AUBURN. Oct. 10. 1879.
Across the mo street Of Oswego Thursday
hung banner caring the likeness of John Kelly
and the words Regular Democratic Nomination.
For Governor. Ja Kelly" Across the main street
OF Auburn to-dayangs banner bearing the names
OF Lucius Robinn and his associates the State
ticket. but withotone word to show by what party
they are put in omination. They may be demo-
cratic; they maye anri-Tammany; they may be
republican; they ~ be labor reform; they may be
prohibition or tn may be Tildenites for anything
That the canvas ,ntains. The Regular on the
0swego banner regarded as an evidence of consd-
cradle cheek. Tlfailure to sail openly under the
democratic colorin Auburn is looked upon as
very singular ONION.
rAPERING OFF.
Coming direct ON Oswego to Auburn is calcu
lated on superhd examination to convey the i'm
preston that tho;elly movement tapers off very
suddenly after leaeg the cana! towns. This. how
ever. soon proves be an erroneous conclusion.
Tor while there is L the overwhelming and avowed
ascendancy OF the al Robinson and Tilden strength
IN Cayuga that one Gets at every turn in Oswego
very little inquiry lows that the rebel movement
has its friends In th county and that they are Of
character not to bdespised. There is not tho
svowed and bold sport Of Mr.. Kelly which Is
met with in Ononosa and Oswego, and which
taxes the offensive in the battle going on
within the democrsc party; but there is
hrm, settled determition to defeat Mr.. Robinson
and by so doing to diipse forever of Mr.. Tilden's
claims ON the President nomination and of his al
legged attempt to seize pom the democratic organi-
sation of this State piece of personal property
to be used only for theron otion of his ambitious
schemes. This feeling ,akes anti Robinson votes
or stay at homes all oveCayuga county just as GER
fainly as 1t carries witlit the great bulk of the
democrats of the city tOswego, a fair portion of
the democrats Of the tons of the county and con-
siderable share Of the duocracy of Onondaga.
THE ROBINSON nfMrrEE AT WORK
visit to the Robinso headq quarters in Auburn
showed at once that MOI real work was boing done
ut this point than in etlr of the counties of Onon
daga or Oswego on beha of the regular nominee
But it developed someing more. The hour at
which the HERALD repre- ntative visited tho COM
mitiee rooms being ear Mr.. Alanson West, who
has charge Of the Robnsc canvass In the county of
cayuga was absent. Twor three of the 'rural dis
trct citizens" who had oven in with their wagon

Tilden had been at the botto OF it. and wanted to
drive Tammany out Of the pity as they couldn't

VIEWS OF THE COMMITTEES CHAIRMAN.
When the chairman of the ommittee arrived he
was found to be in the midstf an active and ap-
parenty well conducted cansss of the town and
there seemed to be directness nd practical system
In his work. which is not obsvable the part of
the Robinson men in some 9th places
"There is undoubtedly someseliy strength here
he said. In reply to inquiry, but do not care to
give my opinion OF its extent. lou in of
the truth and perhaps my feeligs make me under
rate it.. / can however, say tat l believe in this
city 1t grows mainly out of dissatisfaction and dis
appointment the part of SINE democrats who
were thrown out of employmeIin the State Prison
whom the change in the wardeniip took place, and
Of others who sought and faeto obtain appoint
ments from the new warden. Ayreat many OF the
prominent Kelly men in this ton will be found to
have some spot in relation this State Prison
change. and they strike at Gov;nor Robinson tor
This reason alone"
Have you any idea of the nuber of Mr.. Kelly's
supporters in this town.
~ prefer You would inquire the Kelly demo-
Gratis themselves. They had lub meeting last
night and enrolled 1888 membe. They claim
greater strength. but do not seeyhere they get IT,
Al all events believe they will hire less on election
day than they have now"
FEELINa AGAINST wopIN

PER CONTRA
On the other hand. an inquiry anon, he leading

"Unqucstionably weaker man than wotin would

strong will and has fought against 1t al: beaten it

Another republican said -
