According to this calculation it would appear that
Lucus Robinson will have eleven more votes in the
Convention than is necessary to nominate. 1t is
also stated here that he will be nominated on the
first ballot. and that even If he does receive the
requisite number at that point OF the Convention
proceedings large number OF those marked

skirmishng determines beyond question that Mr..
Tildens friends are in control.
OTHER sIDE-IHE REPORTED TAMMANy-REPUB-
LICAS
Several OF the Tammany leaders with whom con-
versed here and at saratoga potitively contradict
tho statement that any bargain has been entered
into between MIR. John Kelly and the republicans for
tho purpose OF aiding Alonzo b. Cornels canvass
They point ana with a good deal of reason. to tho
impossibility of carrying out any such contract in
New York city. They argue thus :-"Every body all
familiar with politics in tho metropolis understands
how tho machinery works upon election day.
In tho time OF Tweed Co. OF course gigantic frauds
could be easily perpetrated. But the situation is
entirely different at present No man, nor set OF
men, can deliver large number of votes to
didate or another at pleasure. Tho charge is that
certain number OF votes to Cornell How is he going
to do it? That is the question At each polling
democrats and two republicans Then there are the
poll clerks. 1t is o question whether the demo-
cratic inspectors will be taken from the Tammany
tho anti-Tammany list. Probably they may be
divided between both. Next we have the police
stationed at all the polling places. Two of
the Police Commissioners are Tildenites and
two republicans. Can the police be used
as q machine to assist the so-caled Cornell
Kelly bargain? Again each candidate is entitled to
have watcher at the polls. II Robinson Is nomi-
mated will his friends to it that his tickets
are easily found by the voters and counted on the
night or tho 4th OF November. Frauds of q limited
character will always be practised elections in New
York. All parties indulge in those practices: But
the statement that Mr. John Kelly would lend him
self to such outrageous scheme is simply ridicu
lous. He cannot accomplish such u thing if he
would and he wouldn't If he could That is all there
is about it,"
sAcHEM KEARNY FIRES A SALUTE.
1t will be recollected that Mr.. Edward Kearny was
the gentleman who. 1876. bet $4,000 with John
Morrissey that il Samuel j. Tilden were nominated
for President he would not carry tho State Of Now
York. The bet was afterward compromised
been elected of the thirteen sachems
Of the Tammany Society. Sachen Kearny has
Just unburdened himself to the political
situation. His views. as prominent member Of
the inside Tammany organization and as poll itcian
who took such peculiar position in 1876. are of
II am of the opinion" he remarked, .that the di-
vided democratic party cannot succeed ut the polls
next November. History ofontimes repeats itself In
May. 134s. Tiidon follower OF Van Buren,.
When the willy Samuel found that Van Buren, had
lost the Convention he followed William Lloyd Gar
rison, aiding him in building up the republican
party"
s.What has this to do with the present nghty'
the past and the present among Tiden and his col
leagues. Lucius Robinson is no democrat. He
will take any side for an office. Once democrat.
he left his party and secured office from
the republicans When he found that the latter
would not trust him he left and turned his eyes
toward the former He was next provided with
Office by Tiiden. and Is again ready to destroy the
democratic party. Consequently. don't see how
democrats can DO ready to renominste him.
.'Tammany will fight Robinson and Tilden to the
bitter endY'

'.As an active, experienced politician give mo your

"By means. The democrats throughout the
State did not quite understand the situation ut rst
but when they como to study 1t they look upon
matters in a different light. They know Kelly
to be honest politician Ho showed this in tho
Tilden campaign by supporting the st. Louis candi-
date faithfully alter nomination. He forced me at
that time resign from the TaInmany Hall General
Committee whom he saw that would not support
Tildon."
"will Mr.. Tilden. in your opinion. support Gov
ernor Robinson for denomination ut SyracuseY
II think not If he should do so and Robinson
Is rcnomnated the State is lost to the democracy.
'Supposing that Robinson Is not renominated, can

OTHER CONCLUSIONS.
Thus the democratic fight goes on, and nobody

State Convention.
the State ticket will be renonnated with the excep
ton Of William Dorshcmer for Lieutenant Gov

ho can have it. Others talk OF placing Clarkson n
