TIE Tammany, Democracy Of New
York have issued an address 10 the
Democrats of the state, In which they
arraign Gov. Robinson for his relations
to Tiiden and for perverting his Office
to gratify personal ambitions For once
it appears that Tammany will surely bolt
the regular Democratic nominee. The
quarrel Is an interesting one, and b
likely to shake the Democracy of the
Empire State from center to circumfer-
ence. ~ q Ec.54 Is, t1U III H.4

THE regular Democracy which nomi-
mated John Quincy Adams for governor,
has stolen march upon the Butler wing
of the Democracy, By selecting four
delegates to represent the state At large,
to the national Democratic convention
which meets in 1880. The object Of this
movement 10 to proclaim the John
Quincy Adams section ~ the regular
Democracy in the estimation OF
