In tho course OF his speech at the democratic
meeting held in the Twenty fourth ward last night
described elsewhere Mr. Kelly took occasion to
euogixe Governor Tilden q OF arairs-onc

Thn
produced on all who heard Mr.. Kclly's speech was
that whatever private feelings of dissatisfaction
might exist between the s'Boss' and the Presidential

mcdatey his address finished took private
tram the Grand Central depot and thence made his
way home in a hack without viewing tho procession,
and betook himself 10 bed.
JOHN NoRRIssErs VIEWS.
A reporter called Mr.. Morrissey and asked him
what he knew OF the reported split In the Iammany
ranks IN opposition Governor Tilden. He said that
all he knew of It he in evening paper. He is
and always was in favor of Tilden aud his efforts
bring Of the democracy in this city were
his interest. Local squabbles. ho SAID, were
OF minor importance and should not be allowed TO n
nuence the Presidential election.
only few OF the politicians had heard Of the
reported break the majority Of those laughed and
said there was nothing in II. Ono man, who seemed
to believe In It. said there many strange things
done in Tammany Hall lately and some that he could
not understand. One Of John kcllys most biter
zoos, he said, had been brought from his
farm In Connecticut and placed, at Kcy's
request, in nomination for Assembly. THIS man he
krcw TO be q warm friend OF Ex-Governor Morgan and
ho was very surc that Morgan would put money
aid In his election. That Cny straw, but 1t shows
something. There other things, TOO, that mako
such break improbable. Kelly had all along pre-
dicted that Governor Tl!den could carry New

at St Louis; and to bo
a false prophet. s'You Tildcn's election
means the end OF John Kellys rulo in 1ammany
Hall, for the first thing Tten would do would bc to
smash up that organization In view Of Kelly's strong
opposition to Tldcns nomination 1t is only natural
