A VICTORY CLAIMED BY BOTH TILDEN AND TAM
MANY MEN.
A number of the delegates from the Tam
many and AntiTammany organizations to the Syndicate
Conventions arrived In the city last night They were
not inclined to talk much about the Conventions because
they said, they we're entirely worn out.
The men Of both factions bOasted OF having scored
victory. The Anti-Tammany men said that Tllden
was stronger than They laughed at the Tammany
Convention. declaring that John Kelly was completely
defeated and ntmated that his days OF leadership were
drawing 10 close. The Tammany men, on the Other
hand rejoiced over what they considered victory.
They asserted that their chief mission TO Syracuse was
to extend the olive branch and be placed on record
as having tried TO harmony in the Democratic
ranks in this State Some OF them declared that they
would go Cincinnati although they did not expect to
be admitted into the Convention. IT, however, Tilden
were nominated, they said, Tammany would name an
other ticket and they would be successful at least in de-
feating him in this State, and thus keeping him from
being elected Representatives of the Democratic Union
too thought that they had reasOns for rejoicing
sOme OF the points iu their memorial which they had
asked the regular Convention to consider were carried
out.
The first delegation to arrive was that from the Tiden
Convention. The train reached the Grand Central
Depot at ,. NJ. There were only about twenty-five
delegates In the ran and very few OF the eading men
on board.
"Wbat do think Of the convention Z" exclaimed
" Why, 1t was grand success for Mr. Tilden' What
took place there is just what anticipated would hap
pen The convention was for Mr. Tiden, and the dele
cation TO Cincinnati is in his favor Tho Kelly Convcn-
ton was failure all through think that sums up the
whole matter on both sides"
Justice Murray said, "The convention complete
victory for Tden. II was harmonious from first to last
with only very weak opposition to Tlden. Twas on
the Committee Contested Seats and had an oppOr-
tuny seeing all the movements. The delegation to
the National Convention Is Just strongly in Mr. TIL
den's favor don't think this great success means
any man that Tllden may name AZ Cincinnati,
but believe that II means Tiden himself. 1t
will be the fight OF 1876 again. and effort to
gain what6as lost then. Kelly viii have no show at
Cincinnati, and consider his convention a perfect
farce"

that Mr. Faulkner declared speech that he did not
know whether Tllden was a candidate or not and Dir.

affirmed that Tilden could have the votes Of the New
York delegation at the National Convention il he wanted
them.

State the National Convention strongly In his
favor,
