 but Bound to Defeat TiIdeR.
 NEW YORK, April 21.-The Tildan regular Democratic delegates to ths Syracuse eonven- tion were the first to return to the city, and the advanced guard of that division arrived at the Grand Central depot shortly before noon. The larger body of delegates did notreach the city till p. m. They all appeared very jubi- lant and claim decisive victory over their opponents. A special train containing the Tammany braves and followers, which left Syracuse at 10 a. m. arrived at 7:30 p. n. The majority of the Tammany men looked worn out and discongolate, but tried to put as good 8 face on as possible. They did not appear desirous of talking about their late de- feat, but one well known delegate from this city said: "Tammauy went to Syra- cuse to try and create harmony and unite the Democracy of the State; but how were we received? We were not even granted hearing. They tried the same game on us last fall and we cheek mated them. We prevented the election of Tilden's man for Governor, and we intend to prevent the election of Tilden for President. l can tell you,'' concluded he, ''that there is a minor ity of Democrats in this State who are strongly opposed to his nomination, and who have sworn to defeat his election should he be nominated" None of the regular De- mooracy would say whether Tilden would be the choice of the Cincinnati convention, neither would they say that he would not.

 The Cadets.
 WEST POINT, April 21.-B. o. Welsh, sus- pended cadet, was sworn. He said student named Palmer, who was candidate for West Point, had told him the second day before the Highland Falls article appeared in the New York Times, that he (PAlmer) had heard from some one in the village that cadets were at the Falls and had said that Whitaker would be ''fxed." Palmer said he had heard it from a milkman. Welsh said he understood from what Palmer said that the cadsts were at Ryan's place. Welsh said he did not know what milkman Palmer referred to.
 Cadet John B. McDonald of the second class, who was suspended in 1878 for striking Whitaker, was called to the stand and an swered every question of the formula in the negative, promptly and plainly, and he was asked no other questions.
 Cadet Frank B. Andrus, who also had trouble with Whitaker some time ago also answered the questions in the negative promptly.
 The following has been issued:

Nothing of any apparent inn portance has so far been obtained from the cadets, every one swearing that neither he nor any one he knew had anything to do with the assault.
