Immediately after the reading of the roll, L. s.
Jenny of Syracuse. an Anti-Iilden man, jumped
softly to his feet and moved hastily that Syracuse
should be selected rs the place for holding the con-
vention, aud that September 10 should be the day.
The IIlden men were in the majority, and they
therefore smiliuely heard this motion from the
ranks Of their opponents, which was obviously in
tended to forestall them in their own determination
so to prevent any display Of the weakness of the
Anti-Tilden wing.

This indirect praise of the administration Of Gov
ernors Tlden and Robinson was not welcome to tie
An-Tilden members, but they felt compelled TO ac-
cept it IN lieu of something worse with which they
had been threatened. This something worse was
the pledging of every delegate elected TO the State
Convention TO a loyal support of all ITS noninees
Mr.. Jenny at once accepted MI. Fauikners sub
stitute, and it was then adopted
Augustus Schell, who was inpatient to return TO
sprightly Saratoga, then moved sOlemnly that tie
committee should adjourn.
The motion was unanimously adopted, and MT.
Purcell and Mr.. Schell looking exceedingly soured
by the painful disclosures Of the day, departed at
once from the place.
Mr.. KELLY DEFIANT.
Mr. Kelly remained until nightfall, talking cheer
fully with his friends, and calmly announcing that
Tammany Hall would not, even under the present
circumstances. support Governor Robinson. The
Anti-Tiden leaders declare that the action of the
committee to-day is indication of the course 1t
will take when the temporary chairman is selected
at Syracuse on September 10. They say that the
men who gave proxies did under misapprehen-
sion and that they win be at Syracuse III person
when the convention meets and vote with the Anti
Tilden wing.
The Tilden men are very confident of their power
to retain the control of the committee. They boast
that their majority will be still larger at the next
meeting of the committee. Lewis Beach, of the
XIVth District formerly an Anti-nlden man, is SAID
To be waverIng between the two wings.
If the Tilden men retain their present power they
'can name the temporary chairman of the Syracuse
Convention and perhaps exclude portion of the
Tammany delegation and admit portion of the
Anti-rammany delegation.
The Anti-nilden members profess to have no can
didate for Governor, but the New-York members of
that wing avow privately that its candidate now
is Chef-Justlce Church They also state that they
are opposed to the denomination of Controller Ol-
colt and Acknowledgement SchOOnmaker. The Til
den wing ms reprcs nted here Is in favor Of the
nomination Of Governor Robinson.
