, but
there is certainly large number who
will jump At any opportunity, short
of bolting, to notify the governor q
their resentment. Manton Marbles
frieneas profess much confidence, but
unless he shall prove to be T1lden's
promises to be far short of his merits.
