upon Mr.. Dorshemer had aroused all the opposition
that was seen here when his name first preached
some weeks ago. This came not only from the OPP
ponents of Gov. Tilden who did not want a man 80
closely identified with the Governor but from faith
ful Tiden men who regarded Mr.. DOTsheimer az o
weak candidate. One delegate said that If Mr..
Dorshemer should be nominated he would not be
willing to wager dime on the prospect OF carry
ing this State for Mr.. Tilden. Many delegates
whose loyalty to Tlden cannot be questioned for q
moment, spoke much in the same way, emitting
the money calculation. They were ready to take up
with almost any candidate rather than Mr.. DORIS
heimer. In this condition of things the person who
seemed TO be assuming most prominence as the can
didate of the opposition, was no other than Manton
Marble late editor of The UOrld His friends seem
still hopeful of his success in case an attempt ~
made to force Mr. Dorsheimers nomination
on the convention, and expect to see the contest
made between these two. Ant-Tllden men, know
ing that the convention stood two for Tilden to one
against felt that the only way for them TO succeed
was to nominate a candidate to whom Gov. Tildens
friends could not object, aud who could divide the
Tilden vote. For time it looked az if this might
be done with Mr.. Marble. Numbers of delegates
throughout the State openly said that as between
Mr.. Dorsheimer and Mr.. Marble they should GER
tainly vote for Mr.. Marble. II was SAID also,
that portion of the New-York delegation
would undoubtedly take the same course
Members of the Kings County delegation declared
that they could give Marble majority of that dele
CATION, notwithstanding the claim of Dorsheimers
friends that he has the whole vote. Messrs. Kelly
and OD0nohue of the NewYork delegation are IN
dcrstood to favor Mr.. Marbles candidacy His

10 ,r.t, yota far arh1a
course of The World in 1863, however is one which
the average Democrat will never forget and never
forgive, and Mr.. Marbles prospects are thought to
be totally nulifed by this alone. During the day
il became evident that Gov. Tden's representatives
had come here apparently not TO force Mr.. Dors-
heimer the convention but to test its temper and
sec if the experiment of his nomination could he
safely attempted. So much opposition has been de
yeloped that il is thought different policy may be
adopted.
In the proposed change Of policy comes the second
surprising transformation Of the day. This has been
the revival of ex-Gov. Seymour's name tonight in
spite of his repeated and sincere declarations and
the evidently widespreadng desire to nominate him
either with or without his consent The movement
has by this time taken definite shape. An embassy
of distinguished Democrats from other states will
leave for Utica tomorrow morning on the train
suade him to serve The fact that he is
out Of health leads many Of his friends
there to believe that he will positively decline but
the representation of the difficulties OF the situation
may induce him TO consent If he does consent,
there cannot be the slightest doubt Of his nomna-
ton with such cheer as only Iloratio Seymour can
get from Democratic convention Even II he de-
clines there are many who wapt the convention To
nominate him and then run away. In case he does
consent il is believed that Lieut.-Goy. Dorshemer
will himself present Gov. seymour's name, and re-
ceiye the second place No one Of course would
think for moment of contesting nomination with
Seymour.
If ex-Gov. Seymour is not nominated, the signs
would seem 10 favor the nomination Of Mr.. Dors-
beimcr. though Mr.. Robinson's friends working
hard. and he is thought by some likely to be the
"dark horse" While all the candidates in the field
are opposed TO Mr.. Dorsheimer the opposition is en-
tirely without concentration, and the delay that
must ensue before any decision can be obtained from
ov,Seymour will prevent any fusion until that
time. Judge Hubbard Of Buffalo will present Mr.
Dorsbeimer's name Controller Robinson's friends
have been actively at work but do not seem 10 have
more than about 90 votes. These are tho votes OF
Broome. Cayuga, Chenango, Chcmung, Cortlandt,
Seneca Steubcn, Tioga, Tompkins, Onon-
