and their absence caused great Disappointment
Here seems to be some mystery about Mr. Dors-
hemer, absence. Although announced in Albany
he did not come. and no~ again ho has disappointed
an audience and his political friends. Mr. Kelly said
that Mr.. Dorshemer was attending 10 q lawsuit IN
Pennsy ylyauia. The antI-Robuson Democrats of Al

inson Democrats here started the injurious report
tonight that Mr. Dorsheimer has deserted Mr.
Kelly. They said that Canal Appraiser oturees- had
written to Mr.. Dorsheimer appealing 10 him not
to follow Mr.. Kelly further n his assault upon
Governor Robinson. As neither Mr.. Dorshsiuer
nor Mr.. Slurgess Is IN this city tonight, the au-
thenticty OF this rumor could not be investigated.
Mr.. Cox tccgraphed from New-York a. follows:

and our harmony next
Notwithstanding these absences. Mr. Kelly and
HIS companions had the pleasure Of looking in tho
face 1000 persons IN thc Utica Opera House to-
night. 1t is evident that Mr.. Kelly will havc
large audiences IN every place that he VISIT In
theatrical phrase he draws we'll; but after drawing
| people he does not hold them WE'LL At every place
many persons have left while he was speaking. 1t
is clear from the apathetc manner of many
persons in the audiences he has addressed
that thcv were drawn 10 hear him merely
from cuuosity but so hearty is the greeting that no
receives and So cordial the applause that is given
his sentiments. that II Is apparent large number of
the men who have h ard him thus far have friendly
feelings toward him, and may vote Tor him for
Governor.
