before the convention assemblies and some man VIII
be agreed to whom all can support. When asked
who the man ia likely TO be they roll the
name of Church as n sweet morsel under
their tongues. Church Is plainly their first
choice They would be less enthusiastic
over the Hon. ClarksonN N. Potter for the highest
place the ticket, for they suspect him Of 1lden
leaning. But then ticket composed OF Judge
Church for Governor. Mr.. Potter for Lieutenant
Governor, and Homer A. Nelson, or some man Oh
similar stamp. for Attorney-General, would please
them, and they would not seriously object TO the re-
nomination of Mr. Olcott for the Controlershlp on
such a ticket. Mr.. Tilden however, when such
ticket Is brought to his attention, may smile sad
sweet SMILE and murmur, Don't you Wish you
may get il ~ That he is bent on the nomination
OF man who will represent the llluen-
Robinson policy and be identified with the
Tlden-RObns0n interests even If ne thinks neees-
sary to to abandon his intention of Leading
the ticket with the second member OF his nrn, Is
past question. That Tammany now talks of forcing
Church upon him and getting his friends to consent
to support Church in the convention shows th9
Tammany TRAIT of overrating its own power ana
undertaking that of its enemies in all its PERFECTION.
That trait has always been most conspicuous Just
before Tammanys most crushing defeats. Ihat
Churcps nomination might come aftef suruggie III

suit from an understanding before the convention

THE IRREPREssIBLE LIEUTENANT-GovERNoR.
Mr.. Dorsheimer fits to and fro between Saratoga
and New-York. He seems to find this place espe-
cially attractive when Mr. Kelly is here, and the
communings of these choice and kindred spirits are
periodical. MIR. Dorsheimer like the convert In a
camp-meetng thinks he has q hope. IL
is not probable that Mr.. Kelly agrees
with hum, Iammany braves generally think
that Mr.. Dorsheimer's chances OF the nomlna-
ton for which he pants would have been much bet-
ter if his mouth had been stitched up early IN the
season. The "long talk hurt him, aud his Pititul
plant about Mr.. filden's failure TO pay ms eK-
peuses at st. Louis has not done him any good. And
now TO cap the climax mess OF tWaddle
about Mr.. Illden's age and diet and physical weak
ness is credited to him in an interview published IN
the West. Mr.. DOTshemer Is understood To deny
having had any such interview, but TO nave ad-
mltted that nc talked over such matters privately
with MS friends. Mr.. TIden when ne reads sucl
stuff must pat his pedoneteT with It's record OF miles
trayersed IN heathful exercise each day. ana reject
that at least one Tammany PhIsuue Is committing
suicide with the weapon that Samson used u slay
thousand adYersailes.
