The trouble with the Tlden wing Of the New
York Democracy is that they have been ont wittcd
by Tammany. If they had been sharp they would
have called State Convention just as soon they
found ont Tammany desired TO haze one. Instead
of dong that they paid 10 attention to Iammany's
wishes and gave it a grievance. Iammany Is now
