JOHN KELLY.
Hats were raised in token of respect for the in
scribed declaration. and congratulations followed

arrived. He dressed in light fall suit and
drab Derby hat, haneath which a countenance
wreathed in smiles he viewed his faithful hench-
men. Again hats elevated and the big
chieftain passed within the portals of the Wigwam

however. Horatio Seymour, Francis Herman and
such men should step in and advise way out
Of this difficulty. Horatio Seymour owes it to tho
party. He should have attended to the Convention.
He is tho father of the party in the State. and
his counsels would have been needed. 1t was but
an hours ride from his home, and he should have
been there. He owed that sacrifce-if sacrifice it
wasto tho party after declaring from Union square
that the war was failure ut time that 100000
democrats from this State In the ned prepared
to shed their blood for the sake Of their country.
God knows how it will end"
