Albany Special Jan. 27) to Cincinnati En-
quirer.
The Democratic State committee, which
will meet here to-day, did not issue call
for the Slate convention. It's only business
was the filling of vacancies made by the bolt
of Tammany mepbers last fall. These va
cancies were filled in Mr.. Tilden's interest
without any trouble.
While the meeting of the committee was
SO short, and its business purely formal, it
seemed to have got into the air here that
the committee have some kind of creditable
assurance that Mr.. Tilden does not expect to
be candidate for the Presidential nomina-
ton. One member of the committee said
that Mr.. Tilden deserved the nomination,
and that the party could not pass over his
claims if he remained a candidate; but this
member felt certain that Mr.. Tilden did not
wish again to be candidate. Other mam-
bers were not quite as outspoken; but every
one who was approached said, with empha-
sis, that the regular delegation from New
York would go to the national convention
uncommitted to any candidate, and pre-
pared to support any Democrat whose name
commanded the convention.
The Tammany Democrats who sre here
laugh at this assertion. They say that the
names of the gentlemen who have been to-
day appointed to fill the vacancies on the
State committee ought to satisfy anybody
that Mr.. Tilden will still control the COM
mittee; but Republicans tonight are in
clined to believe the assertions of the regular
Democratic committeeman, and to think
that Mr.. Tilden may really be out of the
canvass.
The names of possible candidates are being
mentioned tonight have heard Bayard,
General Mcclellan and General Hancock
spoken of; but there are two other names
that were suggested by a member of the
committee in such manner as to cause the
rumor to spread that they were looked upon
with special favor by Mr.. Tilden and his
friends, and these are Ex-Governor Charles
j. Ingersoll and Ex-Governor James E.
English, of Connecticut. A member of
the committee is reported as having said
that the nomination of either of these
gentlemen makes the Connecticut
electoral vote certainly Democratic. That
remark has been repeated here and there,
and is regarded as significant. Another
member of the committee is said to have as
serted that he would not be greatly surpris-
ed if English received the nomination.
These and other assertions are so frequent
that the belief has gained very fast that
there has been an attempt to convey the i'm
preston that some person other than Mr..
rilden would bs the nominee. What TIE
object is of conveying such an impression is
matter of varied conjecture.
The members of the committee speak o!
the Kelly conference with contempt. They
say that his following is small, and what re-
mains is melting like snow-bank in an
April sun, and that the Democratic party of
the country can and will snub Kelly as a
person of no account. Republicans here
don't think so, and it is generally believed
that Mr.. Kelly relies upon the Republican
Legislature to give him control of patronage
in New York sufficient to hold together men
enough to do his and the Republican leaders
wishes.
