MR.. KELLY DEFIED.

from the Utica IN. Y.) Herald, July 81
If Lucius Robinson is renominated he count
on the solid vote of the party. We say this in the
face of the HERALD's second "interview," which is
with Comptroller John Kelly. who emphatically de-
clares that if Governor Robinson is renominated
Tammany Hall will refuse to support him. Now
MI. Kelly is o very influential member Of Tammany
Hail. and inside OF Convention he dictates its pol
ICY But when he attempts to forecast tho action OF
CO. 600 democrats at the polls he is liable to In
1876. at ST. Louis he emphaticaly declared that II
Mr.. Tilden named for President the democracy
Of New York city would not support him and he
could not carry the State But Mr.. Tilden was nom-
mated he carried the State by 30 900 majority and
the democracy of New York city gave him
larger vote than they. had ever before
given to any candidate for any office. Mr..
Kelly is not wise politician. or he
would indulge in fewer threats. He is wofully mis-
taken if he supposes that he can brighten the
democracy of the State by talking about bolt.
Democrats q rule not easily scared. and when
they have made up their minds to what is best
they will 60 forward and do it. II Mr. Kelly goes
with them he will be sure to share the honors. II
he refuses to go he will probably live to learn that
the party is stronger than the man. even though the
man is Comptroller OF New York and chief Of the
Tammany braves.

BIG INDIANS TO BE CONSULTED.


Mr.. Kelly is entitled to credit for the plainness
with which he expresses his opinions. He is sup
posed to speak for Tammany Hall. but his declara-
tions on behalf Of that organization must be re.
ceived with a grain of allowance. Mayor Cooper is
a member of the Tammany Society, and Mr.. Kelly
does not speak for him. Ex-Msyor Ely and ex- Mayor
Wickham members Of Tammany but though
each In turn the choice of Mr.. Kelly he hardly
reflects the views Of either of them now. Even Luz
cius Robinson is q Tammany brave, and was once
Sachem of that organization. Does Mr.. Kelly speak
for him? The fact ia Tammany il an extensive con-
cern and it has great fondness for changing its
leaders Mr.. Kelly occupies prominent place
to day in its councils, but next month he
may be superseded. Stranger things have hap
pened. Mr.. Kelly's experience in st. Louis
in 1876 ought to have taught him that it
is very dangerous to speak for the organiza-
ton. He said there that under circumstances
could the democrats OF New York city be induced to
vote for Mr.. Tilden. But when Mr.. Tilden
nominated he received larger vote in New York
city than had before been given to any candi-
date anyoce whatsoever. 1t is to be added that
Mr.. Kelly did yeoman service-in spite OF his st.
Louis assertions-in behalf of the regular ticket
that year. After he has exhausted his present spleen
we expect to find him working in line with the
party for the regular candidates Of the State Con-
yentiou.

IMPOSSIBLE TO RETREAT.

From the Albany IN. " Journal. August IL
AS question of tactics Mr.. Kelly's utterance may
be OF doubtful wisdom. II it is calculated to make
democrats hesitate about renominating Governor
Robinson the other hand it leaves his supporters
no alternative but to press him. They cannot re-
treat in the face Of such proclamation Mr.. Kellys
method is his own business. The one thing which
it emphasizes is the deep seated nature Of the con-
hc and the fact that 1t leaves him no course but to
fght the battle out to the bitter end.

BREAKING THE SLATE.

From the New York Star. August IL
The HERALD strikes at the very heart OF the I'll
den-Robinson programme when it condemns their
plan letting the republicans elect the State ticket
this fall in order that it may appear that Mr. Tiiden
is the only man with whom the democracy can carry
New York in $780, Could there be better illustra-
ton of his utter sefshness than this scheme Affords
or more convincing evidence of the ignominious
uses to which he would put the democratic masses
of the Empire State?
