Will leave the convention. There will be no
attempt to induce delegates from the country
| to withdraw with them, as has been sup
posed, and no attempt to hold another con-
vention here. They will return at once 10
New-York, and in due time will hold convention
of their own. indorsing all of the Syracuse state
ticket except the nomination for Governor and
naming for that some man with local strength IN
New-York. When asked whose name would prob
ably be used this delegate said he thought General
William +. Smith, ex-Police Commissioner by grace
of Governor Robinson, would be the man. Some OF
the Tammany delegates have already been In
structed for him. and his name would be the most
significant that could be placed on the ticket The
Tammany people say they would expect such
ticket to get votes in Albany County and other re-
gions where the Anti-Tilden faction Is numerous.
But while these the views of well-known
delegate 1t is too soon yet to say that they fully
represent the intention of Tammanny Hall. Some
of the Tammany men profess entire Indifference to
the State ticket on the ground that there will
hardly be an alliance between the Republicans and
Ant-Tammany Democrats in New-York this Fall.
As one of the Kelly expressed 1t, eve don't

got the Presidency behind them. and they're anx-

Ii must be added that the Tammany men talk
as if they meant to bolt. There various theories
about this, however. One is that there will be no
bolt, but that if the denomination programme is
successful Tammany will sit In sulen silence from
that time until the adjournment. neither voting nor
speaking. This view is that OF Iammany man
TO tins theory the Tammany men fear that their
places. if they withdrew, would be filled at once
by the Anti-Tammany delegation, and that
next Spring when the country is called to elect
delegates 10 the Presidential Convention Iammany

TOUCHING MR.. KELLy's INFLUENCE.
Another very interesting question that is much
discussed is that of Mr.. Keys ability TO cary all
his delegates with him should he decide to with
draw. The delegation supposed to comprise the
most loyal men Mr. Kelly could find. but 1T Is said
by Robinson men that three or four MEM
bers Of the delegation would be unwilling
to withdraw and it is even said that the number
of those who do not sympathize with Mr.. Kellys
present position comprises no less n person than
Henry l.. Clinton himself. the chairman Of the Tam
nanny Hall General Committee.
II seems to be generally believed also that Mr..
Kelly could not carry the whole of his organi-
zaton at home with him. Heretofore IN Demo-
cratic conventions the Tilden people. while they
have usually had tho votes, have suffered great
deal and have sometimes incurred actual disaster
because of their lack Of bold parliamentarians
and good takers. The Anti-Iilden people on the
other hand have usually been excellently equipped,
most of the "old warehouses" being against Til
den and Iilden's successor. This year there seems
to be probab lity that the two factions will be
nearer equality in this respect.
There has been great slaughter of Anti-Tiden
leaders in the rural districts. When Mr.. Kelly
told q reporter of aNew-York paper the other day
that Govarnor RnIinson .sloull he reuominatel
be should consult with such men in the convention
as Allen c. Beach and Dewitt G. West. be
did not know, apparently, that both of
those gentlemen had been requested politely but
firmly by their Democratic constituentsi not to act
as delegates to the State Convention. The Secre-
tary of State, Mr. Beach, is ayOwedly q Tilden man
and his homo organ has been advocating the
denomination of Governor Robinson. but
the Tilden and Robinson leaders do not
seem to trust Mr. Beach, nor do his
own constituents He attempted to control both
conventions In Jefferson County, aud the sum of
his vote was 10. The sum of ms opponents vote
was 61 Dewitt e. West, who SO much talked
of rs a candidate for Governor in 1876, de-
feated IN Lewis County, even in an attempt to be
elected az delegate.
Among Others who are defeated arc William H.
Sawyer of ST. Lawrence, who sold out to the Anti
Tildenies last year IN hope of getting the nomina-
ton for Judge of the Court of Appeals; Ex-State
Treasurer Charles n. Ross, of Cayuga; f. l.. West
brook of ser WHO'S understood to represent Judge
| Westbrook i'll politics; and Isaac McCOnihe, of
| Troy the leader of the Anti-rlden element in
| Rensselaer, County. Ex-Congressman Charles
| Walker of Chemung, the great Anti-Iiden clown
| of pas. conventions received Ia his home conven-
| ton only votes out oil 10.
