To Say Of the Situation in
New York. @-z@

declined to speak OH national affairs. Re-
garding the reported intention of Tammany

the Democratic convention, the Governor said
he had great respect for boilers generally, rs
the action implied strorg will. He added
that, AS to the local Democratic politics Of
New York city, they are In o hopeless mud
die and likely to remain SO. The reason is
the great strength of the party in the city, it
comprising tive-sevenths Of all the voters. 1t
is So strong that it splits into factions, and
the contests turn up on the possession OF the
tleShpots BY one faction Or another. Now, Ii
Kelly should feel an honest dissatisfaction
with my possible nomination for Governor,
spr1nging from this cause, and should choose
to stand aside and await the action of the
convention, and then should bolt If it was un-
satisfactory, l, for one, should have no cause
to find fault with him.

Gov. Tilden sharply and says he had used I'M
usual ways and means to get control of the
State committee, but that the probabilities
are that Iammany will control the conven-
tiOn.
