The open alliance of Cornell with
Kelly to surrender the taxpayers to
Tammanv is driving decent Republicans
by thousands to the support OF Robin
son. The commercial future OF New
York. attacked by Sherman in the inter
est of Chicago, arrays the mercantile
classes against the Stalwarts. Kelly :
local nominations have angered his own
adherents. RobinsOn's disclaimer of re-
sponsibihty for Tilden has encouraged q
strong support from the Independents.
The signs to-day are all favorable for a
plurality in New York and Kings sutfi-
cient to counterbalance the Republican
vote i'm the interior.
