HORATIO SEYMOUR ELECTOR AT LARGE
Mr.. RObinsOn's Record as a
Democrat by Himself.

Tilden interests any opposition candidate, and the
breakfast hour to-day found everything as unsettled
and uncertain as whom the night watchers retired to
rest At late hour last night little breeze ruiiled
the tempers OF some New York politicians in the
Union barroom, springng up. snguarly enough,
from a conversation in regard to Boss Twced's re-
ported return. New Yorker expressed tho opinion
that tho revisit OF Tweed to New York might be at
tended by unpleasant consequences TO some OF his old
friends, which Eugene Durnin controverted, declaring
that he would stand by the Boss through thick and
hn and should be glad him out OF his troubles.
'.But suppose he should put you in tho breach?"
was the inquiry
swell, I'd stand there" was the reply Of the sturdy
Eugene.
"But challenge the strictest scrutiny into pub
lie record and defy investigation and disregard
inuendo. don't think you can say as much" Tho
breeze seemed about to freshcn to gale when the
lights Of the barroom suddenly turned out
KELLy's lNsoLEYcE ITS EFFECT
One incident occurred last night which created
great deal Of feeling against Mr.. Kelly. large rcp-
resentation OF delegates and outsiders, representing
some Of the prominent democratic newspapers of the
State held consultation Tor the purpose Of consider
ing the expedency of the nominations foreshadowed
by the outside talk. Among those present Joseph
Warren, OF Buffalo, Mr. Purcell Of Rochester, the edit
prs OF the Syracuse and Utica democratic papers, Mr.
Allen c. Beach, General James B. Craig, of Brooklyn;
Mr.. Fowler, Hugh Mclaughlin Mr.. A p Laning, OF
Ere and several other democrats Of largo influence In
The party. They concluded that the nomination Of
Mr.. Potter was exceedingly Objectionable for certain
reasons and not favorable to the nomination OF
Mr.. Robinson provided moro representative demo-
erat of equally unoxceptionabe character could be
agreed upon Alter comparison Of views with dele
gates from various parts Of the State, they came TO
the conclusion that the presentation OF tho name OF
Manton Marble would the dncultios surround
ing tho nomination, provided that Mr. Marble could DO
presented by tho unanimous New York vote Tho
anti-Tammany delegates were found to be willing to
90 into the movement it was con-
sidercd advisable to do SO. and thereupon
invitation sent to Mr.. Kelley
70 meet tho gentlemen who formed the conference.
He accepted the invitation attended at the room whcro
the conference met and listened for time to tho state
OF their made to himself by OF tho
party. In the midst of 1t, however, as ho
informed that the gentlemen present had concluded
that Mr. Potter unavailable candidate Kelly in
tcrrupted the speaker told him In abrupt ana m
sulung manner that he bad made up his mind to sup
port Mr. Potter, that Tammsny would vote for him
whatever anybody might think about it and that he
did not want hoar any He then lett the room.
The incident proved Mr.. Kelley's indiscretion,
Tor 1t caused Kings county, previously will,

favor 1t also had tho effect OF taking Eric county
over Mr.. 1ilden's side Between Tiden's inermed-
ding and John Kellys insolcnt dictation the Kings
and Erie chose tho former The rammany and anti
Tamtnany men held conference early this morning,
aud at ono it appeared likely that the New YORK
delegation would be unit Tor Potter. That gentle
man having been waiteu on by tho anti-Tammany
committee, made an explanation of his connection
with Judge barnard and the Atlantic and Great West
receivcrship, which was satisfactory to the com.
mttee but the anti-rxmnany delegates at full
meeting determined not support KelIy's candidate
and agreed to their first vote for Schoonmaker OF
GOVERNOR TILDzN's DESIRES.
Before the Convention met 1t became known that
Governor Tilden desired the nomination OF Lucius Rob-
inson and through kellys action, II seemed certain
that Potter would be beaten and that Robinson would
be the nominee.
Early IN the morning the report industriously
circulated that Mr. Dorsheimcr had with the aovicc OF
Governor Tildcn, determined TO withdraw from tho
ticket, provided Mr Robinson should receive tho non
nation and this was looked upon as materially ncreas
solo objection that could be urged against Mr.. Robin

before its burial, but the soul being gone
from Its eyes AS It sa. in gloomy snencs G.,

never have the Lord on our side
The Joke was poor one, and everybody was too de-
