At the Democratic State Convention in
Syracuse. y. Y. last week. the friends Of
Tilden had the entire control. a. Ma GA
pec;ed. bu, the Tammany delegates held an
other Convention in a separate Hall and
nominated delegates 10 the Cincinnati Con
veniion. where the neat contest wi!l occur.
1t seems TO be pretty vel established al
ready. that only the 1ilden delegates viii be
admitted 10 the National Convention but Il
is not 20 well established that TllLcn viii
be the nominee. There j. a strong feeling
against him and the open and positive aS>er-
ton by the Tammany leaders that ihty viii
defeat him in New York. if nominated. a.
they did Robinson last fall. i likely to have
considerable weight in the Convention. ~
an indication OF how far this opposition viii
be carried. We give the following extracts
from speech delivered by John Kelly he
fore the Tammany General Committee in
New York. last FRIDAY evening. Mr.. Kelly
said:
I'VE told the people who nominated
Lucius Robinson that If they persisted IN -
dong he would be beaten. and be was
beaten Now, We tell the Democrats Of the
country that If Nh Tilden is nominated at
Cincinnati 80 surely he viii be defeated.
Loud cheers. We had a large Convention,
composed Of representative men from every
Assembly District in the State. IL has
chosen delegates 10 go 10 Cincinnati aud say
TO the National Convention that if il nomi-
mates Samuel J. Tilden for the Presidency
We will oppose him with all our might Let
ii 20 forth to every city, town and hamlet
ths; If Samuel j. Tilden j. nominated he
viii meet with the strong and vigorous OPP
position Of Tammsny Hall. 1t Is the CON
yiction Of large part of the Democracy of
this city and State that il would be shame
TO nominate Mr.. Tilden. If the National
Convention persists in so doing. IN the words
OF the play, We can say, Shake not thy
CORY locks al me. Thou canst not say did
t."
If the people. with their eyes open. will
vote for such man for the high and honored
position Of President, the shame viii rest
upon them until they go down TO their
graves. | have too high an opinion Of the
intelligence of the American people 10 be
lieye that they viii do an act like that.
believe tina, a candidate Will be selected who
will be worthy Of their support. ! believe
that the candidate will De one who i not
liable to be placed on trial for violating his
country's laws, or who is in any way mixed
up with fraud or bribery. l. il possible tina,
it has come TO this, that the only nomina-
ton that the Democratic party hopes TO win
with is Samuel J. Tilden2 II so, the Demo
cratic party is not fit to live for twenty -four
hours. ] am told that the Southern and
Southwestern States want & man whom we
can win with. So do We wan; a man who
can win. And If the proper man j. nomi-
mated we viii win. Cheers Our delega-
ton viii go to Cincinnati TO represent the
Democracy Of New York City and State.
We do not go there TO threaten, but to tell
the National Convention that we cannot
carry this State with Mr.. TiiGen Is the
nominee-that it would be the mistake of
their lives to present that man again to the
American people for their sufrages. [Great
cheering.
