Gov. Robinson will stick to the canvass.
There is no such word as "withdraw'' in his
vocabulary. Apropos of the many rumors
of possible compromise on Clarkson N.
Potter, the Governor has allowed himself to
be interviewed, and said what all who know
his character expected. After stating his
unwillingness to be q candidate three years
ago, and his determination to retire anyhow
after his term was served, he. said: 81
should have carried out my determination,
and sincerely desired to do so, but, when an
overbearing faction undertook to bulldoze
because they and their friends could not
make use Of my administration for their
purposes, uttered brutal threats of boiling
and giving the State to the Republicans if
the choice of the Democratic convention
ent Democracy throughout the State deter
mined to make me their candidate. Twas
no longer in position to decline. Had
the arrogant and overbearing clique, and
made it appear that John Kelly, backed by
corrupt rings that had felt the power of an
honest government, held supreme control
over the Democracy of New York" Not
willing to see the Democracy destroyed by
yielding to such pressure, the Governor &C
cepted the nomination in the interest, he
said, of the Democracy and people of the
State. .
HE ADMITTED he WAS NOT NFALL1BLE,
and would do some things differently; but,
in the main, he was willing to let his record
stand criticism. Regarding Tilden's alleged
control, Gov. Robinson exclaimed, 1T is ut
terly false to say any man has controlled my
administration, which has been controlled
only by respect for the constitution
and laws, and my own sense of
justice and right. AS to Mr.. Tilden,
he has had less to do, even in the way of
counsel and advice, with my administration
than many prominent and intelligent Dem
ocrats of my acquaintance. have not seen
Mr.. Tilden for six months, and can think of
no single act of my administration done at
his suggestion. The prospects, he said,

am aware, however, that reports coming
to headquarters are liable to be colored by
kind feeling and enthusiasm of our we'll
wishers, and must be take with some grains
of allowance. My own reliance has been on
the good sense and honest intentions of the
people. I cannot think any large number of
Democrats will lend themselves to q con-
spiracy to give the State to our political op-
ponents, and uphold bolt which las not q
shadow of principle for its palliation.'
THE OLD MAN,
whose calm reliance in the people is hardly
shared by his more knowing supporters, did
not think much of the attitude of the Re-
publican administration toward this canvass,
pronouncing it degrading. He concludes:
Wby,such pitiable sight might we'll shame
Mr.. Conkling's dog, if he owns one."
The Herald, which has been trying, singu-
larly enough for an independent journal, to
bring about compromise, now gives it up,
and also all hopes of saving the State to the
Democracy. It says: ''The total failure of
all efforts for an immediate reconciliation of
the Democratic faction will disappoint most
severely those Southern and Western Demo
cratic politicians who have been active
agents in the undertaking without fully
compromising its difficulty"
