SO much cheating going on that he didn't know but
that he should go down to New-YoIk and let tho
BANKED old convention run itself These were
among the signs, that the Governor was making
more impression upon the ranks of the doubtful del
egatcs than these men like to see.
Tammany Hall is pursuing something Of the same
tactics that it adopted with such poor results, at
ST. Louis. Its crowd of retaners Is by no means as
large or so noisy. but it is much the same crowd,
and is sufficiently rough and loud to do mole barn
than good rumor prevailed for some hours that
John Kelly had chartered special train. which was
bringing up about $50 Of "the boys" but, fortu-
nately. this rumor proves so far unfounded, for
in that case John Morrissey would und oubtedly
have trumped John Kely's card with ano ther train
load of the same description. and Albany would
have been well nigh annihilated. trifling indis-
creton also on the line of the bunders at ST. Louis,
is that of suspendng everywhere through the Deie-
van placard, "Tammany Hall Headquarters" The
very name Of the organization is so dlstasteful to
large class of emocrats-especially those from the
rural regions-that it is always mistake to thrust
1t upon them. 1t must not be supposed from what
has been sand that there is any complaint TO be made
against the Tammany delegation OF meagreness IN
numbers, or excessive modesty OF behavior. WHAT
ever cause for feeling there may have been on that

refusing the use Of his name, and this was known

on inquiry. It was found that letter had been re-
ceived from Mr.. Bgelow, within the past week,
in which he announced his willingness to be
a candidate in Difference to Governor Robinson's
urgent representations that for him TO refuse to be
candidate would be to put the party in the attitude
of having made il plain that he could not be nom

said in his letter that be considered it sacrifice

consider it now, as it kept him from pur-

circumstances he could not refuse to stand There
is good reason to believe that his first reluctance to

The presence of John ID. Townsend, weeds cOun-
