opposed to man. But assuming General siocum to
be my personal enemy. anu assuming John @. Jacobs
to be my friend. how is it they both Jared alike in
tho Convention? No. sir; there was nothing per-
sonal in my preference for Robinson against
Slocum. l believed that if Kings county had not
supported MIR. Robinson it would have been treach-
cry. inasmnch have stood by him heretofore" :"
General Socum said that he accepted the result OF
the Convention as satisfactory to himself and he
would do his best for the SUCCESS of the ticket He
did not attribute Mr.. McLaughlin's opposition to
his candidacy to personal reasons. nor did he think
he had hard thought in regard to the past. There
fore he had personal feelings against Mclaughlin
for not supporting him.
no OTHER COURSE TO PURSUE.
Mr.. Maurice +. Uolahan said very seriously that
after all he had seen in Syracuse he was convinced
there was no other course tor the Tammany dele
gates to pursue than to withdraw. The Convention
packed in Robinsons interest, and nothing like
the freedom of choice that the spirit OF American
institutions calls for allowed to be exercised.
Mr. Jerome Buck said Tam many was fully JUS
titled in the course taken. II it wasn't tor that
ganization Lucius Robinson would never have been
elected Governor. North aud west of this city there
are hardly two counties safe for democratic ma
jorty that in most instances of the election of
democratic Governor New York has always been
the great factor Naturally. then the represen tatves
OF entire third OF the democratic vote OF the
whole State believed they were entitled to some con-
received none, and the country element OF the
party-composed largely of othce-holders in the
Robinson administration-had its own way
and by sheer effrontery drove the New
York delegates from the Convention. There
course. m they have taken. Time will justify their
conduct and history will vindicate the bold course
pursued by John Kelly. though eak-kneod
democrats are disposed now to imagine that he has
brought ruin on the party"
TO rEAcH THE COUNTRY PUMPKINS
Justice Duffy, who went Us de egate from the First
Assembly district. said:-''rhe bolt the part of
Tammany simply for the purpose Of teaching
the haylUft and cheeScpreSs democracy OF the iute
ror OF the State that they could not with impuniy
dictate to the democracy OF this city,
Mr.. Jordan L. Mott appeared fully satisfied with
the turn in affairs He explained that the reason why
his delegation had been left out of the Convention
was because they wished to give Tammany no oppor-
tunity for complaint.
Mr. Clarkson n Potter, the nominee for Lieuten-
ant Governor declined to say anything about affairs
at Syracuse beyond stating that he was out at New
Rochelle, where there was teegraphic conlmlini-
cation and that it only when he arrived in town
Friday morning he learned through the newspapers
of his nomination.
politician of Tammany proclivities, standing on
the City Hall steps, said:-"I think Robinson will
withdraw and some man acceptable to all the party
will be in his place. The bolt will draw enough
votes away from Robinson to elect Cornell.
THE ARROGANCE OF rAMMANY.
Mr.. Abran s. Hewitt, speaking OF the events at
Syracuse said he was well pleased 1T the renomna-
ton of Governor Robinson because he deserved it.
He thought his success in great measure due
strengthened his position Mr. Kelly b idea appears
to be that he leader OF Tammany. should only
in this city, but that he should govern the State and
national conventions. This arrogance must be de-
eated ut some time and there no be:or time than
the present He will not havo any considerable fol-
lowing. nor will his detection have any per-
ceptible effect upon the demociatic vote.
OF class that the party can well
afford lose. He had little confidence in ant-Tam-
many or other outside movements, and considered
himself still u member of Tamnany Hail. but like
many others he was opposed to man ruling it, He
thought it mistake to call this atc battle be-
licve either Mr.. Tilden or Mr.. Robinson had any
thing to do with it, 1t is merely q protest of tho
OF the democratic voters OF the State against
the dictation of one clique It will be seen
by the sequel that the Convention acted wisely in
selecting Governor Robinson their standard
bearer.
MAYOR CoopERs VIEWS.
When Mayor Cooper reached his office In the City
Hall he congratulated by Colonel Tracy his Sec
retary, and other gentlemen the result OF the
paign. The Mayor gave evidence OF the satisfaction
he felt at the course pursued by the Convention.
Soon after he had taken his seat the reporter called
upon him and asked him il he would be pleased to
give his views the action Of the Conven-
ton. He replied: IL think Mr.. Robihson's
is excellent nomination. and I really don't know
how the Convention could do thing else than
lect him again tor Governor in view of the threat
made by Mr.. Kelly. He had majority for him, and
the majority after using their Judgment refused
yield to arbitrary dictation.
''What do you think the detection in Tammany
will amount TOP
'.I am 1 cannot say but believe that any
votes Tammany may take from MIR. Robinson will
be more than counterbalanccd By the increased vote
that MIR. Keilys threat will call out Tor the Gov
crnor."
.You believe Mr. Robinson will be elccted?''
'I do; believe he will be elected by good ma
jority."
