Ii will be noticed that upon tins showing Cover
nor Robinson has a majority of the convention,
without the thirty-six votes of Kings County
SIGNS FAVORABLE FOR ROBINSON.
The position of the delegates from Kings has
excited a good deal of curiosity. For some time
past their home organ has been declaring that
Kings County would hold 1.-THE balance of power"
and IT has been understood that the delegation
IN the traditional position of Pennsylvania "wait-
ing to be seem, but now The Brooklyn Eagle has
declared that Governor Robinson will be renomi-
mated whatever Kings County may do and 1t is be-
leyed that the delegation will vote for him. that
county is usually on the winning side.
Eric County is also somewhat In guestionin diff
fereut way. In the table given above only there Of
its fifteen votes are given to Governor Robinson,
but dispatch received this afternoon by q ROBIN
son manager declares that they stand fourteen in the
Governors favor to against. Until further adj
vices are received, however, this statement is not
fully accepted.
There are many signs tending to show that the
tide is strong in the Governors favor. Judge Amasa
j. Parker, who is one of the Anti-Tilden contestng
delegates from Albany County, and who has been
for wears one of the bitterest Anti-Tiden leaders
throughout the State says he is in favor of Cover
nor Robinsons renomination and If admitted to the
convention shall vote for him.
sttangest of all, Senator Ecclesne, who has
changed his political coat in New-fork several
times but who is now such good Tammany man
that Mr. Kelly placed him on the Syracuse delega-
ton where none but the true and tried were en-
rolled, is secretly anxi ous II is said on excellent
authority to vote for Robinson, and is in much
agony Of soul because he does not clearly see his
way to do II.
Judging from present appearances the renomna-
ton OF Gov vernon Robinson, with all that that I'M
plies, can be prevented only by the growth of the
feeling among Robinson men themselves that IT
will be wise for le sake of harmony TO take up
some other candidate There Is some little Ia k in
that direction among the majority, thus far there
is no suppose thatit will have weight enough
10 turn the scale. The blood OF the Robinson men
is up and there is sign on their part OF any IN
tenilon TO surrender now that they nave already
carried the dav. The Tammanv men, or some OF
them at any rate. seem confident that when ihey
state their nalterable opposition TO Governor Rob
inson the convention will see the folly OF forcing
him upOn the party; but there Il no evidence OF
any such disposition on the part of the majority
TO BOLT OR NOT TO BOLT.
The great question of the hour, however. Is, Will
Tanman nv bolt II Governor Robinson is renominaedf
The Tammany men, naturally anxious to
fnghten the party as much as possible,
and thinking that they have found the
way TO do 1t, declare that they certainly
will. The Tilden men. naturally anxious that there
should be no bolt though they affect great indifier-
ence to Tammany votes, declare quite as strenu-
ouslv that Tammany will not bolt. Between the
statements outsiders may well hesitate perhaps, to
decide, There are many probabilities to be urged
on both sides.
The probable Tammany programme NJ given by
a leading delegate from New-iork, OF extreme
views however Is very interesting. lie asserts. In
the first place. that Tammany will unquestionably
bolt If the Anti-Tsmmany delegation Is al any uine
