peachable in the Federal tribunal, the
Democracy of Tennessee declare that
by this shameless dishonesty and i'm
pudent political jugglery in great
crisis of National affairs, the RepuS-

public confidence and demonstrated
Its utter untltness to continue the ad-

New York Herald: While ex-Judge
Amasa Parker sat in the rooms of the
anti-Tilden State Committee vester.
day the conversation turned upon the
Hegald's recent interview with Gen.
Lester b. Faulkner-an interview
which many Democrats conjecture to
have been inspired by Mr.. Tilden.
The Judge was asked whether Gen.
Faulkner was justified in inferring
from the result of the election in Al.
bany that Mr. Tilden had gained
strength III that region. The reply
was: Gen. Faulkner may be par
dOned for not being familiar with the
loca! politics of Albany. He was
greatly mistaken in suppo,ing that
the result of the recent charter cleo.
ton in that city was an Indication ofless
hostility to Mr. Tilden than was shown
by the vote at the State election last
November. 1t had no significance
whatever us to the feeling Oh the
Presidential! election. Mayor Nolan,
who was renominatcd, was the only
Democratic candidate. There was no
other candidate in the field except
Birch, the Republican candidate.
Banks, the citizens candidate, had
withdrawn from the canvass when it
was too late to supply his place. No
Ian was earnestly supported by most
of the Democrats of the city. He re-
ceived, also Il very large share of the
Republican votes. As to myself |
took SO much interest in the reelec-
ton Of Mr. Nolan that with Il friend
who was to east his first vote hasten
ed home from journey two days ear
lier than | should have done for the
purpose of voting for Nolan and of en-
abling my friend to do 50. There has
been no change i'll Albany favorable
to Mr. Tilden since the election of last
fall. But there are many in Albany
who, like myself, voted for Gov. Rob
inson that are strongly opposed tc the
nomination of Mr. Tilden."
"As the chairman of the anti-Til-
den Democratic State Convention, re-
Gently held at Syracuse. you had an
opportunity to know its character and
the feeling represented by its dele
gates. Will you give me your opin-
ions on these subjects and upon the
relative strength of Gov. Robinson
and Mr. Tilden in this state at the last
election?"
The Judge replied: "Gov. Robin
son was much stronger iii the state
than Mr.. Tilden. His integrity and
ability no one questioned, and as to
most Of the Democrats opposed to Mr..
Tilden, though they thought Gov.
Robinson had been badly advised by
Mr.. Tilden, and has made some grave
mistakes as to matters in the city of
New York, yet such was their conf
dence i'll Gov. Robinson and their ha-
bitual respect for regular nominations
that they voted for Gov. Robinson,
though they knew that so to vote
might be misconstrued into an indica-
ton Of tavoring Mr.. Tilden. The re-
cent Democratic anti-Tilden State
Convention shows that this feeling
peryades the entire State. 1t Is
wrong to call that convention Tam
many Convention. 1t was conven-
ton in which all parts of the State
were fully represented by long, tried
and faithful Democrats, who came
forward to avert if possible that
disaster that would be sure to fall up
on the Democratic party if Mr.. Til
den should be chosen again as the ma
tiOnal standard bearer"
''ln that convention" the Judge
said, in conclusion, "Tammany dele
gates, included the Comptroller of
New York. All the other counties
were represented by other Democrats,
and very many, perhaps Il majority,
of the delegates, like myself, had sup
ported Gov. Robinson for reelection.
Depend upon it, the anti-Tilden feel
ing in this State Is vastly more ex-
tensive and more deeply seated than
any hostility to GOV. Robinson ever
was. am well satisfied that if Mr..
Tilden shall he nominated he will be
very badly beaten in this State. who
everm may be the Republican candidate.
The better Democrats of the State
would not have courage to engage in
the contest, knowing that their cam
didate would be hopeleS>ly on the de-
fensive throughout The entire cam.
paign."
