The action of the New York Democratic con-
vention in renominsting Gov. Robinson, and
the withdrawal of John Kelly and his Tam
many cohorts has excited the liveliest osaip
here to-day. The hober second thought Is that
Tilden in debating Robinson's nomination in

shown himself to be an arrant coward, but
would have handed the State over to the dicta-

away from Robinson, by either having them

voting at all. They say that Kelly il heartily

two years been trying to crush Tammany out,

submitting to its dictates, postpone the SIGHT
another year; that the rupture was bound to
come either this year or next, and that Tilden,
in his credited abundance of ssgacity, pro-
