NEW YORK, March a.-The anti-Tildcn or

same place with the Tidcn wing. The division
Of the party in this State is mt less clearly de-
fined thun it was lust fall To disproye the oft
made assertion of the Tildenites that Tammany
has no following outside Of New York. the anti
Tilden facHon is being rcorganzed throughout
the State. Among this faction Hancock seems
the fayorit candidate. Anybody but Tilden will,
however. be accepted. Tiiden will never be.
John Kelly says SO, unquestfonably
menus 1t, and has his purity at
his back in the asser1on,-a sufficient party, Us

also, that Tamuany strongly wants harmony
without Tilden, hut delegates will be sent to
Chicago by Tam1nany unless the other portion
pledges its delegates to somebody besides Til
den, and that an unplcdged delegation would
not be satisfactory. Tammany must be on hand
at the National Convention to see that no foul
play is successfully attempted.
