NEW YORK, Sept. %.
To the Editor of the STAR
Politically New York city and State
present strange spectacle just now.
The foundations of the great deep of both
parties seem to be broken up. The ma
chine nomination of Cornell by the Re-
publicans is distasteful to many of the
party, so much so that organizations in
the party are forming to oppose his cleo
ton. Tammany having bolted the NOM
ination of Robinson, has flung to the
breeze of its hate "For Governor John
Kelly" and has struck hands with the
Republican machine men for the election
of Cornell.
1t was humiliating spectacle at SYRIA
cuse to see, as | saw it, such men as David
Dudley Field, William Dorsheimer, Sun
set Cox, and Others, cavorting around
threatening to bolt the nomination of
Robinson, and doing obeisance to the
beck and nod of John Kelly. Now it
5 may seem singular to the outside world,
but it is 50, that all this abject cringing
is for spoils. Dorsheimer was bought
over to Tammany by partnership with
! firm of young lawyers here, who are
! pets of Tammany and its courts, and
receives for his nominal connection with
+; the firm fifteen thousand year. This is
Q the secret of his abandonment of Tilden.
Cox represents district where Tam
> many reigns supreme, hence his attitude
! ! of opposition to Robinson now, as it was
1 to Tilden at st. Louis. David Dudley
! Field, whom Tilden sent to Congress to
1 manage his Presidential case, takes sides
! with Tammany because of his brother
Cyrus W. Fields quarrel with Mr.. Til
Il den Many New Workers believe and
, say that Cyrus was induced to take this
d course to attempt to destroy Mr.. Tilden's
) power in his party in the hope of build
g ing up the Presidential chances of his
brother, Justice Field. At any rate the
poor old man has been completely van
=, quishcd by the interview with Mr.. Til
u den published in Thursdays New York
' Times.
While I doubt, as do many Others, the
propriety of the publication by Mr.. Til
, den of this reply, yet it must be ac-
,, knowledged that it most completely and
y thoroughly disposes of the imaginary
wrong that Mr. Field conceived he had
7 suffered at the hands of Mr.. Tilden by
+ the latter's sale Of New York Elevated
= Railroad stock. In palliation of Mr..
;, Fields course, it must be stated that he
s old and somewhat in his dotage, and
certainly has been acting under bad ad-
. vice. Since the Field-Tilden imbroglio
: the World has taken UP the war against
= the latter and joined in the ranks of the
i Star and Express in their abuse of the
sage of Gramercy Park.
Meanwhile Mr.. Tilden complacently
u pursues the even tenor of his way at his
= city home, Gramercy Park, and his palace
! on the Hudson. No matter what may be
= the motive of the opposition by Mr.. Til
. den to Tamm my, he is certainly doing
: valiant service in the interest of good
t morals and government. They say he
wants to get control of Tammany. Ger
tainly the opposition has brought to the
support of himself and his friends the
powerful element of the honest people of
the State. At Syracuse saw the yeo-
manry in solid phalanx for Robinson.
The honest toilers in the party, the anti
Tammany, the anti-canal ring men, were,
l. to man, for Robinson.
s Tammany has SO corrupted the courts
e here that | am told by lawyers of promi,
d nence that it is almost impossible tc
practice law outside the ring. All i'm.
portant cases 60 by reference to the
e favorites Of Tammany, and the referee sys
q tenn has become so infamous here that il
I, can not be tolerated much longer. Ches
d ter A. Arthur, the Ex-Colector and
o John Kelly, sleep together politically
They join hands and prostitute the par
ties they adhere to for personal gain
q Now, what will come out of all this ir
n November? The honest Democrats will
a support Robinson.
Il All honest men SLY he has made ar
e exceptionally good Governor. His vote
will be increased by the moderate class O.
h Republicans in the country districts
d T,mmany may cast 10000 votes fo
'e Kelly. Cornell will lose the Young Re
1t publican vote here, which is against him
The. canal Counties will cost SOM
20 Kelly votes, and at the same time
ID largely increased vote for Robinson. s.
y that on the whole Robinson will come II
10 Harlem River not $4,000 short as before
IN but ahead, and his majority will be aug
mented by the city vote.
