The Tammsnyitss when the ballot.
ting for Governor commenced withdrew
from the Convention.
In the evening they hired hall
and held q convention. Hon. David
Dudley Field was chosen President,
and in brief speech he said that
they felt grossly affronted at the
action of the majority Of the conven-
tion in the attempt 70 force down their
throats the nomination of Governor
Robinson. He declared that In their
present proceedings would be shown
their high sense Of right, justice and
manhood.
Hon. John B. Haskin also made an
address Of similar tenor. He said he
had helped to make cross between q
mule and a jackass Mayor OF New York
city last year, and he was heartily
sorry for it now. Lieutenant Governor
Dorsheimer reported from committee
that the Convention should nominate
. candidate for Governor, and defer fu-
ture action until called together by q
special executive committee to be apl
pointed by the Convention. For Gov
ernor he presented the name of Hon.
John Kelly Of New York city. His
name was received with great enthu-
siasm and he was nominated by accls-
nation.
Mr.. Kelley was called on for q speech,
and when the cheering subsidized he re-
turned thanks for the honor conferred.
He said 1t was splendid compliment
from the heart and not from the lip.
He did not expect to be elected Govern
or, of course, but he did expect to de-
feat the man who had committed great
outrages on New York. The Conven-
tion then adjourned without day.
The Broken BeWer-An Explains.
tion OF the Causes whfe h led to
1t.
Mr.. A. s. Reed, the contractor and
builder Of the sewer which caved In on
Tuesday afternoon, and to which We
referred on Wednesday and again yes
terday, called on us yesterday afternoon
and gave the explanation Of the causes
which led to the oaving in. He proved
that the break is no fault of the build
or, nor can it be attributed to any de-
feet in the material used. The sewer
1t appears is dug at the place of the
break, on the slope ofa hill, so that it
will be readily seen that when
while the ground on one side
was but level with the top of the stone
the other side sloped of the
hill at an angle of about 20 degrees,
the entire arch of the sewer according
to contract remaining exposed. About
a week since Mr.. John Hare who is
building near the sewer, began filling
in on the slope just spoken of in order
to raise a yard back ofone of his houses.
Now it will plainly be seen that the
filing in Of the ground upon the slope
Of the hin, the upper side of the sewer,
formed a complete wedge which of
course bearing entirely on one side of
he arch while the other side was un-
pushed the arch out of place
;hus causing the break. We personal.
y examined the spot and find it to
lgree entirely with the above, and in
addition to the testimony of all the
builders we have spoken to on the sub
cot, we cheerfully unite ours, that the
Freak does not in any manner reflect on
Mr.. Read, and in fact had the sewer
,een built Of cast iron it must have
,iven way before the unequal pressure
which was brought to bear on this one.
