Every effort viii be made to keep the control
of the hall in the hands of tho majority and pre-

the advantage In organization and leadership. Inc

AS TO A PROBABLE BOLT.
Thequestion. Will Tammany boti is as far as ever
from satisfactory answer. There is no abatement
whatever in the fervor of the Tammany declara-
tons that they will bolt If the denomination scheme
Is successful. 1t Is said BIZ that the plan out
lined In these dispatches last night-a convention
In New-York, the nomination OF General Smith and
the Endorsement of the rest of the Syracuse ticket
will certainly be carried out. Only the actual
event will show whether Mr.. Kelly can carry his
whole delegation out of tho convention.
The Tammany statesmen arc In good deal
Of mental distress. They afraid to bolt,
and afraid not to bolt, afraid of the con-
venton, and very much afraid of Kelly. In
private some of them admit frankly enough their
| reluctance to commit tho objectionable Democratic
sin. and 1t might be that few would refuse to
follow their chief but it would be very few.
The chances are that If Mr.. Kelly should
bolt, his delegation would support him, just as
Presidential delegations sometimes support candi-
dates without liking them. 1t is suggested that
Henry l.. Clinton may save himself embarrassment
by not going into the convention at all. There
seems to be no doubt that he is opposed to bolt.
Senator Ecclesine has been dropped from the New
York delegation and is now openly for Robinson.
Various schemes arc proposed for committing
Tammany to the action OF the'convention. One is
that Immediately after the roll is called resolu-
ofo nj al NJ
convention to abide by its decsion that the prev-
GUS question shall be ordered and the yeas and
nays shall be called. Should Tammany vote yea,
1t would be committed beyond doubt Should 1t
vote no, 1t would place itself in an utterly unten-
able position.
The Tammany men do not mention tie name OF
any candidate FOR Governor except that OF Judge
Church and il is not believed that that gentle
mans friends will allow his he used unless
II is clear that he can he nomlnaied They have
made apparent preparation for n bolt which e
Shakespeare Hall. the only hail of any considerable
size IN the city besides that engaged for tae con-
ventOn. This may have been done, however.
simply in view of the danger of a conflict over the
control OF WietIng Hall.
CONTESTS FOR SEATS.
Probably the number and Importance OF the con-
tests for seats will throw all the actual business of
the convention. including nominations, over until
Thursday. The contest In New-York City is the
greatest. of course. All four districts In Albany
I'm Kings, the lid District in Onondaga. the lid in
Duchess, and the Counties of Chemung Orleans
and Tioga each with three votes.
Under the rule governing conventions the dele
cations sent by the organization recognized regu
lar by the previous convention will alone be adj
mtted TO q share in the preliminary deliberations.
Under this rule the Tammany delegation alone will
be admitted from New-York, and the Anti-Tiden
delegations from Orleans and the two districts
tested in Onondago and Duchess. while the
Tilden delegations will nc admitted from
Albany and Brooklyn and Chemung and Tioga
Counties. The contest from Chemung County
is said to be entirely manufactured affair, and is
so declared by the man who was announced as the
head of the contestiDg delegation, Judge Hiram
Gray, Of Emira, who presided over the second
Democratic convention of 1876. Ex-speaker
jeremiah Mcclure is also ameniber of this bogus
delegation Mr. Mcclure. when last heard Of, was
a Groenbackcr, and he las been within day or
Two announced 10 speak at a Greenback barbecue
nj Albany. The Iidcn delegates from Albany and
Brooklyn will be retained in their seats a matter
of course they represent tie party organizations
in their respective counties.
1t is too soon. perhaps to make predictions con-
corning the action of the convention upon Tam
many's credentials 1t Is noticeable however that
the Antl-Tammany delegates seem very Indifferent
TO thu matter Some prominent Ant-Tammany out
sdcrs who are here urge that Tammany be alone
admitted by the committee On contested seats ms
the REGULAR organization in order that il may have
no grievance whatever and no excuse for a bolt.
Senator Herman has arrived and Is urging har-
mouy He wants the two parties to 20 together and
talk 1t over. This is very much like moving that
the menagerie go into committee OF the whole.
David Dudley Field has also arrived. lie is under
stood to share his brothers views concerning
Mr.. Tilden.
There is very little thought given to the platform
There is every reason to believe that Erastns
Brooks will prepare it, that it will attempt to turn
the campaign upon State issues. and will contain
loud declarations upon the railroad and excise
questions.
The State Committee met tonight. Senator John
C. Jacobs who was previously selected by Tilden
caucus as the strongest man for temporary chair
man. was named for the place and unanimously
elected. The Tammany members made no contest.
On test vote the liden men pOed eighteen vo'cs'
the Anti-Tilden fifteen, showing that the ratio
| obtained ut Niagara Falls is unimpared.
| Later-Some OF Senator Kernans later utterances
are exciting attention. lie takes tho position that
| thinks the interests of the party demand the
withdrawal of his name Daniel Manning
and some other Tilden leaders had talk with Sen
| ator Herman this evening N which they made tins
| supposition: Suppose Mr.. Herman that year
| from now the Democracy of the country outside OF
New-York City demanded your reelection TO the SEN
ate and Iamnany sent fifteen men to the Legislature
who said they would not vote for youf what
| would Won do % I'd 90 to Albany" said Senate.
Herman, L" and say for Gods sake gentlemen. don't
| elect Republican ! am not candidate" TINS
remark was greeted with applause by many IN the
room.
